This weekend I made four Jump-off points and a load more barbed wire sections for our games.

This week I have painted a pack of the Great War Miniatures German Snipers from Northstar along with the freebie give-away from the Hammerhead show, Chief of the German General Staff, Erich von Falkenhayn, architect of the slaughter at Verdun.



The pack of German snipers is exquisite and I have probably gone a bit overboard with the number of close-ups but the pictures on the Northstar site do not do justice to this pack.






Loads more on the blog

Lovely stuff. I like the effort you've put into the bases too.

[Metternich]

Thanks for posting - fine painting of some very interesting figures.

Those prone snipers are something special.

Thanks chaps, they were a joy to paint. Back to bog-standard riflemen now

[Atheling]

Excellent stuff Paul 

Darrell.

Over the long weekend break I managed to paint another 18 Great War Miniatures Germans.



I took the plunge on Friday and bought myself a craft magnifier, despite about a 25% increase in time to apply the highlights I am really happy with the result.



As usual, more commentary on the Scrivsland blog http://scrivsland.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/more-great-war-germans-plus-admission.html

What are your green-ish and blue-ish base colors?

They look wonderful.  I have a platoon's worth to paint up and cannot seem to figure out the right pallet.

[H.M.Stanley]

Ahh, reinforcements eh?

Good work that man

Cheers chaps
