Hi again:
I showed you my Kraftrüstungtruppen in http://forum.backofbeyond.de/viewtopic.php?t=111
Now, I'd like to present you Herr Otto Rhino :D , evil genius behind this MkII suit of armour:
(http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/6048/doktor1am1.jpg)
The secret factory where the KR suits are being tested is well guarded by dozens of veteran troopers like these (sorry for the bad pic quality) from Bolt Action
(http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/4481/nazis1he9.jpg)
And Behold Baron Hans von Richtofen!, relative to the famous Red Baron. A prussian noble whose personal fortune has let him progress in the Nazi Party. He is financing research on the Power Armour Suits, but his goals are much more sinister (as a good pulp villain must be). The guy in the background is Helmut Funker. Captain of the Sigfried: the air fortress of the Baron.

These guys are the personal guards of the Baron. They are wearing sten machine guns because the Baron likes their firepower but thinks that MP40s are too noisy for a gentleman... Their black helmets with silver eagles are a homage to the venom soldiers of "Return to Castle Wolfenstein".

Of course, they are WWI Sturmtruppen, but their boss is a retro Baron, so their disguise suits them well :lol:
And it is said that the Baron, a fighter during WWI, made an strange discovery after his unit took a Canadian position in Flanders in 1915... He discovered, among the ruins of a medic post, the notes about some unholy experiments made by a certain Herbert West...
After the war he made contact with Victor von Frankenstein, grandson of a famous scientist who worked with unspeakable things on the XIX century. With the money of the Reich, the notes of West, and the genius of Frankenstein, he is searching for an army of Neubelebentruppen to put an end to war and take control of the Reich...
And a partisan cell in Yugoslavia took photos of certain strange things near a Syldavian castle...

Enough for today!! More pics soon...! :mrgreen:

Great figures and a great backstory for having them all together. I can't wait to see the inhuman experimmennts that come out of that lab!

Well done - but I don't like the stormbolter, it's too dominant and too clearly 40K. Try a MG42-twin-conversion or twin Ork Stubbas, they look similar enough to the Bergmann-MP to fit.

Hallo KeyanSark
Be careful the forum came from grermany and it is not allowed to show Nazi symbol`s her in germany .
It is not a problem for me but maby for the admin .
It is possible , for the admin,to get trouble with the police .
But now to the Mini´s I like the way you work with the Space M. the only thing I would change is the weapon the stormbolter is to much scifi for me I would use a MG .
The Story is also cool hope to see more .
Grimm

very nice.
Funny thing is...I have nearly the same Background. Mine is Erprobungsgruppe 9
With so many evil masterminds in Germany of the Pulp Era....victory must be ours.....
Muahahahaha ( evil laughter )
And now its time for my Berliner Weisse und Bockwurst !

I knew that, but I didn't remembered the forum was German :oops:
Nobody said anything in the KR post so I thought there were no problems... I can censor the pics if needed...

In fact is an MG48 with twin-coolant system embedded for higher rate of fire
:mrgreen: . Another invention of Herr Rhino.
That's what happen when you don't have any suitable spare piece near... :lol:

The stuff looks incredible! Great background too.
-
Great stuff, KeyanSark, really like it, cool figs and cool story! Who makes the cultist mini?

Hmm..honestly never thought about this.. the symbol isn't a problem for me, that's just a game, but Grimm could be right, maybe it would be better not to show that like here
-
I don't know who was the manufacturer of the zombie monk... It was a miniature my brother bought some 10 years ago and I re-discovered it cleaning the house and painted it. Maybe someone here can give us a clue...
I deleted the pic as suggested. maybe you should also delete it from the reply...
-
OK, thanks :)

I could have sworn that yesterday I posted these pics... Maybe I clicked on preview rather than submit... However here they are again... A .45 Adventure Solo Game
First, a closeup of Helmut. Getting that blue tone was a real pain, but I like the final result. The pic is about 4 or 5 times bigger that the real thing so the colour transition are not so visible
(http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/25/helmutvd4.jpg)
My german trooper on a better pic. These uniforms are historically acurate (not like the richtofen guards)
(http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4033/nazis2hq6.jpg)
The game with the baddies on "Guard Duty". Richtofen, escorted by Helmut, inspects the KR MkII prototype. Two guards on the roof of the bunker watch the scene
(http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/3679/testas3.jpg)
Richtofen leaves while Herr Otto starts the activation protocols (that is, loading fuel and starting engines :lol:
CENSORED
Meanwhile, Captain Jack Hudson, from the 7th Rocket Corps try to sneak past the guards to take some photos of the armour (his jet pack is hidden in a nearly forest). Will he make it?

very nice! the engine/ammunititon/etc., what's the manufacturer?
-
Those are old GW WH40K accessories... They are selling them again now on their new "Cities of Death"-mania. The bunker is an old card building included in a very, very old white dwarf magazine
-
Thanks for the great pictures and nice report !
Björn

I built that exact same bunker (though I just used the template and did not use the actual printed piece). After 10 years, it's still in one piece. Surprised me, it being cardstock and all.

New fresh miniatures, three germans from Bolt Action:
(http://img350.imageshack.us/img350/8532/nazis3wn5.jpg)
This is a FeldGendarme. I tried his insignia to be as true to the original ones as possible (although the photo does not show them). He is examining the papers our heroes gave him trying to enter the usual base without making too much noise...
(http://img334.imageshack.us/img334/8234/feldgendarmecb2.jpg)
And this is Fritz, the Sentinel... Damned to be commando-fodder, sniper-fodder, or whatever-fodder... When I saw him in the BA catalog I knew I had to bought the pack :lol:

Poco a poco iré acabando mi colección, aun me faltan muchos...

Great pictures. I'm guessing your German soldiers are the typical "not so bright, the allies-can't-get-us-here, a smoke and drink won't hurt anything" kind?
:D

You got it!!! A pulp story won't work either! :lol:

Great, well done, Keyan :)
I like Bolt Action work, miniatures with character!
-
nice pics I see you play or played 40k

Great stuff. 8)

From over in the shadows outside the chateau, an SAS commando is whispering: "Pst. Pst! Hast du feuer?"
"Hmm," thinks our sentry. "The general's driver must have snuck away for a quick smoke. Well, what's the harm in lighting the fellow's cigarette?"

Great stuff :)

Kuhl!
Just one comment (several come to mind) the sinister elements are communicated very convincingly in your painting style, i.e. "The Corpse". I like the way in which your shading and 'layering' gives visual 'clues' to the depth in the sculpt, but also a 'tag' or 'connotation' that says: "do not mess with this guy".
Dangerous 'beasties' in nature have cues that give off a 'warning' also.

Nice! Just one thing, though. The eagle and the 'scroll' on the FG gorget were painted in luminous paint so they should have a yellow-green tint to them rather than metallic.
-
Wow those are some great pictures and I love the backstory :)

Good advice! I'll try to retouch that part.

Sorry! Just double-checked. The eagle and the buttons were in luminous paint but only the lettering on the scroll is luminous. The scroll itself is dark grey. Unless you're a very, very good painter, I don't think you'll be able to paint 'Feldgendarmerie' in that tiny space!
