@Glenn: Good job the minis don't have a best before date I guess!
It is frustrating putting in lots of effort for little reward certainly, so I did have to shift my mental approach. Yes I'd ideally like to to play SoTR, but if I have fun just painting minis for the game, so be it. With that in mind, here are my next bunch.
Painted up some mildly kitbashed pulpy/occult/Wolfenstein inspired weird WW2 Germans. They used West Wind metal heads and Warlord Winter Germans plus some green stuff. They will probably serve as my SWD Platoon Command Squad and a couple of Feldwebels to 'direct' regular troops. (Aplogies, I had no joy getting decent pictures).
