I think there is a market for painting weird brand models. Plenty of people doing GW but there are so many independent model makers out there to explore! A series of Counts-As videos would definitely peak my attention.

I doubt hardly anyone plays in a games workshop store, the one we have only has one four by four demo table. They're not the gamer hub they were in the nighties. So why not, those third party guys look cracking. Also twenty quid for two ancient sprues? Come on GW.

If you go this route paint them as Steel Legion and not as Death Korps. Then the paint scheme will match the figure design. If you want Death Korps you need 28mm WW1 German models

Will be picking up a few boxes to do Armageddon Steel Legion. Both the RaumJaeger and the Steel Legion are visually based on Fallschirmjaeger. If you wanted to do Krieg, the Grognards with some headswaps would be much closer, as they have the greatcoats. Either way, it's SO much cheaper buying these than buying Cadians from GW. Cadians are $7.70 per model here in Australia, Atlantic's products are about $2 per model.

@Conan the barbarian DKK are based off German infantry from WW1, have a passing resemblance to WW2 German infantry in greatcoats. Steel legion look like Fallschirmjaeger from WW2. The trimmed edges to the Stahlhelm, and the jackets they wear are a dead giveaway.

I've never been sorely disappointed with anything I've ever got from Wargames Atlantic. Their lizardmen had limited body types (four, I think), which made it difficult to make them not look like they're linedancing. And they only had two arms holding firearms, a musket and a kalashnikov. With a bit of patience, imagination, plastic cement, and miliput I got them kitted out with some surplus imperial guard parts. The stormtroopers, though, were much better, with separate legs and torsos, plus a lot of head and weapon options. The comscripts box was in-between, much better than the lizardmen, not quite as good as the stormtroopers. I have a box of these guys on order, but they are coming with the new Stargrave supplement (which is still on preorder). I plan on painting them in a drab scheme to run as generic bad guys in sci-fi rpgs. I generally like Wargames Atlantic for the role they fill in the hobby. They do yeoman's work at a very fair price. Their quality is improving with every release, and I am really looking forward to their take on the Mordians come May, oh, and their horse kit, too, for your sci-fi cavalry.

Yeah can't go wrong with the price, 24 models (platoon) for £25, they look good and i'm sure you can buy some official 40k weapons from flea-bay to stick on them to make them look the part. Just a shame I've already got two platoons of mechanised infantry, could maybe make them a penal legion, PDF or conscripts. I wish GW prices were like this now-days, they're double the price if not more.

It's always good to hear of cheaper ways to play the game, as I just can't afford to shell out for official models. Since I'm also a total novice, could you tell me how these models could fit into a kill team? Would I need separate models for scions or could these be converted?
