Feral Worlder WIP update.



So, here's a representative group of my Feral worlders that I've been working on. These are a real mish-mash of stuff, but mainly as follows: Perry Mahdists bodies and arms, Westwind Weird War 2 German gas mask heads, Warlord WW2 German equipment, Rogue Trader/Necromunda era weapons and with a few Vic minis bits for the officers. 


As you can see, I've got quite a few of the buggers to paint, which leads me on to a question: How would you guys suggest I paint 'em? I'm probably going to go with an African skin tone, to match the Ferals I've done already (Who I can now use as scouts.)

As there are 40 of them to paint up, I need ideas for a colour scheme that would look impressive, but be fairly quick to do. I toyed with the idea of SS oakleaf camo, as they're all wearing baggy smock-like clothing (and it would match the German kit), but that might be a bit too busy for me to do a: quickly, and b: well, so I'm appealing to the hive-mind.

Any thoughts?
