**Balseraph** :
They are great. If they were a little smaller would be the perfect Blunderbuss unit š

**Ishkur Cinderhat** :
Blunderbusses? With those feeble guns? :smiley:
I have to admit though that converting Chaos Dwarves from Forge World Krieg soldiers would be the ultimate most expensive way to goā¦ I wonder why no one ever thought about it! LOL

**Ishkur Cinderhat** :
Wow thanks Kera, very nice of you to say that! :hat off
I have been busy during the past weekā¦ painting the Death Korps with the washes a is blast!
Junior officer with vox operator and special weapon trooper - a heavy weapon team will eventually complete this unit.
HQ unit - regimental standard and staff troopers (I like to imagine that they actually protect the standard, not the officer _gg_)
Senior Officer and master vox operator - I tried to keep the decoration of the uniform to a minimum, after all Krieg officers are not fond of such fuss. But the model comes with the lanyards and medals, and frankly Iām glad it does. ^^

**Ishkur Cinderhat** :
Hey Kera, donāt despair (or take a nap, that is) :wink:
The uniforms were painted _only_ with a selection the new citadel washes on white basecoat. These washes are perfect for shading minatures in a very natural way (much better than the army painter, IMO). Just have a try with devlan mud and maybe gryphonne sepia, and be excited about the results!
Now just to make sure this does not sound like a GW advertisement -
āRemember, GW is a bad omnipotent company craving absolute world domination!ā

Ooh, I almost missed this topic, shame on me. Really amazing paint job on these amazing models. This is by far the best looking Death Korps of Krieg army I have seen, just brilliant. Keep up the good work :cheers.

**Ishkur Cinderhat** :
Thanks for your kind comments, guys. :hat off Iām happy to see it was worthwile to reboot my whole deathkorps.
I have finally painted my Thudd Gun Battery. These have been standing around for 3 years now (and clam had to wait almost as long to see them - apologies mate! ;)). I tried a weathering method with oil paints for the first time, this is described in Imperial Armour Masterclass, but I find itās not easy to master. Also my paint thinner leaves a very glossy finish which even matt varnish cannot tone down. I guess for possible tanks I will have to use a different thinner or turn to white spirit instead.
Hope you like 'em!
I know my opponents on the battlefield wonāt. š

**Baggronor** :
Very, very cool š I like the lack of garish colours that are so often seen on many peopleās armies, nice and simple.
Any plans for vehicles?

Iām a Chaos Dwarfāer - Iām used to be waiting :smiley: - and Iām getting good at it - donāt you think?
- and have these been worth it?
Donāt really know what to sayā¦ justā¦ brilliant, f\*\*\*\*\*\* brilliant.
Really enjoy you choise of colours for these. It really suit the DKoKs.
How did you cover the use of transfers that well? any secrets to let us in on?
One with the HQ. Will there be a Commissar in there as well? Hope so :wink:

Hehe, there will be a Bombard, certainly. And I think the Death Korps is finally an excuse to get me that superheavy tank I've always wanted! One or two Hades Drills are also planned for my engineers. Those models are awesome!

Sure! [Mr. MarkSofter](http://www.hobbywave.com/modeling_supplies/decal/decal-setter-softer/mr-mark-softer.html) was my solution to all trouble with decals. I started using this for my Space Marines a few years ago, as those damn waterslides just wouldn't fit onto the round shoulder guards. It's really easy to apply and works nicely!
Commissar.. hm. Basically I haven't planned on having one, but I agree the FW ones are exceptionally cool -- I might add one, just for added flavour and colour. :)
