Hi all,

After many years of abstinence from some WWII related subjects, I rather fancied to paint some of the Warlord's German Heer Figures in Wintergear. They were a nice change to the Napoleonic's I usually paint and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I painted the Anoraks again in my trusted and now well proven Foundry "Arctic Grey" 'Triad with additional deeper shading. The Officers Coat and the other Field Grey Uniform parts were painted with Reaper's "Olive Green" Triad, whereas the fur linig of the Officer was painted with Foundry's "Buff Leather" with a light was of GW Agrax Earthshake.

The Helmets, Caps and the Officers Tunic were painted with Coat d'Arms "Dark Grey" Triad. For the Bread Bag, Binoculars and various Magazine Pouches I used Coat d'Arms "Stone" Triad with additional shading using GW Agrax Earthshake by adding it to the "Mid Stone" colour.

For the Bases I used some "Golden Grass" Tufts from MiniNatur to represent the Winter Vegetation and drybrushed the normal Grass Flock with GW "Desert Yellow" to dull down the green a bit. For the Snow I used a Mix of PVA Glue, AP Battlefields Snow and Andrea Artificial Snow Powder in a overall Ratio of 3:2:1. I applied the mix with a small brush in a couple of layers but also sprinkled some dry AP Snow on top of the mix to represent fresher Snow.
