How to Paint Death Korps of Krieg - Easy schemes for any level of painter!

[@Polydeuces0]

Glad to see the new tutorial is here! As usual, great work Andy :) Quick note for the paint lists overall, Andy uses some Air paints, but you should be able to achieve what you desire with Base/Layer variants as well. As for 143rd, there is one gold paint used for the Imperial Aquila that is not mentioned in the video itself, but my wild guess, it's Retributor Armour (Base). The paint list for the 143rd: Space Wolves Grey (Contrast) Wyldwood (Contrast) Skeleton Horde (Contrast) Leadbelcher (Base) Blood Angel Red (Contrast) Seraphim Sepia (Shade) The Fang (Base) Mournfang Brown (Base) Zandri Dust (Air) Mephiston Red (Base) The paint list for the 158th: Militarum Green (Contrast) Skeleton Horde (Contrast) Black Templar (Contrast) Aggaros Dunes (Contrast) Leadbelcher (Base) Nuln Oil (Shade) Straken Green (Layer) Corvus Black (Base) Zandri Dust (Air) Mephiston Red (Base) The paint list for the 19th: Skeleton Horde (Contrast) Aggaros Dunes (Contrast) Black Templar (Contrast) Leadbelcher (Base) Seraphim Sepia (Shade) Zandri Dust (Air) Tallarn Sand (Air) Black Templar (Contrast) Corvus Black (Base) Mechanicus Standard Grey (Base) Mephiston Red (Base) Remember Guardsmen, The Emperor Protects!

You champion ❤

[@MediocreHobbies]

Thank you @polydeuces0 You are a hero! And yes I use air paints because they're prethinned but you'll get the same effect from using a wet palette with regular paints!

you save me bro

[@nsp477]

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you. Recently came back to the hobby after a 25-year hiatus (I stopped playing somewhere around the time the Tau and Necrons were first released, if memory serves), and your videos on how to use contrast paints and your tutorials on how to paint Cadian troops and vehicles have been invaluable to get me back into painting. I particularly appreciate that I can follow your instructions up to halfway of the video for a very good looking but doable result, or continue with the second half to achieve an even better outcome. From an old Cadian sergeant: thanks, man.

[@MediocreHobbies]

@@nsp477 that’s such a nice comment to read pal. Thank you so much. Glad the videos helped. And glad you’re back in the hobby pal.

[@lynnhavard3684]

Those look really good! Love the black webbing on the desert one. Great call by going with the black. More Krieg vids would be awesome!

[@Rottenflieger.]

Definitely would be good to see your take on the urban camo Krieg, perhaps on some of the new engineer minis since they come with carapace chest armour.

[@johnbennett4600]

I absolutely love the green 158th scheme. Looks easy to achieve with your step by step video. I have 3 unopened boxes of Kreig models looking for a cool scheme. Thanks!

[@Watching_My_Figures]

Adore the Krieg and so glad they’re getting their plastic models finally! These schemes are great and I can’t wait to see more!

[@eugenecash2351]

Love the militarum green is awesome

[@Robert.E89]

I was hoping you would do a video on all the different Krieg Regiments Andy 🙏🏻 fantastic video as always mate.

[@weltertom954]

Just when I decided to finaly paint my kriegsmen, my man got me covered.

[@ovan2190]

Love this video, Krieg are some great minis and siege of Vraks is one of my favorite stories. Also this video is very fitting as WC announced the new Krieg stuff goes on pre-order this coming Saturday

[@Fortunes.Fool.]

Same, if only I hadn’t converted my own officers and Rough Riders I would have preordered two boxes this weekend.

[@jessemontalvo1860]

Hi Andy love your content ! I would have went with Baneblade Brown for the helmet and shoulder pads on the 19th Krieg. That way it still would have been in that brown family of colors but it wouldn't be the same color. Black is too much of a contrast. I've got to say that the 158th color scheme is probably my favorite. I won't be doing Krieg this year. I'm doing an HDF army for One Page Rules. Using a green scheme. And that's after I finish like three other projects😂😂😂 Have a great year and happy painting. 🖌️

[@motwaaagh]

2:50 I think it would be fun to see what you would do for a Krieg Army in your favorite color scheme orange and black.

[@fancymichael6113]

The wall of grey opportunities behind you is tremendous :D

[@jmac8955]

I absolutely love these longer form videos and multiple schemes in one

[@Steven-sy6nu]

The"tube"on the bottom of the back pack I have always thought was the bedroll. The cloth the rolled op thing that is strapped onto the pack on three sides is the shelter half.

[@Nayio2]

please more 👍 great job, can't wait to get them

[@санячипс-т3л]

Perfect, thank you very much!

[@scroggie_mini_painting3983]

Cracking video! The desert scheme looks cool. I will stick with the traditional blue for my models tho. All the best 👍🏼

[@mjhsinclair]

25:47 Scratchy metallic highlights on the black desert helmet - sand blasted black helmet showing the underlying metal - would look amazing. Kinda like your Black Templars.

[@MediocreHobbies]

Great idea.

[@Steven-sy6nu]

They would all look good in the same unit. And would add to the realism.

[@eugenecash2351]

Thank you i have started using your techniques for a year now. Your videos have really helped me and your color tips are wonderful. Happy New Year looking forward to your videos

[@MediocreHobbies]

You are so welcome! Happy New Year to you as well and thanks so much for the continued support :)

[@SwtKaroline]

Love the changes you made to the desert scheme. Great video as always

[@tman8978]

Loved the content, please explore other color options

[@DaveJohnson4137]

I get what you’re saying about painting green as a gaurd player….but wow I can’t see past the 158th!! 🤩🤩

[@magnusbuckus3266]

Mine have the dark blue/grey trenchcoat with red trousers. A mix of early and late ww1 french uniforms

[@rayshouse4933]

Looks great

[@jptaylor8852]

Always need more Krieg!

[@BROODE]

I love the 19th Siege Regiment scheme and would probably paint a Krieg army in that scheme as like to paint desert armies no matter the faction.

[@mrjesse150]

i have painted 3 x 10 man squads based on your 143rd videos and even experimented with contrast on a wyvern tank in same scheme. it came out really well.

[@Mangix_the_Bear]

I had another video lined up for when I will paint my Krieg Kill Team, but I decided to follow this video instead! 😊 Love the green and desert, unsure which I like more, but I think I'll paint mine with the green, seemed easier and I like green and black as combination 😮

[@geertbeekman8680]

would like to see one painted in french ww1 uniform, bleu coat and red trousers.

[@mrtricorder]

Would love to see more schemes with the new kits that are coming

[@Jason-man-in-black]

A very interesting video to see you do multiple colour schemes at the same time, I would quite like to see the all black scheme because similar to the desert I think you would have to adjust it to make it work. And one of the more urban grey schemes would also be interesting because I often see grey schemes that kinda look like they’re still in the primer stage so again a hard one to make work well I think.

[@christopherledward8959]

Hey, I love the schemes! I think those little tube things on the bottom of the backpack are supposed to be storage for the gas mask when it's not being worn.which is funny considering they wear them all the time, so maybe it's just extra storage.

[@SavageBehir]

Answer to the first question in the video: yes, I would absolutely love to see more videos of this type and your approach to more Krieg colour schemes! Answer to the second question in the video: I prefer the green one, because that's my favourite colour :). My kriegsmen kill team are still waiting to be painted and they are staring at me since Octarius came out in 2021. I also asked my FLGS to grab me a copy of the Army Set, so if they are able to do so I will have all those lovely horsies to paint, as well as those new engineers and the artillery piece :). I have devised a scheme that was a mix of the blue and green ones and bought the paints in early 2022, but now I think I should actually print a proxy and test it out to decide whether I actually like it or not :). BTW, on the last stream I attended I wrote that I was on day 18 of my hobby streak. Now I'm on day 53 and already started my mini for today!

[@colinplatt1963]

Happy Krieg Year to Mediocre Hobbies! So looking forward to seeing the DK in all their plastic glory! At the moment, I"m planning to paint them similar to your 143rd, but with blue trousers, not brown. The only other thing I'm concerned about is the helmet colour, as I'm using WW1 French Horizon Blue uniforms as my inspiration, so I'll need to think of something there. Would love to see some more random uniforms as this might help my own thinking processes!

[@giggabyte6413]

They all turned out great, I do like the 158th the best, but green is my fav colour, so I'm very biased.

[@geertbeekman8680]

first is the one i like the most

[@mjhsinclair]

7:56 Could you do one squad that’s a kind of shattered legions mix of survivors from different regiments? Maybe as a KillTeam?

[@Fortunes.Fool.]

You can’t do enough Krieg. Now that my latest degree is done, I’m trying to get a Legions Imperialis and AoS army assembled and off the table so I can resume my Krieg. I’d love to have 3 full armies for 3 different systems ready to spray in the spring and I have so many Krieg to do.

[@geertbeekman8680]

the black on the last looks better than the tan color

[@genedean29]

I do like the black in the desert scheme the most, and the black was a good way to break up the colors. I would have gone towards a leather brown color instead of thinking to do black. I would love to see the all black coat, as highlighting that would be the part I would need the most help with...the right type of grey? is it warm, is it neutral?

[@kefkabal9614]

Hey i really enjoy your vids. Really interested how you would paint an orange scheme krieg or tanks 😊

[@guardbrandon5005]

Please do krieg 5th next. Thanks for the video.

[@nathanclegg6717]

Please could you do a tutorial for the artillery gun for the new boxset. It would help me massively. Cheers man

[@steventhompson8912]

The 19th doesn’t work for me initially. Like you say, too many tan tones. Definitely the right decision to switch to the black. Awesome end product!

[@Kaddith]

the black and tan desert scheme looks great. reminds me of the british tank camo in north africa during ww2. I will be starting a krieg army when the new box is released but i am waiting to make a color choice until i see if you make guides for any of the others.. if you dont it will be the desert since i already paint too much green from my bolt action armies.

[@sussy_6998]

Krieg

[@Muttsy89]

Think I’m going to paint my ratlings in a 143rd inspired scheme. Then if I ever expand into a full Astra Militarum they will blend in

[@seattlepunkgaming3825]

Would love to see your take on the 5th Siege.

[@heavensentlol]

Krieg is so cool. If I wasn't knee-deep in daemons and bad elves, Death Korps would be next!

[@LichKing36]

My kriegsmen will hav a Prussian blue greatcoat with grey trousers giving them that old Prussian uniform. Can u try that with the Ultramarines blue?

[@thesoggygrandpa6425]

Hi Mediocre Hobbies, did you ever do a Smaug painting video? I’d love to get the model, but have no idea how to get the colour to look the way they do on the box art. Or the best way to tackle doing such a large miniature. Thanks and all the best! Keep up with the great uploads!

[@mrjesse150]

i want to see the grey urban and black one.

[@sgt.fluffers666]

personally i think i'd make the webbing on the desert krieg brown

[@whulfri8890]

Thats an amazing looking pile of shame in the background, man.

[@jeremyyeargin3773]

You have wonderful basing videos for the Kreig but there’s no step by step video to add complete models to the base. Can you show us how to do that?

[@MediocreHobbies]

I just use super glue! I'll be redoing a basing video for them soon so will include that step at the end :)

[@gino9577]

Awesome vid, can anyone tell me where can i get that book with all ghe info on Krieg? 😅

[@MediocreHobbies]

It's an old out of print Forgeworld book : Imperial Armour - Volume Five: Siege of Vraks Part One You might get lucky on eBay!

[@jaanikaapa6925]

Mace. They're WW1 soldiers and from there came the trench knives and maces and so on. They used those in close combat when raiding the enemy trenches. Quiet.

[@13Nagash13]

Desert scheme looks great, but it looks too close to steel legion/talarn(sp?), and since my kreig to do pile includes a lagr ziplock bag of steel legion gifted to me from another gamers hobby well of shame. Ill probably do the greyblue coat with wildwood trousers, but leave them darker, the mornfang brown is too bright for me.

[@Steven-sy6nu]

If you have ever seen a veteran platoon of enlisted men and nco's, then you will notice one thing. There is no standard looking uniform. I am talking in any platoon on parade. In formation. The united states army , which is one of the best equipped militaries in the world is a prime example. On trooper will have desert boot another will have different boots, different webbing, different plate carriers, different ponchos. Different degrees of wear. In some if not all units, different helmets , dofferent camo. There is a difference in coloration due tou wear. My point is that you can have all of those minis in the same unit and it will actually make the unit look more realistic. Imagine if you will a veteran unit that has just recieved replacements. The replacements are from different parts of krieg. The uniforms might be of the same pattern, they might not. They might be of the same material, they might not. The veterans might be from different front or spent time on different planets in different regiments. A real life for instance. A vietnam marine that is carrying an NVA pack (because it was roomier) . Or a ww2 german wearing an american field jacket because it was warmer or a german schutz carrying a ppsh subgun because it was more dependable. Soldiers pick things up. Any way sorry to run on. I hope this helps. Minis are fun. Enjoy them.

[@michaelsebi]

143rd looks far too blue in all the tutorials I’ve seen :/. Wish someone would stick to the grey look portrayed instead of that denim blue.

[@gamedude412]

There technically French ww1 blue grey.

[@JoKeRakaAlessandro]

@@gamedude412french ww1 is licht bleu / grey but 143 used to be like that painted (but just grey in the rulebooks) but with killteam they switched it to darker blue

[@redjohn2079]

I would 5th regiment guide 🫡
