Death Korps of Krieg 900th Regiment - The Cauldron-Born

[BaronBanana]

I've always wanted to play Krieg, finally have enough money to do so, so here I am.  This will serve as a plog for my journey of painting my first full Guard army and then some!

 

 

 

 

 

In these two pictures, the left one is contrasted, the right one is painted normally.  I'm gonna be moving forward with normal painting for the rest of the army.

 

 

 

Welcome to the Cauldron-Born!

Lookin' pretty heckin' sweet up there. Always glad to see more Krieg out there and these guys will look sharp and dynamic on the tabletop.

Look great! Don't often seen brightly coloured DKoK but it's an excellent scheme! Any particular inspiration for the colours?

What kind of DKoK army do you think would field? Death Riders :wub:

Did you order the new index too?

I don't know if I'm going to run them as the Krieg regiment specifically.  So far, I want to run them as one of the custom regiments from PA with my krieg models and use Rough Riders from Legends.  I ordered the new index, I'm very excited because the units I wanted to use the most dropped in price, so I'm pretty stoked.  I was never a fan of painting stuff in dark colors, bright colors for me from now until the end of time  

 

Something like

Really nice, I especially like the bases.

[Imren]

Nice, reminds me of the british during the eitghteenth century.

 

I suggest you thin your paints even more, especially when you paint the highlights, then you will have much smoother transitions from base colour to highlight colour. Have a look at some tutorials on glazing, layering techniques on youtube.

The brighter colours work very well, gives them a much more different look as noted. Very nice, looking forward to seeing more :tu:

I assume you're talking about these shiny Las withthe horrendous highlights. I speed painted that one with contrasts and i don't like the end result, gonna be painting it similar to flagmans

Looking good!

 

I’m building a DKoK force too! I like that you’ve done something a bit different.

 

Your list of stuff looks solid enough. Have you ordered it already?

Your models are well-painted. I'm surprised you gave them red uniforms, like British Army servicemen, instead of the gray the German Army (the Kriegers' direct inspiration) used.

Gray on the tabletop is mega bland to me. Having a colored army, better if you and your opponent have bright armies, makes me people come over to the table more often and you maybe just picked up another player

I've never been a fan of hydras, I'll be building them as wyverns

[duz_]

Fortunately they're pretty easy to switch between the long hydra barrels slide straight into the mortar cannons if you ever change your mind

 

Hydras might be decent this edition if they get 2 shots per attack on their profile as seems to be the case

Only helpful in a flyer meta though

[BaronBanana]

Couldn't find the urge to paint the last couple days, so I did the bare minimum today lol

[The Pounder]

All adds up! After all you move a mountain by carrying away small stones!

 

I’ve just built and based an infantry squad. I’d recommend that you pin the feet of the dudes running to the bases, it’ll save you a lot of heart ache in the future!
