Melbourne Museum currently has a quite somber exhibition from the Imperial War Museum on the Great War. Worth a look if you are in town for some first hand references...

Death Korps of Krieg Mortar Team...
To add to the growing army of muddy trench warriors I have recently finished this two man mortar team. A lot fiddlier than the larger, heavy siege mortar but a lot quicker to paint. Finished with AK Interactive and Mig enamels and powders over Games Workshop acrylics.

Krieg Turret Emplacement...
My recently completed turret...
Dust shook loosely in the air as the pounding autocannon turret spewed flaming shells across the trenches toward the Vraksian heretics. The firing signaled the charge and the Krieg infantry launched across the gap in the trench into the closing fray of horrors.

An exercise in weathering...
Death Korps of Krieg Hades Breaching Drill
Shelving a couple of my Krieg tanks to focus on the Hades drill allowed me to experiment with some of the techniques I plan to use later. This was airbrushed with Minitaire and AK Interactive acrylics with the odd GW paint pot also. Being Forgeworld resin, after a clean, it was primed with a dusting of autoprimer and then a smooth coat of Tamiya Fine Gray. This is then a perfect surface for AK's rust colours, a coat of chipping fluid and then the main colour. Brushes and toothpicks cut back the finish to a nice weathered heavy construction machinery look. This was all sealed well with a satin acrylic varnish ready for detailing and decals. Once sealed again with a matt varnish AK enamels were used to stain, streak and leave dirt/sand deposits. Final metallic surfaces were scribed with a 8B lead pencil and the pistons were finished with True Metal wax paint. I highly recommend the AK dirt and dust deposits for tanks and vehicles.

Death Korps of Krieg Heavy Mortar...
The mortar is almost complete. The icing on the cake will be some Forge World decals when they arrive. This has been weathered with acrylic washes- then sealed, then AK Interactive enamels with pigments/ground chalk pastels and fixative.

On the bench...
A couple of new pieces of terrain- one an old Forge World piece I picked up and a barricade from Basicks. Having fun with AK Interactive's weathering enamels and engine oil.
