Woo go Sheep go!
Love the carapace on the nids.

As far as the weathering goes, salt works just as well. Dampen the area, put the salt on and spray. When dry, scrape it off with a toothbrush. No Australian foodstuffs needed!

You Ammobunker-ians need to get back over here from time to time!

Awesome nids! The I.F. are pretty sweet too, but I have a soft spot in me for nidzilla lists.
Do you have any close ups of the carnifexes and tyrants?
Cheers!

Definitely want to see more of this! I take it the winged Carnifex model is a Tyrant, so is that a Carnifex with the old Tyrant head?

Always did love the Behemoth scheme. If you've got to go with a stock scheme, might as well do the best one. ;)

EDIT: Wait... there's two with the Tyrant head, and they have modified armored forearms and are on medium bases. Tyrant Guards?

Okay here is how it went for me:
There is all these Tyranid Pictures, and the models look really nice, I scroll further down, even more nids, even nicer... but then in the very last pic there is this small dkok soldier and he steals the show ... big time :D
I dont know it is just something about the pose and your painting on him and that base, he is just awesome and in my book he just killed the whole swarm :D
Anyway... Awesome stuff sheep, still most impressed by your tank-weathering. Keep it up!

Whenever i look over your blogs, i always find myself looking at page 1 first, cos i love your early guard pics there....

But today... ive been more outstanded by your Nids. The scheme looks fabulous on them, and i love what you have done with the old Tyrants as bodyguard!

All in all they look amazing.

All I can say is THANK YOU! You have given me so much inspiration for my cityfight-tanks, the bigger turrets on the LRs and the use of optics make me wanna make some armoured veichles! I would love to see some closeups on the turrets from above.
And I must say that your Exterminator is the best one i have ever seen.

Thanks guys, really glad you all like them.

I've almost finished anothe 8 stealers, i have to get them and another 8 done for a tournament in 2 weeks. Orktoberfest.

The list will hopefully be:

Flyrant w/everything
2xlictors
36xstealers with scuttlers and hooks
3x carni's w/everything
=1750pts

What do you think?

Faolan: I used to muck around with Jasevx, schoolcormorant, digitsdave and some other minor warseer celebrities, and i'm active on the ammobunker, a majority UK based forum. I dunno mate :D I love vegimite and Tooheys extra dry if it endorses my Aussie-ness ;)

23-10-2008, 15:49

PLEASE restart the guard from the first page!

I second this notion :p

Even if you can't give them all the MP7 style autoguns, it's a gorgeous scheme, and that Heavy weapons team is inspiring...

Maybe the MP7s could go in with veterans and assault units, and then give the rank and file regular full stock autoguns? The little bit of extra length shouldn't disrupt the imagery too much, kind of like some G36's into the mix as well.

sheep

24-10-2008, 04:49

Nice graphic :D The vets are all going to be armed with either shotguns or plasma guns so no dice there, but it could be good for variation in the squads.

Thanks for the ideas, i'll have to dig out the guard box and see what i have.

Heres a pic of the finished models in the display case.

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Tyranids/Nidsall003.jpg

Went to a tournament with them over the weekend.

Pic of the venue:
http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Stuff/Image002.jpg

List was

Flyrant
2x lictors
33x stealers w/scuttlers & hooks
3x carnis with everything

Went pretty well. 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw.

Came 15th out of 74. So reasonably happy :)

Was really inspired by a painted krieg army that a bloke was playing with, have decided to get some heavies for them off the back of how good the models looked in person. And i'm going to be painting them differently to the white ones already done, the scheme basically bores me, so i'm combining the 2 guard armies i've done, and am going to do them in the orange oak leaf camo.

I know this will make them look like german SS, and I don't care!

I'll hopefully have a test mini done in the next couple of days, work and GF permitting.

Cheers

Praexes, why do you say this?????
I love the looks of the german armor of WWII, does that make me a similar type that you describe? NO, it makes me like something that looks ok, and has nothing to do with ideology or anything in that sphere...

Relax, I'm going to put my money on Praexes being just a slight bit sarcastic in his post ;) Other than that i must say the tyranids are still looking great and I also think it's great we get to see the return of the dreaded Death korps :)

It's called sarcasm, and it's fairly popular in real life these days. Learn it, and you won't look quite so oblivious.

On a more topic-related note, Sheep deserves millions of internets. At least.

Internet posting does not convey across correctly the sarcasm he might have intended, and i think its sloppy to make such a "sarcastic remark"..
I live in the U.K., and its sarcasm all the way here, i do know what sarcasm is about and am not oblivious, thankyouverymuch.

Brother_Chaplian Raimo

26-10-2008, 23:14

27-10-2008, 10:07

Yea well, inattentive sarcasm sometimes does that ;)
In general you don't make jokes on that kind of subject (hint), specially on the net, where some details get lost when the body language and tone of voice cant be transferred, and that makes the joke not funny in some peoples eyes.

Anyway, enough about that, and sorry, Sheep, to kick dust in your log.
Congrats on your 15th place anyway, and yes, we would like to se more Death Korps of Krieg... thats what u started with :rolleyes::p

Faolan

27-10-2008, 11:49

Sheep, you have way too bloody much patience if you're going to paint the fall camo scheme.

Although I'll be honest, I don't think greatcoats lend themselves to camo smocks, but I look forward to you proving me wrong.

Tommygun

27-10-2008, 12:02

I'll second Faolon. I have done the Autumn camo on a few 1/35 scale figures.
It's a fun pattern, but you'll go blind and mad painting a whole company of Guard.
You will have a great army when they come and take you to the mental ward.;)

Trukson

27-10-2008, 12:46

Sheep, your work is AMAZING!

Personally im in love with the autumn-camo and was sad to see you repaint that awesome Exterminator into a Commisar-tank, but this is just me since all your work just spells out "quality".

28-10-2008, 10:54

Nice work! I initially didn't think that camo scheme would work on Krieg greatcoats, but it does!
And I really don't care about them looking like Waffen SS. C'mon, German Panzers also looked far cooler than those Shermans, and since it's just the looks you are copying, everything's fine. Actually the Death Korps design pretty closely resembles early 20th century Germans...

One question remains, though: What about your tanks? Will they be re-painted in the new old scheme? I must say, your vehicles looked really badass in that camo...

Cheers,
Monsterzonk

The uniforms were designed by Hugo boss after all :D I love the camo pattern, and think it looks great, I will finish a couple of tanks in the Berliner scheme, enough for a 1750pt AC. I'll have to come up with something else for the Kreig, i'm thinking grey or ambush pattern.

It's completely intentional :D

I would personally use this camo scheme only for some of the units like the elites (Grenadiers and Engineers), and keep the grey for the bog-standard guards.

No doubt i like the camo,
but.

I have showed the picture to a friend of mine and he said the lightning S is distasteful.... not saying you should not have it, but watch it, people can become offended by it, as it "suggests", and for a lot of people that's enough

Solun Decius

28-10-2008, 15:30

Very nice DKoK. The camo is nice and the highlights on the black cloth.
I understand where Rhaivaen is going but I'm always disappointed when rather basic icons and logos are ruined or even made downright offensive by one particular use.
Take the swastika: Beautiful icon, ruined for eternity! I've always wanted to figure out a way to use these icons without it being offensive!
The S on the helmet of a Krieg Corp still seems to be fairly to-the-point. :) Looks cool though! :D

Light of the Emperor

28-10-2008, 15:35

Great camo scheme. I remember SC had an oak leaf pattern too. Good use of the other colors as well to keep emphasis on the coat. The white "lighting bolt" on the helmet fits quite well...don't see any issues with it.

28-10-2008, 19:30

Wow sheep amazing with the Camo scheme. Luckily, the Bundeswehr still uses such camo, so it is not all "Nazi's". I really need to see a tut for that, because I am curious how you highlighted it even though you were doing a camo scheme. Very interesting to see!

"Flecktarn was only widely introduced in 1990", long after i had done my army service within the Netherlands army, i have never seen them use it even when on field exercise, and interesting note:
My country rejected it, amongst other reasons that it was vaguely reminiscent of waffen SS camo. So even today, yes, the camo is still seen as SS reminiscent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flecktarn

CMDante

28-10-2008, 20:10

Looks great mate and turned out very quickly. I really like the mud weathering, how did you achieve that effect?

My one thought would be that maybe the inside of the coat should have a proper lining? Brown or black tend to be the most popular. Would make life a bit easier for you - less camo to paint!

Cheers,

I can see where he's coming from, but the runic S isn't in itself "evil", it's not like I put 2 of them on it.

I was considering changing it too an =][= symbol, they do have the same mission and techniques afterall!

Great camo scheme. I remember SC had an oak leaf pattern too. Good use of the other colors as well to keep emphasis on the coat. The white "lighting bolt" on the helmet fits quite well...don't see any issues with it.

SC did his after mine :D Thanks mate.

Wow sheep amazing with the Camo scheme. Luckily, the Bundeswehr still uses such camo, so it is not all "Nazi's". I really need to see a tut for that, because I am curious how you highlighted it even though you were doing a camo scheme. Very interesting to see!

Its really easy actually, just a couple of light drybrushes of Bleached bone.

Looks great mate and turned out very quickly. I really like the mud weathering, how did you achieve that effect?

My one thought would be that maybe the inside of the coat should have a proper lining? Brown or black tend to be the most popular. Would make life a bit easier for you - less camo to paint!

Cheers,

Dante

Which mud weathering? I had considered it mate, but i prefer the all camo look.

The test mini looks awesome mate. I hope you actually get this army finished this time, not like the snow themed one:)

Lol, nice one mate, let me try and finish a squad first though.

On the matter of the Sigrune, I think its probably easier just to avoid it, clearly some people get offended by it while others dont. Why not make it a small lightning bolt instead?

As for the mud effect, I mean the subtle, khemri brown type smatterings on the coat (on one shoulder etc), it looks very realistic.

I remember that now! But its probably easier to avoid it or turn it into a bolt, like Dante suggests.

I like the way you painted the model but i also think that you should leave the "S" away. It is the Sigrune and was the symbol of the "Jungvolk" as a part of the Hitlerjugend. It is forbidden in Germany. In combination with the Flecktarn for me its a problem and i would never play against such an army!

Sorry to hear that, i understand the reasoning behind the laws, and as an outsider, ie not a european, I am far removed from any historical sensitivity due to proximity.

It snot a big thing for me, its just a cool symbol, but i think the consensus is to change it.

Camo looks absolutely awesome, as does the whole model. Personally I think the white lightning bolt is a bit much - not that I find it offensive, just it seems to take the model slightly out of the 40k universe and into more of a historical realm, but I understand that this was probably your intention anyway.

Can't wait to see more models in the scheme - amazing work as per usual

CMDante

29-10-2008, 12:54

Ah, I thought it was mud weathering because of the first WIP pic where it was splashed on the helmet, didn't realise it was the camo pattern, looks like it would look good as mud weathering too though!

I'm currently ordering some MIG weathering pigments to try using on figures as a realistic way of doing dust, mud etc. Hopefully I'll get a few test pics up once they arrive!

Cheers,

Sorry you feel that way, but the whole DKOK is based on the historical German Armies of the First and Second World War. I would suggest that my mate Sheep intent is to do his Army with this in mind. It is good that we live in Australia and will not have to play you. The whole imagery of this FW army is what it is! Either you enjoy Sheep's work or you don't. Sheep crack on mate and do not be concerned as your work is not offensive as it is just an army for gaming nothing more. :eyebrows:

VanSan you owe my mate Sheep an apology! Don't lay your issues on a guy whose intent is nothing more then to paint a great 40K Army! And is doing so!

Rhaivaen

29-10-2008, 14:00

@ Colonel Jacka:
VanSan wasn't making a point about Sheeps painting, he was merely stating that he was offended by the S, and would not play against "someone" who has his models painted up like that, regarding the S and that camo scheme as a combined effect.
@anybody else:
I have explained that in we in western europe still find any resemblance to AH and the SS often insulting, and that is the reason why we dislike the S, not the paint scheme itself so much.. even though my country did. (Netherlands army, ps, i resent the word Dutch (english slang word) and therefore don't use it)

And in my recollection, it was Goff stormboys that used that S at first in GW articles and paint schemes, but they used a grey, black and white camo scheme?...

Hashut

29-10-2008, 15:16

Honestly, the idea of the 'S' rune upsets me a little. I'd have reservations playing that army because of that reason. Still, the painting is excellent, and I love the camo. It probably doesn't help that I have Jewish heritage.

30-10-2008, 04:13

Rhaivaen,

I know a far bit about real life and history. I get what you guys are saying to Sheep, but do you really think he painted his figures with any real malice or an intent to insult? I don't want to join the crowd who riot over a cartoon in a European paper.

Thats fine, but nobody is rioting here. A few of us are simply politely pointing out that the S / Lightning bolt is still a politically charged symbol and some of us find it slightly unnerving to see models resembling german infantry painted in this fashion. If you have a problem with people responding to the models in this fashion then perhaps it would be advisable to consider not adding the lightning bolt in future. The painting and the camo are stunning, I just feel the inclusion of the S is slightly unfortunate. The 40k universe is wonderfully rich and detailed, but theres nothing wrong with references to the real world. What does seem unfortunate however, is references to Nazi Germany and the SS

30-10-2008, 06:03

They should make a sticky on "questionably" themed armies, the topic comes up again and again and again....

Anyhow, fantastic painting. The camouflage is very nice and detailed.

I really like how Sheep has handled the thread. These debates normally turn into monkey poo fights very quickly, but the situation was handled with grace and respect. My personal opinion on the matter is that, due to right of personal freedom and expression, you can paint your army however you feel. However, It must be understood that due to the historical connotation of the said material, people may find it distasteful or offensive, which is understandable. Of course, the producer has his own opinions and is subject to them, but it would be pretty insulting to not admit that ones work may cause insult, because in this case, it probably does to some people.

However, it is never as simple as that. I think that Sheep clearly isn't a raving white supremacist :P, he's just painting an army based on a historical uniform which, when one ignores the history behind it, looks pretty cool! So, it terms of art and expression, Sheep has every right to paint his little dudes however he feels like painting them. But in terms of tastefulness, it must be understood (and most definitely not dismissed) that the armies theme may have a detrimental effect on some people. But you proably already knew that, I just wanted to summarize my thoughts on the subject :P

So where does this leave us? Well you're left with a few options: you can submit to the 'common' perception of what is considered culturally acceptable, leaving you with very little artistic freedom (something is offensive to someone). Your other option is to simply not care about how your army is perceived by other people, however this may make other people think you are an "*******", fair enough, but people can think what they want of each other. Lastly, (this is my personal opinion), it is best to take a mixed approach. For instance, you wish to use you freedom of expression, but you do not want to offend anyone. In this case, this would probably be best achieved by changing the runic S to a lightning-bolt. It's not exactly the same, but it still carries the theme. It a sort of compromise which might appeal to all parties.

However, I think Nazis are evil, so If you were to paint a SS themed Krieg army, I wouldn't approve, but I would accept your right to do it out of artistic freedom. Basically, I think the point I am trying to make is, as long as you're not a flaming racist, it's "acceptable" to theme an army based on the principles of artistic freedom.

Whew. :)

30-10-2008, 10:19

Alright, well thankyou all for your comments, good and bad.

I'm just going to ignore the fact that this argument has gone on, there will be no sigrune on the helmets any more though, i'll change it to a lightning bolt, purely to avoid any of these arguments at a tournament, however i think there needs to be something there, so i'm going for the bolt.

I'm working on the next four, and doing a tut for all those that want one.

I really like that camo scheme Sheep, and don't particularly care one way or another about the S/Lightning bolt decision.
However, I will point out that IIRC the Warseer servers are Germany based and I have seen material forcibly pulled from logs in the past for being Nazi themed/bearing questionable iconography (as material posted to the forum must abide by German law). Just sayin'.

But seriously, they are excellent; the camouflage, the basing, the discolouration on the flamer. The one thing I think seems a bit lacking is weathering; are you planning to add any?

Aw shucks *blushes* :D

I reckon if you plan on adding some weathering then you cant go far wrong with some pigments. Would certainly keep with the realistic look you have going with these chaps already. I'd recommend picking up the dvd guide before using them though, really helps give an insight into their uses!

Looking forward to more as always.

I was just wondering if you plan on stripping the paint of the tanks and other vehicles? I love them but a similar dark color would be perfect IMO

Just love this and I want an oakleaf division in my deathkorps!

What do you all think about the idea of doing some of them with grey great coats and camo pants?

I'm planning on doing the tanks/halftracks in an late war german ambush pattern, maybe slightly changed to darken it up.

Try doing it on your greniders, the different scheme adds to the "elite" effect.

Let me know what you think.

Nice, you do those FW models justice dude. It's all very life-like and straight out of the trenches :D
Grey coat and camo pants doesn't seem very practical. Seems more "street fashion" than "military". It might look cool though to have some without camo coats, just black or grey coats, but then maybe without camo alltogether. That said, it's probably worth trying, to see how it looks.

Most armies (and in the 40k universe this would be represented by an army group or a specific campaign) have been equipped at the same time and as such have similar equipment, and even new units added to this army is usually issued the same standard as the ongoing campaign. Even the Imperial Guard, who normally assign remnants of any regiment/campaign to join a new regiment/campaign, could be assumed to issue these troopers with the "standard equipment" of the ongoing mission.

However, that was my military side speaking. On the gaming table where we shuffle miniatures around, having some diversity amongst the men can actually make the army look really good! One of the coolest Imperial Guard armies i ever saw had squads from each different "GW-issued regiments" (Valhallans/Mordians/Catachans etc etc), all painted individually but still having some distguinishing colours to tie the entire army together.

So if you are to paint a unit in another colour than your "autumn-camo", i would choose a unit that stands out on the field. Im guessing you are only using DKoK-models, so that would leave choices like Command Squads, Stormtroopers and/or Veterans.

Fantastic stuff, these guys make an amazingly realistic looking unit, the bases and everything work perfectly together.

The camo came out great too, really makes this a stand out unit.

More please!

As for the camo trousers debate, I think black coats would work, grey might but black would look better.

Cheers,

Dante

Faolan

08-11-2008, 14:49

You could get away with some mix and match of the coats/smocks, but it's likely that the pants at least would be highly standardised.

On the other hand, do up a test sample and decide if YOU like it. The rest of us can shove our monitors up our ring-hole if we don't like it, but you do.

I think some of you are way to nonchalant about this subject.. i do agree that his painting is his own to do... and he was also willing to drop the S and shift it into a lightning, which shows he is open minded, and not to rigid in his thinking, unlike you guys who seem to defend him, which seems awkward to me:rolleyes:

Rhaiven, those of us who defend him don't necessarily defend his choice, but his right to make said choice. Count me as one of those. I'm not opposed to the runic S in the least, but it's the fundamental right which strikes me as important and why I stand up for the man.

Strike that, why I stand with him.

There's nothing cavalier about my attitude to it, and really, I'd ask you pull the stick out of yer posterior.

A truly liberal society and group values creativity and expression for the sake of it, and doesn't seek to restrict it based upon "well it might offend a handful of people"; that's fake liberalism and expression.

Honestly, the thread was back to fun and good discussion again till you returned nagging over a passing comment.

Also, Sheep, weren't those smocks reversible? What was on the reverse of that pattern, or what do you want to be on the reverse of yours? Maybe a very simple two-tone grey splinter pattern that's as fast to paint (almost) as one tone but serves to break up the shape a bit.

Colonel Jacka

Sheep, firstly, i never went flaming on you because u used a runic S, i merely cautioned you in the use and the combined effects of your artistic abilities, and i NEVER claimed you weren't allowed to do it at all..
My apologies to you for any derailing this thread will have because of the discussion surrounding your artistic abilities.

Rhaiven, those of us who defend him don't necessarily defend his choice, but his right to make said choice. Count me as one of those. I'm not opposed to the runic S in the least, but it's the fundamental right which strikes me as important and why I stand up for the man.

Fundamental rights only go so far when it comes to evil symbolisms being used in a frivolous way.

It's nothing cavalier about my attitude to it, and really, I'd ask you pull the stick out of yer posterior.

I dislike this comment. Keep this attitude to yourself please, i was not insulting you personally.

A truly liberal society and group values creativity and expression for the sake of it, and doesn't seek to restrict it based upon "well it might offend a handful of people"; that's fake liberalism and expression.

That "passing comment" was a sniding remark at someone's opinion, and i respect Sheep more then i do you, i think your reply here shows your immaturity and childish views of the world.

I think they look amazing and have no problems with what ever symbols are on them. I like the use of orange I have rarely seen camo with oranges that works but these look really good and feel very real. At that usually gets my vote, cause if it looks like it could be real than the point of painting and modelling has been achieved. Otherwise why not just play RPG where its all in our heads.

I think fecktarn is one of best-looking camo-patterns ever and I have been thinking of using British DPM, the Swedish M90 or flecktarn on guardsmen for a long time but I never found an easy way to paint them, so I think I’m going to steal the black armour and flecktarn uniform for my future Elysian paratrooper project. As for changing the paint scheme I don't think it would have the same effect, although you could go for the classic German military look by having the troopers all grey and use the camo scheme on storm troopers.

Just a thought…

Keep it up mate!

Flecktern is a derivative of the oakleaf/pea camo from WW2 used by the SS, and yes i agree too, one of the better camos out there, much better then that hideous and ineffective ACU anyway.

Wondering out loud:
Would that infantry camo fit on a tank?, or would that be insane? :D

It might, but i would go insane, I've done it once on a sentinel, pics much earlier in the log, but i had to biggerize the dots to make it paintable.

Mate, they are easily the best Krieg miniatures I've ever seen. Maybe save the grey jackets and camo pants for your stormtroopers or veterans?

The storm troops/grenadiers have more armour and skull faces ont heir helms, which i think will be enough to distiguish them from regular line infantry.

Thanks again all for looking and commenting, i'm still working on the command squad, the banner is like 2 troopers! But i think it looks great, and i'll have pics soon as possible.

This is just too much! I have started painting my Stormtroopers (almost) the same camouflage as you, but i can never do it justice and seeing this awesomeness makes me feel like my work is just a mockery of your genious!

The one and only thing i could ever point out (and that had to be excruciated from me by a very sadistic Interrogation-Servitor), is using red/orange for your plasma guns. I know youre trying to keep your colour-scheme kinda close-to-earth, but using another bright tone would really make it stand out (as it is now they kinda blend with your camo).

Krieg Marshall

13-11-2008, 14:00

Great as always. You give so much inspiration for my drawings. I've tried a few weeks ago to draw some kind of Krieg light infrantry man using a silmilar camo. But they were wearing another kind of jacket aver the greatcoat and keep the greatcoat in grey...

Anyway, great job.

Dio´Ra

13-11-2008, 14:16

too be honest sheep....the plasma coils blend a bit too much in the models....now I know making them stand out would beat the whole idea of camo....but then again its a personal taste of my to add much colours and make models look more vibrant....

How about going from red to ice blue? or light green?

The plasma coils seem to be dividing everyone, i like it, but i'm lazy and went with waht i thought was easy, I can see the argument for more contrast though. If someone with photoshop skills wants to show me what they would look like different colours, please go ahead :D

The flag is staying the way it is, I really like it, and its one of my favorite parts of the squad.

Firt off, everything looks great.

Secondly, I like the red on the plasma gun. When I scrolled down further from the squad pic and saw the kneeling guy with the blue bit on the plasma gun(and hadn't yet read the text there) I laughed out loud, thinking that the red one was of course obviously overheating, while the pic of the blue one was "normal". You could do some of each!!! :D

I like the fist one in the squad though. It's good to be different sometimes, and your version just looks dangerous to me(which of course suits the weapon). You could do the coils like they were glowing metal instead as you have them now, and with a "Get's Hot!" one really glowing brightly. ;)

Thanks mate :-)

I've got some pics of the WIP halftrack for you.

What i started with, an armature made out of lego, i took the top bumps off with an orbital sander.

Shortened and lowered chimera tracks, plasticard top plate, deepened the turret.

Detail shot of the removable top plate.

A shot of the WIP wheel/tyre i'm attempting to make, the Largest GW tyre i can find is too small, and i'll be buggered if i'm paying $65 for an ork trukk just for a wheel!

Any way, any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, i am alittle concerned that it may be a bit big, but i'm modeling it on the MRAP/251 Sdkzf, which will ofcourse mean a biggerized Russ when i get to it/them.

Cheers

it's huge! maybe too huge... looks like it's twice the size of a regular chimera and couldn't that give it a disadvantage with the LoS-rules and all?

looking forward to see it finished!

I don't suppose you thought of a compass and scriber, or a keyhole saw and power drill to make the size wheel you want?

Thanks guys, yeah it is a touch big, but i can live with it, the russ will be huge :D

Faolan: i did think of it, but i a- don't have anyof the tools and b- can't be bothered :P

I think it looks a good shape but its maybe a tad too wide. You will be able to get away with it though because its not like your exactly recreating a skdf, its the 40k version afterall! Looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Always loved this log, so here's my thanks =] dont know if its too late though. I like the red coils as they are, but maybe they dont "pop" out enought from the rest of the minis? *shrug*

Btw, I'd have to say the chimaera looks a tad big albeit great as a concept

Wow sLai! Very nice, thats awesome, so good i almost despair about actually painting models! You almost convinced me to go blue . . . almost. Dammit, i thought i was happy with red.

I like them as they started out...after all I do not want the Marine player to notice the Plasma Gun as that just encourages incoming fire. ;)

Beautiful work.

I think the turquoise effect plasma is excellent. Really contrasts with the orange on the camo.

Hi everybody, nice to see i'm missed, and thanks to all of you for the comments and encouragement.

Not much painting done on the krieg in the last couple of weeks. A couple of reasons, its gotten Bull S**t hot around here recently, comptlely sapping my will to paint, and when have painted it been on other projects.

The first project was a result of buying AoBR boxset, finished the SM's in IF colours, and somehow aquired another set of orks, but the normal ones are boring, so i did these Commandos from black ork conversions for fun. Came up with a cool name, and pinched the GW colour scheme.

Also painted these guys for a 1000 point tournament played at my local hobby shop, i was lucky enough to come 7th and win best painted :)

Finally just to prove that somehting is actually being done with my pile of resin.
