Title: Weird War Wehrmacht Wampires
Post by: Neldoreth on September 26, 2006, 06:36:34 PM

I painted up a couple of Pullp Figures She-Wolves as vampires for my Weird War action. It was a lot of fun, but I am not sure how well I like the grey skin scheme that I chose. It looks a little too zombie to me. What do you guys think?

I like it. Maybe a tad grey, but I think it works well.

Thanks guys for the positive feedback! It is greatly appreciated. I feel the same way. Maybe a bit too grey but certainly table worthy :)

Thanks again

Like them. The grey skin looks great for a vampire.  

And i must have those minis. They have this "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" feeling.

Actually I like the look.  Very undead looking.  By the way what paints did you use for the uniform.  I need to paint up a bunch of German's.

I do believe that colour is Vallejo German Uniform WWII number 920. It is really only any good for early war stuff though. Later in the war they went to the German Feild grey and various camo patterns.

If you are interested, I have a couple of early war German miniatures in this gallery on my Website. I actually painted those at the same time I painted these vampires! check them out here (I am selling them too as a matter of fact):

Neldoreth,

Nice job on those as well.  That is pretty funny about you selling those German's.  I was on ebay this morning and saw one of them up for sale.  I got to say that one is extremely well done.
