DKoK Artillery - TO DONE

 

Greetings and welcome back for some actual painting progress, at long last. With some satisfaction, I record the completion of this Death Korps of Krieg artillery piece; 1st Gun, 206th Battery, 262nd Siege Regiment. And the big seal o'DONE:

I struggled to build enough enthusiasm and inspiration to get this one across the finish line. I enjoy the completed look of my DKoK models, but I have never truly enjoyed the process of painting them, for one reason or another. However, I stuck to my rule of not moving on to a new painting project until the one on the desk is complete.  Thus the looong pause in painting projects for the blog, including my intent to complete a squad for Squaduary 2026, boooo!

That said, I'm enjoying the completion here and the results. I like that GW made this kits a small diorama in it's own right. That's partially what took up some time. I still want to go in with some weathering powders at some point.  But I haven't done that for the rest, so for now this piece matches the rest of the force.

Seen here, a crewman is performing maintenance on this piece while another is on over-watch and the third looks down range assessing possible targets. This gun has been giving the team problems lately, as evidenced by the array of tools and other gear laying about.

I did complete the stubby mortar barrel as well, but the multi-rocket and thud gun options have not been completed; and may never be.  As I completed this piece, I recognized that the howitzer look is very much to my liking. Here's a final top down look at the rear of the piece.

 

 So, there it is at long last.  And now the real work; what to work on next?  I'm excited for several projects across LI, HH, and WH40K.  I have HH models to build, so that will likely be a palate cleanser while I wait and see where the muse strikes next.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope to keep the content flowing here from now on.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!
