Death Korps of Krieg part 8

Weathering and Base Coating

I finished up all the weathering on the base camo on the tanks. This includes the paint chipping in spots and dirt and grime and rain streaks all over the tanks. They still need to be tightened up and brought more into focus but adding all the details and additional blending will do this. So far I'm proud of how they've turned out.







Now that the base Coats are done on the tanks I started airbrushing the base coats of my valks/vendettas. I could have gone with the same paint scheme and added an off white color to the bottom of the planes and it would have looked all right. I ended up going with more of an Imperial Navy look though. My reason for doing so is that some day I want to own about 8 valks/vendettas, 1 vulture gun ship, 1 of the world war 2 looking bombers and a couple of the lightning or thunderbolts and have a full apoc or just for fun only Imperial navy army. This is only a dream right now but I decided to go ahead and paint my vehicles to match my future IN project. This will also add a little variation in my army and break up the gray/desert camo pattern of all the tanks. I went with a gray top and a bone colored bottom.

Paint Initiated!

I've picked out my paint scheme. I've started airbrushing on the base coats. Right now they look very 'steel legion'. They won't when all is said and done though. I didn't want my stuff to be the normal dark grays of the Dkok's so I picked out a more 'stand outish' color scheme and went with it. The Camo pattern is done with masking tape and codex gray and desert yellow. Now for the weathering the funnest part of the hobby for me. You get to take something meh and smack it with the realistic stick. More updates soon!
