Jud's Death Korps of Krieg (Resurrected)


The Pounder

Recommended Posts

Hey guys and gals,
I fell on some hard times around the beginning of the year and had to sell my
beloved Krieg.
Things are picking up again so I thought I'd resurrect my Krieg project.
I'm planning on building it around the Deathrider CAD from the Vraks book.
With that in mind I've built a standard bearer for my Deathrider command squad.
I've changed the colour scheme to black great coats and green armour.
Thanks for reading and here's the pics:

Not sure when I'll be adding more models as I'm getting my Ultramarines ready for an Apocalypse game in June.

Please let me know if you think the colour scheme works.

Welcome back Jud, your Kriegers look just as good thumbsup.gif The banner in particular, very nice choice of colours smile.png

Thanks WarriorFish, it's great to work on some Krieg again!

Looks great I'm always a fan of alternative colour schemes

What blue is the flag?

Glad to see you're getting back on your feet and into hobby again

Cheers duz the flag is a blue I mixed myself. It was Alaitoc blue with a bit of space wolves grey.

I have to chime in with my two pennies worth too - that flag is amazing! I also love the battle damage to the armour too. Great stuff! smile.png

Glad you like it Arkaniss. I was worried I'd over done it!

Finally got round to adding another model to the Krieg.
I've made my Deathrider Officer, Marius Konstantin reborn.
I've used some bitz I had for my Ultramarines to try
and make him look the part.
I must admit I prefer kit bashes over full on conversions
(Coz I'm too scared to start hacking things up!)
I'm really enjoying working on the Krieg again, I think
they suit my painting style better than the Ultramarines.
Next up will be either more Deathriders or some Engineers.

OK gents.
Here's a quick question that may have a complex
answer.
What are the best antitank options for guard?
I'm rebuilding my Krieg force and will go down
the tank approach rather than artillery.
As it is a Krieg list I can include any Russ variant
and the Chimera chassis melta tank (can't think
of the name)
So what do you experts think?

Best is always a relative term, but for long range you can't beat the Vanquisher with a lascannon easily. Short of Lords of War the Demolisher hits hard albeit at short range, you can usually be sure of a penetration and some damage. At short range BS4 melta striking out from Chimeras is always good.

 

Do you mean the Devildog tank? That is pretty good for zipping up and slagging high value targets, but it could do with being a bit cheaper. It's more of a big game hunter.

Thanks, Devildog, that's it. I'm taking a number of Engineer squads

so I can give them Meltas. I quite like the idea of a Demolisher.

I'm planning on getting a Macharius Vanquisher as my LoW so

that should help.

If you're going Krieg, don't they have access to veteran tanks or anything with BS4. If so, vanquishers improve by a lot with even that slight help.

Thanks for the reply, sadly I don't think Krieg armies can take veteran tanks.

Though I think the Vanquishers have coaxial autocannon, doesn't that improve

accuracy?

Thanks CyderPirate.

They can but I'm going to use the Siege of Vraks book.

The army will be using the options given in the Deathrider CAD.

I'm going all out for cavalry this time.

If I remember properly you get 6 Fast Attack slots, 2 slots must be Deathrider platoons

so a few choices could be Devil Dogs. 

Should be fun to play and play against, plus horses in space!!

Got the sergeant of my Engineers squad done.
At this point I'm thinking that I want a couple
of squads of these guys with Hades Breaching Drills.
They make for a good distraction unit while the
Deathriders advance.

Here is my first minimum sized squad of Engineers,
I'm loving working on the Krieg again.
At this stage I'm just buying stuff I want to paint,
hopefully when the dust settles I'll have an effective
army!

Progress!
Finished my third Deathrider (only about 30 to go!)
he'll be added to the command squad.
Got 5 more coming through the post so should keep
me out of trouble for a bit!
