I thought it might be useful to start some topics where we can record basic painting information for new gamers (as well as useful links). So – how do you paint Germans in 15mm?

Very carefully? (Sorry, Bill – I could resist.)
Jerzei Balowski	06 Mar 2008 7:22 a.m. PST
Er, couldn't resist, that is … if I could resist, I wouldn't have posted in the first place. Ugh, this isn't really going anywhere.

Battlefront has a pretty goos article on it here: link Resistant Rooster used to have some excellent articles on their website but those have disappeared.
