40K army in making

Hq and second squad in the making.
However I am not sure what tank to get first, any tips?

Very cool IG models...dark, gritty and intimidating. Steel Legion?

Great work there dude.How did you do the netting?

Made the netting by striping away all the plaster fibers from casting bandage, leaving only the net inside.
Then i dipped it in water mixed with wood glue leaving me a netting that would stiffen after a few hours.

Nice job. Love the netting. check out my stuff Ive got a website in my signature and a thread with some of my finished commissions

Looking really good! As for your tank, the Leman Russ is a default, being detestably the best tank in 40k, and the backbone of the Imperial Guard. Although if you are playing DKoK, I know there is a limitation on which tanks they can take, but I'm not sure of them off the top of my head. I'd say start with a standard main battle tank.

Ok, think i my friend have a second-hand Leman russ for sale Thus a Leman shall be painted

Death Korps of Krieg, FW models ;D And, these look good if they are your first 40k army! Love the choice of colours, very grimdark, but I never figured the Guard for a 'ghille in the mist' approach, still looking *awesome* though!!

Rarely see DKoK as someones first army, They look great

Now this is indeed a fine first army! Well done

Thx for the nice feedback

Yea I really like the look of these models (and i got some second-hand for a nice price, btw striping paint from Forgeworld is a pain... Some cheap quality resin they are using...

Well here is part of the HQ squad, not sure about the commanders sword, Maybe I will change it

Really impressive for a first army

Have you considered starting a thread in the Painting and Modelling Blog section? That way you can document your progress as you go along and not just be tied to posting images of completed miniatures.

Maybe I will do that

Wow, very nice

Nice stuff, figs looks great and the basing is very nice too.

these models are jsut lovely...

These are mighty fine, if I may say so, sir!

You have really captured the gritty, rugged essence of the DKoK. As for tanks, the Leman Russ is the standard tank. Forge World's tanks are perfect for Krieg, especially the malcador http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Guard/Imperial_Guard_Super_Heavy_Tanks/MALCADOR-WITH-BATTLECANNON____.html

and the macharius

These may be a bit expensive for a starter... then again you do have Krieg!

Good luck with the rest of the army and keep up the good work!

P.s. Your snipers look amazing

I have plans to do a DKoK force for my first IG Army now after seeing this, this is a good inspiration. Love your army! Btw...that netting effect is just great. What a creative idea.

Thx for the feedback, more pics coming Just got a second-hand Leman Russ from a friend of mine so just stripping it down atm.

I love the camouflage on the snipers.
