Thanks for the feedback chaps, much appreciated.

Here's the next four:

There was a certain degree of trepidation attempting to paint the eyes, there was a real likely-hood they would end up looking like the Marty Feldman fan club.

Bases for the prone blokes have still not turned up so I'll just add those later. The book however arrived today

Really top notch stuff. I’m not a fan of painted in eyes normally but you’ve done a bloody good job.

Wow! Those turned out great!

Thanks Carlos, sometimes they work out OK'ish. I may go back and put a wash over them, to knock back the white.
Feels like they are all staring at me...

@commissarmoody: Thanks very much.

I'm now out of things to paint so will have to look in the 'box of shame/apathy' for some half done horror that I previously walked away from...

These are very good - well done

Though I'd better make a note of this before the grey matter looses the info:

Skin was 'flat flesh', washed with some thinned down very old citadel purple ink. highlighted 'flat flesh' & ' light flesh'.
The webbing was base coated 'Russian tank crew' or 'Russian uniform', and highlighted with 'khaki', then washed with 'olive green', the respirator bags were washed with 'Luftwaffe green'.
The battle dress was 'English uniform' shaded with 'German.cam black/brown'.Highlighted with 'English uniform' & 'khaki'.

The smocks where 'dark sand' with a little 'red leather' then a very thin wash of 'red leather'.
The green blotches were a mix of approx 60% 'olive green' & 40% 'ocher brown'.
The brown blotches were roughly 50/50 'hull red' & 'German cam. medium brown'

Pretty much the whole thing, uniform & webbing was dry brushed with 'khaki'.

They are. They're saying hurry up and do the rest of the platoon.

Not staring anymore, as I have redeployed them to a KR case!
I'm rather keen to crack on with more of these, they were very enjoyable to paint;
from Paul @ Empress's comment there are another sixteen on his desk staring at him, hopefully whispering " send some test minis to Ash you know it makes sense..."

I'm sure the figures in 'battle dress' would look better with some unit badges showing, I'm hunting decals...

Those look excellent! I first saw them on the Wargamers Forum. Nice to see the extra photos.

Cheers for the comment. All the same pictures were posted there as well, but only finished pics go in the 'Gallery' section, the WIP pics are in the section for ongoing projects.

Thanks, I'll have a look. Mine are under Winter Game Project, here and there.
