Looks bloody good mate, nice to see summat different from all the SS reskins and that.

This is definately one of the best Axis player packs along with Devin's trenchcoats and triggers gebrigsjager.

Very cool idea with the damage skins, i'm not particularly liking these models though. Not really a fan of of tankers out of their tanks i guess =/

Looks good and a great idea and your skins are top stuff, but my only probs with the blood skins, are it nearly doubles the polycount of a player model, and only works with the headshot anim, would be better if you made it work with more anims.

Quality work man, I like it

I like the model

However, one small note: The icon that you have is for the SS Division Totenkopf, aka "Death's Head." Das Reich's icon looks like an N with a line through the middle.

*edit

This here is the proper Das Reich symbol

And this is the Totenkpf

These took me 20 seconds to find on Google.

Awesome K-43 guy.

I'm gonna try this pack out myself and see how I feel about the rest of them models.


:update: I've tried them out now, and I like the skins a lot...there's two things I'd like to get changed though.

The MG looks ridiculous in my opinion...don't like that camo.

2. Skip the camouflaged pants for the sniper.

perhaps that should only be one thing...the camuoflage should be gone.


So I'd like to ask you if it's possible that you'd replace the camo wearing soldiers to plain black as the rest of them...is it?

From http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/3125/kgc/waffen-ss/history.html:

In 1740 a right facing jawless deaths head with the skull in the forefront and the bones in the rear adorned the funeral drapings of Prussian king Frederick William I. To further his memory the Lieb-Hussaren Regiments 1 and 2 were formed as royal bodyguards the following year. Black was the color of their uniform and they wore a Totenkopf on their busbies. Brunswick followed with the new tradition when the symbol was adopted by its Hussar Regiment 17 and third battalion of Infantry Regiment 92. However the Brunswick Totenkopf differed slightly in that the skull was facing forwards and raised above the crossed bones. During World War 1 the deaths head was chosen by elite German army units, in cluding the storm troops, flame-throwers, and panzer battalions. After the war a few Freikorps painted Totenkopfs on their helmets and vehicles. Because of this it also became a symbol of traditionalism, anti-liberalism, and anti-Bolshevism.
So it makes sense that Stosstrupp Adolf Hitler adopted the deaths head as their sign in 1923. The SS descending from the Stosstrupp adopted the Prussian style jawless Totenkopf for headgear until 1934. In that year the army’s new panzer units also adopted [I've since been told that it was worn on their collars, which I've now seen taking a closer look.] the Prussian style. Thereupon the SS developed its own grinning version until the end in 1945. It should also be noted that the Prussian style was used by the army’s 5th cavalry regiment, and the Brunswick version by the 17th infantry regiment.

I do believe that the Deaths head symbol was used as a general symbol for the ss and panzer divisions. I have seen many pictures of ss personel wearing the symbol that weren't in the Totenkopf Division. In fact, the facist branch of the Italian also adopted deaths heads in various styles, including knifes and roses in their teeth.

Also, about the camo, it looks great in hlmv, but in game it does look a little odd, perhaps a different color scheme or pattern would help. My personal favorite is autum pea-dot, but hey, that's just me.

What ever floats your boat I guess. ;)

Here's (http://340031389462-0001.bei.t-online.de/panzerblack.zip) an all black version of the skins.
BtW, I didn't just pull the camo out of my a**, I used this (http://www.dragonmodelsltd.com/html/70222_uniform_page1.html) as a reference.
