They look very cool! I like the color of the dirt. How did you paint it?

Thanks Regulator!
The dirt on the coats is just a little dry-brushing with GW Graveyard Earth followed by a very small ammount of GW Desert Yellow.

Lovely, truely lovely, just one thing again (like with your ruskies)...

GLOVES!!  :o

You always forget em mate, first your russian's had their poor fingers frozen to their weapons, not this lot are gonna be left with zombie hands, (like Jass hands but less animated...or even more animated depending on your perspective!).

;)

Thanks Slobberblood, glad you like them!

Thanks Commander. I take on board what you're saying about the gloves but I did the hands "flesh" to break up the dark tones ( more appearance than practical!!). When I finish the next lot ( Heavy weapons and MG42's) I'll try them with black gloves.

Cheers

I was only messing but it will give a nicer slightly more perverse ss feel to them.

Just completed some AT troops to go with my Sturm Grenadiers.
They are all converted Artizan Minis.

Wow thats a tough conversion, I can do the masks and the armour, but those canisters on the masks, forget it. Did you use a bead or something to get the uniform shape?  o_o

Thanks, I'm glad you like them.
The canisters are very simple. I just found some thin "Sprue" from a model kit and cut some thin discs. Alternatively you can buy thin plastic rods from most good modelling suppliers.

They look great! Also nice to see one in the unpainted version, which gives more of an idea of the extent of the conversion.
I'm tempted to try some myself now, but I already have so many minis still to paint.

Thanks, it'll make fleshing out my Artizan ranks so much easier, the WIP pic is ideal. Have you tried procreate? It's much easier to get harder edge objects like armour!

Recycling sprue is the way forward. Such a usefull modelling material!
