Painting the Trench Crusade Stosstruppen

 

you've met these guys before
 
 

       I reviewed these minis back in April when they were released but haven't gotten around to assembling/painting until now (which, by the way, is a rather fast turnaround time for my painting schedule which often runs to decades). Of course I struggled with assembly, not because of parts fit or lack of instructions mind you, just my endless fascination with the huge variety of poses that are possible. The vast selection of weapons was another distraction. But, in the end, they were assembled and marched off to the spray-booth for priming. I had decided early-on that they would be painted fairly closely to Great War Germans rather than the rather garish schemes posited on the box artwork. Muted bluish gray and natural leather were at the top of the list.

I'm still up in the air about blood-spatter on the bladed weapons 

they might need another pass with the black-wash 

next up will be the  Prussian Stosstruppen Warband

somewhere in The Vault I have some largish Balkankruze from WW1 tank kits, 

they would look great on the shields, dig I must
