For the DAK I've added an assault pioneer section. These can be used for various games. In Battlegroup you can field a full pioneer platoon so I'm thinking that I can just spread these figures out with the regular troops to add a bit of a pioneer flavour.
As I was doing these figures I thought that they would be the last DAK I would need to paint. But then I remembered that I still need to do a few figures for a Kradschutzen (motorcycle) Section. Really, I don't need to do these but if I ever want to do a decent company sized DAK game and incorporate a motorcycle recce section, then I'm going to need them. If I ever want to do a full Kradschutzen platoon, I'll just use the regular figures but I'm gonna need another nine motorcycles!
A Boys AT Rifle, a 2" mortar and a Lewis MMG.
And lastly, a set of PSC Opal Blitz for blitzkrieg period.
Good additions! How did you weather the trucks? The panzer grey on my early war vehicles looks too dark. I would like to lighten them up like yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan.
DeleteI use a fairly large (size 5 or 6), cheap, soft brush. I ruin the point of the brush and make it fluffy. I then use the brush to dry-brush Game Colour khaki (76021) over the model. If I'm doing a desert vehicle I do the same but use Game Colour Bonewhite (72034).
The brushes I use for dry-brushing are really cheap. I get a few sets of them from Aldi when they're on sale.
Make that Game Colour khaki (72061).
DeleteLooking excellent! I especially dig those Blitz trucks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Moiterei, I like them too. They are pretty basic but I like the effect.
