Do they mix well? I've heard that the Incursion and Blue Moon are taller.

I can't speak to the others, but the WW and Incursion minis do mix well size-wise.

I'll take a side-by-side picture tomorrow if I remember.

Well, no comparison picture yet as I'm in the middle of painting the blue moon zombies, so will take a picture when they're done.

Meanwhile, here's two Incursion zombies I finished yesterday. One German, one British.

Really? I think the highlights on the german one are too strong and on the british one they are too weak.

You could add more hightlights to the British one but its not really nesscary. The German's uniform is too light and I don't understand why the gas mask isn't black. But the flesh colored mask is very scary.

I disagree on the German uniform. I happen to have a German uniform in my closet (reenacting purposes, don't anybody go out and accuse Doc of consorting with the Hilterites!), and the button up shirt worn under the coat is almost precisely in that shade, even fading in the same areas. The pants are fine, too.

You have to remember that there is no "Standard" shade for Feldgrau. Companies produced a bewildering variety of colors - from very dark, dark green to almost grey, even fairly early in the war. That's what happens with different dye lots, materials, etc.

And if you're still worried about it being lighter, consider that this is a dead man, who was probably covered with dirt, or at least laying in a ditch somewhere, when he was given a dose of the "up and at 'em" juice.

The British uniform looks just fine to me too.

Indeed, just look at Valkyrie for some faded uniforms. With this one however it bothered me that it's not a proper tunic. There are no pockets, no shoulderstraps, nothing. So looks more like either a civilian jacket or a shirt. so I painted it lighter than the trousers, so it might pass for a shirt that was worn under the discarded tunic.

Don't look at Valkyrie. I know we're all starved for new WW2 films but...

Actually, I suspect that might have been the sculptor's intention. There's a button up shirt worn under the tunic in for most of the war. A lot like a civilian shirt, but with a much longer tail. I think you could probably pass it off as that.

Yes I think it is intended to be the under shirt and not the tunic. But I think the shirt collar is wrong.

white knight · « **Reply #27 on:** August 04, 2009, 08:25:38 AM »

That's possible, I have no idea what colour the shirt is supposed to be.

However, as this is an alternative timeline, I'm not too bothered about historical accuracy. Who's to say a world that has zombies, werewolves, vampires, robots and giant walkers can't have shirts that are a different colour too?

I agree. It is about what "feels" right for the game.
