Krieg Commisar WIP

I recently bought a Deathkorps of Krieg commisar, from Forge World. And I decided to do something with it other than just painting it, so I\'ve thought out a little diorama. I\'ve allready replaced the laspistol with a bolt pistol (the laspistol was just too small and insignificant). And i\'m working on two cadians, falling to the ground after recently being executed.

but, i still haven\'t thought of a crime to execute them for. Nor have i chosen a location.

For the crime, i want something that i can clearly depict, something like drinking on duty , or desertion or something.

as for the location i was thinking about a city street, or a wooden floor, or something like a trench (although the trench might obscure the models themselves)

i\'d like to know, what do you quys think of the idea, and the work so far. and do you have any good ideas or opinions about the crime and the location?

oh, and of course here are the pictures of what i have so far.

of course, i\'ll still be cleaning the models, and the pictures have turned out a bit overexposed (especially on the commissar) but i hope you can judge my work from these pictures.

Greets,

Seems a little incongruous for a DKoK commissar to be executing Cadians, but aside from that...

Depends how gritty and \"realistic\" a portrayal of war you want.

I was thinking, maybe have a cowering girl behind the commissar with a ripped dress or something.

War brings out the very best, and the very worst in us all :(

How about glowing eyes on the Cadians? Psyker feedback or something like that. That\'d be the easy way out...

I must say i like DaN\'s idea, I was thinking about giving the diorama a name declaring Krieg discipline superior to all others.

But where do i find a cowering girl with ripped clothing?
the psyker idea would be a bit easier, but might be a but too subtle. i\'d like something that stands out a bit more.

and where should execution take place, i need a location. i\'m leaning towards a trench, nice and gritty. but won\'t the walls obscure the mini\'s?

Granddad!
what about something from hasslefree, heresy, etc
you could do the trench looking from the back wall, then you\'d only need to actually model the front wall
You could imply the back wall by just modelling a corner of it behind the commissar

Yeah - I\'d recommend Hasslefree too.

Sweeties! :D

And as for location, I\'m not sure a trench would work if you want the girl there - maybe some sort of building interior - where the civilians had been sheltering - you could even have the girls\' husband/parents unconscious/dead/tied up or something.

maybe just have them looting, you know a couple bags of swag. I think that you may have to sling the rifles of one of them, they \'feel\' like they are ready for action and not looking for them selves. more caught in the act-ish?

I\'ll think i\'ll do the looting, build some ammo crates or something. label them as belonging to Krieg (ties in the krieg commisar as well)

as for the location i might be able to do a wider part of a trench, somewhere where the suplies may be kept.

keep the ideas coming though... I could always change my mind if something better comes along.

lets hear some more locations too.

If your gonna do that - try and throw in some \"Clues\" to show how the commissar tracked them down...

:idea: Maybe have an empty crate with a tracking beacon inside :D

I think you should replace the commisas gun with something like this:

and have the cadians rolling around laughing... You never see the famous Krieg humour for which the emperor has a soft spot.

If adding some hostages maybe make the cadians be chaos cultists.

Gives the link between the krieg commissar and the cadian troopers, you could have them tied up ready to be sacrificed and then that would also give them reason to have their guns out

this is great, keep the ideas coming.

i like the flag gun, but i want something a bit more serious.

i might do a HQ-section of a trench, with the commissar exiting a bunker (ie standing in a door) or something like that
