Great job on the German soldiers! I like the camo on them! The mad scientist looks wicked as well.
Not Golden Demon material, but it takes practise...keep on practising and you will be kicking some major ass soon!

Love those, the camo (especially the one on the Germans) is nice, as is the skin on the German girls, lots of depth on them. Love the mad doktor with the blood stained coat, and the combination of dress uniform and camo on the officer works well.
My advice would be to keep practicing, as Malika said, and maybe give the Americans some more colours; the details are a little hard to see cause the colours don't stand out from each other very well (but who am I to give advice, you already paint a lot better than me!)

Thanks. The Brute is simply a HeroClix Indy figure I repainted. He's Major Maxim from the Danger Girl comic series. He's sort of the arch-villian's lieutenant in the Danger Girls series. Some sort of cyborg brawler type. He works for this evil neo-nazi organization called Hammer. Anyways given the large size of the model and the 'two-fisted pose' I thought he'd fit the German Officer - Brute or Lab Rat archetype. I really love the Rocket Troopers. I bought 2 packs of them for a dual use for some Pulpy Sci Fi, either using Chaos on Cronos or Fantastic Worlds as Bucky Gordon and the Rocket Rangers. I just finished my Robot Troopers and should have them up shortly. I really love those models too.

Here's a few more to my collection. RAFM's Hank Thorton-WWII Reanactor, from their USX Modern Heroes line. This is a Shadowforge Medic that I converted to a cheesecakey combat medic. I first saw the mini and thought of an old Victory Games calendar of WWII Pinup Inspired Art that came out back in the 80s and had to add her to my collection. I snipped off the large pistol in her hand and twisted it so you couldn't see the remains of the pistol. More can be seen here at my Wierd War II Gallery.

I really dig them. I particularly like the rocket troopers, I think they are the best of the lot.

Here's my Robot Troopers. These are some old Pinnacle Products Wierd War II Wehrmacht I had. They're so-so sculpts but I got them dirt cheap.

Even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers at night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the moon is full and bright.Just in time for the new Wolfman movie. Just finished up my Darkson Designs SS Werewolf. I really love this model. It is so inspired right from the movie Dog Soldiers. A really cool movie about some British troops holed up in a cabin in the Scottish Highlands against a pack of werewolves. I pulled up some images from the movie when I started, and really liked the gore covered look. This really brought out the 'Feral' nature of the unit. So I used a mixture of crimson india ink with Future Floor Wax and some Reaper Carnage Red and added the blood to the mouth and hands. Going along with the Feral rule for the unit, which requires it to pass a check after killing a model or spend it's next action point gutting out the unfortunate victim, I dug through my bitz bin and found some parts. In my zombie bitz I found a pile of intestines from some GW WFB Zombies. I glued it onto the rock as to make it look like the werewolf just dropped it there, like a chewtoy that it was no longer interested in. Then I simply drybrushed a little bit of Pale Flesh Highlight over the gray plastic and then added lots of the blood gore inkwash I made. Then carefully added more around the rock to look like blood dripping down it. I also wanted to use a severed arm, complete with bare bones, but these were just HUGE and rivaled the werewolves own hands. So then I dug through my AE-WWII bitz and pulled an extra arm from an American GI support team. I roughed up the edges of the arm at the shoulder to make it look like the arm and shirt sleeve were ripped from the socket. I touched up the flesh and painted the hand grenade that was molded into the hand (the poor GI was just not quick enough to pull the pin.......or did he....). Then addem more gore to the shoulder socket and sprinkled it around the static grass. To finish things off I added helmet from a 1/48th scale Tamiya American GI sprue. I can't recommend enough those Tamiya plastic sprues for detail bitz.

Thanks.
Yes, Dog Soldiers may be a regular on Sci Fi Channel, but don't let that fool you. It's actually a quality production. A pretty good flick.
Yes make a run to Blockbuster. If anything, I'd consider it a keeper. Probably make a good AE scenario.
