Title: Eisenkern Sturmtruppen
Post by: dwartist on 03 March 2012, 04:33:24 PM
A very quick paint up of one of these lovely minis (I built and primed it too quickly and didn't notice the excess glue on the right arm so I've tried to make it look like damage to the armour)

That's a quick paint job?

Looks great to me.  :-*

I think the excess glue worked in your favor and gave the model even more character!

Sweet!! :-* if you hadn't pointed out the glue I wouldn't have noticed!

Are these minis supposed to be a different take on Star Wars Stormtroopers?

Nice but I'd have to do one in white mate, Sturmtruppen and all that ;).

Nice painting, and I like the body armour, but the heads overdo it for me.  I do like the look of the heavier armoured troops, so far only existing as 3D renders.

...and as the 6x6 has a somewhat WWII armour feel

Lovely paint job on the miniature, its very nice. Looks a lot like Kerebos stuff? The vehicle is very nice indeed, both as a model and what you have done with it :)

The turret definitely screams PzKpfw IV.

Great paint,

Nice work, as usual.


How do they compare to other figs like Pig Iron or Copplestone? They hefty or more spindly like Infinity?

I'll do some comparison pics but... taller and less bulky than PI; same height as tallest GOT but slightly bulkier: taller than Hasslefree adventurers (and Grymn  :D); same height and build, near enough, as Mercs; taller and slimmer than 40K cadians. Don't have any Copplestone. sorry.

This may or may not help?

Thanks D and NG. Appreciate it.

Might be time to swap out some older figs for a squad or two.

Hi guys, just wanted to give a heads up....

I just opened pre-orders for the Sturmtruppen and Kriegsmarine.

Pre-orders are available as of on March 12th (10% off), the sale and pre-orders will run through St. Patrick’s Day March 17.

I have about 200 Sturmtruppen and 100 Kriegsmarine on hand, so I will begin shipping some or all of the pre-orders on March 20th with the rest to be shipped within ten to fifteen days depending on the volume of orders.


New store front and pre-order sale can be found here:

I am too tempted, they are very useful for 1947 "What if?" scenarios...

Very keen. Thanks.

I cannot wait to get my paws on a 20-troop box of these! Dwartist, your work as always is stunning and inspiring. Just curious-what is the base color you used on the trooper? Thanks!

Metal figures are OOP and have been replaced (are being replaced) by the KS funded plastics (absolutely wonderful castings). They should be generally available soon. Have a look at the 'Eisenkern sniper' I've posted here and the 'Eisenkern 5-man squad' WIP fo reference.

Whoops...sorry I didn't realize that the first few posts on this thread were from a year ago March!

Sadly plastic holds no interest for me at this time.... :?

Cheers anyway...they are great looking figures.

Thankyou! Colours are Vallejo London Grey as the base and this is gradually lightened with Light Grey until pure Light grey is used on the edges of the armour. Lining is Dark grey and Black (both heavily thinned).
