Death Korps of Krieg 3rd Siege Regiment, Blue Company

[The Pounder]

The Templars of Dorn, they’re an Imperial Fists successor chapter my brother is getting me to paint for him!

 

The deal was if he built them and wrote the backstory I’d paint them!

 

No new Krieg news atm.

[The Pounder]

I've had a slow start to 2021, all I've painted are these and a Roboute Guilliman for my son!

 

Now I'm back in the habit I can get on with my beloved Krieg. 

 

I decided to do the Hades Breaching Drill and another squad of Engineers.

Thanks for looking!

The Hades and its passengers look good, but why do the engineers have heterochromatic eyepieces on their protective masks (what civilians mistakenly refer to as "gas masks"- I served in the US Army, whose drill sergeants make the distinction VERY CLEAR)? Do the right eyepieces incorporate monocular preysight (infrared vision) devices? Edited February 3, 2021 by Bjorn Firewalker

Looking good as always chief :tu: about time we had some real guardsmen showing up on my screen and not these lazy Cadians, they aint so tough, they dont even have a planet :P ... 

My inner Word Bearer wants to mock you for painting Rowboat Girlyman but as it was for your son I shall play nice. Out of interest you got an image of the master of toilet seats to share? Im curious to see how he turned out, I imagine quite well going by the standard of your Krieg. 

[The Pounder]

Thanks Bjorn Firewalker! I don’t have a clue! I guess coz it looks cool!!

 

Slave of Darkness, it’s all good, we all serve the Emperor! I’ll post some pics of my rendition of Guilliman in a bit.

[The Pounder]

Slave to Darkness, pics as promised!

Hope you approve, even if you are a heretic!!

Excellent work on Lord Regent Guilliman.

[Slave to Darkness]

Yeah thats a damn fine looking Smurf indeed, looks better than the studio one. :tu:

[The Pounder]

Thanks very much!

 

Slave to Darkness, I wouldn’t go that far though I am really chuffed with how he turned out (so’s the boy!)

 

Luckily my youngest daughter wants to paint the standard models while I paint the characters!

 

Should give me more time to work on my Krieg!

 

Next up will be an Earthshaker Carriage. Wish me luck.

[Slave to Darkness]

Nah serious, the studio one looks like a damn 80s He-Man toy, yours looks dirty and gritty and generally superior. 

[The Pounder]

So this time I’ve built an Earthshaker Carriage!

 

I wanted to try make this one look like it was being loaded. I think I just about got away with it.

 

Here’s the pics:

Next up will be my Macharius Vanquisher. I can’t wait to get started on it!

[Slave to Darkness]

Oh now that is nice. 

[The Pounder]

Thanks Slave to Darkness!

 

I’m a little demoralised atm, I was scouting out my next purchase on Forgeworld and I discovered that the Mars Alpha pattern Vanquisher and the DKoK Squad at Ease are no longer available.

 

The Infantry squads were definitely on my to get list. Now the only option is the squad advancing. Now while that was disappointing it has me wondering if GW will bring out plastic Krieg Infantry (probably a little too much to ask for!) so I’ll have to wait and see.

 

For now though I’ll just work through my grey pile of shame.

 

As I said though hopefully GW will save the day (and a massive amount of cash!) and produce some plastic Krieg!

 

Anyone else disappointed/hopeful?

[GreenScorpion]

I have delayed buying the renegade militia units from forgeworld because they were pricey for a portuguese wage. When I had the funds the range was gone.
I am still waiting on GW's plastic renegades :D

I hope Krieg have the chance instead ;)

That way you can continue to produce your masterpieces.

[The Pounder]

Thanks very much GreenScorpion!

 

Here’s hoping.

 

I’ve got to paint an Imperial Knight for my son’s force and catch up on some Tyranids but should be back on the Krieg soon.

If its not too late paint the carapace before gluing it onto the model makes life a lot easier

As I found after building two knights and not doing that <_<

[The Pounder]

Thanks duz_

 

It’s not too late! Thanks for the heads up!

 

How difficult a kit is it?

[duz_]

The kit itself is fun to build nothing to tricky

 

Easy to magnetise too

 

Trickiest part is probably gluing the tilting plate and stubber / melta gun assembly together so it can still pivot :sweat:

 

Looking forward to seeing it all painted up :tu:

[The Pounder]

Cheers, I’ll post pics when he’s done!

[The Pounder]

I know you come here for the Krieg but.....

 

I’ve finished a centrepiece for my son’s Ultramar Force!

 

It’s taken all my hobby time for the last week. He picked the colours and I did the painting.

 

Really enjoyed it from building to painting it was an absolute joy. It’s a bit rough round the edges but he’s well chuffed with it!

Next up I’ll be working on a Commissar for my Krieg! I need to bash out some smaller stuff before another large project!

[duz_]

He looks great excellent work :tu:

[MedicMike0708]

Really impressive work, and looking very much like something Calgar or the returned Primarch would approve. (As long as it’s not a space marine wearing a suit, inside another suit inside knight armour)

[GreenScorpion]

A really nice centrepiece model :)

[Slave to Darkness]

Looks damn fine. Shame its from Ultramar. Would make a worthy opponent though and I wouldnt mind loosing to such a fine looking beast. 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Beautiful work on the Knight! Why put a wolf IN ADDITION TO the Ultramarines' inverted omega? Do Guilliman's sons also use wolf heads as honor markings or campaign symbols, did the Knight ALSO fight beside Leman Russ' sons in a fierce battle, or is the wolf head from the Knight House's own coat-of-arms?
