Death Korps of Krieg Heavy tank attackent

 

The club will have a scenariodriven 40k Megabattle and I took the role as a heavy tank attachment with my Machariuses, led by a tank commander in a Russ, supported by a Russ with tracer rounds, an Engineseer and a Trojan. The force is flanked by a unit of Deathriders to pick out enemy antitank units trying to ambush them.

It looks like a fun army to play, lets see if it can perform. Wish me luck.

Death Korps of Krieg Officers

 

I felt that I needed a couple of new officers for my Death Korps of Krieg with the new edition.
The miniatures are kitbashed with the torso and basic helmet from FW Death Korps but the rest from Napoleonic French miniatures.
These might have gotten a bit out of hand, a little to fancy for my liking with all the plumes and the hussar jacket on one of them but I think they will work. These higher officers have the rank to have some more freedom of what uniforms to wear then the standard rank and file troopers.
At least it will make them stand out.

I painted them with rather mutet colours to tone down the fancy headgear or the hussar jacket and such.

In the game they can be used as Death Korps Marshals.

The first one were given French Napoleonic legs, a coat and the plume from a carabinier.
I think the arm with the sabre is from a hussar.
I think I like this officer the most of them.

This officer were given the headplumes from a vetereran curasier, and a hussar jacket.
To tone down the jacket I painted it green.
On him I tried with two different object source light, one from the power sword and one from his digital note book.
Im not totally happy with this but it will do.

Walls for my Turnip28 village

I made some walls to my Turnip28 themed village.

They are made of styrophome that I glued to a thin masonit base and later covered with a mixture of woodglue, plaster and sand and a top of cardboard for the tiles. And later painted them with an airbrush to get that nice transitional colourvariations and then some weathering effects and some flock.

Here with some miniatures for scale.

And here with some buildings and more soldiers in the village. I really like how the aesthetics turned out for this and wants to make even more terrain in this style in the future.

40k special scenario from Ambush Alley, AAR

 

My friend Håkan held a special scenario from Ambush Allay, an Falluha scenario but with 40k rules and miniatures.

An elite force of Astartes and Astra militarum karskins are to assault an Renegade guard held town and take out and secure a power generator. 

We as the attackers had a small but elite force given to us for this mission, there were a couple of "hot spots" were Renegade forces could spawn new troops and a building with two doors that were the main objective were we had to secure both the openings.

Renegades tries to hold the building but the Astartes have them attacked from two sides.

The Astartes clears the building of the last Renegades.

An Valkyrie adds some much appreciated air support when its make a strafing run.  

It was a really fun and different scenario. I can really see us play more of Ambush Alleys scenarios in different games.
It was fun to see the marines really be as tough as the fluff makes them out to be.
