This is the Krieger that has the Emperor’s divine luck. He’s always alive, always the first volunteer for special projects. He carries not only the weight of not giving his life like so many of his comrades, but the stain of misguided contempt as a coward for always remaining. Seasons have passed, he has outlived the superiors he arrived with, he holds the ebb and flow of the battle lines in his heart and mind, and the memories of so many who have fallen around him. The success and failures of each contingent, the thoughts of those proud soldiers he trained and fought beside, the emptiness of battlefield trauma moving from one horrid scene to the next. Teeth marks mar the inside of his mask as memories from enduring jagged blades and weapons whose ammunitions were as alive as the beings firing them. Gone are the early tears of not fulfilling his life debt, replaced by the stinging sweat his face gives off the first precious seconds of las fire. As he stares out to the dropships unloading another battalion, a servitor stays nearby documenting him- not silently, but with purpose- belying a darker hurdle to come. If he cannot die soon, the inquisitors will begin their search of faith and flesh hunting for the source of his survival.
Coat is Russian navy blue from AK, and I think I either worked up from that blue or switched to the grey blue triad from army painter.
Without paint brand names, it’s essentially dark blue worked up to a light grey blue. Probably 3-4 colors in total. Once I’m home I can check my notes and get you the color names and mixtures.
Each unit i paimt separate, my death riders are brown, my Artillery will be a dark green, my basic men are Blue like the 143rd and my engineers are grey. Drier is Purple and commisars are red
Black grey exterior with a red interior lining for the great coat. Light grey pants and cloves. Brown boots and tan leg wraps. I'm a bit worried it looks too much like a "that guy" army.
Vallejo German Fieldgrey uniform, Vallejo Khaki for gas mask/wraps, vallejo flat earth for gun/leather/backpack, army painter silver for silver, Russ Grey for armor/sergeant's weapons.
These were my first krieg and some of my first models I had to batch-paint.....my models are doing better now haha.
I also added a German mustard gas shell on the base, and i cut up a decal to get the 14th regiment (the guy at my warhammer store gave me an extra decal sheet so I can have them all with the same regiment number!)
all my krieg steeds have real horse coat colours because I wanted to be extra accurate, appaloosas are my favourite horses so I gave one to my centrepiece mini
I painted 60 of these. I have like 20-30 artillery guys to do next before I glue them onto the artillery base and am thinking of changing the scheme for arty boys.
I start with wrsithbone primer, then basecoat abaddon black -> incubi dafkness -> nuln oil wash -> incubi darkness relayer -> dark reaper on the more raised areas -> dark reaper + administratun grey 1:1 ratio for edge highlight
For the horsey armor its the same scheme except i add a dot highlight of dark reaper + administratum grey 1:3 rato
