Wargames Atlantic Great War German Infantry - Completed & Based

After the Minwax stain was dried, some highlights were added to the cloth folds, as well as faces. A very nice project with a simply designed uniform with little equipment (no back packs, etc.).

30 figures with a lot of head and arm combinations/options. A great plastic set, IMO.
The bases are 25mm rounds from Litko; some with Army Painter "barbed wire" attached.
The squad (or half squad) above is the only one with gas masks on.
The remaining figures will be in either two 12-man squads or four 6-man half squads.
Again, the pickelhaube was likely not seen on the battlefield in the last years of the war, but I had to include a couple as they look too cool to be left out.

This set was a nice change of pace from ECW, and quite enjoyable to work on. Looking forward to the release of Wargames Atlantic's French set. Until then, I may have to acquire an FT-17 and a British Mark IV (captured). Thanks for stopping by and checking out the blog. Wishing you all the best this holiday season.

      Also, you probably can conver pickelhelm guy to the officer in a field uniform. That will be reasonable for the late war period, I suppose.

    Man those are nice. I think Atlantic is having success which should translate into more projects. I picked up their Afghan set to do Victorian era. They are pretty nice.

    Cheers

    Dean, they look very much alive in your paint job. When I saw plastic models for the first time, they did not make a positive impression on me

    Very nicely done! Love me some well painted WW1 figures. Personally I prefer Great War Miniatures but these don’t look half bad especially when painted to such a standard. As in regards to the Pickelhaube, it was still widely used on the Eastern Front as the Western Front was, for obvious reasons, prioritized.

      Thanks a lot, Nick. There's a comparison shot of these and Great War - they look like a decent match. In fact, I plan on picking up some MG teams from Great War or maybe Brigade Games. Kindest regards, Dean

    Hi Dean, You really have done an awesome job on these. It's great to see the finished troops. They are magnificent! Great brushwork on these rather nice figures. I shall have to check this company out as I have not got any of their figures yet. There is plenty on them to admire. Lots of grenades too which is most suitable for German troops of this period. Your basing is superb too!
    Best wishes,
    Jason
