From EricM: Off to a Slow Start-Death Korps of Krieg (50 points)

I am off to a slow start in the challenge this year.  But its better late than never.   Lately I have been pulled into the "new" Warhammer 40,000.  They have done such a great job of reworking the game and there are just too many pretty miniatures to resist.   I have been working on a mix of 40k stuff but for the start of the challenge I went back to an old favorite, Death Korps of Krieg.   Forgeworld makes a great line of these grim guardsmen with a strong World War I flavor.

Here are the guys.  I tried for a french horizon blue look to try to keep them from being too dark.

Next are a few close ups of some of the guys

I was trying for a sense of trench warfare with the basing but I felt like it was too dark with just mud and barbed wire so I added some snow,  I am really not sure if I like it or not.

10-28mm Infantry should be 50 points

Now that we are through the holidays I hope to increase my painting time and hit my goal of 1500 points.

What, more French again? Cardinal Biggles, give the rack another turn!

Death Korps of Krieg are usually Germanesque, so the use of horizon blue is a nice touch. It's well executed and not too dark at all. The strip atop the helmet does evoke the Adrian, so I think it works quite well. 

Cardinal Fang . . . fetch FIFTY POINTS!
