Jud is back in the trenches!

I've just seen the new rules for Deathriders in 8th.

golly!! They're total beasts!

I thought they were good before but now they're incredible!

Hunting lances are used on every charge, toughness 4, 2 attacks, 2 wounds each!

The mount puts out 2 attacks at strength 4 after the rider attacks.

If that wasn't enough, any wounds taken from strength 4 weapons are ignored on a 5+!!!

I now feel my project has gone from fluffy to power gaming!

Though I will still be going ahead with everything I have planned.

Can't express how chuffed I am at this point!!

Will be interesting to see how the rest of the list fleshes out.

Same mate,

 

Got up this morning and saw the profile, so happy! Like I tried some trial games out with my death riders using RR rules the other night, they where ok..but not astounding. The Death Riders though are everything we want in a unit! I feel they're going to be in the 17-20 points a model bracket. I'm super keen to see if the squadron commander can give death riders orders! so keen!! #tookeen

OK, it's been a while since I updated this thread.
I've been working on my third unit of Deathriders.
Since then the rules have been updated and I'm looking forward to fielding them in 8th.
Plans have changed. I'm now thinking that Artillery as well as Tanks and (lots) of infantry is the way forward!
Especially when the good lads at FW give us back the Heavy Artillery Carriages (Fantastic models!)
Here's the last of the Deathriders (for a little bit)
Thanks for looking!
Next up will be the Meltaguns for my Engineers.

Thanks for the likes people!

Finished my Engineer Meltaguns.

Should give the squad a bit of punch on top of those glorious Carcass Shells!

I was going to add a Heavy Flamer but I think a Mole Launcher will be a better option, also it'll fit in better WYSIWYG and all that.

Next up will be the Mole Launcher.

The force is coming together (slowly) but I'm loving it!

Hopefully the FW FAQ will be out soon so we can all see where we're headed.

Finally finished something for my Death Korps of Krieg!
I've been busy with other projects and commitments.
This is my Marshal, Marius Konstantin.
Hopefully he'll lead the 3rd Siege Regiment to many victories!(until he's dead or I find someone better!)
I mounted him on a slightly larger base than standard so he looks a bit better than the rank and file.
Here's the pics:

Thanks :thumbsup:

Very nice indeed, that model is just such a nice cast isn't it :wub:  the green and blue on the chest plate give a nice subtle splash of colour to the model!.

 

thanks for retaking some pics, appreciated.

 

cheers, Mithril

It really is a fantastic sculpt!

Thanks for the comment.

 

I've finished my Ensign with Regimental Standard!
Again I've gone for a gritty, weathered look.
I added the white skull on blue which is my army badge so expect to see that running through the force.
The 3's on there is to signify that they belong to the 3rd Siege Regiment, that's as far as I've got with the fluff!
Here's Ensign J2610:

Next up the Plasmagunners and Vox.

Thanks for the replies!

I'm trying to to keep the Krieg  muted and weathered while still tying them in with my Ultramarine.

The blue is because of that.

Finished the other members of my Command Squad!
I'm getting closer to building up my first 1500pt Krieg list!
At the moment I'm making up the shortfall with Primaris Ultramarines.
Had a good game vs Tyranids, I lost quite heavily but learned a lot.
Those turn 1 charges really hurt!
I'm playing a World Eaters army next. Hopefully I can use what I've learned
to better effect.
Here's the pics:

Not sure what's next for the Krieg.

It's either a Quadlauncher and crew or more infantry or more Deathriders.

What do you guys think?

OK then, Deathriders it is then!

Finished my first squad of 10 Engineers.

These are fantistic models and fun to paint.

I was going to add a Mole launcher to them but given how effective Carcuss shells have been

I chose to keep them with shotguns and a couple of Meltaguns.
