Forces on the Table - German Speed Painting

In a continuation of the Force on the Table, we now deal with Germans.  These Germans are basic Heer, mainly early to mid war, without the Zeltbahn make-your-tent-into-a-poncho.  So this would work on German Blitzkrieg or Late War German plastics, but you could use the technique on the grenadier for the M40 Tunic and Trousers.

First you start out with the German NCO with MP40 primed Black

I paint the cloth parts of the uniform with Citadel's Mechanicus Standard Grey, the skin with lite Mocha.  The gun, boots,and straps on the uniform are black.  The Gaiters are khaki.

The entire model sans the gun and skin is not hit with Athonian Camoshade wash. and the skin is hit with Rhieklander Fleshshade.

Using a light Green color, I hit the raised areas and the parts of the model that will get hit by light.  The Gaiters I re-hit with spots of highlighted Khaki, and the boots with a lighter grey color.

Once again, I hit the entire model with a 50/50 mix of Athonian Camoshade and water.  The boots with a 50/50 with Nuln Oil and water.

The rest of the model, I hit the gun with steel color and wash with full strength Nuln Oil.  The "T" on the hat and the shoulders are painted white.  After this dries, put a stripe of black down the middle of the white on the shoulders.  The shovel on the back was painted with a brown handle, the food bag is green with black wash.  The water bottle, brown on the left and right  and the blanket a light brown with black straps and washed with a Brown Wash.
