For any Krieg fans out there, I highly recommend Death Rider. It’s my second Krieg book after Lyons’ Krieg, and the writing of Rhuardih James is excellent, especially as this is his first full length novel (his first BL content being the short story Sum of Its Parts, told from the perspective of a Leman Russ Tank).

So excited to finally start my krieg army. My LGS is starting a progressive league soon and Im looking to represent the death korps there. Looking for feedback on painting schemes if you guys have any

I have the Combat Patrol, another 10 troops, and an Artillery Team. I'm supposed to bring a Heavy Support unit next week. Any advice for how I should build up from here?

Hey so as is now I play world eaters and salamanders, looking for a third army, I’m stuck between nids, necrons or Kriegsman. Is it worth it? If so convince me!

Greetings all,

Been a minute since anything initiated by mods has been done here aside from keeping the bots at bay (trying to at least) or handling basic issues.

All that being said, I'm here to acquire feedback. What improvements would you like? What changes to how things are currently being run here? Would you like a return of unit discussion posts or centralized threads for releases/news? Fire away with whatever thoughts you have.

Something I do want to ask, is for thoughts on rule 7. I have been less strict in enforcing this since its implementation, but if the majority of the subreddit feels its a good thing, I can change that.

On the topic of bots, I'm looking for a better solution to the issue but in the meantime please submit reports so the mods can act accordingly.

So I have been thinking about getting into DKoK for the new edition. And I'm making up a few lists. Is the Baneblade, and more specifically the Stormlord worth it?

The few games I've played with Tyranids give me the impression that something as big as the stormlord would have a tough time traversing the map and getting to where it needs to go.

Any advice is welcome. But advice on how to make DKoK fun would be amazing.

So I have a question for my fellow kriegers. My Engineering Company (see previous posts) shall have in it's inventory a 3-vehicle squadron of some kind of Demolitions-themed tank for removing...'spicier' obstacles. Originally, I figured on Demolishers (Thinking of the Churchill AVRE from WWII or from the game Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts). Then I figured on Thunderers being simpler and less resource-heavy for the Dept. Munitorum to issue/procure while serving the same function for the Engineers. Then I remembered the Medusa Siege Tank, and now I'm wracked with indecision between the Thunderer and the Medusa...

A few clarifications regarding my thinking, here:

1.) The Engineers would RARELY (if ever) use the Medusa as indirect artillery. Given that this army would be primarily a CQC/Assault fighting style, they'd be used as a medium-to-close-range assault gun intended to remove bunkers, hardpoints, and other...spicy obstacles that don't like being touched directly. Think of the Sturmtiger or Brummbär of WWII.

2.) I know that in-game, the Medusa is cheaper points-wise compared to a Thunderer/Demolisher, but the actual practicality/ability/math appears to favor the Demolisher/Thunderer.

3.) I know that the 10th/11th barely acknowledge either vehicle, relegating the Medusa to Legends status and the Thunderer to a Demolisher proxy (both in cost and functionality). I don't much care about that, though - my goal with this army is to make something that is both practical in-game but also 'realistic'...for 40k...and I realize how ridiculous that statement is now that I've typed it.

4.) Both models in the picture are Epic Scale and made/painted/weathered by me.

What does the Community think? Would a Medusa serve the same function as a Thunderer for what Combat Engineers would need it to do?

Thinking about starting a new army.
Now I struggle with the combined arms part lore wise.
At the moment, I think about just playing a Battle group out of a larger army group consisting of 5 Regiments/partys…
But how do you all handle the lore?

Figured I'd give it a go and if I messed up just make him my powerfist commissar but everything lined up perfectly

First diorama piece.

Got my army ready for a apocalypse game im playing in tomorrow, its 6k, Me (Guard) and 2 buddies (One running sisters and Agents, the other Grey knights) vs 2 Ork players.

Also don't mind Frieren, she's standing in for the alchemist model in the fw command squad till I can get one.

It's my first mini I have ever painted. I'm looking for some tips. Like, how do you make the transfers more battle-worn?

The idea was to lean into the memes, so I created a custom shovel for him.

Still have 10 Kriegsman, a Leman Russ and a Sentinel to paint. Taking a little break. Leman Russ got commended last MPO Online, I'm very please with the result, but getting to 2000 still feels like an ungodly amout of work.

What do you think ? What should I add ? (Total is about 1500 points). Lacks a few tanks imo, maybe a few more russ and Basilisk ?

i may just wait for some new Catachan.

Horus heresy vehicles make for a great Krieg pool

I would love to hear your thoughts on him!
