Exterminator cannon is a 5 dollar bit on the gw website.

linky please...??

Here!

[Trooper Caffran]

thank you very much sir

[Lokaar]

New stuff, and damn but it looks good!  This lot'll send me bankrupt!

I especially like that they've done some special weapons for the grenadeers (no plasma yet though )
But I have to be honest, unless you can get more than one per HS slot, I doubt very much if I'll get either of the artillery pieces.

i just got $500 and i know what i am buying!

[Col.Gravis]

Oh me on my, those guns are ......  I want lol

[Armored Kangaroo]

Holy #$%@. Forge world is really going all out for this next Imperial Armor. With this mush stuff released GW could fall back on it and make this the new standard plastic infantry. Or at least keep some regularly stocked in stores. (both unlikly but that would be be unbeleivably awesome if they did.)

[Talon Undecided]

A lot of artillery, this Death Korps. Anyone's been counting?

Medusa Siege Gun, Earthshaker, Thudd Gun, Heavy Mortar... Not to mention the Heavy Support that's come out. It's going to be a pain building a list for Heavy Support.

And now we know that the Grenadiers are going to get a heavy weapon.

[Lord Commissar Spiteful]

Just out of curiosity, DO they plan on making Krieg Superheavies. I saw bits and pieces for conversions, but I was hoping they'd make something especiialy spectacular before teh release.

Oh, and I thought you might appreciate this:

Your looking at them....all they are getting is an upgrade kit. I wasn't impressed by the Super Heavy stuff. There is already more detail on them to out do any upgrade kit they can think up for them.....BORING!

Now that Earthshaker....SWEE T! It's got Praetorians written all over it! I want one..or 2...or 3....

Interesting that Grenadiers got heavy weapons...since we all know that Stormies and Grenadiers no longer get HWs in the IG Codex. Something I haven't seen since 2nd Ed IG....Heh...then again...when was the last time you saw a Thudd Gun too..right!

[lasblaster]

Or maybe the single heavy stubber is going to be a special weapon choice, while the TL one is heavy. That would be kinda nice, you could put put a ton of shots per turn.

[Locarno]

That is a big gun. I just find myself asking how many heavy support choices a death korps army is going to get...

[Harrison]

 

Wow...my jaw actually dropped when I saw it..
I need that gun, or a battery of them!!! that or a earthshaker battery...ugh, I need money

I really do plan on getting one to 2 of those guns though

Overall, the Death Korps are very good. But I'd love it if I got my hands on those Imperial Tanks in ForgeWorld. The Armageddon Pattern Basilisk is one of my favourites.

[Vespasian Swiper]

I'm loving the new artillery they keep bringing out, and its even better that they copied WW2 Russian artillery so blatantly as there should be a 1/35 scale kit out there somewhere for one.

I'm still praying that some Cadian conversion parts will appear to crew those machines

[Col.Gravis]

You need cadian crew? The plastics should do the job spot on (with parts from the Tank Accessory & Heavy Weapons Sprues) for next to nothing compaired to a FW price.

[Vespasian Swiper]

Ah good thinking, I was looking at the ones with crew and the Trojan and will have to work out sums to see if its worth while. Its great to return from Russia with lots of images of WW2 equipment and see how to use GW and 1/35 parts to recreate them.

However the 'German' feeling of the range is getting sapped a little by the sudden inclusion of 'Russian style' artillery.

[Harrison]

*sigh* you are right, it does have the Soviet "God of War" feel to it. I want some just because it looks good, I've been looking for a 1/35 scale big artillery piece, and have yet to find one. But like the Thudd Gun, I'm making my own and making it look like the US M-8 rocket launcher(stronger than the Land Mattress and weaker than the Nebelwerfer.) But again I think that it(the heavy artillery) fits the WWI Heavy Artillery feel to me.

*shrug* it can go both ways

~Harrison, Commissar, 40th Corps.

[LeagueOfEvil]

The death korps of krieg are basically WW1 German soldiers (trench warfare, hell they even have trenchcoats :O).

I would love to make a pure infantry army of these guys (with artillery but without armour). To really do the quality, style and 'idea' of the models justice. No conscripts, just loads of artillery and infantry. Don't know how sucessful it'd be and I better make a lot of money to afford it lol.

At the moment I'm planning on buying the "at ease" squad and using them for veterans, throw in a few plasma guns or something for a nice veteran squad . Maybe a BS4 lascannon, iunno yet . But they suit my idea of a nice veteran squad. My army is ww2 german and I figure I can paint them black SS style. Anyone spell instant death counter attack squad

[Killgore]

my DK Grenadier squad and command squad arrived yesterday, fantastic models!

got my C squad primed ready for painting when i get home from work tonight,

i got a week to paint these 15 models as i get payed next friday then I'll let myself buy next months DK models

probaly squad advancing 1 and 2

[Col.Gravis]

Just a tidbit Krieg fans will be interested in, did'nt seem to justify its own thread so I thought this would probably be the best place to add it - the Death Riders are almost with us.

I spoke to a couple of people on the Forge World stand at Conflict Bristol yesterday, turns out the models are finished, they're just working on how best to cast them, the mounts are apparently largely in one piece with bits to be attached (presumeably like elements of the 'gas mask'), the lances are going to be brass rod much like the standard bearers pole with an attached explosive tip in again in resin.
