Death korps Kreig Stormlord

[TheMiniatureWorkshop]

I'm trying to add some extra detail to my Death Korps Krieg Stormlord and was hoping for some help.

I can't afford to buy any additional models for it so that rules out adding crew members.

Some suggestions i've had is to add decals, marking, DKK logo's etc to it which I like the sound of, the problem is I can't find any reference material for this so could anyone point me in the right direction ?

If you have any other suggestions how I can improve it please let me know.

Here's how it painted so far:

cheers

expertly done and well done at that. the only thing that would bother me and its nothing to do with the quality of the paint job, fluff related, its just that armour plate is usually painted to protect it from rust and for camo purposes, these shinney bare metal jobs show off the painting mattalics ok but the only time i've heard of tanks going out "naked" was during ww2 when the germans hadnt the time or resources near the end of the war.

thanks for the reply, I think the photo's may have mislead you the armour panels are all painted grey not metalic and the "rust" patches are meant to be dust, dirt and grime from the many years of service.

its a good job but when i lookk at it my eye really isnt drawn to one specific spot. it doesnt really have a focal point. you could always paint a nice mural on the front or side of it. just a thought

I love the paint job, I hope I can get my tanks looking this good when I start them.

On a side note, the gray/bare look really does fit the DKK fluff since they are basically modelled after the WWI German Army.

The only iconography I can find is if you look on forgeworld at the DKK Command Squad the standard has the skull with wings. I know this is one of the standards for IG iconography, but perhaps simple is better when it comes to the no frills style DKK utilize. Looking forward to seeing more.
