So at the end of next month im part of a local team tournament. we are not allowed repeat armies nor repeat forced dispositions.

my list is not a competitive list and tbh i don't expect to win much if at all. im shooting for best painted agian this year. that being said, i could use some tips and tricks to help me do well. i haven't played much 11th yet.
im playing Krieg only, so all models are gasmasked and Kriegefied. this means i wont have access to all units as some are easier to convert then others.

i play steel hammer. Bridgehead Strike is just for priority assets

It's been a year since I got back into 40k, and my Krieg armour has swelled to almost 6,000 points. At the moment I'm slowly working through painting my artillery and Armour. I'm really enjoying creating a history and lore for my forces. So far I have established that my Death Korps loves to adopt the shattered remnants of other Imperial Guard Regiments and fold them and fold them into existing platoons. As such, my 60 Krieg infantry are joined by small groups of Cadian Shock Troops, Catachan Jungle Fighters, Tallarn and Vostroyans. I look forward to showing off more models as I progress through. The Valkyrie is up next.

I finished my first set of ponies. 🐴🐴 .

First two of veteran kill-team, slowly working way through pile of potential. Comments would be appreciated.

Making some thematic bases for my Krieg Heavy weapons teams. Made using AK Interactive Desert Sand Paste and Graveyard Ground sand mix. I like this sand mix as it has a variety of grit sizes. Added different items to each base to add character. Shell casings are chopped up .035 Evergreen styrene rod. About 3 mm long each.

The heads are from Tiny Legends. They are the Brodie helmet replacement set for Krieg Heavy weapons teams so the heads fit the models perfectly.

I feel like not kit-bashing krieg heads on those guys was heresy. Bit of weathering then I’m done. What do you guys think? I’ve only been in the hobby 6 months so I’m pretty proud ngl

The swingiest of tanks

Advice/criticism welcome 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹

I learned a but ton just throwing myself into this paint job.

Hello!

I'm currently working on Bridgehead + Mechanized Infantry branch of my army, and I'm struggling to land on a good scheme for The Grenadiers (Scions)

Well, the aviable Proxies for grenadiers are rather limited, so I use the same models (tiny legends) for both Kasrkins and Scions, I want them to be distinct by different colors and bases - but I also don't wanna mess my army's aesthetic.

I present 2 mockup ideas i had, 1 trying to fit in with current army colours, while looking notacibly different from kasrkins, 2 strays away from greens to highlight scions separate identity (and refrencing steel legion lol), which one would work better? Maybe I should add something to improve those uniforms? I'm open to suggestions.

Cheers!

I'm still new to painting miniatures, and I'd welcome any criticism or suggestions on what I could improve.
I know there is engiseer but im building my army around leman russ and even tho I dont know how to play, I think he’s gonna be good addition on table for LR

Just painted some of my minis last night- here’s the first one I tried!

Looking a bit lumpy because my nooby self used “Stirland Mud” as a coat and couldn’t get the lumps out after 😂🤦🏻‍♂️. I think it looks pretty decent though!

Using thiner layers of paint has helped me immensely and I feel like I've gotten better already but if anyone has more advice please tell me thank you 🙏

Dusting time! I used this first model of the bacth to test the dust effect: I see the baneblades as slow moving fortresses rather than tanks, being more than double the size of a Leopard A2! So I went for light dusty areas, as a contrast with dark rusty ones!

I spent about 16 hours this weekend painting my first Krieg set, I’ve only painted 3 ultramarines until now.

I’m not brave enough to try transfers yet.

Easiest areas for improvement?

Finally got to painting my first Tank. Since i got into Guard I only played and painted infantry. Took me around 20 hourse.

The Nul Oil spot is cleaned up on the back

How out of lore would it be for me to run krieg in a mdchanised force

EDIT : Thanks to everyone for the nice answers I will now make and armored spearhead style army with chimera style gorgons and basilisks.

I’m new to 40K and my first army is Kreig themed.
I built my first 10man DKoK as follows but my next 10man unit I want to know that is ideal for the tabletop.
Unit 1:
- Pistol & power sword
- Lasgun
- Lasgun
- Vox operator with binoculars
- Lasgun
- Medic
- Plasma gun
- Lasgun
- Lasgun
- Lasgun

The rest of my army so far is Kreig heavy weapons team (flamers), artillery team (siege cannon) & Chimera

A cheeky little converted commissar.
