Hi again,

Artizans Pulp style Thrilling Tales Nachtjaeger.
I wanted a more “realistic” look for them. So I decided to use historic German Fallschirmjaeger colours.
The smock is painted in splinter camo, the armour in Luftwaffe Grau.

Now they are nice!

And a timely inspiration. I was just pondering how to do mine the other day. I love the camo parts. :love:

Like them a lot, I have painted mine with olive smocks and Luftwaffe bluegrey trousers, I have painted the bags/water bottles a mixture of black in keeping with the armour and the usual colours. The officer I have done in my take on the supposed final camo that was in progress "leibermuster" although it is thought that it was to be universal I thought that the luftwaffe may have their own pattern.

Mike also as some shock troops on the go there is a photo of one with a flamethrower on the Artizan Yahoo site.

While I am writing may I offer mt best wishes for the season and the new year to everyone and remember keep your lead muntain high.

Good painting there.

Agis, they look great - quite grungy. These really are lovely figures.
I still think Zoogla's nachtjaeger are just about the best painted 28mm figures I've ever seen, but yours are pretty nice too :wink:

Funny thing, Zoogla's Jaeger were THE reason to paint these more dull and realistic.
I like the execution but I really disliked the colours...

Talk about personal taste...

Absolutely great! Mine are still in their 'aging' box. Like a fine wine I have to leave my lead until it is properly aged. That's the excuse I've used for the last 30 years and I can't change now........

I like them a lot. I'm going to buy me some at some future point for some pulp/weird war stuff - and I'll probably stick to WWI grey with black or dark blueish grey for armour (I'm not a great painter, you see...)... But we'll see about that later...

I like them too. When I get mine, I'll probably go for a Fallschirmjaeger colour scheme too.
