I bow to your imagination my friend that is an awsome name for the little beast. It will definatly be putting H.A.R.K.E.R. on one of its panels.

Marching on Vraks (Krieg! Glory Awaits! P36)
This thread is going to cover the progress of two armies, maybe more, taking part in the horrific siege of Vraks. I will be completing a mech Death Korps list with plenty of armoured support! Next up in the thread will be a nice air cav Elysian list from Flayedone.
Ive spent the last few weeks messing around with basing materials and spending lots of money! I nearly have the enture force in boxes. Just need to get three chimeras and two mars alpha hulls at the meet and Im ready to rumble.
I want my bases to look like wet mud, plenty of different colour variation. I want to make some special bases with mine field markers and barb wire on, perhaps an odd one with a mine on too!
Here are some tests! Mixes of soils, sands, wall filler, plaster and general oddments!

I think I will be proceeding with this one. Soil, varish, various washes of greens and some spot varnishes too.

More to follow soon, I will post some snaps of the horde of forgeworld bags and cheap/free tanks FW sent me.
For Krieg!

Well I managed to get a bit more done this morning before work! Stocks and grips painted, stripes painted and plasma coils just getting an ink wash and then gloss. Its burnt melta barrels and chipped helmets tuesday morning wednesday morning.To be honest, Zeus is a faster painter than Tom. And he's a mythical god.
Nice work on those few dude, and I am surprised. You usually do much better with your painting on your time off. Now, snap to it!

Thanks mate. Im loving this now. So close to finishing them! Argh!
Is it going to be camo painted?
Dan
Awesome
if I was as good at doing stuff as I was at thinking about it I would go far! Perhaps I can just come up with stuff and then you can build and paint them? Would save me a lot of effort in all seriousness though, glad you like it!Your speed now is putting us all to shame. You're definitely a binge painter!
So Iron Within, Iron Without was more to do with the amount of boltgun metal that ended up on your person that anything else?
I wish I could find the time / motivation to paint like that, I really do.
Still things are finally moving for me in the house situation, and once we get moved into a new place of our own I may have a spare room to convert into my nerd room (PC, Miniatures etc), so after that I might actually start painting properly!

Its just about focusing on the end. If you dont paint them, they will never be painted.
Thats great! I should be moving in with the lady very soon, we get the keys this coming Friday! Instead of a nerd room, Im having a nerd garage! The 3rd bed is going to be an office and studio, but John has a room that will be better suited to painting.
Anyhow, after two weeks, I have transformed my army of black, cork balancing, resin bods............
.......into mud splashed veterans, Death Korp ready to sell there lives!
Im pleased. Im going to add a mine field marker to the large base and maybe another couple, that will be sunday day time.
Im likely to have a break now until late November early December, as Im very sure the house will take up the majority of my time.

Thanks mate, I think the kharki pulls them away from being boring. Its that flash of light colour.
The first few days nearly killed me, so much needed painting in such detail! I really enjoyed them towards the end, I enjoyed doing all the armour and the rifles.
Todays efforts or 'Who's marching into a minefield!'
Plastic card with the FW decals.
With paint and Klear washes.
Im REALLY pleased with these. I am considering doing a few more through the squads but Im weary of over doing it.

*EDIT*
A close up for good luck!

You could always go with the classics, I believe a certain Dante's line "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here" would hit the spot with a certain sense of theatre...
Flying over mine fields is definitely the best way to cross them! I look forward to seeing the tanks - I was going to suggest maybe making a mine flail for some of them, but after seeing an (admittedly quite good) conversion someone has done, I think it would alter the profile of the tank too much:
So I'll allow you to not do that
Is that the £50 set with the Ryza turret, mars alpha hull, tank commander trench rails and filters? Definitely a nice piece of kit!
It is a little on the large side!![]()
So I'll allow you to not do that
Yup, Ive got three of those beasts + loads of extras for the chimeras. Thanks Forge World! (Kuffy understands).
