(P3 Leman Russ annihilator.) Death korps of Krieg.

[voltan]

My first thought when I looked at the picture was, “I wonder if that guy is going to lose a leg when that thing recoils.” And you answered the question admirably! It’s a cool looking model, as with the earliest figures, quite businesslike.

Yeah it is still a very dangerous place for them to sit, but better than replacing your gunner every shot. 

[voltan]

Still needs varnishing but a finished Forgeworld hellhound kit, I've been enjoying doing vehicles more than infantry and weapon teams at the moment which is why things have slowed down even more than usual. Even thinking about painting up ye old Baneblade kit for this project, it'll be the third paintjob it's had but I might finish it this time. 

[voltan]

No painting but I have converted some more units.
First up a squad of engineers using some, possibly, genestealer hybrid shotguns, the main trouble was finding arms to fit especially with the chest plates getting in the way, but a bit of putty fills the gap.
And after that a squad of death riders, nice and easy head swaps and they're all done.

[Frostie]

Nice, I want a Krieg army in 15mm

[voltan]

I think that's a madder idea than what I'm doing, good work.

[voltan]

Continuing the current system of building stuff but never painting it, I've converted a platoon standard.
Was going to make a pennant or something for it but with the big topper I might leave it as is.

Trench Crusade is attacking from all directions

The last mini looks pretty characterful.

[Icewind Dale]

GW will release new Krieg minis soon. Then you will have more brothers in arms.

[voltan]

Yup, saw that, I'm looking forward to them coming out, also tempted to add the Heresy Valdor and Infernus tanks.

[voltan]

A whole pile, well small heap, of minis this time. First up a Commissar to accompany the company command squad, first resin figure for the army as well, got a squad of grenadiers to build too.
After that there's the Quartermaster and his medics (servitors but not servitors), this was originally going to be a priest but was reassigned after I started working on the Krieg siege regiment list. And I make no apologies. 
Last up the Leman Russ Vanquisher, used to accompany some Valhallans till they got sold, needed a bit of work to tidy it up, but left the rough spots to make it look used.

[armchairgeneral]

Excellent progress and painting so far.

Please excuse my ignorance but though I have never played Kill Team I got the impression it was a skirmish game but your force so far with three tanks and a number of heavy weapons seems quite major for a skirmish game or can you go big with Kill Team?

[voltan]

Yeah, kill team is a skirmish game, I'm just using the figures from the Death Korps kill team set to build an army, combined with other bits and pieces. After the starter box with them and the Ork kommandos was released I was able to get a load at reasonable prices, less chance of that now with the new sets that are coming out and all the old resin going OOP.

[voltan]

Quick catch up platoon command squad and the second squad, only 2 more heavy weapon squads to paint and a tactical squad to build and paint and the platoons all done.    mmm, maybe.

[voltan]

I wanted to build something without adding too much to the painting backlog, I also wondered if the left over annihilator parts from the Malcador kit would fit in an original version Leman Russ turret, seeing as there's a few knocking about that never got built.

Well, the answer's yes, but it would have been easier scratch building a mantlet with the amount of work it took to make it fit. Not sure what to do with it now, really I could do with a spare hull to stick it on, but as there isn't any, guess I'll just have to keep it as an optional turret for one of the other Russ'.

*Edited because some idiot forgot to add the photos.*

Gotta love the Korps! Nice work.
