Marius' Mules (Jud's Death Korps)

[WarriorFish]

Cool, I look forward to that :tu:

[CoffeeGrunt]

Well isn't that a gorgeous collection of loyal soldiers and venerable war machines! Loving this force Jud, be sure to take pictures during the big game for us to see!

[The Pounder]

Cheers, I will take some shots of the apoc game to share.

Finally finished my Shadowsword. It's the first time I've used

decals and I'm quite please with the results!

I have some Deathriders ordered quite excited about painting

more of them, they're such beautiful models.

Here's the Shadowsword:

The transfers look good, help offset the green. A fine tank and it should perform well on the table for you - just be aware it'll have a huge target on it though! There are a lot of pipes and things on the model, have you thought about picking them out? I think it'd help round the model off nicely.

Such a beautifully painted based and themed army man!! Love the attention to detail- would love to see some shots of your apoc game!

Also- in the SS- the green and red is a nice tie in to the rest of the army and i agree with warrior fish- the pipes, wires and bundles detail painted will make this beast sing. Perhaps a block contrast on the front/ front side armor plating for unit designation?

[CoffeeGrunt]

Ooooh, that soft rust just looks so right. Weathering powders?

[The Pounder]

Thanks for the positive critique gents.

I'l pick out the cables and some of the raised areas, should add to the 

whole effect.

I'll post a couple of pics when I've improved it.

[elmo]

I hate you so much right now!

 

But in a good way ;)

[The Pounder]

Lol! I appreciate your honesty!

I agree, thanks, I've gone back over the model and added a splash of colour,

I've kept to my usual limited palette, I think it now looks finished.

Yep, it's the FW light rust.

Next up will be some Deathriders (when they arrive!)

[WarriorFish]

A huge difference now, for relatively little work - it looks great :D

[Father Mehman]

Looking great as usual, Jud! Finally, a model that doesn't need the joke about mud on the treads. Ok, fine, I'll say it anyway: you might need some more mud on top of that mud !

Your Shadowsword looks great with the extra details picked out. By the way, the red panels are very striking. If my forces ever get a Baneblade, the panels might have a splash of colour on them as well.

Keep it up !

[The Pounder]

LMAO!! You can never have too much mud!

Thanks for the comments gents.

I'm waiting for some Deathriders to arrive.

Forgeworld is taking ages at the moment.

[Koetjeboe]

Amazing looking DKoK army . I'm looking to start a Krieg army as well, I was just wondering, your Death Riders have a banner and think I saw a mounted commisar as well, did you covert there yourself or are those models no longer being sold by forgeworld? All I can find on their side is normal riders, which is a shame as I'm looking to use a Death Rider Squadron list with about 25 Riders and tons of artillery.

[edit]Woops nevermind , after some searching I have determined it looks like a Space Marine Command Banner, thats a nice blank banner that should work fine indeed[/edit]

[WarriorFish]

Welcome to the B&C Koet, we always like seeing a new army coming along especially a Krieg one so we look forward to seeing you start ;)

[The Pounder]

After about 6 months of working on my 30k Ultramarines

I've come back to my beloved Krieg.

Over the next few months I want to build a new list based 

around the Deathrider Battle Forged Formation.

To do this I will need 6 more Deathriders (not including

the 2 below), some Engineers and another Earthshaker 

Cannon.

Here's my latest Deathriders:

Next up will be the Engineers.

[morroccomole]

Those look amazing! I long for the day when normal rough riders get some buffs and new models. Until then, I'll just keep drooling over the DKoK's cavalry.

[WarriorFish]

Good to see you back in the trenches Jud, very nice colours on your riders in particular their steeds :tu:

[The Pounder]

Thanks guys it's good to be adding to my Krieg again!

There is something to be said for the spectacle of a cavalry charge!

Even if it comes to nothing there's a certain romance that I just love.

[CoffeeGrunt]

Plus the Death Riders are a bit more capable than standard Rough Riders. 

[The Pounder]

They are at that! If used against power armour or lesser saves!

Also they look great, I always field  2 squads of 8 in

every list I make!

I just love em!
