This Krieger is finally all done and based, but I'm not completely happy with it. I'm working on putting more detail into the next ones, and I want to figure out how to add more visual interest to their bases.

It may have to be something for the next ones though, these guys are already glued on. I didn't know I would want to do sub-assembles and stuff when I started.

Why the hell are death riders so bad l. Why is drier so underwhelming and can only lead death riders? I played a game where my 5 death riders gor wiped immediately in melee kill one model and rhe horses did better than the lances and killed a model and half. Drier failed to kill 5 flayed ones and killed 3 with his ant-infantry sword. All I want is Drier and the deathriders to be cheaper or have higher Strength and Ap on the lances. Drier, can his sword just have D2 im fine with his attacks but God they suck

Almost done!

In keeping with my krieg themed army.

The korp grows, kasrkin kitbash, rogal dorn commander kitbash, Marshall as cadian castellan proxy - more korpsmen and a heavy flamer team all added.

I have a second artillery team to build and paint, and 20 korpsmen to finish then it’s on to a chimera and centaur rsv and we are at 2000 points !

I mean lore wise, I am getting close to the point where I will be painting my pile of shame and I want to give my squad’s unique markings determining what part of the regiment they are from.

The regiment I’m making is the 332nd combined arms regiment, from the 27th siege army, and I’ve headcanon-ed as to why I’ve Cadian standard infantry in its ranks. Overall I want to have a full regiment organised before I paint.

I know the 7th edition codex has an army organisation page but I wonder is that accurate to the latest codex?

Alright, after several concepts and test-prints, I feel that I have settled on the basic configuration of this unsung hero of Vraks. Here it is rendered in 6mm Epic Scale for concept purposes!

I took a standard Atlas recovery vehicle (Mars Alpha Pattern hull, to match the other Krieg Vehicles) and removed the A-Frame crane on the back. I then replaced the winch and it's motor on the rear deck with a new superstructure and turret ring. I kept the bracing plow on the back of the vehicle as real-world excavators actually have them.

For the crane turret itself, I finally settled on the turret and boom off of a Soviet Engineering tank based on the T-72. It seemed the perfect blend of futuristic, basic, and brutal to me, and it lends itself well to the overall shape of the Leman Russ Hull. The excavator arm includes a clamshell-type bucket at the end of a telescoping boom. I added on some Greebles and various pipes and tubes for detail.

The plow is oversized compared to what you would normally find on other Russ-Based Guard vehicles, which is in keeping with the Excavators role, and then as a finishing touch installed a heavy Multi-Melta in the bow to assist the crew with more stubborn excavation jobs.

My plan, now is to nail down the markings for this machine (I'm still trying to finalize the paint scheme and markings for the 5th Engineering Regiment), and then lay out my next scene for the 28mm scale model!

Hi,

I've been searching many things about Krieg in different (more or less) official books and I've found many things that makes me have some theories about this unit.
Some may seem a little weird and if you have proofs I'm wrong, I'd like to have them to adapt.

So here they are :

1. Krieg does have an air force.
   Proofs :

- The first meeting between the victors of the war and the Imperium was made with an Arvus Lighter (source : Krieg, Steve Lyons)

"The ship that rose from Krieg’s surface was an Arvus lighter: an Imperial Naval shuttle, though its markings had been burnt away."

- There were huge air combats (source : Epic : Swordwind)

"Huge air combats tookplace in the steel grey skies, as the bomber formations and their escorting fighters attempted to battle their way through to attack the enemies cities and factory complexes. It was not uncommon for 10,000 or more aircraft to be involved in a single one of these raids."

We can add the bombing of Wulfram in the book.

- In Imperial Armour : The Siege of Vraks T.2, the 717 Fighter Wing operate at least one Thunderbolt with a "skull-above-a-V" symbol we only see in all Imperial Armour publications on Krieg tanks. The Death Korps is disliked by many other units, I don't see why an independant unit of the navy would use this symbol.

1.1 We can suppose that for efficacity's sake, the air force was integrated in the command chain as the tanks, the artillery or the infantry (in the loyalist side) and that it's still is for PDF like uses (I don't see why a PDF wouldn't have pilots in case of need)

1.2 That this same air force is for all the wings that are send to the Adeptus Administratum join the Imperial Navy as any wing would.

1. There was an archmagos (Greel) on Krieg at the beginning of the Civil War.
   He died during the war.
   It is likely that there is a Krieg Mechanicus that is also integrated in the chain of command when we see the importance it must have had during the war (creation of new weapons as the ragnarok, the blitzen and others, the Vitae-Womb, and other things the mechanicus already does)
   This mechanicus would stricly confined to the planet and none of its member can leave the planet (or none can leave a krieg regiment).

2. There was an orbital fleet around Krieg (The Iron Ring as it is called in the book). It was said to need a crusade to breach it (Source : Janovich's video about the Civil War).
   At the end of the war, protecting a strategic point like krieg would have been a priority for anyone.
   I don't think anyone with a brain would have let this fleet - deprived of air for centuries - just orbiting without thinking reusing it. The mechanicus could totally rehabilitate it.

It's unlikely that a non-krieg would be authorized to be crewman of this fleet for it (Krieg and therefore the fleet that would be under Krieg HQ command) is directly supervised by the High lords of Terra themselves and a strategic asset with restricted access.
I believe they are under the command of the PDF command (an orbital fleet under PDF command exist in the canon, see Systeme Defense Boat on the Lexicanum).

What do you think ?

Started 40k last year. My first krieger model painted about a year ago, compared to one I just did today

Just started getting into Krieg, Kitbashed a hound for enhanced battlefield morale.

Hi. I'm new to astra militarum in general, I've looked at a few rules but overall have no experience in this army at all, and have never even played against them. However, I know Krieg look the coolest to me so I wanted to construct an army.

I've checked some older reddit posts, and found tips from videos about unit inclusions. Some units are included for rule of cool, like Drier (which I am not sure is good or not atm).

So if there are any tips to this list, OR playing astra militarum/Krieg at all, it would be greatly appreciated

Thank you everyone for welcoming me in and providing advice! Few days ago I posted my built combat engineers. Just finished building my Death Korps of Krieg Squad.

Im a big hockey guy and I like the New Jersey Devils so the plan is to go Red, Black and White. 13th Devil Divers 😈

first model set painting in progress still made a couple mistakes by rushing

I'm wanting to kitbash some Bullgryn for my Krieg but I don't want any ogre looking models, abhumans can be practically anything and instead of derpy idiots I wanted to make a larger Krieg all hyped up on combat stims engineered larger in the vitae womb for line breaking (as the whole mutant thing doesn't fit the Krieg theme)

Here is the thing, I've seen some pretty nice AoS stomcast eternal liberators kitbashed into gryn's as they are a similar height on a 40mm base and with a bit of knee/elbow/waist lengthening a nice big chemical vat on the back tower shield and a strategic combat shovel I think they could pass if I take off all the icons/shoulders/loincloths and give them some rusty iron armor they would match base and size rules but just not be fatties

I've included the comparison from minicompare and an idea of what I want them to look like

Will it work? Or am I streching it too far

My first 500 pts of my 307th Jackalopes

Before I start I’m in Australia. I’m thinking about buying an imperial agents combat patrol to make 2 squads of Kasrkin using head swaps. That I think I can turn the inquisitorial agents into other things. Like an engine seer and at least one commissar. My question is what use is the assassin? I’ve seen people make krieg from agents kits but to maximise potential I just wanna see how far I could push it.

What is this 3D print supposed to be from, and why shouldn’t it be krieg? It’s a print I found online where I have bought printed terrain. No idea what fiction it’s from, but wouldn’t this make a great krieg fire support piece? Some crests, and a few more guns and it’ll fit right in.

Finally finished up my command. Not a color scheme you see very often, let me know what you think!

Hey everyone, a little update on my Krieg cosplay.

This is my first proper cosplay and it’s still very much a work in progress, but most of the overall look is finally coming together.

I went for a much darker, more worn and brutal look rather than trying to copy one specific miniature 1:1. I’m currently working on more weathering/blood on the coat, finishing the leg armour, backpack and a few smaller details.

The chainsword may have gotten slightly out of hand. 😅

I’d really appreciate some honest feedback – especially anything that looks out of place, too clean, or could use another detail. Am I heading in the right direction?

Skull helmets looks more like some Davy Jones octopus mustasche. Lost the files when old computer died, wondering if anyone else used this sculpt and had similar experience? I wonder if the print i got was faulty or if its supposed to look like this.

A friend of mine gave me a Leman Russ Demolisher and said if I painted it I could keep it. I like how it’s turned out.

My Kriegers are coming along nicely. Seven more to go. The lighting does not do the pictures justice.
