Greetings!
The Kill Team Christmas Challenge project continues. The lads are looking much more Krieg-like now. There is SO much detail here though. So things are going a bit more slowly than expected and I want to do a good job on these guys, as the Krieg are near and dear to my start in bogging here.
The bedrolls and gas masks were painted and shaded.
Then the armor and other metal bits painted green (certain canisters, the radio, shovel blades) got a base coat as shown here. I took a break to get the new bases primed so they would be ready when it comes time to paint them up.
Then it was time to get back to the veterans. The armor was shaded, and some black laid down on the weapons and tool handles.
The Sergeant's power sword got a brass hilt and his helmet a brass Aquila. The rank and file get silver Aquila latter. He is a veteran sergeant after all! Everyone got brass buttons, though they aren't evident in this pic.
Moving to 5-man close ups to show the details better. Aquilas are painted now, as are the metal details on the gas masks and metal areas on the various weapons.
No additional shading of these areas yet. Some little details on the radio take shape.
The gas mask hoses are painted and the eye lenses. Next up, all of that will get shaded. But there are still details to get an initial base coat before I break out the shades.
I think the Flamethrower fuel tank needs a red canister in the center, so that remains unpainted as I noodle on that for a bit. Otherwise the gear is taking shape. So much highlighting yet to do...
And here's the squad all together again as they stand currently. Still a lot more to do,but plenty of time I feel. They are starting to look just like my old squads, so I've managed to keep the recipe consistent even with a few little tweaks and different techniques used here and there. I've come a long way in my painting since those first Krieg squads were painted.
Check back next week for more updates. I've very psyched to get these guardsmen painted up!
Stay safe out there.
Cheers and Happy Gaming!
