Excellent!

Hi Mac, the flame thrower team, Grenade launcher & the AT rifle are all scratched gas masks, the rest are straight out of the box

Post by: Helen on October 28, 2008, 08:46:01 PM: Hi Keith, either you don't like painting faces or you have another idea in using these figures away from WW1! Just joking lol

Great work and will look forward in time seeing the remainder come to fruition.

Chow,

Helen

Hi Helen,
I just like the Idea of hordes of faceless troops charging across the board! (& you're right, I'm not keen on painting faces lol)

Post by: The Hooded Claw on October 30, 2008, 03:49:05 PM: These are lovely figs both in sculpt and paint job. The camouflage is lovely.

I am curious, though, does anybody know if there is a company that does packs of Germans with SMGs in gas masks? I have found a few but they are always mixed in with other figs which I do not need in any great number. I am planning on using the SMG troopers for inter-war pulp mercenary baddies.

Post by: The Hooded Claw on October 31, 2008, 04:14:45 PM: I had looked at those, but I do not that sort of flamer/LMG to SMG ratio. One flamer and one LMG might be useful, but mainly I need the SMGs. I am surprised nobody has done a pack of WW1 German gas mask heads.

Post by: aircav on October 31, 2008, 04:48:05 PM: Try West Wind LOTR they do gas mask heads that will work. I Have a pack, Ive done a conversion using one i will photograph it & post it for you :D
