Hi, Recognizing that I'm opening a can of worms here, I'm looking for people's recommendations for 15mm DAK infantry / models. What I'm really hoping for is that there's something out there like Xyston for ancients, or AB for Napoleonics – a general consensus on the "best" models that most people agree are just enjoyable to paint. Anything like that for DAK? FMB |

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is DAK? |

WW2 Afrika Korps. I've always liked painting the Skytrex/Old Glory figs. |

My vote goes to skytrex/old glory. Lots of different poses and plenty of character. Battlefront /FOW Afrika korps are nice figures but limited on the poses. The two ranges can mix size wise. |

I actually prefer the Battlefront figures to Skytrex and Peter Pig, so FoW would be my recommendation. And in case anyone is wondering, I'm not a fanboy and use Battlefront's figures (including loads of Afrikakorps) for other rules sets. |

Battlefront/ flames of war and they have books as well |

Battlefront's DAK are among their better ranges, but I have to agree with the Skytrex / Old Glory recommendation here. (In general Peter Pig are actually my go-to range, and I find them easiest to paint, but the Old Glory sculptor was having a damned fine week when he did their DAK figures….) link |

Definitely Skytrex/Old Glory. Apparently forged in battle are bringing some out soonish. I am pretty sure the owner of Forged in Battle did all the Old Glory DAK sculpting back in the day. |

Battlefront has a 33% discount on stock at the moment see their "tanksgiving ad above. Their books are good gives you enough info to put together an army. Also has painting guides, history etc |

Battlefront, especially as they have fairly accurate platoon packs in blisters. |

My DAK are all Peter Pig, make of that what you will. |

The Skytrex ones are lovely sculpts. |
