Critical Threat - Possibly a mid war sighting of Chaux Na M'rrsee

 Well, it was amongst a series of picts from an Imperial spy within Xyphonica, but unfortunately was supplied without context.

Cheers blogger. 

Helghan WIPs

So they have been mostly coloured in and I thought you might be interested, especially if you've ever played KillZone.

There is a plan to improve the lenses.  A pin head of white in the orange lens and then a final wash of yellow ink should make them look like the ones in the artwork.

Guys with Elysian rifles are possibly the most Helghan.

And these guys are CESFAW as well.

I'm looking forward to getting these finished.  A slightly lighter finish to the rubble for all of them and some tidying up on any bits I've missed and that's another detachment ready for the frontlines of Devos IV. 

And these are EoT era bulkytroopers with the same paint job.  I think they look Helghan enough.

 

A few more grenadiers

 

These are the last of the Grenadier models from the ebay purchase a few years ago.  These guys needed a little more kit to be CESFAW (carrying enough stuff for a war), so that was added and they were repainted to match the existing. 

 

There are fifteen individuals, which will add to the existing DKK genadiers and at some point, when the weather improves, I'll need to have a muster outside to see where I'm at in terms of ORBAT and vehicles.  

 

Another job lot of Hellguns, two heavy stubbers, a melta gun and a Heavy Flamer team, what's not to like ? 

 

And the Wachtmiester has a plasma pistol.  Which is nice.

These are the men Col Commandant Welbhann is holding as his fist to smash the schwerpunkt when he finds it, or failing that, a very convincing counter punch should he find his own lines pressured.

 

Oktoberfest lovin' men whose loyalty is beyond question. 

A friend of mine is selling an army whose loyalty is not so clear cut.  He's UK based.  If you're further afield, that might not be a be a blocker.  There are close to 150 models and only two sub units require any more work.  If it sparks your interest, pm me and I'll put you in touch.

DKK Standard. For the Grenadier Platoon

 

 

I felt the grenadier platoon deserved an effigy type standard to go along with the flag type.  And this spectral lady thingy appeared to fit the bill.  He is a 'normal' DKK soldier rather than a grenadier but I'll just to have lump it.  I had a kneeling fella with a Death Rider arm and had ordered the extra spooky lady specifically for this purpose.  No stopping now.

  

This is slightly clearer view of Scary Mary. I'm pretty sure that its an Andrew May sculpt of a Black Crab artwork.  You may recall some of the weirder looking members of The Tree of Man ecclesiastical group; they'd be from the same source.  I can imagine that Krieg folklore is chock full of Baba Yaga types, so that's who Scary Mary here is; a bogeywoman from Krieg's dark past.  

And here she is from the back. 

And the bearer is equipped for a war, which is important.  Scary Mary is resin, but so is the bearer.  If he was metal, he'd probably be man enough to hold her up without falling over, as it is, he isn't.  So the fix is a piece of roofing lead donated by my old man.
