Can you make a smaller standard bearer with plastic bits and those Vostie heads? Maybe a hellhound torso for the top hatch , as it has a long coat kind of.
Does your Rapier normally come with an SM crew or is there a DKoK version as well?
The tractor and the crew look really amazing.

Cool! Also; it's not the size of the tractor, it's the artillery it hauls.

Yeah, the Centaur is really cute! I like that you’ve managed to get the Vostroyans inside.

I'll have to have a good look at my bits box and see what I have, otherwise it'll be the radio Guy or an officer holding a pistol. The Rapier you can buy as Imperial Guard too (See Link below) I swapped out the Cadian body for the DKOK body, then Green stuffed a hat on. I may change this to a proper Vosyie head now. www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Graia-Pattern-Rapier-Laser-DestroyerThanks Mate, it was very stressfull and nervy chopping ForgeWorld heads off ,but they are a great conversion to fit my Army.

Thanks mate, My Russian Friends come to the rescue on this one, they've started making Vostie Heads (Like what you see on a Cadian sprew) but this does mean I have to go back and conver the 10 man DKOK squad, I converted four years ago. My work schedule looks busy for a couple of months, Hopefully I can steam roll out some more updates. To Do list:Voss Pattern Lighting Strike 2 Basilisks 10 Conscripts 10 Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (With Vostie heads) Arvus Lighter The New Sly Marbo (Pictures to come next)

Would it be ok if I do a Vostroyan Gorgon? (I know people love a good moan about it being open top but it looks cool and I want one)
If I do get one, do I get the troops to stand inside and convert them with Vostroyan heads or do I leave the inside empty, so that I can use my Vostroyans I have to stand inside?
I just don't know any more!!!

I know I want one... or maybe two personally I would leave it empty so I could put some of my own stuff inside. But if I was a Krieg-playing man I would want those guys standing in there for sure. The models seem to be packed awfully close together though: so converting them might be a challenge.

Well I can get the full Gorgon Kit with the DKoK guys too, So when I order it, I'll build the Gorgon and then do a poll.

I went back and made some head swaps with my Vostroyan heads.
I have 9 DKoK troops to convert also, however I'll have to order more heads.

Thanks mate! Though I think my next project will be Tau Empire! I got bought a “start collecting” box set by mistake so I’m gonna run with it! Hopefully with what I’ve learned with the Primaris and previous Krieg project I can make a decent looking force. Enough about me, your armour is looking amazing! The level of painting and attention to detail is very impressive. Can’t wait to see the Gorgon with all those fuzzy hats lined up.

I love a bit of Tau but I hated playing against Broadsides, so annoying! Do you know the sheme that you'll paint? I have to see what I have left after Bills are paid, then I'll see if I can get one.

Bills do have an annoying tendency to get in the way of hobby goodness! A friend has offered to swop the starter box for a Krieg Command Squad!! I think I’ll take him up on it, the way I see it the Krieg would go great with my Primaris. Especially when you factor in the Imperium key word.

Death Korp of Tau? What ever you go with Cough* Death Korp* I'll be happy with.

Here is an over view of all my heavy tanks, some aren't completed but I thought I'd share what I've got. I have a second Voss Pattern Lightening strike, very close to being completed. Now the thre Basilisks below are the very first Tanks I painted back in 2007. Sure I could strip them and make them look better, but I use them as a reminder to show I have improved in painting skills. The Hydra was completed by Cosmic as a commission, it truly is great to look at and I often use it as a visual guide if I'm stuck. My two new Basilisk nearly completed, to make the trio, just awaiting the crew to arrive.

That’s a serious amount of armour! Nothing like a tank army to get the blood pumping!

Well you know how I feel about Cavalry! The Deathriders and Mamaluk (did I get that right?) look great. The banner is especially pleasing. Will you be adding more horsies in the future?
