They were a painted with a mix of Vallejo, Anita's Acrylics and Games Workshop left overs, a product range I am running down and moving away from. From the many different painting guides and resources I finally managed to arrive at a scheme that I thought worked and persisted with it through the figures for the platoon for a consistent look. I found painting plastics more subtle than painting metals, we'll have to see how it pans out for the rest of the company. I do seem to have a lot of plastic Germans lined up.
A slightly better picture, with the macro (close focus) enabled this time :)
The plan now is to expand this platoon up to a Cross Fire company sized OoB, with the eyes on the prise of a long, long term goal of a battalion in 2010. However with even just this one platoon painted I have enough for that Normandy 1944 scenario I a framing in my mind.
Inspiration for these Revell Germans comes from another blog the Miniature Zone

Looking good, Geordie,
Following your advice I bought some of these grenadiers myself along with some British infantry. I notice you have based them individually, out of interest, mate,how do you use them for CF as I have always followed the squad based-approach?
Regards,
Monty
Good question as I potentially I have some re-basing to do if my Theory falls flat in Practice.
Three singles should touch to make a squad. Two for a CC, one for a PC. I have "my own area" problems that some figures are based on larger circles than other. However I am hoping to use a large playing area.
I also wanted to have these figures for use with "Hell by Daylight" too. Worse case and I may have to paint more figures and base them differently ;)
I also have a cunning plan which involves poker large chips for recoding the status of squads :)
