I am being very lazy but I know I’ll get the answers I am looking for from this forum.
I am going to be painting some early German infantry for a pulp game. I have painted smaller 20mm German infantry in the passed but not to very good standard. Basically flat field grey and flat black for the webbing. No high lights or shading.
Now that I am a better painter and wanting to paint better detailed 28 mm I am looking for help with the colours to use.
The majority of paints that I use are GW so I was wondering which of these to use.
I was thinking;
Uniform
Undercoat -black
Base coat -Codex Grey
High light- Fortress grey
Some questions
Were the collar and epaulets a different colour?
I seem to remember a dark green collar?
Epaulets black with white piping?
What colour to paint the helmet?
I was thinking of these as early war German infantry and I am sure I remember pictures of a different colour jacket? Invasion of Poland, etc.
I have looked on the internet for ideas but my main problem is what GW colours suit?
I think I have an old Valaro field grey, if it is not dried up. But I seem to remember not liking the colour.
So can anybody help please?
I want to paint these over the weekend.
I will post pictures of my progress.
