Thank you very much! I am glad to have helped you get some ideas for your own. I feel that custom markers add a bit more character to the table and game.

I know it is a bit of a creepy model, though it does look less creepy when it has the goblins hanging all over it with their siege weapon platform.

Sorry for the low uploads and updates, its finals week time so lots of studying. I did get some time in to make another DKoK squad, and I took everyone's suggestions and used a pin to make the voxcaster antenna. I also sanded it so the primer will hold when applied.

Nice vox trooper Ustrello, good shout on the pin. If I were to do mine all over again I'd use very fine brass wire and loop it up and back down the side of the unit like a whip aerial.

Thanks, and that is actually a good idea but I didn't have any brass wire on me otherwise I'd totally steal it

Thanks man, sorry I didn't see your comment until now.

Otherwise I got some more fluff written up for my DKoK regiment and Knight House. It is about their current conflict that they are both deployed in force to.

Ethilia-4
Planet type: Argi world with extensive orbital dockyards
Population: 12 billion
Segmentum Tempestus
Sector: Uthuna
Sub sector: Daturn
Current status: Open rebellion against the Imperium and forsaking the God Emperor
Belligerents: Traitor PDF and Death Guard space marines
Friendly forces: Loyal PDF, House Vasa, 78th mechanized Death Korps of Krieg, local Skitarii

Ethilia is a unique planet; with its rolling fields on its massive super continent its fields provide the grains and meat for the imperium. Ethilia owes this to a unique blend of nitrates in the soil and an agreeable environment. The location of the system also makes it the perfect location for orbital dry-docks to re fit and re arm the Imperium’s many fleets. But this also has attracted the wrong sort of attention. In 800 M41 rebellion broke forth, with the sudden appearance of a Death Guard fleet. Nearly 2/3rds of the PDF and the governor denounced the Imperium and the Emperor, with only Hive Aria Hive Pirn and Hive Solime keeping with the loyalists. The Imperial navy ships were able to beat back the chaos space marine fleet, but they could not leave the dry docks least the chaos fleet outmaneuver them and destroy the docks. Orbital bombardment and other actions of those ilk were deemed to hazardous to a planet as valuable as Ethilia. Ground forces were needed to take back at the planet from the traitors, the astropath messages went out and the first to respond were House Vasa and their seconded imperial guard regiment the 78th mechanized. House Vasa deployed in force with nearly a dozen knight suits and their allies. But this would not be a quick war, but one of muddy trenches and attrition.

Hey all, hope you have had an good holiday season and end of the year. I finally got around to starting another platoon squad and have some WIP pics. Also wanted peoples opinions on the edge highlighting on the shoulder armor and the flamer shroud weathering.

Thanks! I was trying to go with a metal worn from flames so I used a purple wash towards the front and worked in nuln oil

Thanks! I was worried the red would be too bright, but looking at it again today it looks better.

Thanks man. The grey blues are probably my favorite to paint.

Looking good. I'm so tempted to buy a squad of every type of Guardsman. I may have to get a squad of these guys next.

Looks very good, I really like the blue coats. Maybe - and just maybe, it's fine as is - some chipping on the chainsword?

The soot on the flamer came out great as well!

Thanks man! I would get the elysians sooner than later as I heard they may discontinue them.

Thanks! But that sounds very interesting, I may try that.

Yeah the barbed wire is from army painter and is like 8 dollars for large amount.

Nothing super exciting this weekend. Sat around watched some football and started the last five guardsmen. I also got my Knight Acheron in yesterday, and looking through the pieces it all looks solid and no major bends.

Been a slow painting week with school starting, but I should have the last five DKoK guardsmen done by saturday. I also got the rest of the parts needed for a custom banner for my Knight Acheron. Tell me what you all think

I am hoping so! I've had the idea rattling around in my head for a month or so now, but I've been hesitant to try it since I've never tried anything like it so far. But it turned out well imo.

Not a whole lot done since sunday, finished up the rhino sans the tracks. Going to then cut it down for the base for the knight, so hopefully I will have the thing built by this weekend.
