Do peeps think that the new(ish) Army Painter WW2 Historical sets could be used for late WW1 German and British forces, without too many issues?
Cheers

I don't see why not. I bought the German set, admittedly for WWII and the paints were fine. The sets seem like a cash grab as out get basic colors mixed in. OK for new painters but now that the colors are available separately that's been solved

Does it make a difference if you use Mid Feldgrau or Skavenblight Dinge? Not really it's just green/gray

Plus, all vehicle paint fades.

As well as clothing colors.

Yep, I was looking at buying the necessary individual paints, so that should help keep it cheap.

Thanks for the confirmation 👍
