AEGIS Defense Line - Krieg Style

Today I also started a new project. I will try to replicate the ADL in a more gritty style. The pics below are from a proof-of-concept model that I build with some FIMO clay and some stirring sticks. You can read more about creating sandbag walls here.

It is about 5 cm wide and 3,5 cm tall, so I think that it fits for the purpose.

• Slides of paper tube for the craters base shape
• Plaster gauze

The Storm is coming...

A few days ago I received a parcel from Forgeworld. Project Storm Chimera was about to begin!

The Storm Chimera is a minor Chimera variant used by the regiments of the Death Korps of Krieg. The preferred combat doctrine of the Death Korps holds that either its troops not be reliant on mechanised transports or that its regiments utilise much larger and heavier transports such as the Gorgon for heavy assaults. As such, the Chimera sees...

How To: Make a sandbag wall

I had many inquiries regarding the method I use to build sandbag walls. So I decided to make a brief tutorial about the subject.

The method used is not a sophisticated one and I cannot claim originality or copyright.

Material used

• FIMO clay (I suppose that it works with any type of modeling clay but I use this brand) 
• Piece of textured cloth (personal taste goes here) 
• Piece...

Small bunker

So, it's getting final, this is the result of my first 3d modeling attempt. It is based on the blueprints of a Belgian bunker of WW2, re-scaled for use with my Death Korps of Krieg army. The roof is removable and in the interior fits a 60mm base.

Total dimensions (LxWxH): 12x14x6 cm

I  have located a 3d printing service near-by. If the cost is affordable I'll give it a shot and print it.
