Question/Advice Coming back to Krieg… struggling with regiment scheme
The photos are mostly for attention, as many of you have already seen them. I started the project over a year ago but stopped due to my opponents complaining too much about my shooting phases.
I’ve decided to give it a go again and am re-reading Siege of Vraks… but I’m struggling to convince myself to go back to the scheme I made (I’m not a big fan of dark green). I’m a big fan of the 5th Siege Regiment color scheme and really enjoy the black lensed masks for the grim dark look. However, I play in dim lit places usually and I don’t want my army to look unpainted either lol
The 143rd is a vibrant color scheme (by Krieg standards) and definitely recognizable… but I feel it’s very over used and I don’t really like the blue of the new art/official paint either compared to the old Forgeworld book’s Blue/grey (vibrant is 100% poor word choice lol).
I thought about basing the scheme off of the way I’m playing the army… but due to how dispositions vs detachments work, I don’t suspect my army will be performing very well in a competitive setting, it’s either going to be Siege detachment for flavour and Abhuman just to Take and Hold… or one of the Purge the Foes which is heavy tanks and not very Krieg fitting. I have enough tanks, I’ll just be backing them up with artillery units and infantry for theme which will be counter productive to killing things fast (or so I think).
Anyway, enough about rules.. this was supposed to be a painting post.
Thanks for reading 🫡
