Title: German Commandos
Post by: The Gray Ghost on June 02, 2010, 10:29:07 PM

I'm making up some German commandos, similar to Britain's, and want a distinct uniform for them.
I'm using mostly DAK troops in trousers from Black Tree and Artizan but I can't come up with a color scheme I like.
Any suggestions?

I know, but they wore the standard army dress and I'm looking for something different appearance.

You could paint them in splinter pattern cam (or any of the SS patern cams) & give them Fallschirmjager pattern helmets

if You want them historical You can't use FJ helmets for the Brandenburgers
there were though some FJ commandos as well.

Camo dress and mixed weaponry should be a good idea, so DAK troops in pants seem a good approach

They look, at a glance, to be Artizan Nachtjaegers.
