That unit looks the business.

Thanks guys! I am glad they make it on the approval ratings of my fellow Dakkaites!


Yepper, the Kruegerians have the special place in the Union as having the best troops for the most audacious missions covered. Dire-Wolves are a Kill Team,,,Nacht Jagers in older Hussar armor and the newer Stormer armor compete to see which is the better sneak ops. Mountain Jagers for hard to reach places Hussars and stormers for taking and holding the most stubbornly defended objectives, and Jungle Kommandos for the worst jungles.

Other troops have different traditions, but I am sharing the Kruegerians and their place in the Union.

The core Khadrovian troops and Vasili's bunch are good all rounders and handle anything with simpler ease, and many times lesser armor.

The Frigians are the lords of arctic-style warfare.

the Caskraineans are woodland huntsmen and trackers, no one escapes them!

The 3 great coat triangle of Tyarvetsia, Arkeletsya, and Murmanskya are out right assault troops.

the Amexadians are great patrollers and garrison troops

just to name a few of the more renowned units

Good progress, Shas'.

The last page is an excellent blur of painted minis. Kudos! Great work. I especially like the walking tank and the sheer volume of infantry.

Well, another thank you!

I am looking to use the decals for the 144 I have here and then affix and wash the soldiery. more black squiggles due for that big walker tank, plus while I have black paint set out, my WW1 converted mega platoon carriers!

Looking forward to seeing the platoon carriers. It should be interesting to see your take on them.

Okay, to hold folks over for a bit, I present the Panzerjaegers, the small command unit has to have "144" put onto the left shoulders, and I ran out of the Imperial Guard Decals, so hand paint in white may be needed.

Here is the whole group 26 strong

Command(I need to add the proper marking to her rank as she is a Lieutenant.), they do however, have their winged skull mark on the right shoulders.

2nd squad

This is their present state of paint and decals, still have some work to touch up on, and maybe re-do the eyes, or the flesh around the eyes, they seem too big

Nice work Shas, Any reason the command squad are on different bases?

No more official bases, so had to use what I had.

and today I drop off the troops made from Bitz and the that includes Der Hoff and his Dire-Wolves.

And here, as promised, the command staff of the 144th Kruegerian regiment, General Rommel-X(classified), and Colonel Von Stauffenberg, the snipers assigned with spotters, banner sgt, comms and forward observer, field medic and their servitor-Mules.

The general is wearing a very different system from the others, the mask and support system is a rare one used only by those who can afford the custom fit. His carapace armor is designed to also allow view of the blood stripe trousers that are also part of his rank, along with the power sabre, and unique customized armor design. (he is a resin fig from Kabuki studios in Italy.) Whereas the Colonel uses what the men do, to the most part, and while wealthy enough to afford a custom armor and mask system as the General wears, he chose to wear the standard issue armor and mask of his men, sharing in their comfort/discomfort and earning the respect and admiration of the soldiers.

The General earns respect and admiration from his leading from the front unlike most generals, and that he uses strategies and tactics that allow the troops to accomplish missions as if they were phantoms, striking one area, and moving out before retribution only to strike where they were not expected to be. This has earned the 144th the nickname "Phantom Regiment 144". This is because the General prefers mobile, fluid warfare over set piece, dug in battles that last months when he can do things in days.

Nice work, that's a lot of troops.

nice force, i especially like the standard bearer, good looking freehand there too!

also...i need to apologize...you´ve got incoming...sent you finally all my decals that could be remotely useful...i hope they´re there in short time...and that the long silence of mine on that subject is forgiven...my head is still due to job and health issues not what it was ....

Thanks!
That is just the Dreamforge troops I have, and lots of them, combined with Mutant Chronicles old metal Bauhaus figs make up the Kruegerian Republic troops. In facft, between all my IG source figs, I have no idea just how many soldiers I actually have until I do a census!

Oh the banner does have built in cheat pf molded ensign lines and cross, I added the Imperial Aquila in the yellow field, I chose to use the colors I felt fit the theme of the troops.

No apologies needed, health is very important, so I understand, having many health issues of my own. It should usually take a week or so for mail to hit here from Europe, then I can finish the 144th left shoulders!

I think I have about 100 Eisenkern by now, or close to it, over 100 Defiance UAMC, and the 100+ WGF great coats, ad in the 20 Bauhaus, the 51 catachans, 30 or so Vostroyans, 50+ Cadian+Valhallans, 35 Mad Robot troops, the rescue team, then add in all my other minis for the republics of the Union, I may have close to a regiment by now!

Okay, back by popular demand, the walking heavy tank!

I gotta ask though...what is that weapon system supposed to be? Almost looks like a sound gun to me...?

from AT-43, those are GRASERs, basically Gravity used as powerful beams to rip apart targets.

Most folks love them some walkers,


Now, the mobile platoon carrier, MBTR-LP-50 this one is the "A" model which has twinlinked laser cannons in the high turret and has 2 sponson mounted battle-cannons, 2 sponson, and one forward mounted heavy stubbers, it can carry a platoon of up to 30 men with a command squad making it capable of carrying a total of 35 men, 15 Ogryn troops, or pair of goliath remote bomb units.

Front views, one can see the assault ramp for the troops inside to assault from once the transport arrives.

Right side, one can see the turret with th 360 degree arc, the right sponson with the heavy stubber emplaced behind the batle cannon emplacement.

Left side, showing the similar details of the right, just the opposite side, allowing equal distribution of firepower

The carrier was made using the Emhar WW-I Mk-IV kit, and landraider parts, the turret which was scratchbuilt and also using spare GW tank parts, sits atop a structure made from scratch and using a resin piece from Puppets War vehicle kit. I hope all enjoy!

immediately recognized the mark IV kit^^ i have to say...15 ogryns in one tank...i see a party that´s bound to a harsh crash......

btw... a 360° arc would be the top turret only...the sponsons would never offer that much firing arc

nice kitbash/scratchbuild...the LR engine/exhausts was a very good bitz choice!

Hey gotta keep the capabilities well set for multi-purpose carrying!

Oh the sponsons are self evident as limited arcs of course, the turret being the lone 360 swivel.

Oh yeah! the engine parts, the las-cannons, and the front ramp were the main Landraider bitz attached.


Now for the "B" model which uses a Plasma cannon

These are some big beasties as the main model is 1/35 scale!

Nice tanks there, theyl pack a punch with that many troops in them. What sort of rule system do you use when playing your tanks?

Mostly Apocalypse for the Big beasts

bigger tanks are always win...GW is making them way too tiny...but we have been down that road^^

FW saves the day!

and murders my wallet...

oh i wouldn't dream of BUYING there models

Hence my making my own monster tanks these days with the right bitz to help them out.

Yeah, need to get my hands on some vents and exhausts, any ideas?

Also look up OneManNoodles on Dakka, his work is brilliant.

Or scratch yourself some up, not hard honest.

Gods I love that tank Shas, that's how tanks should look. great work.

Cheers Cam. I have, his stuff is inspirational.

OMN sells his stuff in resin, PM him, though I must say not seen him in a while.

I have parts from OneManNoodle and zinge on most all of my scratch-builds and conversions!

Thank you Cam! it is a nice big beasty and perfect for slogging troops across a massive "no-mans' land" table!

But I do note that Zinge also has great hatches, jerry cans, hand grips, and other bitz that can help. OMN, has been missing of late. Hope all is well.

I'm really digging the Mark IV conversion. Nice work so far.

Thank you! it is still in progress, the black band on the noses, are to be joined by a solid blue to either side, transport division gets the blue with black band, super-heavy combat gets white with red stripe, and normal combat heavy support like leman russ gets the red with black stripe.

Now for a support unit that will get a red with black stripe, here is the smaller TD. I came up with a way to make it work, a fender system will hide the rest of the tread system for it! LOL.

Track shoes by Zinge Industries.

Trench rails and engine unit by OneManNoodles, both great casters in the UK.

the TD will be roughly as wide as my light tank, but longer.
