My take on painting the 15mm German infantry for the game “Return of the Tripods”

  1. Prime in white and then base coat in Field Blue
  2. Do a heavy dry brush in Fenrisian Grey
  3. Paint the backpack, canteen holder, and knife sheaths as leather in Rhinox Hide
  4. Paint the gunstock and highlight the leather above with Mournfang Brown
  5. Paint the gas mask, pack straps, bedroll, and bread bag Sandstorm
  6. Paint the boots black Corvus Black and dot the eye glass of the gas mask
  7. Paint the hands flesh color Cadian Fleshtone and then apply a flesh wash Flesh Wash
  8. Paint the gas mask filters with Eshin Grey
  9. Paint the gun barrel with Leadbelcher and wash with Dark Tone
  10. Paint the base to match your color scheme
  11. Clean up the uniform with Field Blue and Fenrisian Grey
