C&C Welcome. The Allies should be done this week too ^_^

Awesome guy! These look really great. I like the camouflage and the walkers look really a lot. The only things I don“t like that much are the "Balkenkreuze" at the gunshields... they look too new in my opinion.

The "Balkenkreuze" is the German Iron Cross thing?

I guess I might weather them a bit. So far everything has the decals brand new, wanted them to look flashy ^_^ I'll probably hit them with pigments when I get a mud set in.

Yep, "Balkenkreuz" is Iron Cross... somehow... in fact the "Iron Cross" in German is the "Eiserne Kreuz" and it normaly means the medal and looks like the one on your stat-cards.

I think some discreet weathering should work. Maybe some scratches or stuff like that?

I love your infantry! Very interesting color scheme! An easy trick to blending your decals in are very thin washes. I wish the rest of my paints and stuff that I ordered would get here so I can get started on my troops too!

Those are very nice, love the 'fall' colors on the camo uniforms. I didnt think i liked the idea of 'panzer grey' walkers as these things are supposed to be (very) 'late war' but they look great. In fact i now think mine look too busy. As for the weathering on the crosses I would recomend just useing the base color of grey and stippling it onto the edges, then use a lighter grey in the center of each scratch/chip. that should give it a look of gentle wear.

the paint jobs look great. i prefer the axis to the allies but both are great.
