Plaguecaster Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 So I finally decided to repent my heretical ways and start collecting something imperial for a change of pace Who better than the imperium greatest force the imperial guard and the most coolest of them all the Death Korps of Krieg The town I'm in is finally starting up a small wargaming club which is planning on running a escalation league to help get new and existing players to take part. i thought would be best time for it especially with the new krieg models coming next year So far have one squad of 20 and 2 of those Horus heresy Sentinels I plan on using for 40k as pretty awesome models Still unsure on the scheme at this stage but thinking of trying for a winter themed force and running a mix of infantry tanks and artillery CyderPirate, brother_b, Focslain and 3 others 5 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384446-starting-a-krieg-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Sounds good mate, a winter theme would look very nice. Definitely a plus1 on the Artillery plan.

The Pounder Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 Nothing like a new project! Good luck with your Krieg force. I’m starting my own and I’m considering snow themed too. Hopefully there will be leaks or previews soon. I’ll watch with interest.

Plaguecaster Posted November 6 Author Share Posted November 6 Tried out first krieg guardsman to get rough idea of what scheme I’ll go for a bit more greyer than what I wanted but thought I’d try this one as not too bad to paint and a lot more muted compared to the more colourful Nurgle models I usually paint Also brought myself a Malcador tank as absolutely love the look of it as I think it just suits the krieg image perfectly and not a big fan of the Rogal Dorn should hopefully get rest of squad painted and based this weekend Focslain and OpossumStrong 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384446-starting-a-krieg-army/#findComment-6074610 Share on other sites More sharing options...

calgar101 Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Those look really well done and I like how the weapons/trims have an almost 'gold' look from a distance. A Malcador is definitely fitting for the Krieg.

Pearson73 Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Scheme looks good and I love the use of the 30k Sentinels. I echo the call for a Malcador!

Plaguecaster Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 (edited) So I picked up a hydra and Malcador for some armoured support as well as 2 more krieg 10man squads really sucks we can’t have the Vanquisher version with Demolisher in 40K so will more run the Annihilator version as the Demolisher cannon and las seem like decent anti tank will probably pick up some Russ Vanquisher some hellhounds as well I also based the krieg squad trying for some ice world style bases using the citadel world base painting tutorial as a guide, quite happy how it turned out Edited November 21 by Plaguecaster Bonehead, Focslain, Rockybaerboa and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384446-starting-a-krieg-army/#findComment-6076652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Ming Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Looking good! Maybe tidy the base rims up and paint them black, would make them stand out more Plaguecaster, SteveAntilles and The Pounder 2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384446-starting-a-krieg-army/#findComment-6076679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonehead Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 For my two cents, I'd say grab the 30k Russ. It has the Krieg friendly body shape.

The Pounder Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Looking good so far! Very gritty. Like @Bonehead said the 30k Russes would look great (especially with the Sentinels) just wondering if there’s anywhere you could get hold of sponsons for them? Someone on here might be able to help.

I will be picking up one of the 30k Russ this week after payday I managed to find a 3d printer through Etsy that sells a conversion pack that gives the 30k ones sponsons Should be able to get the hydra and couple of krieg squads assembled just haven't had much time lately due to how busy with work have been WAR and Focslain 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384446-starting-a-krieg-army/#findComment-6077840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted December 1 Author Share Posted December 1 So I got my hands on the FW krieg Quartermaster and decided to use him as a Death Korps marshal as well as picked up an Eversor Assassin as cool model and having some crazy melee units seems like it'll help Will paint the hydra next and probably start assembling another couple squads of krieg as well as get one of the cool 30k magos models to use as a tech priest Harrowmaster, Focslain, EmprahsStrongestGuardsman and 1 other 3 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384446-starting-a-krieg-army/#findComment-6078494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmprahsStrongestGuardsman Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Cool Quartermaster. I was kicking myself that I put the death Korps Commissar in the basket on the GW site like a day before it sold out online and at this point the old sculpts might be OOP and really get jacked up in price on ebay.

The Pounder Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Always liked the Quartermaster model! Really liked the shovel on the base! @EmprahsStrongestGuardsman, I feel your pain. I wanted to get one too!

Thanks yeahs it's an amazing model Doesn't have an actual power weapon count as on model so thought a shovel shall do the job nicely Hydra is all painted now, was able to get a krieg crewman from one of the fw kits to swap out with normal gunner so matches more better Now to focus on some more assembling librisrouge, DemonGSides, EmprahsStrongestGuardsman and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384446-starting-a-krieg-army/#findComment-6078914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
