Ostheer sooner then we think?
« on: May 13, 2010, 03:40:35 PM »
Take a wee gander at WartyX's avatar. Looks like a variant of the Volksgrenadier icon. An icon for the Ostheer maybe...? Methinks something big is coming...

maybe...but it might also be a concept which just he played around with in his spare time. I don't think that the devs would really add anything too similar to WH's Volks in the OH release :P

You think they are mere Volksgrenadiers? What an insult! I think you are looking at the wrong end of the unit spectrum.

I think it is the cap instead of helmet what mislead those boys - my guess, it is a Gebirgsjäger with rope coiled around his shoulder :D

Depends on what you think, it may be sooner then you, it may be later then you think. And I cannot say which one, because my mind-reading skills are still in development.

Yeah I thought it was because of the cap too, but I wasn't really betting on them being Volks since the devs don't like copy-pasting. :P it might be a Gebirgsjäger, Brandenburger or even an Einsatzkommando(!) lol. No one knows for sure  8):o whatever it is, I'll just keep my fingers crossed  ;)

Well, for me WartyX's icon is a sniper/sharpshooter and rizz one looks like pioneer. We should do a gamble :P about this and the winner gets!!!! a ban for smartass ;).

One of those guesses wasn't even close. The other was almost there.

Well, I think that most important thingin WartyX's icon are those binoculars ( or whatever it is) on the hat-  IMO that suggest some kind of motorised infantry, or engenieering troops.
Rizz's avatar has freakin' shadow on face added to black or dark helmet so I think he is one of this dirty SS guys ( that's not offence Rizz).
