Sheeps Laying a log

[SDKFZ]

Nice ! Like the "crisp" feel of these models. Great rust and nice camo.

Looking forward to the next update. :)

/ SDKFZ

[CMDante]

My god man that is a big update!

Top stuff as always - love the details like the lettering on the command squad members' shoulder pads etc.

Cheers,

Dante

[TomG]

Nice work.

[Faolan]

Did you continue with the same rusting technique you posted a guide for about 30-50 pages ago, or did you do a new one?

[razormasticator]

Gorgeous Weapon Teams!

[sheep]

Thanks everyone :)

Faolan: Yeah its the same, just watered down solar macharius orange.

Cheers

Sheep

[anselminus]

whao i really love yours DK heavy weapon team really really likkkkkke!!!

what coulour do you use for weapon and camo? because i will note for my cadian army ;) if you want
and how do you make leaves on your base?

cheers
anselminus

[rev]

they're so warm. They look 'real' almost like they're historical rather than 40k based. I think the autumnal colours really add a fantastic dimension to the Dkok - I really like them.

Thanks mate.

The weapons are painted khemri brown, with a devlan wash, and a highlight of bone and a wash of solar mach orange.

The leaves are birch seeds, you can buy them from model train shops.

Thanks :D, that means alot coming from someone as accomplished as you. The camo is based off of the SS autumn oakleaf/peadot from WW2 which may be where you've seen it before ;)

----------------------------------------------------

So I said that I'd do a squad next. I lied. Got sick of painting dots and painted this for a treat.

Heres my Quartermaster/Ursaker Creed. I still think it needs some more freehand on the cape, ideas? The X's are for the 10th Kampfgrupp that hes commanding.

C&C appreciated, especially about additional freehand I could add.

Cheers

Sheep

*Edit* The free hand has been cleaned up abit to get those pesky little grey spots, and the stray bits of grass have been removed too.

[Intrepid Adventurer]

Goodness that's awesome painting. The freehand looks ace and fits in well. I'm not sure whether you should add more: I wouldn't overdo it!

[Rhaivaen]

I like the mini, and the quality of the painting is very good, but I dont like the blue colour for some reason.:shifty:

[Mathias Gerner]

Your autumn and red brick wall theme is brilliant. As is your other work.
A real shame that many of your pictures from photobucket is disappearing!

[le Mediko]

Great character! I especially like the details on the figs bases.

[jdp]

The Quartermaster makes a fine commander, of course this army is spoiled for fine choices...
Another fine example of autumn oak leaf, you really have it down. Top shelf work!

[sheep]

Thanks guys. Had some **** weather here the last couple of days, so I got some painting done :)

Quartermaster command squad:

Platoon command:
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Death%20Korps%20of%20Krieg/008-2.jpg

Some of these models were painted before and frankly I can tell. The highlights are alot crisper on the new models, so obviously I'll have to go back through and touch up the old ones if I have time later.

Cheers

Sheep

[anselminus]

really nice cammand squads

[razormasticator]

Looks great Sheep! Solid work as always.

[spikyjames]

Good stuff sheep, great to see you're still going with these guys.

[icecream boy]

Fan-freaking tastic, nuff said.

[Petay1985]

looking beautiful sheep, really nice work fella.

[tancrede]

I didn't post comments here from ages, but i take a look at your log each time, just to see the news.
Wonderful work on those minis, camo or basing.
The only little thing I have to say is that I'm not fond of the blue on the officer...

But keep us showing such good work !

[sheep]

Ta guys

Tanrede: The blue is to signify that he is an officer of the fleet, not a Senior officer like most people use him as.

Cheers

Sheep

[tancrede]

Ok, thank you for this little precision.

[Cry of the Wind]

Great DKoK, love the different paint scheme from what you normally see. I'll have to go back through the other hundred or show pages to see what else you have that will make me drop my jaw...

[Seville]

Wow, man. Really, really nice work. Just great.

[Solun Decius]

Woah! Those DKoKs are amazingly well done. Such detail!
First class stuff here man!

[Dio´Ra]

I see you also have problems with the little eagle ornament on the platoon command banner. I just don't understand how FW expects us to transport such a model without that little thing dropping off the whole time.

Everything looks awesome as always Sheep. Could you maybe give us a close up of the 3 IG on the left of the command squad?

[sheep]

We're back in business YAY!

The hiatus gave me a bit more time to paint, as I'm sure it did for alot of us. Warseer is a great inspiration but also a massive time sink.

Anyway, the next big tournament I'm attending is coming up on the 14th, and with that looming deadline I've gotten some work done on the army, finishing the rough riders.

Firstly, the Commissar, which I'm using as the units SGT. Its the FW limited model, with a scratchbuilt lance:

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Death%20Korps%20of%20Krieg/008-4.jpg

Next is his unit. One thing I did that i thought would be interesting was to change the colour of their unit/platoon marking to copy that of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division. Something I think of as quintessentially "cavalry".

Sheep

[TheConverter15]

Wow... again this is amazing! The skin on the horses is superb! Can you give a quick run through on the centre ones??

[anselminus]

really nice death rider camo and base put it in valor :)

[Faolan]

You sir, disgust me.

[BeatTheBeat]

It almost feels like the down period for Warseer was worth it now that everybody's been actually painting for a week and are posting massive updates. :D

The RRs and Commissar are looking splendid, don't really have much else to say except for: MOAR!

Cheers,
BTB

[Captain Brown]

Beautiful stuff there Sheep. Worth the wait.

Cheers,

CB

[rev]

stunning unit of riders, loving the look.

rev

[Petay1985]

death riders looking fantastic, really great work!

[sheep]

Thanks everyone, glad you all like them :-)


Wow... again this is amazing! The skin on the horses is superb! Can you give a quick run through on the centre ones??

They were all done with an airbrush using tamiya paints. I just picked out a bunch of greys and browns. Then I laid down a base coat of the darkest of the colours. Then did some light zenethial highlights with the next shade up. Then airbrushed the small dots on in white, or brown. Then another zenethial highlight with white. Then I glazed the model in a mix of brown and black to add some depth. Then I painted the riders as normal.

Hope that helps.

--------------------------------------------

Managed to knock over these for the army too. They are in a different, but similar colour scheme to rest of the tanks in the force because I wanted to try something different, and I think that the artillery regiment would have a different colour scheme.

So here we have Death korps of Krieg Artillery reserve Alpha battery guns 2 & 3.

[Faolan]

Christ I'm spewing mate, you're just too damned good.

I'll have to continue to content myself with my TT quality paint jobs :|

[SDKFZ]

Great tanks, Sheep !

I like the weathering, they look realy used.
Looks like your in a productive mood right now, just keep them coming.

Ill be right here waiting for more :D (it very inspirational)

/ SDKFZ

[razormasticator]

Tanks are gorgeous sheep. convincing weathering there.

[kublai]

unbelivable realistic tanks ! fantastic !

[Mega Nutz]

Your cavalry and artillery pieces look simply superb Sheep.

[Hagen92]

I have to pass an English exam tomorrow, so mom told me to post some text on warseer, lol. So what, I have to do it.

These tanks are really great, I love it.
I especially like rust effects and red lenses, it brings some 'vitality' to this models.
Hydras models are even magnificent themselves :D

I would only suggest to apply some smoke on Heavy Bolters barrels, and to apply some dark brown (or even black) under the silver battle damage - it'll emphasize it and give it more realistic look ;)

[sheep]

Thanks everyone :)

Faolan: Nothing wrong with TT quality, these were suppossed to have been finished about a week ago, but I got carried away weathering them.

Hagen: Thanks mate, I hope it helped you in your exam :D Thanks for the tips too, I might do the smoke on the Hvy bolters, but I like the weathering as it is, the highlighted chips look a bit cartoony too me.

-----------------------------------------------------------

What I have today is a pic of some BFG I'm doing for a couple of mates display game they'll be doing at WHW in June.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/WIP%20stuff/003-1.jpg

I love airbrushes, an hours work and I have the base coats on 4 cruisers, 6 swords and 13 cobras :)

Cheers

Sheep

[Petay1985]

stunning work, i don't think i've ever seen such a camo scheme on gothic ships before, looks quality! looking forward to seeing them finished.

[synapse]

a funny thing to mention on such nicely painted models but the red lenses are really nice! they really pop

[cthorpe]

Hi Sheep..

These latest additions look fantastic.. well done..

Best wishes,

Carl

[Ash]

Excellent armour fest! I particularly like the Hydras, impressively straight barrels!

[IncrediSteve]

Nice to see some Gothic love!

Might want to patch up the Nova cannons with some brass rod or plastic rod, a couple have broken off...

[sheep]

Thanks guys.

Steve: They are the way they arrived from ebay, I have no idea what the classes are, so I don't know whats needs doing lol.

Finished some more of the Krieg.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Death%20Korps%20of%20Krieg/003-3.jpg

And the BFG :-D All the cruisers are named after ships, or classes of ships that have been used by the RAN over the years.

Mars:
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/BFG/016.jpg

Overlord?
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/BFG/015.jpg

Tyrant?
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/BFG/018.jpg

Gothic?
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/BFG/017.jpg

And the escorts. The Cobra squadrons are named after spcies of venomous snakes, and the swords are named after types of swords.

Mamba:

Sabre:

Bit disappointed with the quality of the cruisers, they came from ebay so it was a mixed bag of quality.

But pretty good for a 2 day paint job.

Cheers

The fleet looks great Sheep, dont sell yourself short. I like the white on the hulls alot.

[IncrediSteve]

Fleet looks amazing! Always great to see a BFG flotilla finished.

I can help on the classes if it matters:

Colossus - Normal Mars Pattern Battlecruiser. This is the one with a broken nova cannon [prow gun], should look the same as the Vampire's. It's broken conveniently though so it could be passed off as a short barreled version perhaps.

Vampire - This one isn't built to any official class standard, it's either a Gothic with lance turrets added [which could be ignored] or an Armageddon with a 2nd lance battery instead of a weapon battery [could just say it's a weapon battery]. Neither of those can have a Nova Cannon though. Another option still is that it could be a Lunar, and the dorsal turrets are meant to represent weapon batteries [hence the flat chaos turrets]. Actually it's most likely the later since a list can't have that many battlecruisers and this is a clever way to circumvent the fact that the cruiser sprues have an insufficient number of weapon batteries.

Pelorus - A normal Tyrant class cruiser.

Oberon - An Overlord class Battlecruiser with a broken prow ram [this bit is mostly decorative though, and it looks fine without it].

[God LFC]

All the stuff on this log is just brilliant, pat yourself on the back

[donuter]

So what battle ship are we going for?

[Breazer]

that is some impressive work on such tiny models...
great use of colours
i wonder if you might have some tips for me and my scars or GK..

[jdp]

Nice looking BFG fleet, Sheep!
The commissars are always a welcome addition to the guard and those will slide into your Death Korp nicely.

[le Mediko]

Very nice commissar!
About the fleet, I hate guys like you because I should now urgently bought some of those ships... I havn't bought BFG until now, but it is definitively impossible to resist any longer.
The idea to add camo paint on starships is incredibly strange but passes very well.
Very good work!

[sheep]

Thanks everyone, glad you all like it so much.

I have finished the army with 48 hours to go! Result.

I'll take a group shot of the infantry army on the weekend at the tournament, and an FULL army shot when I get home.

Well I guess I am going to have to say pretty much the same as everybody else, but I also have been watching this log on and off for a fair bit and I too never realised just how big this army is!

It does look very impressive all together, you should be very proud.

It's a beautifully cohesive army, and also very original for a Krieg army, but still well within the spirit of other Krieg armies.

It's also very inspirational, 4 years of very hard, but very rewarding work.

Makes me even more determined to get at least one of my armies finished now!

And I don't normally wander into the "non-Imperial" bits of this part of the forums, but I will definitely check out your next project. :)

Wonderful work both on fig detailing and painting.

Is it possible to enter a whole army into Golden Daemon? You'd stand a good chance. Excellent stuff! Realistic and heavily weathered. :)

Just stumbled across this incredible log about your awesome army! Very nice realization of the Erbsentarn.

Sheep, just spent the day looking through your log. Wow. Such an amazing army you have there! :)

You'll be back Sheep! :shifty:
I'll start calling you nostradamus ;)

Its possible, but they aren't painted well enough to have a chance really. This has always been a gaming army first, and a display second, It just happened that I loved painting them so much a I pushed myself to try new techniques and it came off.

Glad you enjoyed you time, certainly takes a lot less time to flick through the pages then it did to paint it all :-D

And now for something completely different, I've been dragged back to the Imperial fold by GK's. I got some cheap from a mate that was getting out of the hobby, and like every other bastard I've decided the best way to run them is with a large squad of paladins.

The list will be:
Draigo
libby
10 termis
10 pladins
1 dreadknight

This is mostly a painting exercise. I might sell them soon after completion too, if any one wants to make an offer ;)

As to the painting. Heres the test.

As you can see, I have painted them in the original Index astartes scheme, basically when they were just anti psyker deathwatch. I much prefer this to the silver scheme as I think it looks alot more sinister. Can't imagine the boys in silver slaughtering the surviving population of a planet because they saw a daemon.

Anyway, C&C welcome, its good to be back Imperium!

Looking good Sheep, and the paint scheme I was going to go with, should I ever move into GKs.

[VenomBlood]

Original dark paint theme is indeed 1000 times better.
Lovely base.

[Col.Gravis]

Hells bells, now THAT is an army, nice one sheep

[SDKFZ]

I must second that, i also prefer the more sinister look on your GK.

I'll start calling you Nostradamus ;) Sheep

Sheeeeeeeep! :D :p Is back. Well about time. Lucky I have been away or you would being getting spammed! :eek:

Hey! That's my idea to use darker colours for my Grey Knights. I will just have to use older GK then.

Good to see you back.

[tancrede]

Old and dark scheme on new minis ? Very cool !
And it works well with the stone base.

What are you planning next ?

[Whitehorn]

Thanks alot guys :D

That's really something! Such a realistic tone to the whole colour and composition. Very inspiring. Excellent work!

[Ithor]

Really nice to see the old dark colour scheme on your GKs Sheep! Brings back some memories...

[Captain Brown]

Love the army shots. Keep up that war against unpainted miniatures.

Cheers,

Sheep, I'm doing some Deathwatch, and I'm having a bit of the time getting the metal plates and arms just right.

What's the process that you did for that on your GKs?

[Mr joeingtons]

Very nice, don't mind if I copy some of the conversions

[Rhaivaen]

Oooo,almost Threadomancy..
