Fallshirmjager finally finished

Despite the relieved sound of the title, I really enjoyed painting these figures. I am glad to get them finished, though, because they are for Craig and the Christmas period saw a number of delays in getting them painted.
No captions, these are the last 29 of the 45 figures I had to paint.







They are painted with a base coat, Army Painter Strong Tone dip, and then highlighting. I find the dip comes into its own when painting WWII figures with the muted colour schemes, and it protects the paint job that much more.
I quite pleased with the flamethrower at the bottom too. I don't know that the photo really captures the blending between the colours very well.
Now - 24 Perry ACW cavalry for John, a Flames of War Panzergrenaider platoon for myself and some Native Americans ( I can't say Indians given that I am doing a project with Indian Indians which might make things confusing) for Geoff.

    They look great, I can't wait to see them in person. Hopefully they will serve me well.

      Thanks Phil. I got the idea from Sid Roundwood's WWI bases.

      Thank you Michael. They can't compete with that great Blackadder vignette of yours though!

      Thanks Blaxkleric. The fire was fun to do and quite simple in the end.
