This has been bugging me for a while now! What is the correct colour paint to use for the distinctly different Waffen SS tunic? What annoys me is that most manufacturers such as Battlefront and Warlord have the correct browney green shown on their models yet every painting guide shows field grey which it isn't. What is everyone using? A Google search doesn't help since any guides simply show camo tutorials. |

Same Feldgrau uniform as the Heer with different insignia. |

As the war progressed, yarns became scarce so the supply command reduced the wool content and increased the amount of viscose and recycled yarn. This meant that all uniforms, both Heer and Waffen SS became increasingly brownish. I suggest you mix Vallejo English Uniform and Field Grey to get the shade that you want. |

Dear John
There will be a book on painting WW2 Germans next year. This is much more detailed with special illustrations etc.. If it is a success there may be another one. The free Artizan guides will get minor updates (citadel paints replaced by Vallejo Game colour numbers).

I've seen parts of Mick's book, it will be an excellent reference for modelling and painting the multitude of German uniforms. Highly recommend for a buy when it is published. |
