The Demolisher would be even more of a target than the Rapiers were as it'll be easier to get a shot at AND represent an even greater percentage of your anti-tank. Wouldn't it make sense to use the penal troops as little more than a screen for it? That would also have the advantage of putting the Leman Russ at the centre of a troops blob for defending rear objectives.

Ascension Phase 5 happened! Completed some Allarus Custodes made from Scibor 'Terminators' with Anvil Industry pauldrons and some Emperor's Children heads.





Also, finally took a decent photo of the FLAG GUY

Love that gold. Very pretty.

This army looks very pretty. I can't quite get used to the very light grey base rims. I find myself looking at the rims instead of the models. I wonder if mid-grey would stick out less.

THAT FLAG GUY WANTS TO BE SHOT.

Which makes him perfect.

New forces inbound!

We’re running a long-form Siege of Vraks campaign at the club, and there are, predictably, more Renegade players than Krieg ones. So, I’ve assembled a load of Anvil Industry greatcoat troopers into a small infantry army!

I originally got these in a trade with a friend as valhallans, but a quick purchase from Anvil to even out numbers and replace the heads with Stahlhelm variants and they can be a pretty good stand in. I folded in a load of other spare parts too - other greatcoat bits, GW special weapons, old plastic war zone backpacks, etc etc.

The plan is to paint these really dark grey/black with contrast paints and then use them with the black Arbites vehicles. I have some spare artillery to add in too.

1 Marshall
2 Field Officers
1 Commissar
4 x Command (1 flag, 2 plasmas)
30 x Infantry (3 flamers)
20 x Grenadiers (4 plasmas, using skitarii guns as hell guns)
15 x Engineers (2 meltas, 2 demo charges)
3 x Heavy Weapon Teams (3 heavy bolters)

That's some mighty fine work there

That does it, I'm moving to London.

I think you've set yourself up well for some well-paced progress... I love your painting mounts. The models themselves came together nicely too, despite (or because of) the variety of bits you were pulling from. Great work, looking forward to paint!

I followed your old blog and I’m migrating to follow this one!

Can't believe I didn't get around to updating this yet. These Kreig guys have been done for a while now and are successfully prosecuting the Vraks campaign - they're just about to reach the end of Chapter 3!! All speed-painted with one coat of contrast Black over a grey basecoat, and then details picked out in silver, gold and brown. I made the bases myself and then cast them, since I'm gonna need them for my Renegades too!
