Would a punisher be a decent pick as well? 20 shots would force them to fail a few saves I think (they as in flyers, MC's and blobs)

Only for FMC, for 110 pts you can have 2 Thudd guns, that's 8 small blasts with same str as the punisher, more AP and more range, along with barrage rule, and you can give them orders, tho none of the Krieg ones are really good for artillery, I think

After seeing the formations and such for krieg im going to slowly build it over time instead, but bolster a main IG army in the meantime. I bought the cadian defence box but still want to keep with the defensive bombardment theme....Just seen I can have 25 mortars PER infantry group! I think i'm in love with this army.....
On a side note, I see the baslisk earthshaker is something like 36"-xx" range, that seems a bit crazy and will make it almost useless in the 'width' style deployment....thoughts?

You can still use direct fire - in fact I don't even bother messing with dropping shells at extreme range, my most common opponent (and my life partner) plays Ravenwing and never stays at a safe distance for more then one turn. Frankly anything that can chew up a squad of marine bikers is nice.

Tanks and MC's will be tough to deal with using an artillery themed army it seems.

You can get custom heads for IG Cadian units, that's what I have done.

I got Pig Iron gas mask heads and some others and my paint scheme is similar to DKoK. I love the DKoK look but the price prevents me from getting many models, and once I do get some they'd be my veterans / elites.

Its an option if your looking for infantry to use Cadian bodies and pig iron gas mask heads they look like they could fit well with DKoK infantry.

Frankly for myself I wanted to go guard but I didn't like the Cadian heads but I loved the look of DKoK but couldn't spend that much. Once i saw the head models from pig iron I went for it. I can replace the Cadian heads use the IG/AM codex and maybe down the road use them as DKoK!
