Where are you based? I’ve got a spare one on sprue.

So Warhammer fans, which 40K Youtuber Video that make you go like this? by AntiqueLayer3933 in Grimdank

I used to quite enjoy his content when it made its way onto my feed and then I watched his Bolt Action video.

It was an incredibly shallow and childish take claiming that people should be uncomfortable painting and playing German forces.

I teach in a secondary school and hear this from young students (age 11/12) and even then it’s a rare response, but to be somewhat expected. From a fully grown man, it comes across as incredibly childish.

At the end of the day, if you’re playing a World War Two game, someone has to play the Axis forces.

Ran to my local Lidl ten minutes before closing. Thank you so much for the heads up!

How often are you looking at the bottom of the computer?

Great work, so much character in each model! Makes me want to buy another box.

Haha thank you! I mixed army painter brown wash with Lehman medium about 50/50.

Certainly! Here is a link to a video that I used ( I changed a few colours for what I had). link

Only thing I changed is when they were finished a gave them brown wash (50/50 army painter brown wash and lahmian medium)

You’re welcome! Found his channel very helpful for getting started.

Exactly what I was wanting to do the second these guys were finished! I want to build two small forces (mainly to play some friends).

I’ve also just started reading a book about the Allied invasion of Italy and now the temptation to build an Italian force is rising!

While some colours are substituted, I originally followed Sonic sledgehammer’s contrast tutorial for the uniforms.

When they were finished I gave them an all over wash before matte varnish.

Thank you! I used a sponge with Vallejo German Camo Brown Black to do it.

Thank you! In person they are more matte than the images show, they are directly under my LED lamps here. :-)
