The Pounder Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hey guys and gals,I fell on some hard times around the beginning of the year and had to sell mybeloved 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: Death Korps of Krieg Deathrider by Death Korps of Krieg Deathrider by Death Korps of Krieg Deathrider by Death Korps of Krieg Deathrider by Death Korps of Krieg Deathrider by Death Korps of Krieg Deathrider by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/48842912@N03/] 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkaniss Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 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! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Welcome back Jud, your Kriegers look just as good The banner in particular, very nice choice of colours 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! Glad you like it Arkaniss. I was worried I'd over done it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hey Guys.I was wondering can the Colonel take a bolt pistol?I have one lying around and think it'd look cool!I don't currently have the Siege of Vraks book so if you could help me outthat would be great.

The Pounder Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 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 tryand 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 thinkthey suit my painting style better than the Ultramarines.Next up will be either more Deathriders or some Engineers.Deathrider OfficerDeathrider OfficerDeathrider OfficerDeathrider Officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 OK gents.Here's a quick question that may have a complexanswer.What are the best antitank options for guard?I'm rebuilding my Krieg force and will go downthe tank approach rather than artillery.As it is a Krieg list I can include any Russ variantand the Chimera chassis melta tank (can't thinkof the name)So what do you experts think?

WarriorFish Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 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.

librisrouge Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderPirate Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Assault Brigade can take forward command tanks, I think they're elites. If I remember correctly, its about 35pts for a bump up to BS4 and you can use them to draw line of sight for barrage weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 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!!
