The Valks look kind of surreal to me just 'cause the design looks so modern compared to vehicles like basilisks and Leman Russes yet its so heavily weathered like all the other vehicles.

Although no DKOK vehicle should be exempt from any form of grit IMO, keep up the awesome work!

WOW! amazing, i love the painting how easy is it to put together a completly forgeworld army as i want to put together a Elysian drop troop army

THIS IS GUARD PORN! I love it! Keep up the good work. Love your choice of tanks so far, seems to give a nice theme to the army regardless of the DKOK theme.

Wow that shot of all your armor on the table is nice. Love the look they all have, especially when they are all together.

Awesome Dude!!!!

Guard Porn?...... Whatever. Very nice, consistent look on all of the vehicles.

Very nice mate, Puts my guard army to shame !

Can't wait to see more it's very inspirational may have to go back and change my guard army

So My first two vendettas are almost done. Little tid bits here and there. I'm hoping to have them done by the end of the week. Enjoy!

Whats up with the guard porn?!

Vendetta looks great, base is awesome as well. Keep up the good work!

I see a Shiner in the background! My favorite beer!

The model, the base, the everything looks amazing as something thats amazing!

Awesome, how'd you paint the Lascannon barrels? Like that burnt look.

your skills are amazing........

Damn that Valk is sweet......

You no doubt are going to do the DKOK models justice!!!

What look are you going for on the infantry, mud splattered WWI look??

Love the base!

Any decisions on the color schemes? For my troopers I used a dark green backround accented with a tannish-yellow tigerstripe scheme. Maybe not the best for Kreig... Still, food for thought!

I love the base of that vendetta!!!

Where are those guard porn actresses?

I demand hand painted nose art.

ah!


aahh!


How?!


Ah!

I painted the lascannon Barrel tips with shining gold for a base. Then from the front tip 75% was washed with red. Then 50% was washed with blue. Then 25% was washed with black. I then glazed the whole barrel with my majik sauce. (majik sauce = Acrylic floor varnish semi gloss, Vallejo Smokey ink, Vallejo purple ink, vallejo flesh ink, vallejo black, Vellejo brown violet. Mostly its acrylic floor varnish though. I mix to how I like it so I don't have exact ratios.)

I've decided on a brown uniform for my dkok's. Haven't got all the details picked out yet was my test infantry model isn't done. but the coats will the brown and all the metals and armor will be heavily rusted.

I won't be adding murals to my DKOK's as I want them to be far more militaristic than my marines.

And Thanks to everyone.

I have good news and bad news on this project. My tournament I prepare for is in 6 weeks a combination of life factors prevents me from having the time to finish my army within my goal range. I've been working 6-7 days a week because one of my co-workers had surgery a month ago and hasn't been able to be back yet. The game store I get all my stuff from is having trouble with his rep or some such something. I am short a couple of tanks and he won't say if he'll be able to get them in anytime soon. I don't want to rush the paint job on this army as I have too much time and money invested in it already. So I'm putting this project on hold. I'm pretty let down that I won't be able to finish my army because of factors out of my control. That's life I suppose... For this tournament season I'll be running my marines again. (Patior Angelica) So hop on over to that thread I'll be updating it instead of this one. I'll be modifying my army to be run as either wolves or blood angels. I dunno yet. I WILL RETURN TO MY DKOK'S! That's a promise and the good news is that I'll be afforded more time so I won't have to rush the paint jobs and this should allow for a better looking army for the 2011 season.

Oh no! darn it. Are you telling me that I have to go from looking at really pretty imperial guard to really pretty space marines??? What are you doing to me?

The first time someone I don't even know has made me genuinely unhappy.

I'm Back!

Anywho This time with Colonel Stra.... Ananiel! A 3rd Company Dark angel Sergent. He'll be leading my Dkok's into battle. A long time ago I fell in love with Migsula's first Alpheriaus as did many of us. I've wanted to do one for a long time and this pretty much gave me the chance with Colonel Strakens Marine like stat line and weaponry. For the people that don't know the Dark Angels helped out in the seige of Vracks so thats pretty much how all of this fits.

The model and concept art are both WIPS at this point though.
Well here's some pics.







Here was his concept art. I'm writing a full back story for him as well.




I'm glad I get to return to this project.

Out-Standing.

I had to double check on that model's pose and the sketching they were that nice.

Looking forward to your progress on him!

is he really a "fallen Angel?" if so than his armor would be black.... but heck that WIP of a Dark Angel is better than any of mine! ^_^ great work so far
i wish i could paint my DA symbol like you could.... :/

Loved the story of the seige of Vraks! The darkness and sheer weight of the destruction of man and machine was a bit overwhelming, but it made me like Dkok that much more...

so very cool to see you bring it to the table top. Can't wait to see more finished models and the battle table top.

I don't remember Valkyrie in the seige, but it figures that air support would be critical. and those models are awesome!

keep up the amazing work.....

Great Idea for a count as! Ride on.
