I wanted to make some Shoota Boyz in a truk and make sure they were unique enough I could tell them from the rest of the Horde once deployed.
I have lots of 1/35th left over bits including a bag of German helmets and gear like canteens and ammo pouches. I have glued these on Ogryns and such before and tried it with an ork and after trimming the ears a bit, it looked fine.
(I want to say at this point I have NO sympathy for Nazis nor do I wish to glorify them in any way. I got this idea while watching them being gunned down in "Inglorious Basterds". I do not think recreating a specific army look means you agree with the army's political leanings. I have Praetorian 'umies and do not condone the Colonial practices of the 19th century United Kingdom either! And My Attillan rough riders do NOT mean I think the raping and pillaging ways of Genghis Khan were politically correct either!)
Soon I had built up 11 with a Big Shootah. For the Nob I wanted something that would stand out and still fit into the style. I used green stuff to build up a uniform, and took the cap off of a toy plastic German soldier. (I now found some cool resin heads with the caps already on- DOH!)
I had some German Vallejo paint left over from a commission doing WWII Germans for FOW for a customer. The helmet decals are hand painted and represent a lightning bolt and an white slash.
