The Death Korps of Krieg : Scout Sentinel
The first miniature of one of my warhammer 40k armies, i always liked the looks form the german army in the WWII and this division from the imperial guard looks pretty much like them, as a futuristic version, but lets get on bussines.
This firts miniature its an imperial guard sentinel, on its scout version, with some modifications to make it fit on the death korps, there is no official version on this division so it will require a little bit more work to fit it.
On the pilot i used the upper body part form a death koprs, for this matter forgeworld have some bits apart from full soldiers that come handy for this conversion. For the weaponry i used a Heavy Stubber Autocannon that its the krieg verson from the imperial guard heavy autocannon. I fitted in in the lower Sentinel section and I added a flamer on the main weapon zone. The only weapon that will be used will be the flamer, the Autocannon its only there for the looks.
The bases for this army will be based on a wrecked and neglected world, where all the terrain its muddy because of the constant raining and the vegetation its claiming the ruined cities. In this Sentinel, one of the four i will be doing, I fitted a part from a wrecked building surrounded by a dead and muddy terrain, making clear that the Sentinel’s weight its noted on the groud, this way the miniature its more immersed in its base.
When choosing the scheme, i used and will use on all the army the official scheme form the 158th Krieg regiment, that can be found in the Imperial Armour volume 5. As I will be playing a lot with this army, I will give them quite a lot of detail, but not the Masterclass one, enough for make them look great and make all the details shine, but whitout getting myself into hard techniques like hight details battle damages or fine lights. I still have to add some details to this miniature, like its regiment insignias, number model, etc. But i will do these details once I have my full army done. Here you have some pictures!
