Been working on this project for a year now, off and on, and finally deciding to share it with you all!
Hopefully I can pass on some of the inspiration I have acquired from this forum and gather some motivation to keep at this too.
First up is the beginnings, overwhelming amounts of glue and assembly. Acquired a sizeable force from forgeworld, but decided to look elsewhere for my support needs. Since mud and gore is the goal, I took to WWI and WWII German models to fill those slots.

A little out of order, but I'm trying to catch up to current times, so here's the Red Scorpions allied detachment. Very much based on fluff and looks, grav armed and magnetized, capable to deal with the short-ranged threats my Kriegers may not be.
Also included some messed up and scrapped marines from old projects to field as objective tokens. Red Hunter casualties, from the failed drop-assault during the Siege of Vraks.

THE A7V, in all her glory! I mean, most of her glory... there is still a lot of work to be done on this one, but I see her potential and I'm excited to get it done!
Follow-on armor, this little gem is a count-as for a Hellhound/Banewolf/Devildog. There was a nice little wire leading up to the custom flame ignition, but the dog's tail took it away.

CAVALRY!!! I saw someone's paint job of a Death Rider and I had to have some of my own... now I could field a company of only cavalry (which I did, against a Space Wolf player. I embarrased his blood claws quite badly ).

Heavy artillery. German Nebelwerfers, German 10.5cm Kanones, and German Morser Kanones. Custom base with sandbags and barbed wire, more to come for sure.

Last, but not least, the backbone of the Korps, the infantry. Unfortunately not much to show here, a lot of my attention has gone to special models.
Engineers and Grenadiers also to follow.

One more thing... every good soldier needs a proper ride to battle, and I pulled all the stops for the Kriegers. This is a reproduction German hand grenade box, heavily modified from its original state. I wanted to grab an original, but I couldn't bring myself to mutilate a piece of history.
Notice a recurring theme: I love magnets. If there's something cool to be done with magnets, I want in.
The lid will eventually be covered in magnet strips and Neodymium disks to provide the right amount of hold for each model. The cavalry fell off once, crashing into the infantry (like those Space Wolves I mentioned, but worse). After more glue and green stuff, I settled for the 1.5" Neodymium disks. Now I have to be careful not to snap the horses off the base when I take them out )

Just realized there was a comment during my postings, the A7V will count as a Leman Russ, however it is oversized. The main cannon is magnetized so it can be swapped.
Current focus is (other than Death Guard) is replacing the eagle on the box. Got a nice stencil printed out, trying to decide if I want to burn it on or paint it.

The artillery Kanones are from the brand "Trumpeter." The ones I bought were singles, off ebay, from all over the US. They were MUCH cheaper than direct Forge-World products, and I like the look better.

Finally got around to doing some more lid work! Laid a few more magnet strips in, but the strips are too weak to hold the models securely, so I added mini neodymium magnets so snap the models to. Here's a picture of the new stenciled eagle!

The model is an A7V, stripped the interior MGs and front hull mount to replace with hardpoint for a hull mount. Magnets on the inside hold the sponsons on if desired, and the barrel was mounted in the top viewports (also magnetized).
Also, what is EDC?

It looks to be the Meng A7V based on his WIP picture (that kit has a full interior).

I believe that is the initials of his username.
Also, are those Takom 21cm Morser 16's I see in some of your pictures?

That would make sense. The model does have full interior, the unarmored model is one of the first images posted. There are also interior LEDs mounted with wires run to the driver seat.
Those are indeed Mörsers

Been a little while, but finally got around to finishing up some random models. There's a Death Rider Colonel, custom work to fit the head to the Rider model. Engineer with a modified uniform, and I decided to go with red for the grenadiers, very shock troop, much firepower.

Random update - project still well underway. Final counts of artillery crew have been obtained and mounted, another 2 squads of infantry (mostly) painted. Converted mud mixture to GW's texture paints, I like it much better. 8th edition threw the Krieg a couple curve balls, but nothing they can't reorganize to fit.
Stay tuned for more!
