Death Korp of the Kreig

So much Death Korp your head will explode!*

*This is a blatant lie 😀

Now well on my way with the next batch of Death Korp. Squad number 4 is finished and includes some meltas that will likely be switched with some other squads to spread ’em out.

Next up on the painting schedule are two heavy weapon squads. This first one is the Mortar team, made using the Death Korp of the Kreig Artillary Crew and the Death Korp of the Kreig Thudd Gun Crew, and the remains of the Cadian heavy weapons box. I’m very happy with how they’ve turned out, and am especially pleased with the map bearing spotter :).

And a wee update on the Lascannon/Autocannon team:

Death Korp Heavy Weapons Team

The first of the Death Korp heavy weapons teams has been built. These have been designed for ease of transport and wound reminding, as the weapons and the troops can be removed from the base. The client was also looking to be able to swap to autocannons if necessary, so I will be painting these up alongside the lascannons.

These where made using the gunner from the heavy stubber team (also a good way for the client to get all the meltas he was looking for). They weren’t a perfect fit for the lascannon, but with a wee bit of fiddling I’ve got it modeled so they look like they are firing through a veiwfinder/targetting screen, so a wee bit of lighting effect should make this a little more obvious once they are painted.

After finishing off the at ease squad I found a whole lot of enthusiasm for the daunting task of the Basilisk. Finished the beast off earlier today and am very pleased with the results, especially with how the Aquila turned out. Cant wait to get stuck into the other vehicles that are in the army now 🙂

finished off the painting on the at ease squad today and very pleased with it. The whole force together looks great so will have to get an army shot together over the weekend. In the mean time I’ll be getting stuck into the Basalisk, all those flat surfaces are begging for something special…

Death Korp of the Kreig update

Another update on the Death Korp of the Kreig commission, below are some WIP pics of bothe the Death Korp at ease squad and “Mons Meg” the Armageddon Pattern Basalisk.

The at ease squad will be getting a bit more work on them this evening, primarily adding the red to the armour plates, so you may see another update from later on. With the Basalisk I have hit a bit of an inspiration wall. To bring it into cohesion with the rest of the force I will be looking to add some red but am unsure of the placement. I’m certain the barrel itself will be red (historians now believe that Mons Meg was painted red in her day, so fits quite well), but unsure if it needs to go anywhere else. Time to have a chat to the client methinks.

Received the first unit of the next batch of Death Korp yesterday, and am eager to get crackin. It’s the at ease unit, which is very diorama-ish, but a very lovely set of models. I also have a basecoated basilisk, named “Mons Meg”, to paint and will treat you to a WIP picture of that tomorrow.
