We get stuck into an awesome PVLOG where we're painting up a full army of West Germans for us to use in our games of Team Yankee.
In this first video we're talking with John to find out what his plans are.
Wow!…This looks so awesome!…Love the way You get the small details to pop out.
How come john gets all the best jobs. Lucky, lucky man
Need to get an airbrush…
I really like the wheeled AFV’s of the German army that is what the American army is missing really to make them look more interesting.
Nice. NATO tricolour is achievable with brushing and looks great. I’m working on the other 4 Leopards this weekend.
Great step by step tutorials! I would love to see this for other games as well!
You guys should change the name of the title for these tutorials, from “We Paint A Full West German Army”, to… JOHN Paints A Full West German Army! 😉
this really starting to make me venture into this game, now i know how to do effective cammo
Fantastic work John!
That’s some serious horde painting 😉
Looks great. How much total time do you think you have invested? I only get infrequent small chunks of hobby time right now.
I think this force took about 25-30 hours including drying times. Say however, you got a starter box. That would maybe take 3 days total, so long as your comfortable with an airbrush and have all the material you need at hand 🙂
Efficient and highly effective. End result looks great.
Awesome work @johnlyons!
The Team Yankee paints look rather good. The primer colour is beautiful and I was impressed how well that camouflage brown went over the dark green.
That looks like a fairly simple, yet very effective paint job. It also shows how useful an airbrush can be. (Maybe I should start saving for one.)
But what did you do to the rocket pod on the helicopter? I know you were in a hurry to finish this army, but that should have gone together a bit better.
I was largely building these kits without instructions. The heli with the wonky pods was the first one I built.
Makes you wonder what you could achieve John if u were given more time. They look great though.
Nice terrain and a fully painted army…look great.
Man, Props to you. Incredibly well done mate!
Very nice and motivating, thanks for the clips!
Great painting tutorial!
Agreed, great job guys!
Looks fantastic. Do you think its worth painting the tools on 15mm? (I’m used to 28mm, Team Yankee is my first time into 15mm)
Also, for the windows did you brush on the gloss or airbrush?
It really is a matter of taste and time. Paint what you feel comfortable doing. For the most part, the tools would have had paint on them, generally green handle with the metal in black. To to honest, the drybrush stage gives the tools enough definition for a “tabletop” standard.

Top drawer stuff Sir!
My Kampfgruppe Müller has arrived yesterday and the NATO Green spray can today.
Just waiting for some magnets now so the assembly and painting can commence!
Got some nice ideas for the infantry as well for when they come out..
Next on the shopping list will be the Marders 😎
Should come with magnets?
The new battlefront plastic kits don’t come with magnets, turret pegs instead. However they still have the space for magnets (5mm x 1mm if I remember correctly) should you wish to use them..
They look great! I really need to start using my airbrush…
What about the ground troops?
I love a good hobby vlog
Awesome! Thanks!
