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:

Full Pathfinder Squad

Here’s the first finished Pathfinder squad:

I’m aiming for a 500pt force to start, and this will include the other 5 pathfinders as well as a box of Fire Warriors. To lead I’m thinking an Ethereal or a Cadre Fireblade, but it all depends on which I think will be the nicest to paint (Cadre Fireblade methinks :D).

Tau Spotted!

With the allure of the new codex I have decided to go ahead with a slow burn Tau army. Need to keep myself disciplined on this though. I will only be getting new models once the ones I have are finished, and will only be getting them to the table once painted. It’s my hope that this will ensure the whole lot gets done in the end. So without further ado here’s some pics:

Battlesuit

Battlesuit

Just a basic battlesuit here, I was tempted to go forgeworld but the pricetag really throws me off and I think the GW kit looks great with a few minor alterations.

Pathfinders

Pathfinders

The new Pathfinder kit has to be one of the best kits I’ve seen for a while. £16 from my local retailer and you get 10 excellent looking pathfinders, a recon drone and two other drones of your choice. Bargain! Admittedly the there isn’t much posability(its a word :D) to them without a lot of work, but I don’t think its even necessary unless you where going to have loads of the blighters.

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.

Incoming!: More Death Korp

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.
