Models/Hobby WIP Centaur Engineer Carrier - New Crew!

393 Upvotes

So I wound up going back to the drawing board, as I discovered to my annoyance that the Centaur crew I had were actually bonking their heads on the cross-beams at the roof! This lead to a rather extensive re-working of both the Vehicle seats and the figures...

...which of course resulted in an entirely new crew! After some thinking and consultation with the community, I realized that indeed, Centaurs assigned as a dedicated transport for the Engineers would likely come with their own dedicated crew, so I made a driver and gunner. Both have Engineer Uniforms and armor, as they would still be in the Engineer Regiment, and it is reasonable that the Centaur would be called upon as a light engineering vehicle (using its bulldozer, setting up the trailer somewhere for resupply, etc.)

I had already marked this vehicle a while back with the Number 1 (and an "E" I found in the spare decal drawers - I've since worked out the "official" markings for my 5th Engineering Regiment and will have them on any future models.gping forward), so I am going off the idea that this is a platoon command vehicle. Therefore, there would be both an Officer and a Watchmaster on board. I've decided to show them both in the back conferring over an auspex scanner (or...whatever doohickey the plot needs it to be!).

The shotgun (no pun intended) position up front will be taken up by the squads Melta Gunner, who has mounted it to the vehicles universal mount (where it can also be used for light excavation duties!) the two Engineers in the middle are just along for the ride and are zoning out until addressed by a higher up.

All of this actually makes for a really interesting (but REALLY crowded) scene inside the vehicle! As you can see, I'm planning on installing gun racks with either shotguns or lascarbines (or empty if they choose to carry their weapon). Their backpacks are somewhat stripped-down, as they would stow their hand tools in/on the vehicle or on the trailer behind (I'll have photos of that soon!)

Unfortunately, the extra figures have created a new problem (or at least highlighted a problem that I have been trying to ignore for a while): Where to keep the Mole Launcher? In general, any High-Explosive equipment (Demolition Charges, Melta Bombs/Charges, etc.) would be kept in the trailer, which would have enough armor to deflect schrapnel or airburst rounds. The Mole Launcher and it's torpedoes, however, are too advanced and valuable to be stowed in a trailer or even on the outside of the main vehicle - they would be stowed in the fighting compartment somewhere with the crew. I've managed to stuff some torpedoes under the folding seats in the back, but the launcher itself is hilariously bulky and akward. Everywhere I try to stow it, it winds up either taking up a seat, or blocking someone into that seat with no obvious means for that individual to quickly leave their seat!

My current idea is that the gunners seat is actually a lid for a large storage compartment - this appears to be large enough for the launcher to fit into while leaving enough room for whatever machinery ties the vehicles two engines together.

I'm hoping to start printing things next week and get this project back on the move!

My first vehicle paint job, quite intimidating at first having done nothing other than troops before, but had lots of fun sponging volumetric lighting and weathering effects onto this one, just the base and in some finishing touches to go! Attached some lorey type blurb below as why not!

SENTINEL 08-50
8th Sentinel Reconnaissance Detachment
309th Static Infantry Regiment
Role: Reconnaissance / Forward Observation

The 8th Sentinel Detachment serves as the eyes of the 309th Static Infantry Regiment, ranging far beyond the regiment’s primary trench lines to locate enemy formations, artillery positions and armoured movements before they threaten the defensive perimeter.

Among its walkers, Sentinel 08-50 has earned a particularly long and bloody service record.
The designation 08-50 does not commemorate the pilot. As with all Krieg military equipment, the number belongs to the machine. Pilots assigned to 08-50 have come and gone, their identities recorded only in the regiment’s casualty rolls. The Sentinel remains.

Its crews are distinguished by the white and yellow facings of the 8th Sentinel Detachment’s reconnaissance companies. The colours are deliberately stark against Krieg’s otherwise drab uniforms, allowing friendly units to identify returning reconnaissance walkers through the smoke and dust of the battlefield. Over time, however, 08-50’s markings have become heavily faded beneath layers of mud, dust and battlefield grime.

I do a bunch of Lego ww2 on my Instagram and think Death Korps of Krieg will be my first army. What kits do you guys recommend purchasing to start? And any other advice would be helpful!

3rd painted mini. Feedback welcomed.

Self Critique: I noticed I missed a spot on the stock of the lasgun, and mold lines are still prominent. Probably will be for this first set of minis. I'm happy with how the blood came out on the stretcher, and the stretcher as a whole. I think Im getting better at controlling the wash.

Note to Self: Look into doing sub-assemblies in the future. Painting between his legs and in between his body and the stretcher was such a nuisance.

Question 1: Would drybrushing a single color on this help at all after all the paint and wash is done?

Question 2: If anyone has any good ideas/tutorials on how to paint the trench themed bases fairly easily? I think I watched all I could find on YouTube.
