As mentioned previously, I had picked up a box of Wargames Atlantic Great War Germans for use in the forthcoming Osprey Games "A War Transformed".
North Star published an article about painting World War 1 figures for A War Transformed which I found useful.
It was undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black spray. For painting a lot of them, I will probably give them a sprayed base coat of either Citadel Mechanicum Standard Grey or Army Painter Uniform Grey. For this single figure it was painted with Citadel Mechanicum Standard Grey. This was highlighted with a mix of Citadel Mechanicum Standard Grey and Army Painter Stone Golem.
The gloves and mask are Citadel Steel Legion Drab.
The rifle wood work, grenade handle and parts of the entrenching tool are Citadel Rhinox Hide.
The pouches, belt and boots are Citadel Dryad Bark.
The Bread Bag was Citadel Tarth Flesh.
The helmet was first painted Citadel Zandri Dust, then patches of Citadel Rhinox Hide and Citadel Death World Forest were added.
Metal work (rifle, bayonet and grenade head) were painted Vallejo Black Grey then dry brushed with Army Painter Stone Golem.
The lens surrounds of the gas mask were given a re coat of Vallejo Black Grey, then the lenses were first filled with Humbrol Matt White then Citadel Warpstone Glow.
Everything was given a light dry brush with Citadel Terminatus Stone.
The mask, helmet, boots, gloves, bread bag and woodwork was given a wash of Citadel Agrax Earthshade/
The photographs were taken fairly early in the morning and had a distinct bluish cast that was corrected via software, some untreated photographs are below.
