Dust – Sturmpioniere

Another squad of German Dust-figures finished.

I try to get a coherent look for each faction, with emphasis on painting speed. That means no fancy camouflage and a very limited number of paints. My goal is to get troops ready for a game or two, not get them ready for a painting competition.

I'll use clear bases from Sally 4th as soon as I get them.

Paints used for German troops:

Armour – Vallejo 995 German Grey drybrushed with 992 Neutral Grey

Clothing – 830 German Fieldgrey WWII

Heavy weapons, gasmasks, equipment – 920 German Uniform

Tubing – 836 London Grey

Power packs – 859 Black Red

Belts and high boots – Black

Low boots, chinstraps, gloves, other leather equipment – 872 Chocolate Brown

Panzerfausts – 977 Desert Yellow

Hand weapons – 863 Gunmetal Grey with two Washes of Army Painter Dark Tone ink

Everything except armour, skin and Panzerfausts washed with AP Dark Tone ink

PF and skin washed with AP Strong Tone ink

Good enough and works well with the rest of the German figures. Not as fancy as those Thomas did a couple of years ago, but I bet mine were done in a much shorter time :-)

Ready for combat!

Don't forget the give-away, open until December 22.
