Well , I finally decided to hell with the money , I want a Death Korps army ! So started my collection yesterday at Salute , but due to Gamesday France hogging all the stuff amongst other issues , I never got what I wanted . Namely infantry . I like building my armies logically , HQ , Troops then everything else . So all I managed to lay my grubby paws on was : 3 Lascannon Teams , 2 Commissars and a Ryza Leman Russ Demolisher turret ( with Tank Commander and Trench Rails ) .
So , by now you must be wondering whats the point of this blog ? Simple , I hope to slowly build up my Cyber Germans , and show all the ideas I have for the bases , paint scheme and all the sundry bits involved in assembling , painting and gaming with a GW army . Or Forge World in this case .
So , lets get started .
Paint Scheme : I look at the Death Korps , I think German WW1 infantry . I know they could be generic WW1 troopers , but to me it's the German Imperial Army . So , browsing Waterstones on Friday I came across an Osprey book dealing with German infantry uniforms 1917-1918 . And I immediately saw something I liked . Managed to find an example to show you
Here . As for the rest ,
Trenchcoats ,
Commissar's Hat and
miscellaneous equipment .
I have still got to browse the Vallejo paint line for colours to match , so that will be a later update .
Well this is just a start , so watch this space for more , if somewhat infrequent , updates . It is after all being ordered from Forge World , so who knows how long it will take me !
