Seemingly they're ace, mate. And there is a lot of scope for converting and using odd stuff too.

yup. There are also hardly any mould lines - all very small ones. Only thing is the helmets are...quite big.

From this point on, I'm out of the discussion, I don't want it to get out of hand, and I don't want to get caught up like this again.

Erm at what point did anyone start glorifying the nazis and start planning the fourth reich?
Fact is the nazis did some nasty nasty things, however WWWII in no ways glorifies or praises their actions. Its just a fun game based around the occult/sci fi stuff they apparantly got up to, as per bloodrayne, the outpost, RTCW and so on. id be much more worried about modern neo nazis in easter eurpose who really believe that [Not on the floor please] than a few sound minded guys on a forum who paint some funky ww2 themed models from both sides

Gary: Play soviets! Nobody does, but they're cool!

Alex: Yeah, not much choice when you're being invaded.

Saying that, the argument seems to have been won so lets just try and spread the awesomness of WWW2.

My grandparents were all too young to fight in WW2, however I had a Great Grandfather who was a Lewis gunner in WW1.

Old Guard, my gramps had a similar sort of tour. Dunkirk, Wales, Africa and Italy. Saying that, he was a trucker in the RLC so was at Dunkirk six weeks before it was The Dunkirk. They landed, took one look and then went home again.

You sort of devalue your argument from the outset by attempting to qualify or quantify a 'Nazi'. Given that Nazi ideology was prevalent in Germany from around 1880 with the Pan-German league and to be honest the de-nazification effort in Germany after 1945 never weeded out every facet of the behaviour, small enclaves of like minded individuals (survivalists - a bit like those guys in your country who camp out in a log cabin with an M16) were still scattered through Germany and there is still a high proportion of radicals in Europe and Eastern Europe.

In fact, a historian and sociologist by the name of Suzanne Urban said:

“Together with "traditional" anti-Semitism, Germany has seen a growth of leftist anti-Semitism along with anti-imperialist, antiglobalization, and anti-Zionist attitudes, all reinforcing the new German claim of having been victims in WWII”.

So basically, you could be saying don't model a German between 1880 and now. To be honest I'd agree, I haven't got enough green stuff to model Lukas' face.

Both my grandad, great grandad missed out on their relevant war because of the land army.
So instead of digging trenches and getting shot at... they where digging spuds and getting shot at.

Well thanks to HMD, I'm looking in my figures collection to find something suitable. I just think it is cool, some "new" science fiction...

Another question: Should we paint knights like crusaders? Or like the african colonist?
