Now, to paint the Leviathan like my tanks? or like the Hussars???

So, I figured it was about time for a picture filled holiday update, all the Eisenkern(Kruegerian) troops are builts including their robot mules, I have some base coat work on the BoS squad I made. Much to do, so much!

Kreugerian Tri-Mortar team. dropping a garnd total of 9 small templates from just three mortars is impressive, it is called the "Iron rain" attack.

[/img]

The dual twinlinked heavy stubber teams, spraying 18 re-rollable bullet attacks they refer to it as the "Iron Hail" technique and will also shoot down flyers or hordes with their guns. These would be similar to the idea of the FW Sabre gun platforms, but this is a team with a stand mounted weapon system.

For those enemy armored vehicles, the weapon that the Kruegerians rely on the PAK-L55/90 Magna-coil assisted round cannons, the three of them will fire on the tank as one, and call their attack "Iron Hammer" they practice this so much that all three guns strike seemingly with just one hit as all three shots hit so close together in timed unison

Sgt Goeppinger's squad, "Goeppinger's Gremlins"

Sgt Steiner and his squad "Steiner's Sledgehammers"

Sgt Kessler and his squad "Kesslers' Knackers" they enjoy using the grenade launcher under slung carbines or SMG's known as HK&K-88's as well as the Kruegerians new signature Mark-99 "Panzerfaust" grenade launcher.

Those dreamforge troops are a beauty to see enmass. They'll look even better when the hanomags and black widows show up.

Yeah! I will order Hanomags from Dreamforge when they become available. I also have the Puppet's war Taurus' on order, and Old Crow will also be able to provide me with more transports at cheap costs

Black widows, female troopers? I know they also have plans for heavy infantry, unless Mark feels that is too Spehs Muhreen like?

Black widows are indeed female troops. The heavy troopers are great stand ins for the terminators and have a nice grey knights vibe. I would love to see mark develops an accessory sprue to help them be used in other systems though .

Oh the Helcannons are Las-cannons
he has basically a multi-melta and heavy flamer and heavy bolter or cannon for them.

As well as bolt pistols and power blades, they just will not look like the GW versions which are always comically huge requiring 1/56-1/48 scale minis to have 1/35 scale hands to hold them. Even 1/35 scale true scale weapons seem sadly toy like in potency compared to the over sized GW weapons. By rights that IG las rifle is packing a 75cal. sized laser aperture

Leman Russ' 120mm battle cannon swallows a 1/35 scale 120mm cannon more the bore size of 1/35 scale of a 300mm mortar than a true 120mm as their own tri-view and data cards used to have on the Leman Russ!

Well size aside I was more hoping for chainswords, powerfists, thunder hammers and the like. GW scale should never be taken seriously.

What I have sen looked like they could be power blades and relic blades which are the 2 handed weapons that are power blades with +2 to S

And the rules allow for the use of the blades and a storm shield, so Relic blades and Storm shields make a nice one for a decent monster slaying force

Those handheld guns , a mixture of grenadelauncher and revolver looks good, the minis look as if aimed for the GK audience... Tho those shields rather stress a Teutonic look...

As for your question regarding your leviathan scheme...I think an apparition like this deseves a more special scheme than the general vehicles got...so probably the hussarian scheme, but I can't really say for sure as I can't recall it atm...

Like the look of those guys, remind me a bit of the Necro's from Riddick.

As usual I come visit your blog to find a million nice shiny new things, but not many tracked items???????

Thanks Vik! It will look like a giant Hussar when done

Cam, I will have tracked once more, but even tracked need support tanks needed infantry to protect them from other infantry, etc.

I'm really tempted by the wargamesfactory deal to order another full sized crusader and really build an angry marine Titan out o it. Someone suggested using rhinos under each foot o get it to the size of a warhound, and make them look like rollerskates . Man I wish I had money o burn on angry marines.

Well Theo, the spare weapons could be nice to have handy for dealing with different foes across the battle table.

Now I have decided to make the big guy look like a gigantic Hussar! A more earthy color shall be inside the light "splinters" making their interesting pattern So armor panels to go on once the metals are done on the limbs and such

More work on the camo scheme, then the "metals" and then I can use the glue gun to fix the LED's and set up the light show

I like that scheme. It will definitely stick out from the rest of your armies color.

Nice scheme for the hussar-ginormous.

Thanks guys! Hey monkeytroll, long time no see here!

Yes, a bigger version of

Well, the warp does have a lot of tempting offers and in different flavors too! I'd have added a pic, but none were work safe

Good choice of scheme for the leviathan.

Like the colours and like the model, (Even though it doesn't have tracks) Still love those guns, they just look awesome.

Not all vehicles use treads, BUT the Khadrovians use strictly solid ground contact vehicles on wheels, legs and treads, Skimmers as the Tau and Eldar use are not for Khadrovian use, oh no, no!

Shas is going to need to build a warehouse for his army soon!

Well, I have now two battle-foam carriers for the IG and looks like still need my plastic tub for the boxes of the stuff I can't squeeze in them!

So basically you need to grab another leviathan, motorise them both, and use them as bearers to carry half your army for you.....

Pretty much yep! Leviathan stevedors for my army!

hmmm..... i am not that fond currently of that camo scheme on that big boy...... there will be too much bare metall to be seen... dunno if the camo will work as inteded then...?

Once h puts the armor on there's a lot less of the metal areas to b seen, I think he'll be fine. I know we've debated before about giant vehicles having camo, how likely is aBuilding going to be able to need up on you? I think they just camo the big boys to torture he new guys who have o paint it. Ain't is desert scheme....waits ill he's done.....oh wait we're being deployed to the jungle, repaint it......oooops orders changed, how good are you at winter pattern?

lol....that would be downright cruel treatment...

if shaso is doing the metall in actual green i think it could nevertheless work then...
