I decided to put this in the Gallery as well. :)
It\'s for Flames of War in 15mm.
This is the start of my 2nd \"Das Reich\" PanzerKompanie.I\'m beginning with my infantry support using a Gepanzerte Panzergrenadier platoon.I used a mix of Pea Dot,Oak Leaf and a few in German Fieldgrey trousers.
I\'ll add more to this thread as I finish stuff.
Next up is some NW41 Rocket Launchers. :evilgrin:
Later vechicles will be added.
I hope some of you enjoy the pics. :)

Of Note:The idea is they are conducting operations through a village with some crumbling walls showing and the cobblestone streets are a bit overgrown.This will be the theme for my whole army.We are fighting Late War Normandy at our club.

Sehr schön anzusehen. Die Tarnung ist so gut, daß man die Figuren auf den ausgezeichneten Bases kaum erkennt.
Die Details gefallen mir auch sehr gut. Super !

great miniatures, wondefull and detailed painting,

but was ist necessary to post two theads (imgine the mess if everybodyposts his miniatures in the picture area, and the are for his time period)
also its a mess because people talk in both threads and questions and answers are double asked etc

Glad you liked the mini\'s :)
You have a point and no it\'s not necessary and at first I just posted it FOW,but I thought maybe some others who normally are not into WWII still might appreciate seeing the pics and so I posted here as well.Most of the time I keep it only in the Gallery for just the reasons you stated.I hope it\'s not too much of an inconveience. :whistling: The good thing is,I\'m only doing this with two threads.AWI and this one. :lol:

@To anyone it may concern

Picture #2 has been removed and replaced with another photo.Those that wish to see the right side of the regiment should look into FOW Gallery underneath the same heading of The Third Reich\'s Dark Knights.I\'m sorry if this is an inconvience for some,but I wish to avoid conflict on this thread.I hope this then meets the standard of any offended parties.I\'m a wargamer and I wish to leave it there.

Here is my latest installment of NB 41\'s.I added more crew in German Fieldgray unforms to the mix of camo to show they are in a more supporting role then actual frontline troops.I again took some liberities with uniforms to reflect the individual nature of these troops.I have some more pics under the same title in the FOW web page if you want some different angles.I hope some of you like this new installement. :) If you see a smoke trail in the sky,then jump for cover! :evilgrin:

Ty! :)

The bricks are foamboard and stenciled in by hand.I used a black undercoat,but I\'m sure your aware that you should not use a spray can to undercoat foamboard,because it will melt and instead use water soluable paint straight from a jar(i.e. Chaos Black).After the black undercoat it\'s a matter of dry brushing first Citadel Red Gore,then Blood Red,and finally Fiery Orange as the final highlight.As a matter of fact all models were Vallejo colors and the base was Citadel colors.Good luck on your brickwork and I hope this helped. :D

Hello Everyone,

This is my latest edition for this thread.This is my first attempt at painting vechicles.They are 3 Sd Kfz 251\'s and 1 Sd Kfz 250/9 that was sent on accident,that I then decided to use as my command track as it stands out from the others. ;)
 I Like my vechicles dirty and worn,but not muddy at 15mm,because I don\'t think it turns out  at this size very well.It was a real challenge painting them,because it\'s very different from what I normally do.I block painted them and did some controled dry brushing, black lining,and a very little bit of ink.
I decided on an ambush camo scheme that I have always found to be very interesting. :toocool:
I experimented with lighting,so please excuse the different shades. :rolleyes: Perhaps, if you have time you could tell me which pics looked the best and any pointers. :D  

As a note I added a few brighter pics to the Nabelwerfers and HQ + spotter team for those who wanted a brighter pic. :)

Well Folks,here are my armoured transports,I hope you like them. :)

It\'s been a long time since I updated this thread,but here are a few new additions to my Panzerkompanie.I used a dry brush and blend technique for the vehicles.I added quite a bit of battle damage to give them a real veteran look.

First up a Sd Kfz 9 Recovery vehicle and a Kfz 15 Field car.They are support and so I left off battle damage unlike the rest.

(http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/khraid/2nd%20Waffen%20SS%20Das%20Reich/P1040954.jpg)

Next up are a couple of Sd Kfz 7/1 armored anti air that is a must for any German PanzerKompanie unless of course you want some P-40 mustags turning your Panzercompanie into scrap metal!

(http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/khraid/2nd%20Waffen%20SS%20Das%20Reich/P1040956.jpg)

(http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/khraid/2nd%20Waffen%20SS%20Das%20Reich/P1040959.jpg)

Lastly are some Panzer IV\'s the work horses of the the German Panzer forces.The shurzen skirts really bring these tanks to life and offer some nice conversion chances.These tanks are overall probably the best(in game terms) as the are cheap and can defeat most allied armor on the field.

Next addition to my Panzerkompanie will be the true best tanks of the war............Panthers! :sm_pirate_devil: sm_party_joint

Cheers
Christopher

P.S.I\'ve had these finished for a little while already,I was just not finding the time to post.Well,that\'s my excuse anyways! :sm_pirate_lol:

Change your position fast after fireing because there are some katyushas to answer... :D

The miniatures look really nice. I´m looking forward to see the Sd.Kfz. 171.
Keep the superb work coming.
