I'd be happy with an early war Demag to start-or a Sdkz 250-but that's just me.

I like the way the assistant gunner has the full camo set (pants and smock) while the gunner has the camo smock, but grey/olive pants.

Hi Noah ,
I agree 100% but this is nothing new for the German Soldier its using the best available option I guess . Here is a Picture I scanned to share of my Great Onkel Lothar and his crew using a Maschinengewehr 08 during WWI in an Anti Aircraft capacity {eek3}:wink2: That must have hurt those things are no joke and very heavy over 69kg thats over 150 pounds {sm2} ....don't worry friends I'm told he was a terrible shot .....Regards Gebhard
Does anyone else agree with me on this point?

Hi Daruss ,
I see dorky looking people everyday on the street not everyone has a perfectly proportioned face :wink2: , I guess even the Waffen SS was not immune from this ^&grin . That being said I do think First Legions WWII figures sometime suffer from a bad face sculpt here and there , I'm hoping they are working on making this a thing of the past as it does detract from what are otherwise the best looking WWII figures I have ever seen .. I'm gonna start with these two guys when they release this line who IMO are without a doubt the best looking Waffen SS figures I have ever seen at any price that Camo is spot on just incredible for a factory Painter .

Hi Guys ,
Just thought I'd post the two sneek peak pictures of the upcoming Waffen SS figures from First Legion just incase anyone had not seem them yet and was wondering what we were talking about . Regards Gebhard
Looks like some very nicely done figures.

I like that ''dorky faces''!! over here we say hit with an ugly stick but, its a similar comparison. I have to say that I have voiced my concerns about the facial features on the WWII figures only before but, these are a huge improvement and, the facial issues mentioned are not ones that are making me think these are not buyable. I am anxiously awaiting these I think they look very good. I like SS camo patterns and, look forward to seeing more varied ones as this range of troops expands

I agree completely Geb...I have the same game plan to start we the MG Waffen pair....they seem to be the best of the group so far....The Camo looks excellent...I have not seen better.

Hi Gebs,
no doubt these SS are some of the best Waffen units I have ever seen, I don't know if the high end Russian sculptors design SS units but they would be hard pressed to compete with the detail in the paintings of these First legion sets, with the U.S. Paras on board now and hopefully some more SS sets to come later on comes great choices for different diorama settings for both of these new ranges...Sammy
I only waffen SS figure that looks bad is figure guy holding the grenade. I hope that can be fixed before it goes into production. The faces on the other ones are acceptable..

Mike, I am right with you. Would love to see a Sd Kfz 250 or Sd Kfz 10 (especially with a Flak 38 mounted on the back!) Especially in panzer gray to go with the Stalingrad line.
