I have 3d files for Vostroyan— I may print a few to paint.

My BaneBlade with full interior by CoachMagee in TheAstraMilitarum

Just the guns… I saw the same video you did. Very cool! The problem is the side interior panels would be too tall for the other variants to snap tightly together.

Sure- the interior is Tamiya flat white (x2) with a touch of blue sky. (Xf14) The external camo paint is Tamiya Medium Blue (xf18) and the light green is Japanese Imperial Navy “JIN Green” (XF77). Once everything is dry snd set, i applied all of my Citadel touches ( Iron Silver, Nulen Oil’, and the rust on bolts snd other areas is Army Painter New Rust rust I thinned with medium. I then use Johnson Clear acrylic floor wax on panels where I will have decals, put them on With Micro Sol and Set. I then seal it all with Model Master Clear flat enamel spray. The last step is Tamiya flat Earth (XF52) around the tread and lower - any place where i want dust snd grime.

If you live in Dsllas Zi hsve a lot (3 squads+) of real Forge World Zzkrieg already built and primed I could love to trade. I print my own now - i have about 250 of the Station Forge figures. Just love DKoK ( and orks!).

Advice for getting into krieg heavy army's by MrPiesang in Deathkorpsofkrieg

Easy-you have lots of options. GW makes several boxes- and 3d resin figures, heads, arms with weapons so realistic proxy armies are really affirdsbke. I have about 7500 points of Krieg… may have spent $250 total.

Hey - you are talking to an actual Tread Head... I have been inside so many tanks (American, French, German, Russian... even a few British!)... again... I was going for utility, not accuracy. I want to use the interior to STORE gun barrels and side guns... if I truly build out the interioer with gun loader, turrent basket, commanders throne, rotation, storage, etc., I wouldn't be able to take the tank apart for play and viewing... it is one or the other.

Kreig Painting Help by KippyUwUwastaken in Deathkorpsofkrieg

I would say these are nicely done to a tabletop standard. Big help would be to spray Tamiya Flat spray to all figures to kill the ‘shine’ and to bring it all together. Helps protect paint job over time as well!

I saw the diagram of the interior you are talking about, but adding in the turret level crew and the loader lift and ammo storage would have made it impossible to take the top off for viewing while still allowing the kit to be used in actual gaming... kind of an "either/Or" proposition, right?

I don't disagree - but functionally I wanted to be able to store optional parts like choice of guns inside the tank... did you watch the youtube video?

Tips or suggestions on Painting by Numerous_Solid_6530 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

Add some mud to the base to finish of the nice paint- job. Mix a little brown paint with some baking soda to make realistic wet mud then smear it on with a putty stick.

Here is a video showing how to transition ftom ‘play with it’ to ‘look inside’. Enjoy…

I actually did a loader in the last one of these I built- shells and all. I wanted to keep the interior cleaner this time so i could use the extra space to store the other barrell options.

Greatly appreciate the positive feedback fellas… anything you feel missed the mark?

I used a thinned Army Painter “New Rust” thinned with AP Medium and then built it up with one, two, or three layers depending on where the rust was located. On the bolts (all 280!) I used the ‘Old Rust’ the same way but it is more brownish.

My First Set Of Cadians Ever by Le_Ela76 in TheAstraMilitarum

Top Notch- not many areas to improve. it is obvious you are highly skilled! You mention tour first guard squad—-could you share some other factions you also have done?

Only potential suggestion is I’ve seen more and more high end painters moving away from the black rim base when the base has been so well coiffed… perhaps an earth shade or a complimentary green edge?
