And like I said, they are adding new models so far and plan on making the Gamilon fighters at 1/72 scale as well, gonna be ordering from Japan a lot.

APC's, fighters, space cruisers, soldiers, and titans to paint so many backlogged projects, always busy here!

Sgt Goeppinger's Guerillas get their camo patch work started.

You don`t know how hard I`ve been staying away from the local shops to avoid buying all those Yamato kits. and the 1/72 kits keep trying to lure me with chants of how cool they would look in my count as Eldar army.

They are hard to resist, and I also get discount points from each purchase at the distributor to lower the payments for the next batch of ships! first 1/72 scale Gamillon plane is to be the DWG-262 flown by Melda.

Back in the 1980's I had a bunch of the older kits as I have been a fan of Yamato since 1981

Do not remind me or I`ll have to raid your place for all that bounty

M.

So far I have the Kirishima and the Yukikaze and cruiser, 2 times the cruiser destoryer set cosmo zero 1 and 2, Kato and the tiger. And of course Yamato for EDF

I have the Gaiderol and tank and destroyers, Dessler II command ship, the destoria/kelkapia, the UX-01 and Battlecruiser, red carrier and Polmeria carrier. plus mekakore minis. I am still needing the Lambea/Schderg/Balgray, as well as the more modernized Haizerad Battleship and the Domelus-Superdreadnought

Of course local Japanese shops may still have the elusive Imperial Guard sets of the destoyers and cruisers

Molded in the blue instead of the green plastic

With kits like that I wish people around here would be interested in space battle games.

M.

If i ever find anyone looking to play 1/1000 scale battles, I am all ready for ti with this fleet

Come to Japan on holidays then

I'd go broke at all the hobby stores

happy new year shaso!... the new squad looks already dashingly good in the early camo works...!

i agree with vik that camo is a nice change of pace from your traditional camo pattern. when playing will these guys be vets or a platoon?

happy new year buddy!

Happy New year all!
Goeppinger and his lads are the veterans of a platoon of veterans, if you get my meaning. ALL of the Kruegerians are pretty much wearing carapce armor. so effective 10pts a man instead of the average guardsman being 5pts

ahh ok i get ya very cool man

And I did manage to camo the lads now to retouch the gray under suit, black the gloves and boots, green the utility pouches, and "blue" the gins etc/ Camo the gray hats as well. OR, just highlight? Have to give the hat badges silver with red center.

Good job.
Happy New Year.

I think...plain hats. Otherwise on that scale you may not be able to see that they have heads... It'll all merge together. One of those, good for camo' bad for model things.

Okay, Fatgiue hats and soft covers stay plain.
Helmets are armor, so they will have the camo

Okay, so the squad under Sgt Goeppinger is done for now, all grimed and everything

Oh yeah, hair poking out from under the hats/goggles must be done

THat camo looks great on the troopers, great job shaso.

Those guys look outstanding Shas. I do love the camo. Will the APC be similar?

Thanks guys! the APC witht he base coat it has will be getting the usual pattern camo as I actually did not foresee the Kruegerians as using them unless it was necessary, I just used it for some scaling and how they would look climbing out of any APC. I may consider doing the Hannomags in such colors, after all, they also will be from dreamforge. I need to get say a total of 10 of the things, then add in the rocket and cannon versions for good measure, man that "Parade of Strength" is gonna last a while! All of the soldiers ranked, the vehicles as well, whew!

they do look business! that camo is actually my favourite one of yours compared to the standard khardovian camo...

how many vehicles do you have for that branch of the army?

The Kruegerians only wear the standard gray camo for light uniform work such as security workers not the hard covered soldiers as these guys are.

I did a tally, I need a lot of transports to fully mechanize my 500 or so soldiers.
Presently
1-Seadragon 35men capacity
1-MTLRB-40 25man capacity
2-BMP-80 12 man capacity each
2-BTR-80 12 man capacity each
2-IFV-70 10 man capacity each
2-BRM-80 (Half tracks) 8man capacity each
6-BMD-80(Chimeras) 12 man capacity each
6-MBTR-44 (Bricks) 12 man capacity each

And then a plan for say 10 Hannomags at 10 men each

3 support hanomags at 5man each

so total capacity at 403 soldiers so far. I think I need more platoon carriers and plan on converting LTV-4 kits with a drop ramp in the back and roughly 35 man capacity each say 3-4 of those
I may also get me ome armored Old Crow trucks if Jez will whip them up.

well...I think you forgot about troop carrying birds...?

Oh yeah, MiL-44 with 10 man ability, IU may have to order more of those

Wondering if maybe a Valkyrie/Vendetta may be in order?

That triple decker carrier is an awesome design!

You also may have the world's record for troop models too

The original tri-deck carriers are from the 1970's version of the show


and the redesign is the model from the new take on the show


Now I know one of the GW guys made the entire Ultramrines chapter I think, so that would be 1,000 space marines in total.

Now if you add my 500-600 IG, 100 SM, 100+Tau, 200 Orks, and 40 or so 'Crons, well, that may be a large-ish collection of troops, Oh and my chaos lizards

You have quite the impressive collection shash. Are you getting a tri decker?
