Hell on the Eastern Front


In this case. literaly, Hell on the Eastern Front. West Wind wierd WWII German 28 mm zombie squad. You knew the Nazis were evil.......well........

I have a few more to paint, to make up two sections with officers.

Wait 'till Capn Mainwearing sees this lot.

I am considereing setting my next Commission novel on the frozen hell of the Moscow region of the Eastern Front in 1941.

My writing and wargaming tend to bleed into each other - creatively speaking, of course.


PS, I used the Army Painter strong dip on these figures, like my WF zombies, and then too the sheen off with Vallejo matt spray. One huge advantage of a varnish drip is that it protects the paint with a really hard finish. I find chipping a real headache on metal figures as i use my models for wargaming. Delicate artwork is fine on display models, but......

    Great models, if gruesome. You've got a very good ethereal feel with that scheme.

    They are a little less 'blue' in real life but Armypainter dip is great for zombies etc.

    Its a shame that the WF figures will be /were so hard to come by as they would have made great Wierd WWII figures, not just the two types of gas masks but all the strange lumpy heads and octopus boy mutants too Glad I got mine when I did still there might be a few boxes floating about

    Dear Shaun
    I suspect there will be quite a bit of WF around for a while but whether any more will be made....

    Dear Geek
    Their deadness is definitely their defining quality.

    Dear Igi
    I like Nazi UFOs as well, particularly from their base on the moon.

    I am seriously thinking of setting my next Commission fantasy on the Eastern Front.

    Dear John

    You should check out the Iron Sky movie. It is being made, and I belive it will be great. It covers the return of the nazis from the Moonbase in 2018!

    I think i will order your next piece.
