Author Topic: 15mm Eureka Sci-Fi German Stormtroopers - painting assistance  (Read 6152 times)

I have about 120 of Eurekas's new and old 15mm Sci-Fi German stormtroopers. They will be based on Fow Bases. I want them to be useful for a wide amount of uses including,

1. VERY Late FoW Panzer Grenadiers.
2. 1947 and/or Weird War 2
3. Neo Nazi Force for AK47 Republic Rules.
4. Generic Sci-Fi troops for such rules as Alien Squad Leader, Future War Commander and Ambush Alley and its Sci-fi version.

So my problem is, what paint scheme do I use? Do I paint uniform and body armour the same colour or do I use one colour for the uniform and a contrast colour for the Body armour?

PLEASE REMEMBER- THEY ARE 15mm

Some Ideas include,
i) Field Grey Uniform with black body armour
ii)Afrika Corps coloured unifom with Black Body armour.
iii) Dark Grey/Black uniform AND Body Armour. (Simple to do, may be effective with highlights and colour accents)
iv) A late war Camo Pattern.

I am looking for your ideas and inspiration.

Thanks for the help.

I'd say a dark gray uniform with OD green armor. Brown leather for the masks with red eyes.

Or if you want to be different and original, do ACW union blue with mid-gray armor in sort of a urban style.

Very, very nice! What colours did you use? You don't need to be exact. It looks like a Khaki Green to me.

Nope, it is all based on Andrea German Field Grey with some highlights!
