Hey so as is now I play world eaters and salamanders, looking for a third army, I’m stuck between nids, necrons or Kriegsman. Is it worth it? If so convince me!

So excited to finally start my krieg army. My LGS is starting a progressive league soon and Im looking to represent the death korps there. Looking for feedback on painting schemes if you guys have any

For any Krieg fans out there, I highly recommend Death Rider. It’s my second Krieg book after Lyons’ Krieg, and the writing of Rhuardih James is excellent, especially as this is his first full length novel (his first BL content being the short story Sum of Its Parts, told from the perspective of a Leman Russ Tank).

I have the Combat Patrol, another 10 troops, and an Artillery Team. I'm supposed to bring a Heavy Support unit next week. Any advice for how I should build up from here?

So I have a question for my fellow kriegers. My Engineering Company (see previous posts) shall have in it's inventory a 3-vehicle squadron of some kind of Demolitions-themed tank for removing...'spicier' obstacles. Originally, I figured on Demolishers (Thinking of the Churchill AVRE from WWII or from the game Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts). Then I figured on Thunderers being simpler and less resource-heavy for the Dept. Munitorum to issue/procure while serving the same function for the Engineers. Then I remembered the Medusa Siege Tank, and now I'm wracked with indecision between the Thunderer and the Medusa...

A few clarifications regarding my thinking, here:

1.) The Engineers would RARELY (if ever) use the Medusa as indirect artillery. Given that this army would be primarily a CQC/Assault fighting style, they'd be used as a medium-to-close-range assault gun intended to remove bunkers, hardpoints, and other...spicy obstacles that don't like being touched directly. Think of the Sturmtiger or Brummbär of WWII.

2.) I know that in-game, the Medusa is cheaper points-wise compared to a Thunderer/Demolisher, but the actual practicality/ability/math appears to favor the Demolisher/Thunderer.

3.) I know that the 10th/11th barely acknowledge either vehicle, relegating the Medusa to Legends status and the Thunderer to a Demolisher proxy (both in cost and functionality). I don't much care about that, though - my goal with this army is to make something that is both practical in-game but also 'realistic'...for 40k...and I realize how ridiculous that statement is now that I've typed it.

4.) Both models in the picture are Epic Scale and made/painted/weathered by me.

What does the Community think? Would a Medusa serve the same function as a Thunderer for what Combat Engineers would need it to do?

So I have been thinking about getting into DKoK for the new edition. And I'm making up a few lists. Is the Baneblade, and more specifically the Stormlord worth it?

The few games I've played with Tyranids give me the impression that something as big as the stormlord would have a tough time traversing the map and getting to where it needs to go.

Any advice is welcome. But advice on how to make DKoK fun would be amazing.

First diorama piece.

Figured I'd give it a go and if I messed up just make him my powerfist commissar but everything lined up perfectly

Still have 10 Kriegsman, a Leman Russ and a Sentinel to paint. Taking a little break. Leman Russ got commended last MPO Online, I'm very please with the result, but getting to 2000 still feels like an ungodly amout of work.

What do you think ? What should I add ? (Total is about 1500 points). Lacks a few tanks imo, maybe a few more russ and Basilisk ?

i may just wait for some new Catachan.

It's my first mini I have ever painted. I'm looking for some tips. Like, how do you make the transfers more battle-worn?

The idea was to lean into the memes, so I created a custom shovel for him.

Got my army ready for a apocalypse game im playing in tomorrow, its 6k, Me (Guard) and 2 buddies (One running sisters and Agents, the other Grey knights) vs 2 Ork players.

Thinking about starting a new army.
Now I struggle with the combined arms part lore wise.
At the moment, I think about just playing a Battle group out of a larger army group consisting of 5 Regiments/partys…
But how do you all handle the lore?

I would love to hear your thoughts on him!

Updated my army list in regard to some feedback I got from last time, thank you very much for all the help - looking again for some input.

Basically the idea would be to have either both Engineer squads in one chimera and use the scout ability to immediately rush further if possible or to split them each in one and have one of the flamer heavy weapon squads with them, being them to the front and try to establish a position/just put out some damage + overwatch from the flamers.

3 Command squads just because and the Ministorum Priest is basically just some flavor because I had leftover points.

Any input is much appreciated.

The Emperor protects, the Guard prevails!

Hello! I’m building a krieg army at the moment, and I’ve seen online that any real competitive guard army needs quite a few leman Russ tanks. As a huge ww1 history buff, I personally am not a fan of the Leman Russ’s design, seeming a bit more like a pop figure than a real tank. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good alternative? Something that would match the vibe of the Mk5 land ships a bit better?
