Awesome stuff there mate! Been wanting a small Krieg army for age's but never have the time (or the money tbh) to get round to it. Seeing these just makes me think maybe I should take a small loan!?

The muted color scheme is difficult to get right, at least for me. I guess what I am asking is what color combinations you use to get that style where it isn't just dull due to being black but rather sort of natural and a bit faded looking. Most models look very bright and well, plasticy, as though the troops' uniforms were designed to stand out, while yours look like they are actually being worn by real people.

You see this a lot in larger scale models, mostly historicals, where the colors are more muted. I have never really been able to find out what approach to color and paint gets that done, however.

This. I love the colour scheme and basing you have going on; it's amazing work and makes it look really gritty and realistic. Massive kudos for you sir!

I do personally think that some battle damage could add to the gritty, realistic feel that your models already possess, but otherwise I think this is astounding work; considering you say you've got so many more to make you might consider a P&M blog?

I hope you've got a snow table to go with that terrain, which I love btw - always been a fan of the FW Guard terrain like that.

Great work.

Either way, I'm loving the models you got going on here, absolutely first rate!

You beat me to it, but I am going to point out that his 'flag has vertical colour blocks, the 'actual flag' has horizontal ones. Either way the models are stunning.

Amazing work
More please!

Absolutely stunning with the muted colors and snowy bases. Great work!

These are some wicked men you have Well done

But the muted and sombre color scheme fits the flavor of the death corp so well and your paint jobs look amazing. The snow and the terrain are ridiculous, especially the base on your valkyrie, and i mean that in the best way possible very nuclear winter indeed.

Very nice indeed! You are an excellent painter, the Valkyrie with the snow effects was outstanding.
keep up the good work!

I joined up just to tell you how fantastic that Marshall is. Chilling, very well done.

Incredible work man! I get cold just looking at them! Your attention to detail is stunning.

Phenomenal work I really have to say! This is a definate inspiration!

Hey guys! Sorry for neglecting this thread and letting it die a bit, I appreciate all the kind comments! I really didn't expect so much praise

I'm gonna get mods to get this moved to a project log place since it's becoming more that way than just a showcase. Anyways, as a way of bringing it back, here's a new update...

I present to you the first of my 6 Death Riders (fairly pic heavy) The horse's leg snapped (damn resin!) so I had to glue it back on. Probably should have filled in the crack but oh well. The gasmask appears to have been washed out in the image by the lighting, its more obvious on the horse in reality. Anyways here goes...

Love how you made it look like the horse has worked itself to the bone (unless that's snow for some reason o,O).

Well I read the fluff about the horses and it seems they are a specially bred and incredibly genetically modified breed of Terran horse that basically is constantly pumped full of chemicals to keep it alive through injuries that would fell normal horses, and apparently one of the side effects is that - aside from the mane - it is totally hairless. That explains why I went for the pale flesh look!
