Many of you know me by my Korp's tanks, posted in the Conversion and Project Log boards. Others know me as that son of a bitch who never finished a tank. Either way, I believe that most all of you will be pleased when I tell you that I am dusting off the paints and knives after an extend break and starting my 71st up again.

The templates are all but done and the only one I still have yet to design is the turret. My order of plasticard is in the post as we speak and will most probably be here in four days. Now that mostly all of the modeling plans are complete, I am turning my attention to painting.

After hours of browsing over Forgeworld DKoK models seeking that perfect scheme, I finally have it down to one scheme that I need your advice on. The finalist will be a dark wasteland scheme with dulled down metallics and dusty white unit numbering and markings. The colors I plan to use are as follows...



The primary color will be painted on the main unit of the tank, the secondary color on the second layer, and the tertiary will be on the third layer. The primary unit will also have a Dot Camouflage pattern painted on it with the secondary and tertiary colors acting as the colors for the camo.

So... I am open to any suggestions in regards to my scheme.

great, but every one seems to do them in dark colours, maybe you could paint them in a desert scheme?, i also am a DKK collector and i paint mine in snow cammo. ;D


sounds like all you need now are some DKK,
cant wait to see them in model.

Bizza: Thanks for the input and actually, I was thinking about going for a dot-desert camo sort of pattern. But then the more I read about DKoK, the more I began to think that a wasteland-trench scheme would fit better, especially how the Korps are specialist in trench and siege warfare, which I envision as being dark, grim, and dirty.

This is how I will be painting my Death Korps (as soon as GW have a new guard release)

(Not my model)

I like that a lot, Vendak! Good luck!

Anyways, my plasticard just arrived in the post so I should be able to get picture of a tank track up later this week.

It was a suggestion xD I wasn't just posting it randomly :P

Do you have photoshop? I've seen people use it to test schemes too see if they turn out well and see how they can improve them, I wouldn't know how so I can't really help with that if you decide to do it.
