I love these new Winter Fallschirmjager models! They are great for any Winter German since every branch of the German military wore that type of parka. Pretty much any head on one of these bodies painted any shade of white, mouse gray, field gray or camo is correct! Just depends on what you want it to be!
Looks fantastic. I used Luftwaffe blue for my FJ guys, and while it is kind of bright I found that it darkens down with a coat of Sonic Tonic and looks ok. Nice one!
The figures look fantastic! This is one I will be watching again as I always wanted to paint German figures in a winter scheme. Thanks for sharing this.
Would that I could! It's a lot to plan and pay for when I don't have a lot of time for more than a day or two in Nottingham, so I won't be there this year, unfortunately. I'm hoping to make it one year at least!
So you were able to paint both the new Warlord 's sprues in less than a week, well done !👍 These new minis are perfect not only for Ardennes, but also for Eastern Front, and the paint scheme is useful also for Heer troops.
Since I subcribed, I have been using a slightly different version of marine Juice With Vallejo products. Far better than a single shade, as you recommended. Thank you a lot!
Great to hear it's been working! A little tweak here and there to suit your purpose is exactly what I hope to hear folks are doing with these tips and tricks.
We are taught to do the same thing even today with our canteens in the US Marines. Dunk the entire canteen pouch when you fill up the canteen and your water will stay cool.
Do you upload most of your videos in the order you paint your minis or is it a bit more random? You jumping from ancients to WW2 to Space Fantasy is amazing for me. I find it so hard to wrap my head around how to paint a mini that I try and stick to a certain set of them before moving on to something else
What's the name of the varnish you use, again? I'm, likely due to my bad hearing, not catching it in the video. I didn't see it in the description either, though I may just be looking wrong
In the mix? In short, if you want to make a container of it, not really: Nuln Oil in particular isn't as strong as it used to be and is a bit weedy by comparison. You'd be better to just use Agrax and thin it with some Lahmian medium instead. I go into quite a bit of detail on it in this earlier video about the mix: ua-cam.com/video/kDOkiEcNcik/v-deo.html

Whenever I'm down I watch you paint Germans and it makes me feel better. Thanks.
Having had an obsession with Where Eagles Dare - this might go close to Richard Burtons alpine uniform.
These guys look great. I really love the look of that white-washed helmet. I keep waiting for that Apothecary White 5 O'clock shadow to show up again.
40k hobbyist here. This is exactly what I'm looking for to paint my Wolf Scouts. Great video. Cheers. 👍

Planning to have one last (very big, 1500 pts!) game of Bolt Action tomorrow to bid adieu to 2nd edition before scrubbing the brain and learning 3rd!
That sonic tonic is the business! And those trousers look stunning. Nice
The figures look fantastic! This is one I will be watching again as I always wanted to paint German figures in a winter scheme. Thanks for sharing this.
I really can't wait for my guys to ship. Will definitely follow this guide to help paint them.
The power of The Tonic™. Cheers!
Spot on that buddy. One of your best yet if you don't mind me saying so. See you at Warlord Open Day if you're there! Keep up the good work.

Can't beat a 2B pencil for metalic effects.
Wish Warlord would send me some sprues....hint hint Warlord 😉. Excellent work as always and this will be a useful guide to me eventually. 👍

Looking fabulous.
Thank you! Cheers!
Just wow incredible job as always.
helmet looks great

Brilliant Troy!!
Sweat sleeves on water bottle worked really well in summertime. As the water evaporates off the felt it pulls heat our of the bottle.
That's handy to know!
Have an old British ww2 canteen that works the same way.

@@jonathanbirkeland1085 ah yeah. Is it the felt lined pouch?
fantastisch!! Great work and just in time for V3 winter battles!! It seems snow themes are trending.. ⛄️ 👍
Personally, I just wish it were winter already... I do much better in the cold!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio I hear that! I’m very much the same!
Where is the Macragge Blue? 😂
Looking awesome 👌
Somewhere at Warlord HQ!
@SonicSledgehammerStudio my Fallschrimjager offices are definitely being named Gulliman and Calgar
@@phill8178 Sepp Gulliman and Fritzl Calgar... XD

Almost always in the order they're painted. I'm not organized enough to scattershot them this much. 😅
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio in that case I am truly impressed by ypur ability to go from one colour scheme to the next in this short amount of time
There is actually a kanvas color from vallejo
Great video. Question how would you alter your skin tones to give them a blue cold look ??

Whoops! I thought I had written it in the description, but it turns out you're not missing anything, I'd just forgotten. It's Instar's Varnish+.
Thank you!
I've been needing to find a varnish to grab, now that I'm finally making paint progress.
And great stuff it is to
Wonderland sehr schön, Look so cool 😂..., see what I did there.....(I'll get my coat).
Can you substitute Agrax earthshade or nuln oil for dark tone wash?
