So, the army challenge is upon us and I have been coerced, threatened and generally advised to enter. Last year was a spectacular failure so this year I have decided to return to something I enjoy painting - Flames of War Germans. I thought a log would be a good way to go.

First up, a word on the plastic miniatures from Battlefront - excellent. These guys have actual faces and not the amorphous blobs that they seemed to be ten years ago. The weapons have also been massively improved and I am genuinely looking forward to getting some paint on these guys.

Theatre wise its late war I am looking at, 1944 onwards. This means lots of cool smocks, field caps, camo patterns and a chance to paint each soldier as an individual; no massed rank of the same colour but a mix of different tunic patterns and colours, different camouflage. There is also a good mix of rifles, SMG's, panzerfausts and panzerschreks to give it that late war feel.

To start off with, I am painting the company HQ and one squad of Grenadiers. Only 21 figures but hopefully the individual look will make them stand out.

The new plastic Germans are great. I got all the German contents of two Open Fire! boxes, and also painted up two platoons for my LGS. Very little clean up, and as you said, the faces are great for minis that small. Looking forward to seeing this develop.

That guy on the right looks dodgy as fuck.
