Someone in a recent tournament I was in snapped a picture of my DKOK, and since I don't own a working camera, I thought I could put it online.
This is basically a rushed 10 man squad for a bigger tournament (which I actually got the best painted army award in... just thought it's pretty odd).
I did this in about 15 minutes + the priming and building. I hope you guys enjoy it
(I'll put up a better painted one when I get my camera fixed)

Your pictures are so good, even the spam bots want in!

Great DKoK!

I sure wish I could do glow-effects

It's really simple actually... I achieved the one on the plasmagun by simple drybrushing

Lol spambot. I think it latched on the deth word in DKoK.

Nice work, although I think a better photo angle would be so much better so that we can see them more!

I could always use my famous phone to take the pictures...

15 minutes?! they would take me about 15 hours! They're really good however long they took - or do you mean it took you 15 minutes to to download the picture? Love the plasma gun glow. These are some of FW's best mins imho.

god damn that is some nice OSL.

10 minutes to paint, 5 minutes on the 2 plasma guns with OSL on them... the other one isn't visible however, because I didn't take the pics

How on earth did you do that OSL so quickly?

- Edited. Please don't respond to spam, insaniak -



Anywho, your osl lighting must be pretty heavy dry brush, because I know dry brush as a light highlight.

Well... I basically start by drybrushing with a slightly moist brush, so that you get more colour.
Then I just blend the colours into a lighter pallet, and dry the paintbrush a bit more. Finally, I highlight the model with the brightest colour wanted on the model.

Really nice Death Korps there.

When you fix your camera be sure to snap a closeup of that plasma dude.

Both would be great!

Now that does sound quite easy. I'm really impressed with the quality considering the short amount of time it took.

I'm far too slow myself. Took me 2 weeks to do a squad of ten Cygar Trencher commando's.
