Really nice greys on the horse.

I'm looking forward to watching this one develop!

Thanks for shooting pictures of those bases - I was thinking about casting my own resin trenchworks bases for my Death Korp, and that gives me some ideas.

Good luck!

Got done with most of the Gas mask and Face plate. Really happy with the rust effect. I intend to make all the body armor in the army look like this.

If you speak the truth, you are beyond amazing.

Lookin good so far , Keep it up !

Wow, very nice rust effect going on.

Agreed, really nice rust effects. I also really like the horses' grey skin tone. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see how this progresses.

Fantastic

I'm in awe of the amount of detail these resin models contain.

Horses are so hard to get right and you absolutely nailed it. I love DK but they make my wallet weep so hard its not even fair!!! :(

Great work, really looking forward to this.

Hi,

At first, your work is amazing, but ...

- I think this rust effect looks a bit like the enemy, the Vraskian Renegade Militia

- For the color scheme I would suggest the German 'Feldgrau/fieldgrey' (of WWI) or the French 'Azurblau/azure' (also WWI) for a realistic and historical look

Beautiful model, great painting to match. Looking forward to seeing your progress

I love DKoK as models, I cannot wait for your take on them!

The base is brilliant as well, are you going to tart it up any more?

sA

@ The Chaos-Kraut: Thanks for the references I was wondering how the hoses and the rubber part of the gas mask that covers the horse’s mouth were suppose to look. I'll definitely draw on that for inspiration. About the rust however, my whole army is going to be weathered to hell and back and as gritty as I can possibly make them while keeping within the realm of realism. I don't think that makes them necessarily renegades... Just lazy at cleaning things.

@ smiling Assassin: I really don't know at this point the bases look good as is. I'm sure I'll have to do something to jazz em up a lil big though. Maybe experiment with some of the realistic mud effects that mig and other companies have. Any suggestions?

wow I love therusted look you did with that metal. Keep up the great work.

The tones on the horse are breathtaking. I love the idea of an equine gasmask, too.

Ok, that's a clear announcement and I'm curious about the progress.

Best regards

The C-K

Looking awesome, I like the rusty effect, it makes sense, the stuff they are trying not to inhale might have corroded their armour in some way, like a death planet or acid in the air

Amazing. Subscribed. Though, I havnt seen your renaissance marines.

After an abundance of painting and modeling ADD one of the large tournaments I attend every year has snuck up on me. Last year I had the honor of winning Best Painted with my renaissance marines. Not wanting to return with the same army I had decided I would return next year with a DKoK army. Well the deadline is fast approaching and so far I've assembled 7 Dkok's and 1 Commissar lord on a horse. (which I can't even field) So now its crunch time. I've assembled one Manticore and one Vendetta for my army coming up. The Manticore is what the worthless whirlwind should be. A limited number of templates of death wrecking havoc on low to mid armored infantry. I'll have enough 1 shot wonder guns in my list for the heavy infantry and vehicles. What I'm lacking is something to deal with 180 boyz or gaunts. The Manticore will fit this goal nicely and if there isn't any light infantry her str 10 ordinance can be thrown at vehicles with decent enough results. The Vendetta is just all around good for 130 points. 3 TL lascannons, fast, transport, cool looking. I have a feeling I'll be adding a couple more of these before I'm done.

Looks fantastic already! Can't wait to see more.

Almost nothing better than a DKoK blog

Oh. My. God. Instant subscription.

Really want to see how this turns out.

Wow.That is awesome. I do not deserve to look at these guys.*Pulls gun and shoots himself in the head*

Look what you've done! Your awesome thread has killed Munch Munch!!

Already you have achieved awesome status, great work so far. Since you have yet to paint any troops, I am suggesting that you make their coats a deep red. Although it is an odd color scheme, I have seen it done elsewhere on dakka and to great affect. I imagine an army of red dkok painted to your standard would be a truly striking force.

*edit* Here is a link to them


by the looks of it nathonicus never finished them which is a shame, maybe can carry on where he left off?

Great start with the commisar, can't wait to see more!

Oh my dear and fluffy lord, that's great work on the horse and Comissar Lord.

Really looking forward to seeing more of this. I'm especially keen to see what you do to that Valk, I'm hoping for some truly epic nose art

What tourny are you preparing for? patriot games?

you should make it look like theyre all bleeding out the eyesockets on their gasmasks

Yes to patriot games.

And thanks to everyone else. More to be updated later today or tomorrow.
