“…The defenders of Hitler’s Atlantikwall, the coastal fortifications of North Western Europe, were not idle.” |
As with all my other “FoW” German soldiers, the figures were initially super-glued onto wooden strips, before being primed in “Vallejo” German Fieldgrey WWII, shaded using “Citadel” Nuln Oil, and dry-brushed with (more) “Vallejo” German Fieldgrey WWII. Their details were then ‘picked out’ predominantly using “Vallejo” Heavy Sienna, Gunmetal, Buff, German Camouflage Dark Green, Heavy Brown and a series of “Citadel” Shades.
"Flames Of War" WIPs - The three Riflemen have had all their details 'picked out' |
For starters, I plan to bolster my first Grenadier Platoon’s MG42 & K98 rifle teams from five stands to its maximum of seven. I actually need two of these platoons to ultimately field a legal Beach Defence force, so at some point will need to pigment a second Unit Leader team mounted on a small base. Then, once I’ve completed eight four-figure stands in total I’ll have the option of deploying two minimum-strength platoons as opposed to just one at full-strength.
"Catalyst Game Labs" - The Stormcrow is slowly having it hull repainted light grey and white |
I always thought that the original palette I used on my first “second generation OmniMech” was a little too dark for my liking, and indeed have since returned to the model so as to ‘pick out’ its shoulders with some eye-catching yellow. I have therefore gone with a somewhat lighter grey for this second incarnation using some “Vallejo” German Fieldgrey WWII, whilst still replicating the yellow shoulder flashes and light grey feet of the first.
