Ticos Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hey there ! Haven't post on this forum in quite some times... Though, during Corona Lockdown I went back to an old love of mine, my old DKoK army that has been sitting in a cabinet for a few years, with more un-painted, un-built stuff in a box stored under piles of commissions. It feels good, I'm happy, and I want to share it with you So this all started about ten years ago when young me bought his first two squads of infantry and a command squad at a french games day ( when those were still happening over here ) since, it's been growing slowly but surely up to the point when commissions took all my time and I had to put my own armies/painting project to an hold. They started with turquoise trench coat and rubble bases, to then be stripped and re-painted years later as what they are now, grey/blue and marshland bases. To this day, their only win was... a gold medal at army on Parade a few years ago. But enough talk, lets get to the pictures ! What better way to start that the big boom boom ? Rightfully named, the earthshaker.

Kriegsmacht Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Really great Artillery battery. I like the paint chipping effect on your guns. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363953-marshland-death-korps-of-krieg/#findComment-5523262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticos Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks a lot to both of you :) Really great Artillery battery. I like the paint chipping effect on your guns. Thanks ! Easy to do too ! paint rust use hairspray as chipping medium paint your color chip away using water underline the chipping with a light color to give some volume SO. Since we were having a bit of artillery fun.... Here comes more ! Because a Krieg army without artillery is not a Krieg army. I introduce, the heavy mortars ! And with that, a modified chimera, made to look like a mini macharius. And my heavy stubbers teams : Well, that's it for this time, hope you like it :) Kassill, ranulf the revenant, Sagentus and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363953-marshland-death-korps-of-krieg/#findComment-5528606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticos Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 New update So... This was how the army was looking back in...2016 : Three infantry squads One grenadier squad One command squad One Death rider squad Three team of heavy stubbers One chimera And not on the picture Three Earthshaker + Three heavy mortars + crews It was at this time that I decided to start competing to army on parade. So this year I learnt the about AoP date... Two days before in the evening. Meaning I had to put a display board together in just one day with only what I had in the workshop. So after an entire day from 9am to about 11pm using an old white board as a base, I put this thing together : And this is what it looked like back home after they got rewarded with a gold medal : mandaloriano, Sagentus, Grotsmasha and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363953-marshland-death-korps-of-krieg/#findComment-5533147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticos Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Now... One of my absolute favorite sculpt of the 41 millenium is for Forgeworld... From the Death Korps of Krieg army. It's a fest attack and is in fact two living being on the same base. I'm talking about... The death riders ! So I went a bit crazy on them... I put together two entire squads of ten A command squad A commissar For a total of 26 war ponies. And I regret nothing ! Yeah... I went a bit crazy as I said haha Chaplain Raeven, Isengrin, WAR and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363953-marshland-death-korps-of-krieg/#findComment-5537427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Great work on the overall cohesion and look of your army from the artillery to the horses to the color scheme and bases tying them all together! If I’d don’t know better I’d think I was looking at a French WWI historical army diorama!

Ticos Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Thanks a lot all of you ! Great work on the overall cohesion and look of your army from the artillery to the horses to the color scheme and bases tying them all together! If I’d don’t know better I’d think I was looking at a French WWI historical army diorama! Well considering I am french... based in France, and so this army is in France right now and has been for about ten years But yeah, I think that why I love this army, it's the perfect mic of si-fi, historical and post-apo.Plus having recently listened to a long series of youtube videos about the siege of Vraks... I love them even more after that ! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363953-marshland-death-korps-of-krieg/#findComment-5537736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticos Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Alright, new update ! So, after a few games it was evident that my army was lacking amour forces. Considering I already had a few waiting for painting, I order two more Leman russ and got to it when Covid quarantine started in france. So here we go Base coats ( 2 days ) : Light airbrushed weathering ( a few hours ) : More weathering ( acryclics + oils ) : Almost there ! Almost ! Annnd there we are ! After 5 entire days of painting I finally have a decent pool of vehicles ready for the front lines :D Chaplain Raeven, Verux, Dr_Ruminahui and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363953-marshland-death-korps-of-krieg/#findComment-5542132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
