Africa corps (Oasis finished)

[gamer Mac]

Not up to a lot of other members standards but I will apply the 2' rule and play with them anyway.
What do you think?
Should I add some green grass to the bases?







Not great photos I seem to have lost the knack as well as forgot how to paint.
This is the most figures I have painted this year, One section of ten guys, including the MG, and two guys with an anti-tank rifle.

They look fine from here!  White highlights on goggles work nicely.  Suggest you add a few grass tufts and/or tiny patches of green flock - not loads but enough to add some variety.

Well, sometimes its better to have them painted than endlessly sat on a fussy painting table, but these look good to me.  A bit of static grass on the base will give them a boost. 

[Dave C]

Looking good to me. Keep up the good work!

[Londoncopper]

I like them, especially the goggles, nothing wrong with them at all.

[Captain Blood]

I like them Colin.
Mutineer sell 'desert tufts' which are kind of dark olive green scrub. Work very well on desert sandy bases 

[Cubs]

Woooo ... check out the funky reflections on those goggles. Nice.

As for tufts, I've discovered a company called Tajima1, who do some very nice sets.

[Remington]

To be honest I wouldn't overdo it with the gras tufts. The bases look good barren.

As for standards... I'd play against your DAK any time of the week.

[gamer Mac]

Thanks guys
I may try some small patches on a couple of them.

[Dr. The Viking]

Why the modesty Colin?!

These look superb! Especially when they'll be joined by 20 or so rat friends.  

Only 'aber dabei' I can think of would be that you should add a black line for the eyes. Not painting them, just a black line (Captain Blood style) - it really makes them come to life for a very little investment.


Will you be playing 'historical' or more pulp/adventure?

[Andym]

Great Colin! I've got desert-y grass tufts if you want some?

[gamer Mac]

We are going to try boltaction my brother has some 8th army to build and paint.

[tomek917]

I think they look great!

[Torben]

They look great! I'm myself painting some DAK for the very same purposes - Bolt Action against some 8th Army Rats

[Andym]

I meant to say, I don't recognise the building behind your figs....
