This is probably going to be a slow blog.

After doing my over the top Renaissance marines that most of you are probably familiar with I decided I wanted to go in the complete opposite direction. I'm doing tons and tons of research on how realistic or military modelers are doing things... and boy have I learned a lot of new techniques and products and ways of doing things and I'm chomping at the bit to get to use them. So I sold my house and my car and my wife left me and I had to put my dog 'duke' down and after all that I had enough money to buy death korps. I wanted to go all out with the theme too so I bought trench resin bases for everything as well. I have tons of IG vehicles and about 55 DKoK. (I'm running vets... it's a money thing!) Now I'm probably going to paint all the bases first as I know the color of dirt for the most part! Where I'm stuck is I don't think I want to do the dark gray/green of the normal DKoK's. I'm debating on green solders with green and dark green tiger striped camo vehicles or tan solders with tan and brown tiger striped camo vehicles. I'm leaning towards tan and brown with rusty metal on everything. I'll buy some of the vraks books and the fw masterclass before deciding for sure.

In this blog I'll document my progress as well as my learn as I go techniques I've been reading about for the past 3 months in preporations for this project.

The gray bases are from Dragonforge and the ivory ones are from Iron halo. Trenchs

Hope this army turns out as well as I plan...

I KNEW there was something i forgot to do when i picked up by DKoK stuff.. now where did those dogs get to... But no, Really, Im looking forward to see what you do with such fantastic minis. Those bases look killer to, even unpainted, I might have to look into some of those too.. though id need to do them like an arctic tundra tench line.. to go along with my off white color of their great coats. Yay for arctic troopers!

**Oshunai**

Instantly subscribed. I await results with interest.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

I like the idea of an alternate colour scheme, perhaps something like this(well like this green in anycase) :

found it on the CMON, I think it looks pretty cool.
I'll be watching this one, can't wait to see how it develops.

**endtransmission**

At times I wish I'd stumped up for a DKOK force. Looking forward to reading how this progresses. Good luck!

**MeanGreenStompa**

Will watch this with interest.

**Tauzor**

Whooo hooo more shiny

By the way, the cash I paid for your wife, I am not sure I got the best deal... want her bacK ?

**SilverMK2**

Great painter + great models + great bases?

What is not to like? Best of luck on this project, I look forward to seeing the end (and indeed all the middle) results.

I know it will rock.

**Shadowbrand**

I love the base, and the way the helmet is painted 10 out of 10. <3

**model collector**

Wow hope you can put your surreal like skills to good use=I want updates!

**dashrendar**

IN! and one of these days I will get to see your stuff in person.

**littleboyblues**

Life stuff ugh... anywho I've OFFICIALLY started on my Dkok! Sorry its taken this long. I assembled and primed my commander tonight. He will be my test model to figure out the paint scheme for my infantry. I'm waiting for my forge world master class book to see how I would like to do the vehicles. So enjoy and I hope to start posting in this log again consistently.

**MeanGreenStompa**

such a bloody nice figure, even it's base is segsah.

**The Good Green**

That's an amazing figure. what scale is that?

**Ronin**

Wow, I love the DKOK. Cant wait to see more.

**IAmTheWalrus**

Awesome commander, that model just has so much character. Also, good call on the Sam Adams.

**Empchild**

I love that commissar from games day. I really wish I had kept one for myself instead of selling all of them but hey live and learn.

**LunaHound**

northern /k/ommando ? O_O

**littleboyblues**

HAZZAH done for the night.
Horse on test figure 75% done.
I jut need to touch up here and there and do the details and then start on all the packs and such.

(also I don't have a light box and its dark in the house today so I had to use the flash... :( the contrast on his skin is not that bad. I promise!)

**the_emperors_renegade**

When I first looked at that commander i didn't see him on his horse on that mad base...all i saw was this:

**FoxPhoenix135**

I'm in. The horse, even in it's WIP status, has me sold. Dkok armies are sweet, and after seeing your SM army, I expect greatness from this thread. (Your BFG ships were awesome too, btw.)

**gretar**

God i love you littleboyblues ..

**Tek**

Will be watching this with interest. Keep it up.

**physcosamatic**

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

**SilverMK2**

I have to say that is one of my favorite models. And I like the lighter coloured horses, most of the ones I have seen have been a deep chestnut colour.

**exponent**

Following this thread with interest! First picture is a beautiful sight to behold!

**littleboyblues**
