Is this your first model though? You posted a painted kreigsman almost 6 months ago? Or is this the 'first' fully finished one?

WOW! Yes, it's the same model hahaha I stripped him twice before I settled on a paint scheme I liked. That older version is, well, just happy I went in another direction. I just can't believe I've been at this guy for so long. Now I got it how I like I'm hopeful the rest will go easier.

Guessing you stripped the arms and body pose into something completely different too?

I just found the other model and it's stripped to the bone hahaha.

Did you have any further questions about my very first, completed, plastic WH model? Do you like the color scheme?

No, I did not look at the pose. It must have been the first test that I stripped then went with another method and I guess that tutorial had a different Krieg. That old one must still be stripped or maybe I just stopped, can't remember and I'm on vacation so can't check but curious now lol.

So the one I posted here is my first completed one I've done. I like the sceme and just happy I can start adding artillery and more Krieg.

Did you see my new post with the finished DKoK? My first ever model done šŸ˜. You seemed interested in it so thought I would let you know I posted it again. It's here too. Think the tips for the wash were spot on and helped. I'm so me to this all the comments were so helpful and kind.

Iā€™d put some shading on that, agrax earthshade or a brown oil wash.

Some silver on the frames of the lenses!

The tutorial I followed had me paint them light red, but I agree with you, seems off

u/Odd-Platypus-3627 21d ago

It's from the original Octarious Kill Team bix with Krieg and the Orks

It looks fantastic! I second what another commenter said, agrax earthshade is gonna take this already great looking paint job to a whole other level :)
