So I got an itch to start a human-wave-melee Death Korps army, but I don't have money. I don't play in tourneys so the whole proxy thing isn't an issue too much. I just really like the gas masks and great coats, along with the lore.

What do you think of these?:

They're 18 per box plastic models. Incredibly cheap. Have you had any experience with these models? Do you think these would make an okay stand for Death Korps? Do you have any other suggestions on alternative Death Korps models?

And now for the second part. What's your list? I was thinking I'd just use a slow-moving infantry wave backed up by LR Demolishers. It can swarm and Str 10 anything down if they can catch it, or gunline if they're the ones getting charged, but I have no experience with an army like this as I used to play Elysians.

I like those borderers! I may use the ones I posted as engineers or storm troopers. I think I will use those borderers as the bulk of my army though.

Oh I'm not starting with Death Korps Stoffer, I've got SM and aircav guard on my belt.

Victoria minis has a line of heavy weapons that I looked at earlier:

I'm just going to order a single pair with just a pack of three of the Borderers, but I think that in the link I put up earlier had a shop item for gun crew arms.

So I was thinking that I would substitute the standard Borderer arms for the gun crew arms, and green stuff some shoulder plates on there. I'd have to see how it'd look in the end, but if it doesn't turn out, I'll just sell my legs for the FW models.

I might use those if I ever add a Cyclops into the mix.
