More knights

First "Iron Priest"

AKA Dark Angels "Lion Company" Techmarine on Warhorse

Quite happy with the result, need to make another one, some basics and some HQs now. Might pimp it out some more with purity seals or something to hide the chaosy thingys.

STRAKEN FOR DKoK

I need myself a Straken model for my Death Korp of Kriegs army (and an Astropath and Officer of the Fleet as well...).

Alternatives.
1: Original model - Probably not, doesn't fit and is quite ugly.
2: Give an officer FW model the required equipment - might work, boring though
3: Saint Celestine, Plasma Pistol instead of bird, Flayed One claw instead of Sword. Shotgun slung over shoulder. No flapping cloak. Girls are cuter <3
4: True-scale Marine conversion of an Dark Angels ally with the right equipment (I pretend my DKoKs are an Imperial Guard company under direct command of my Dark Angels)

Astropath and Officer of the Fleet will probably be normal troopers with servoskulls or something, dunno :/ Maybe the dude with binoculars could be an Astropath count-as.

Need grenadiers for the whole squad as well, so we'll see.

Space KNIGHTS!

DARK ANGELS KNIGHT FORCE

Been working on some Space Wolves ehrmm I mean Dark Angels Knight Force. Been dying to convert up some Marines on Chaos Steeds. I think they look awesome and are probably kinda fun to play. Some Rhino walls for cover, the rest is non-mech.

Dunno if any of em is any good. Time will tell I guess.

Finding models...

Snipers and medic Catgirl! Not sure at all if these will fit into a Death Korp Army, but they are all kinda cute. Maybe they can be objectives (atm I have the lone FW pilot as only objective marker for my 1k games).

Stepping up!

Death Korps of Krieg to 1750!

A little unsure on what to bring, have been toying some with the following...

1750 #1

Company Command Squad w. 4 Meltaguns, Astropath
-Chimera (ML, HFlamer)

Veterans w. 3 Meltaguns x3
-Chimera (ML, HFlamer) x3
Veterans w. 3 Flamers
-Chimera (ML, HFlamer)

Vendetta, HeavyB x2
Vendetta

Leman Russ Demolisher w. Plasma Cannon Sponsons x2

-Chimera (ML, HFlamer)

Guardswoman NATYA

Veterans w. 3 Meltaguns x2
-Chimera (ML, HFlamer) x2
Infantry Platoon
-Command w. 3 Plasma Guns
-Infantry squad w. 1 Flamer x2

1750 #3

Company Command Squad w. 3 Meltaguns, Astropath, Medic, Carapace, Bodyguard x2, Straken
-Chimera (ML, HFlamer)

Guardswoman NATYA

Veterans w. 3 Meltaguns x3

Vendetta x3

Leman Russ Demolisher
Hydra x2

Infantry Flamers will ride the Vendettas, Straken will punish anyone coming to close.

I will probably have everything painted up for some customization (have5RRs+Commisar on horse, but they are really bad). Extras I will have: Valkyrie parts (magnets), different Russ turrets, maybe 2 Manticores and 2 Medusas, 1 priest.

Guardsman MARBO has a twin sister!?

Marbo is some sissy catachan treehugger. My DKoK army don't like him! Let me introduce you to his female counterpart, a girl from another game.Her name is Ilsa von X but I like to call her Guardswoman NATYA. As soon as she finds some paint, she will team up with the other gas mask wielding badasses of my army.

Now, where to find DKoK themed Straken, Medic and maybe a Sniper or two.

Maybe I can have some use of those cute cute Infinity models...

Death Korps of Krieg

Have been playing a few games at 1k with my guards now under the - for me - edition, the 5th one. Have been going quite good.

Few lessons I've learned. Plasma is good when you can't spam
melta against MC in your lines. Though as you are all in your cars, that is not much of a problem. Though Bring it down! rapid firing plasma is quite nice! Though as 5e made Plasma quite pricey I will only field the 4 ones I still have because the DKoK weapon sets are fucking expensive.

1: Melta is very good.
2: Vendettas are troublesome to maneouver but very good to draw fire, fire lascannons and swop down to contest objectives.
3: Hydra is sweet for 75pts
4: People waste ALOT of fire at that Russ, front 14 is tough
5: Orders are really good, especially on CCS, easy to forget em though

Things I can't decide: how many flamers on veterans is really needed when almost every car has a Heavy Flamer.

Is Plasma Cannons worthy it on Demolishers?

I'll probably buy an Executioner tower or have my Demolishers 'naked' with a Heavy Flamer, for some cheap AV14.

Deathwing are the true Space Marines

Deathwing

Deathwing along with all-Harlquins is the army style which I prefer (well tank companies and strongely themed lists are always fun as well...).

Towering Monastic Templars wearing huge suits of Terminator Armor, cloaked in robes, moving through a hail of bullets, purposefully moving onwards. That is Space Marines in my eyes. Dark Angels First Company, elite of the elite. If the new codex gives me Terminators wielding Relic Blades, in swirling robes and cloaks, I'll be one happy geek.

Deathwing has always held a special place in my heart.

4e, had the army on the picture painted up, spammed double Assault Cannons, had some Raiders and a few Missile/Las dreads.

New DA codex comes along, no more double AssCannons and Deathwing are supposed to be DS turn 1, even better with those bikers. I want an elite terminator infantry army!

I quit 40k when my Eldar army doesn't seem very good in 5e and I sell my DW. And Dark Elves seems cuter over there, by the fantasy shelf.

40k returns! What can I say, one of those hobbies that are very on and off, always creeps back.

I decide to run all true-scale Deathwing Terminators and meanwhile build up a very themed Eldar list (whilst I wait for FW to wake up and give me an all Harlequin army in delicious resin!)

Though somewhere in the middle I bought some Death Korps and Guards have been the way ever since. At 1k and building strong atm!

Anyway, the point with this Deathwing rumblings are that I found a sculptur to build me some true-scale Termies, but then he bailed out :/ I'm still waiting, because my next Deathwing (and Harlequins as well) army will be fucking awesome. 1: Terminators on foot is the shit. 2: True-scale is the only scale that matters ;)

Old Nids

My old Nids, back in 4th Ed when I ran 6 Fexes, 2 Tyrants, some Stealers and a few Raveners. Sold them and now I kind of miss them.

Took a spin with the current codex and was glad when I found out that I wouldn't be using any of my old models anyways.

Something like this at 1750:

Prime Warrior

10 Termagants x2
Tervigon, Catalyst x2

3 Hive Guard x2
2 Zoanthropes

3 Tyrannofexes, Rupture

It's a pity that the Tervigons and Hormagaunts both are appealing choices, I like my armies small and elite.

Dreams slipping out...

Getting back into 40k, it's time for a place to post some pictures!

Based and brushed some paint onto an old gaming board. Though I doubt I will play any at home anyways...


Old Tau, see if they'll be shown some love or if I'll focus on my current project: Death Korps of Krieg!
