15mm Death Korps of Krieg project


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, some of you may have seen my 15mm Blood Angels, these will be alies, (or visa versa) this still needs a lot of work, but the basic shape is coming together, it will be the master for a mould, this is the start of my 15mm Death korps of Krieg army, it has twin heavy bolters

on each side, but thats only for looks and will only count as one, I might put a storage bin on the rear of the turret, the figure is only for scale, and is not the figure I will use for the IG conversions, what do you think? More Picts on my blog.

Hi guys, here are my first 15mm Death Korps of Krieg conversions, i have also started on some auto cannons, for this army I will be using various WWI Germans and French, with head swaps from Peter Pig, and these Heer light troops from Trench 2114, these are almost perfect, except they only come in 5 poses, so I don't think I will get anymore, I will convert the rest of the army (which i plan on being quite large) this army will also have Armour, cavalry, artillery, Naval marines, and air support, all commits welcome, more pics on my blog.

Hi guys, a WIP veteran grenadier squad, these guys still have a bit of work to go, but they are coming along nicely, I'm thinking I will add a canister to the front of the gas mask, I wanted a squad that would stand out, so gave them bearskins to denote their elite status, can't wait to finish and paint these guys, heaps more Picts on my blog, all comments welcome.

Hi guys, this veteran Grenadier squad is ready for paint, not sure about these bases, tried a new batch of sand, it looks a little to coarse for my liking, now back to working on my rough riders, all comments welcome.

Hi guys, the first squad of my 15mm DKoK army is done, I'm really happy with how these guys turned out, I'm undecided whether I should paint any numbers/markings on the shoulder armour, the dark red regimental facing colour on the turn backs/cuffs of the great coats will be duplicated on other squads and flags, this is the pallet of colours I will use for the army, except the Naval marines I plan on doing, I will substitute the fieldgrey with blue, and will give them sailors caps, the rest of the grunts will have picklehelms, lots more pics on my blog, all comments welcome.

Hi guys, sorry about the crap pics, here are my WIP Death Riders, the original figures were Napoleonic Wurtembergers, I wanted them to have czapkas (hats) so gave them head swaps with some surplus Polish infantry, the lances without fanions will have paper fanions added, any ideas on how to paint the horses? I want them to look a little creepy and unnatural, as they are hairless bio engineered organisms.

Hi guys, theses guys are almost ready for paint, just need to add sand to the bases, I've added some detail to the bio/ mechanical mounts, the mounts will be very pale skin coloured, with purple washes, the riders will be field grey with pink facings, all comments welcome.

The first 6 Rough Riders are done, maybe a little too pink with the facings, but I think pink facings fit the slight Napoleonic feel, I think I will use pale blue/grey mounts for the next batch, more pics on my Blog, all comments welcome.

Hi guys, here is my WIP 15mm DKoK Ogryn unit, TBH I am not really sure about these guys, I'm not sure if they are to big, if their heads are to big, if the helmets work, what do you think? Persist with these, keep them as is? Change their heads to a gas mask hood more like the second fig, with no helmet? Not sure the officer with the chain sword works either, all comment appreciated.

Hi guys

These are still WIP, I have put the other Ogryns aside for the time being, and have started this new batch, using some GW plastic fantasy Orks for the basis of the conversion, I still have to some pouches, water bottles, bayonets etc, I think they are suitably ferocious looking, what do you think?

I've just looked through this thread and I have to say I think you are quite mad. :) I have enough trouble with converting and painting 28mm figures let alone 15mm figures.

 

The infantry squad and rough riders look really good :tu:

 

I'm not sure about the Ogryns though, the Orc based ones look more Ogryn like, but I'm not sure if they are maybe a bit big. If you could post a comparison pic with the regular figure next to them rather than in front it would be easier to see. You'll also need to be careful they don't end up looking too Chaosy, they are quite close to the Ogryns in the Seige of Vraks looks wise.

Hi StormDragon

 

I will take a comparison pic when they are finished.

 

Hi guys

 

Progress on these has come to a screaming halt, I have come to a decision crisis, my intension was to paint these guys in the same colours as the previous DKoK troops, fieldgrey with dark grey armour, whilst painting, I am always looking on the net for inspiration, I have noticed a couple of IG. armies/figures with light turquoise colours that looked really good, so my dilemma, should I

 

1) pull my head in and stick to the current colour, fieldgrey/dark grey.

2) give just this unit light turquoise armour to make them a, little different (I'm a little worried they won't fit in) the uniform would stay fieldgrey.

3) make light turquoise the colour for all armour in the army (re paint the finish units) the uniform would stay fieldgrey.

 

I have to also say if I were to use turquoise, I would weather the hell out of it, and make I'd really beaten up.

WIP pics of my next unit, these guys will add a little variety to the army but will be treated as normal infantry, they are my own invention, the Kriegs Marine of Krieg, (a little like they USMC) their primary roles are creating planetary bridgeheads, once the bridgehead is being exploited by the regular DKoK units, they act as light infantry, in support of the regulars, they also defend Naval facilities and ships, and conduct defensive and offensive boarding actions.

As for painting, I have 2 ideas.

1) my preferred, white sailors cap with black band, navy blue pea jacket, with white bib (the square material on the back) white pants, black boots, fieldblue armour, brown webbing.

2) or, white sailors cap with black band, fieldblue pea jacket with white bib, fieldblue pants, brown webbing and boots, dark grey armour.

The figures are Blue moon WWI Germans with Peter Pig , Navy Heads.

Hi guys

Here is my WIP HQ squad, the 2 blue figures are conversions of some spare AB French Napoleonic officer figures, the helmet on the troopers will be the standard helmets for the regular troops, I was going to have the troops in picklehelms, and bought a heap of Peter Pig heads for the conversions, only to find they were way to small, so I will convert the blue moon WWI German heads, it fits with DKoK better anyway, the officers head is an old glory French cavalry head, I will hand paint the standard, all comments welcome, more pics on my blog.

I know they're finished, but the first thing I thought when looking at the unpainted grenadier bases with that rough sand was 'the big sand grains would look awesome done up as autumn leaves'.  Probably too late now, but where you saw a potential issue, I saw a cool possibility.
