These are mainly Caesar WW2 German Panzergrenadiers (Set 2) with prone MG34 gunners from the PSC 20mm Waffen SS set. I've painted them up in telo mimetico an early Italian camo pattern, representing cloth "liberated" by the Germans after the Italian Surrender in 1943.
Base uniform colour is Russian uniform green diluted with Iraqi sand, followed by irregular islands of German camo medium brown, with Iraqi sand blebs as smaller infills in brown blebs (at least that's what I was aiming for, rather than a random set of three colour splodges - honest!).
Usual organisation, six man command team and two man Panzershrek team at front, followed by three 5 man rifle teams and three 3 man prone MG34 teams.
I thought I'd also try a monochrome image to see what the camo pattern looks like in black and white for a period flavor.
Nice work Mr C! These look great! As you know I have been painting some Italian Para's in the same scheme. Also I have been doing the reverse on some and painting Fallschirmjager smocks on the Italians.
