Death Korps of Krieg 3rd Siege Regiment, Blue Company

[commissar_roach]

I absolutely love the look of these. The paint scheme is great and fits in so well with the trench fighter aesthetic. 

[Slave to Darkness]

Damn fine looking Artillery old chap.

[The Pounder]

Thanks Bjorn Firewalker!

 

Cheers Raziel-TX! I fully intend to!

 

Thanks commissar_roach, thats exactly what I was trying to achieve.

 

Slave to Darkness, haha! Don’t worry, everything I’ve got left to paint is artillery!! (Except for a couple of Russes)

 

I’m currently on a unit of Black Templars, once they’re done I’ll finish the Quadlaunchers.

[The Pounder]

Hello again!

 

This week’s update is my first Field Artillery Battery in the shape of the Quadlaunchers.

 

I just love my artillery and compared to their larger cousins (looking at you Medusa Carriage!) they were easy to build and painting was fun.

 

I can’t help thinking I need some more infantry might need to sort that.

 

Next up I’ll finish the last piece of heavy artillery (Earthshaker Carriage)

They look glorious chief!! :wub: :tu:

[The Pounder]

This week’s update is a Command Squad for 2nd Platoon!

Really hope GW bring back the platoon mechanic (would help to mitigate people’s difficulty fitting enough troops in their formations)

With this completion I now have 2 Squads one with 2 Plasmaguns and the other with Meltaguns.

That’s enough preamble here’s the pics:

Thanks for looking!

[Slave to Darkness]

Damn fine squad sir. 

[The Pounder]

Thanks mate, I’m pretty chuffed with how they came out.

I’m tempted to build and paint the 2 Leman Russ tanks I have lying around.

 I’m still waiting for the plastic Korpsmen my wife ordered me for Father’s Day.

 

[Brother Captain Vakarian]

Jud, that command squad looks awesome.  Great work on the flag especially. Love the NMM gold (assuming it’s NMM by the look?).  It’s very well done.

Cant wait to see what you do with the plastics, much more versatile than the FW ones. Hope they turn up soon... 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work.

[our_baz]

That Command squad looks fantastic, such a good grim and gritty look you have for them.

[The Pounder]

Thanks Brother Captain Vakarian! It was my attempt at NMM! I’m really happy you thought it came out well!

 Thanks for the vote of confidence Slave to Darkness. Here’s hoping they arrive sometime soon (it’s nearly a month now)

Cheers Bjorn Firewalker!

 Our_baz thanks! That’s exactly what I was going for! I’m just lucky my dream army suits my messy painting style!

 I’m currently working on some Black Templars but will have a Krieg update asap!

 

We are His Shovel!

[The Pounder]

Finally got my plastic Krieg kits! 
 

As you can imagine I couldn’t resist gluing one together and painting it!

I wasn’t sure how the 2 would look alongside each other.

 

Below are the pics.

What do you guys think?

[duz_]

Gorgeous! 

Are more plastic reinforcements on their way? 

 

Can we have a side by side comparison? 

[The Pounder]

Thanks duz_ yep, I’ve got 2 boxes so far. I’d like to add a few more for extra Infantry and Special weapons teams.

The one on the left is FW, the one on the right is the new plastic kit.

I feel the FW ones are higher in detail but the GW ones are easier to build and have less imperfections.

All in, I’m happy to be adding more.

 

 

We are His Shovel!

[Lord_Ikka]

I don't know about higher detail, but from your pics it looks like the details might be finer in the FW ones- the gas masks' tubes and the lasrifle's cooling coils are all smaller and more finely done on the FW ones. Something that you can see with these sort of close pics, but I would be hard pressed to pick out the difference on a table from normal viewing distances. Either way, looking good!

[duz_]

Nice the difference almost isn't noticeable then

There's always a trade off in detail between plastic and resin, but for mass infantry easier to build, transport and handle is definitely preferred. 

[WAR]

Looks great!

[The Pounder]

Thanks very much guys!

 I’m really happy that the consensus is they’ll good together.

 I’m adding 20 more Infantry to my list so I’ll have to get them done as soon as I’ve finished the Black Templars.

Sadly there’s not enough time to get them done before my next game but I’ll get on them asap.

[The Pounder]

Ok people. After 2 defeats on the bounce I’d like to come back with something a little harder hitting!

I’ve gone with as much Artillery as I can.

I’m hoping I’ll have enough Infantry now (80) as there never seems to be enough.

I’ve reduced the model count on the Deathriders (now Command Squadrons which have more attacks) and a smaller footprint when coming on from reserve.

I feel the Engineers are very useful so I’ve included everything I own (minus 1 Molelauncher) they can pop up wherever needed and the 2 Hades Breaching Drills kick ass!

What do you guys think? Hard hitting enough?
 

Also given what you’ve seen in my list which secondary objectives would you suggest?

 

[The Pounder]

I’d still like people’s opinions on the list above if you have the time.

 

I’m still plugging away on the second Crusader Squad for the Black Templars but needed a palette cleanser.

So I decided to paint the Astropath I bought on eBay! Got it for an absolute steal!

I can now contest in every phase of the game! 

Here’s the pics:

Nice Astropath, love the muted gold, nice to see something not overly shiny. Cant comment on the list, still playing catch up with the rules so dont know whats good or not. 

[The Pounder]

Cheers mate, just came back from holiday.

I was going for a muted type look so he didn’t stick out too much from the crowd!

 I’m back on the Krieg with my 7th Infantry squad.

 

We are His Shovel!

[Slave to Darkness]

Cant have too much infantry... 

 

Holiday good?? Anywhere nice?
