Well, as soon as i get some money built up in savings for "toys", a full unit of Macharius tanks are goign to be bought and used as a semi-stationary attack element. probably backed up by infantry of some sort. Also some "stoner" medusa stationary guns to provide up close cover so anything that gets within 15cm to firefight gets waxed. I like artillery alot though i know in huge masses that first hit is wonderful to see but the next turn your going to lose over half of it to long range fire, or teleporting/planet fall troops. I finally own a full company of basilisks, and Manticores, and a 6 count formation of old style bombards. (they were originally for my amtl but the list has changed since i painted them) So i'm thinking a very ww1 kind of feel with artillery in the back and troops holding the line, while assault troops in gorgons backed up by russ's and or Macharius tanks. with another force of Krieg riders taking another objective as a decoy. or actually using the big thrust as a decoy to get somebodys attention.. possibly use one of the six reavers in the list too that i have, or maby the two warhounds. I'm not sure yet because i only have 48 guard painted, not to mention the storm troops(thank you DRM) that i have painted up. I need to get me some gorgons, i actually want three for my big infantry mobile unit but two will have to suffice when i get the money.. i'll leave the big infantry at guard in the trenches with the hq. I have learned that it is almost imperitive to always have a supreme commander, especially with the guard. Btw,, is there any one paint scheme that the Krieg have,, i've just done my guard with a "buff" coat look.. Starting with Vallejo's green brown and building up to middle stone. Some of my friends say,, i can't believe you put three colors on that 6mm miniature, but i say,, there is a coat,, it needs to look like a coat. not to mention,, about 4 levels of basing including static grass.. My camera sucks to take pictures but i'd love to show them on here. as for my vehicles, their very "russian"/cadian, ect.. olive green with green brown stripings. But i see the krieg using other regiments and such on a large campaign. Let me see, i also have 6 demolishers and 6 hellhouds too.. i have a lot of vehicles..lol. As i told Otter,, i need to fill in some spaces for about three army lists to bring them up to where i want them.
Its like, i already own three eldar lists (and with the work going on with the eldar titan list, i have one more to play with),, i like being able to field different lists for my opponents. i never want them going, ok. Dughan is playing with his guard,, i know exactly what he's fielding and the counter to it... i like to have a collection big enough to ALWAYS keep them guessing and worrying. Same goes with my ork list(WAY to many points there to count) or even my rather bland space marine list. And i'm still working the kinks out of my Squat list (the latest demiurg list).
