Painting SS

Post by ochoin »

I really don't need to add to my WW2 German collection. They're Heer painted in fieldgrey uniforms.
However, painting the Denison smock recently has given me a clearly masochistic desire to paint more camo - so the SS.
Oak Leaf, pea dot or Plane tree.
Probably only a Rapidfire company of 8 or so figures from AB:

I must be mad.

If its only a company or so then Poland is probably safe.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Good thing it's not 300mm, they are making swastikas illegal here in Aus. I think the FOW website has a painting guide.

What was I worrying about? My painting skills? Yes, I should worry about that.
As for numbers, although WW2 is by no means my favourite period, one of its chief attractions is small numbers of figures are suitable.
I have no intention of assembling the entire German army - at any ratio- to recreate the 1939 invasion.
