- Blitz Germans! Here's how I painted them!
These are the plastic Warlord/Italeri models, but you could apply the techniques I've used in this video on pretty much any figure. Plastic or metal.
I'm pretty happy with how these figures turned out. Now I don't have to have battles with headless grey Germans! Or at least fewer of them... I only did 12 models. Probably not enough for a full bolt action army
I didn't mention it, but I painted a half track crew figure at the same time as these guys, which is a nice way to ensure your vehicle crews are consistent with your infantry.
The paints I used were:
Vallejo:
Model Color:
70.830 - German Field Grey WWII
70.976 - Buff
70.836 - London Grey
70.979 - German Camo Dark Green
70.985 - Hull Red
70.821 - German Camo Beige WWIII
70.863 - Gunmetal Grey
70.875 - Beige Brown
70.862 - Black Grey
70.876 - Brown Sand
70.847 - Dark Sand
Model Air:
71.001 - White
71.057 - Black
71.007 - Camo Olive Green
Game Air:
72.757 - Bright Bronze
72.755 - Polished Gold
Army Painter:
WP1136 - Dark Tone
WP1135 - Strong Tone
WP1134 - Soft Tone
WP1139 - Blue Tone
AK interactive:
AK3012 - Light Flesh
AK3013 - Highlight Flesh
AK3073 - Red Brown Leather
Secret Weapon:
W024 - Drying Blood
W005 - Flesh Wash

Herbert, that "bedroll" is called a zeltbahn. It's a type of small personal tent that was often used as a camouflage poncho. It's was typically printed in the famous German pea-dot pattern.
Interesting. I'm sure I've seen them with the tent quarter worn as a poncho thing. I'm pretty sure the later war germans I have are wearing them. Didn't realise they rolled it up and carried it like that though.
Early war zeltbahns would be in the splinter pattern camo. Peadot was a late war camo pattern.
Not quite correct. Wehrmacht soldiers would always use a Zeltbahn in splinter camo. From the first day of the war to the last this was a standard issue item to a) create tents and b) guard the soldier from rainy weather when worn as a poncho. Around late 43 the so-called "swamp pattern" appeared, but it never replaced the splinter pattern entirely. This item was used throughout the enitre war.
It was not really comfy to wear, so most soldiers did not use it for camo-purposes alone if there was no specific order to do so.
The Waffen-SS had their own camo patterns (copyright-fights behind the scenes happened between different german army branches at the time actually) and the SS-Zeltbahn was always in oakleaf with one side with spring/green and the other side in autumn/orange. There was no official pea-dot version of it.
Great looking figures! Nice job!
Great paint brush, very impressive!
Helpful. I like how you explain the process.
Love the painting videos! The more I watch your videos the more I am convinced I need an airbrush to help with large batches of minis.
As much as I don't like telling people what to buy... it really is a good time saving purchase.
Wonderful video! I truly enjoyed watching you paint these figures especially because I’m going to get them in the mail in a few days. I might try painting the pants the same color as the torso though.. hmmm not sure 😄
You've probably got them by now. I hope you enjoy them. Feel free to share in the discord and such if you want!
looking great, i usually fined with my warhammer that 5 infantry figures tends to be the optimum when it comes to batch painting.
I need to do a lot more steps when I paint.
Especially the highlights and the washes.
Very educational.
Looks fantastic! Those big bags you mentioned are bags for maps which most likely would be worn by officers.
I love your deadpan comments!!
Those look amazing :)
I liked even I'm new to warlord gaming ww2 figures
Good skills mate.
18:28 EPIC!
Thursday uploads? That’s new, from what I remember, but anyway, these look great! Wish me luck on my revell T-34/85, it’s got a lot of parts
It's a bit unusual, at least for modelling videos. It's mostly because I was too sick to get this finished for Monday. The base making video was intented to be the random mid week extra video. Also it's friday for me! hueheu.
Good luck with your T-34/85! Feel free to share pics on the discord if you want. I'd be keen to see.

Yea, I will show pictures when it’s done, I only have one year of modeling experience, but it’s turning out well so far
Nice
I like your Germanz. "Ready to defend our precious Sauerkraut factory against these tea slurping bastards!"
There's only one sauerkraut factory? That can't be!
They look great Herbert. Painting figures are not my strong point. And what? No eyeball? Lol
Très bon auto
Hey Herbert erpederp can u put a link for your discord in the description also can you make some 1:72 or 1:76 scale models as I need some tips to get better thnx
Ok forget about the discord part
Haha I was just about to say there is a link to the discord. I guess it is a fair way down the page.
I don't have any new 1/72 or 1/76 stuff on hand to make a video about, but next time I go to the hobby shop I'll almost certainly get another S-Model kit.
Early war German pants were blueish grey, earlier they started making pants in the same colour as jackets. I think the colours you chose is correct enough as colour do change with time, wear, washing and there's always difference in manufacturing batches. I just think that jacket colour is boring, sorry... :( But very nice paintjob anyway!
plz do bolt action battle report
How do you paint the machine gun belts
I'm pretty sure that's in the video.
For guns, Paint with the gun metal and then do a dark tone ink wash over it and it looks spot on.
Some people get aggressive when telling you your inaccurate painting is inaccurate?
I mean, here I am, painting Luftwaffe ground troops using The Great Escape as a reference, so I think I wouldn't be allowed to complain even if I did care
Haha It's surprising, and a bit confusing how seriously people take this kind of thing. And how personally they take it when people disagree with them. The spam/review filter catches almost all of it, which is nice.
So much highlighting.....no wonder you don’t enjoy painting infantry
Hmmmmmm...I kinda wanna get these earlier Germans...stick Russian heads on...and call them Romanian. Ok it'll kill dozens of button counters. But oh well
RIP button counters!
@@HerbertErpaderp they bring it upon themselves XD
Warning to anyone buying this Warlord Games kit! These minis are ridiculously small, and don't match other plastic minis that are far larger. This is my biggest complaint about WG. They do a great job of marketing and bringing new people into the hobby, but their miniatures are horribly inconsistent.
It's 28mm just check the scale
Nice
whell good loking minis ok me if did some the WW2 ones got kit bash the difent armys to do IGs and be fun that whay and gen hope the scale god do not kill it will that my evil plain at last will see more as you post
