DKoK command

With the marines done, it's time to move into the guard, or more specifically the Krieg. This is the new Krieg command squad box and I have to say, they are really nice models, but I still don't like the mono-pose nature of them, there is some flexibility but not masses. 

Command squad

This squad was build with plasma all round and will most likely end up joining the big Krieg squad with plasma and grenades, to boost up the plasma output to four pistols and three guns.

Commissar and baby commissar

Vox, gunner and medic

The medic (or Alchemyk) ability is ok, but a straight 6+ FNP would have been nicer. The vox is useful but 95% of the time he'll just be issuing orders to his own squad.

Standard

The standard model looks really nice, as they all do these days. There is just something about a big bright standard right in the middle of your infantry that looks amazing. 


The second squad is a kitbash of Wargames Atlantic and GW bits. 

Command squad no.2 with repurposed Marshall.

Commissar and baby commissar 

The Commissar has since been rebased on to the right size base, as when I was building him I only had 25mm bases. The Commissar was made using the alternative build for the Commissar and a modified WA head, taking a gasmask and pairing it with a Bicorne hat for some extra panache, as befitting an officer. The other model is a repurposed DKoK Marshall, from before command squads existed. 


Both models are armed with plasma pistols, because why wouldn't you, plus the Commissar has a powerfist. 


The rest of the squad is heavily WA parts, 

Vox, medic and gunner

The vox is pure WA parts but I still like how he looks. The medic is mostly WA parts but with laspistol and the gunner is the same, with WA arms and a gun swap to the melta. 


The standard is the only model that is obviously visually different to the other version, as he has a eagle rather than a full flag style standard. I would have liked to have a more flag like standard but WA don't do one and I didn't have a spare in the bits box. 

Secondary standard


Once these squads are painted up they will join the other Krieg squads, with the first one joining the plasma\grenade squad and the other joining the flamer\melta squad. These squads offer some good bonuses to the squads, being able to use stratagems and retaining OC even when battle shocked is very useful, as is orders continuing to take effect even after being battle shocked. This means that the big squads of Krieg become very difficult to deal with.
