Also check out marcovan conscripts and heavy weapons from exodus wars

Aaaand GW *did* produce krieg troops, they were renamed from 'siege infantry' and cost an absolute fortune....

Yep, I'll be using straight EW for my own krieg, though the fact I won't be using much in the way of field arty or weapons platforms simplifies things.

Troops: Zho or Marcovian Conscripts
Field Arty: Zho Heavy Weapons and Cyclops turrets
Russes: Achilles MBT
SHTs: Enforcers and variants
Gorgons: Gaias
T-Bolts and Marauders: Raptors and Aquilas, or whatever the REM planes are called.
Centaurs: Hoplons
Trojans: Phalanx APCs
Emplacements: not sure, though various turrets (apollo, cerberus, icarus, etc.) and some improvised bases could work...
Heavy Tanks: not sure.

Also the Black Knight and Churchillian tanks from TMG make great Leman Russ MBT proxies

I used the DRM Industrial Infantry that SpeakerToMachines mentioned for infantry. I was going for quite a recognisable 'Hoth' look, so these worked well as snow troopers but could easily be done in a standard Krieg great-coat grey.
The Supreme Commander is an Ogryn model to make him look bulkier and more imposing.

Image

The Gorgons and infantry provide a screen for Imperial At-At warhound walkers armed with Vulcan megabolters and Plasma blastguns.

Image

Image

Earthshaker Artillery and a Death Strike missile silo lurk at the back of the formation. The artillery will soon be based, and is made from forgeworld heavy platforms and Otterware artillery pieces.

Image

A close up of my new conversion for Light Tanks uses Steel Crown turrets and Otterware trojan chassis, the goal being to make them look similar to my 40K converted chimeras.

Image

And finally, some Rough Riders. Gotta have Rough Riders, just a shame they smell so bad on the inside.

Yes, Exodus Wars has many models that would work prefectly ... As well as have some Heavy Tanks that could work. Also TMG has some models that could work as welll, as noted by JZ. Matt made some good suggestions too. Note Otterware in no longer available though ... And DRM has some PAX that could work for the DKoK Heavy Tanks ... just check out those sites or links here on Tac Cmd ....

I don't known if you have throught about it, but Heroics and Ros make WWI German infantry that look like Krieg infantry and they also make German Lancers for WWI. These figures are 50 infantry for about $5.20 US and 20 cavalry for the same price. They also make the German 21cm Morser howitizer perfect for Kriieg artillery. Just a throught.

Sorry no picture, I am probably old enough to be your father, started gaming 25mm in 1974, not very tech smart.

I am a old grognard who's first love is military wargaming, I do Epic because my son is into 40K and its a hobby we share.

Those have pictures of some H&R WWII infantry, so you can at least get an idea as to size and detail. Can find one pic of the WWI, but they're in package and the pictures from some distance, so you can't really see anything.
