Hi everyone, im fairly new to the hobby, started about a year ago, collecting both Orks and Death Korps of Krieg, unfortunately i dont have any finished ork to show yet so here are some of my DKOK guys as an introduction, hope you enjoy!

Lots of love in those models! Great job!

Hate to double post, but can I ask; what did you use for the razor wire? Not FW razor wire is it?

Thanks mtcwalker, i like to take my time with these fellows! razorwire is from a local retailer but its essentially the same as this: http://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/scenery-accessories/241-simulated-model-barbed-wire-razor-wire-industrial-fence-military.html But somewhat thinner.

They are brilliant, well done

It's a bit irritating for you to be that good as someone new to the hobby though

Fantastic!

I'll second the irritation that you've just started and this is what you've come up with!

Very nice minis, excellently painted and with great basing. Are they FW Kriegers? If so, I must get some of those myself they look excellent

Looks ace!

I assume you play Warmachine as well and use these as trenchers? I don't think those are legal 40k base sizes

I always thought it was generally ok to step up a base size for modelling purposes.

Guess if people are really strict, but those don't look much bigger than 32mm bases...

I'd have issues with the heavy weapons teams - in 40k you can go bigger, but not smaller 50mm vs 60mm

Thank you all, means a lot!

YnneadwraithMade, yes they are FW models, fantastic detail in them.

Stevefamine, i only play WH40k, mostly with my friends who wont mind me using either FW rules or round lip bases. I have orks with standard bases ill use to play in more official games once i have a proper army list set up. Bases are 30mm and 80mm for the heavy weapons team, i like the extra space for cool details for the base.

They look great with those bases.

Your krieg looks very nice! how did you do the horseskin? looks really vibrant.

I wouldn't sweat it on the base sizes. These look fantastic!

Think so as well. These are some great Kriegsmen and the Death rider's horse is especially well done.

Nice solid start. I like the mini vignettes.

Thanks yall! Im glad you like them! Been taking a long break because i need to focus more on my profession.
Properly finished my first Ork thingie, an OOP deff dread, with slight conversions done, like the chainsaw klaw, some tubing for flamethrower, a chain hanging from the chassis and a non stock banner. Ill try to build myself a lightbox so i can take better photos.

Pharcae - About the horse skin, doombull brown as basecoat, nuln oil washes, and highlights with a mix of doombull brown and wild ryder red. Rakhart flesh and screaming skull for the feet and tail. Took me forever tho, i can easily say horses are by far most difficult to paint.

Some beautiful stuff here. Those kriegers look great on those bases. Look forward to seeing the collection grow

Thanks JamesY!
Finished this autocannon team a couple months ago but forgot to take pictures. Also built a ghetto lightbox but i need better lamps.

Great work all around. I love the way those weapon teams look on the round-lip bases!

Always loved Korps of Krieg and your horse fur is just perfect!

Thanks Aidanesh and HungryP!

Finished infantry squad, took about 2 days of marathon painting.

Stunning work. Hyvin tehty!

Thanks IronDane!

Finished 2 thudd guns for my krieg army, crew is next, waiting for 120mm bases so i can start making these into dioramas.

Million washes later, trukk is finished! Im quite happy with the result. My first proper conversion ever.

Wow, big, bright and beautiful. That is a very nice konvershun and very well painted. You definitely have your own style. My orks tend to be fairly dark and dingy, but this pops off the screen with colors and contrasts like a comic book.

Job's a good 'un!

Thanks Riddle of Steel! Glad you like it.

Finished Mars Alpha pattern Leman Russ. Mistakes were made but oh well.

I love your DKOK's. Great work. Reminds me of the WW1 French armies with the blue uniforms.

Woah this is some seriously awesome painting Especially for someone who's only been in the hobby a year its amazing
Can't wait to see more of those orks, and the DKOK are looking mighty fine on those round lipped bases

For being new to the hobby, you paint like someone who's very experienced. I love the grittiness of your DKOK and the almost pulpy comic book look of your Orks. Great stuff!

How do you paint your sandbags on your auto cannon teams? Mine aren't very nice compared to yours!

Great army!
