2. I thought their uniform had a more greenish hue to it?

3. Nice job but Inaccurate paint scheme. German uniforms were a gray-green or feldgrau. Early in the war the pants were mausgrau or mouse gray and the tunic Feldgrau. Mid to late war tunics and trousers were Feldgrau complete.

4. One of the best German tutorials I’ve seen so far

5. I don't understand why this dude is grey. Have never seen German field grey? – it's nearer green. A bit disappointing tbh 👎

6. nice

7. The colour is wrong German uniforms we're a green grey colour but more green.

8. Nice tutorial totally wrong colours IMHO, the breadbag among other things was never brown (khaki-beige and light blue for the luftwaffe).

9. Alguien sabe donde se venden estas figuras aca en la ciudad de México sí hay alguna tienda

10. Looks awesome, but hardly practical for painting a large wargaming army.

11. Could you use the same kind of colour scheme for the German grenadiers?

12. Thank you for doing this! I needed a tutorial telling me how to paint using the army painters colors!!

13. Argh…
    Watched this great tutorial and thought to myself "hey, i could follow this step by step and should end up with miniatures that actually looks decent!".
    Now, a few days later im sitting here with an army of germans that looks puked up by a dog :O

    I just dont got it in me, cant get the paint to cover areas, cant keep it to the right places and in the end everything looks like a melted set of crayons…

    Excellent tutorial and beautiful miniature but some of us just arent good enough for even the simplest of paintjobs 🙁

14. I agree that the uniform is way too grey but it could be fixed with some darker greenish glazes and washes (and some cleaning up where it has spilled). So it is not unfixable. Early war trousers were blue-grey tone before they too became feldgrau around the campaign in France.Otherwise I like the painting style in this tutorial.

15. Good job painting but German Army uniform was not gray.  Some of the Weer Germans had gray pants but that was about it.  I think a lot of people think of the Gestapo's gray uniform when they think of the germans but they were just the secret police. Also the canister on the back and the helmet should be a black green color.  Now that being said, ive played Bolt Action a lot and seen people use the German's painted gray and it looks very cool in the game. Also due to the scale of the miniatures, if you paint them the field Gray (which is actually a dark green color) they end up looking black.  So yeah, I'm going to paint some of my guys gray now too for my standard infantry.

16. did you actually dilute the paints?

17. Mixing uniform color? Like don't they have the exact color, Feldgrau?

18. When painting the army out of the box, do you go one at a time or set up an assembly line? Also, what do you mix the paint in and how far does a bottle go?

19. Outstanding work. I'm using your painting tutorials on a diorama that I'm working on. I'm having excellent results. Thank you for posting.

20. I am very new to miniature painting and I would like to ask how you thin your paint specifically for Bolt Action miniatures, any help or advice would be appreciated.

21. why have you painted the 'roll' brown it is supposed to be German summer dot camo or the autumn dot camo

22. Too much trouble. I'd gladly pay extra for pre painted. Miniature gaming would probably be MUCH bigger than it is if you didn't have to go through this.

23. they look pretty but german uniforms were not grey… just saying 😀

24. Excellent vid. Just purchased some Germans so will try your method. Thank you 🙂

25. How does the wolf grey called in citadel?
