War and Empire: Persian Kardakes test

A crappy picture of a base of Late Achaemenid Kardakes.

It will take time to paint these guys up, flowery pants and a whole bunch of colors and patterns.

Space Hulk terminators almost done

I am getting near the end of the Space Hulk terminators now, almost there for the first game!
While junior was sleeping I was able to paint the eyes and some more highlights.

What I have left now is the bare heads, bases, the Tyranid corpse. The librarian will need some more attention as I have painted him separately. I have also ordered some 40 mm bases and I will magnetize them so I can use them for both the Space Hulk game and for my Flesh Tearers.
When I'm done with them I will post some more pictures of both the marines and the Tyranids.

Gebirgsjäger research - Helmets and camo

As I want to try to depict my little lead dudes pretty close to history I like to do some research.
When it comes to the Gebirgsjägers, I found them a bit dull and repetetive albeit very nicely sculpted with everyone wearing a field cap.

Most wide spread pictures of Heer-GJ shows them in their Bergmütze, but did they use it in combat too?
