Kill Team Christmas Challenge - part 5

 

Kill Team Veteran Guardsmen Death Korps of Krieg WIP

Greetings and welcome to part five of my WIP project to paint a Kill Team veteran guard unit for Kill Team as part of the Goonhammer Kill Team Christmas Challenge.  The project is coming to a close (as is the project deadline!) but I have some weathering and a few other bits and bobs to do.

This week, I got the transfers put on.  Above you can see the 262nd regiment number on the right shoulders. And below we have the Astra Militarum eagle on the left.

I also got some subtle highlighting on the armor and greatcoats. I also looked at individual details that hadn't been painted yet.

In the closeup above, I've painted in the ribbon bar noting this veteran's citations and accomplishments.

Here we have the pages of the Imperial Primer this veteran is reading from; another use of the Micron .005 pens (can't say enough good things about these pens for adding fine details!).

An although a minor detail, I thought the fuel tanks needed something to break up all the green.  So there is a red cylinder, likely noting a volatile chemical mixed into the promethium to enhance the Emperor's fiery wrath (and justice!).

So, I'm nearing the finish line.  I mean, I could call it quits at any point now as the models are fully painted here.  But I'd like to go the extra distance with weathering the great cloaks where they meet the ground, and to enhance highlights elsewhere.  Also, I've done basically nothing with the re-breather boxes on their chests.  Probably could add some details there.

My next post should be the last post on this project, possible a relief to some 😉.  Check back next week to see how the finished models look in the light box.

Stay safe out there.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!
