@hestan101: than what do you suggest, i haven\'t made up my mind but i\'m leaning towards a trench. but if you have a better location, lets hear it.
as for clearance, all the fluff i\'ve read about IG trenches is that several regiments can share one trench system. clearance doesn\'t have to be a problem.

what about a double-crossed theme

ok I just thought of another really good one...
Spring break
I dont think i need to explain it any further.

double crossed, that would implie that the commisar persuaded the cadians to do something illegal, and then shot them in the back for doing the illegal thing?
too complex i think.
and, spring break........ two cadians running around naked, reproducing the human race. would that be punishable by a shot to the head?
Plus, i\'d have to get the Cadians naked.....

Dont Kreig IG where resiprators for a reason.
Maybe have the two Cadians as if they\'ve gone into some kind of toxic fumes. Give them some boils and stuff on their skin. Put them in some sort of area with spilt liquids of toxic material.
The guy begging will start to have been affected by the fumes, and is showing symptoms, and even though he\'s begging for his life the commisar knows there\'s only one treatment

You\'d be surprised..
Who tries to nick a 52\" Plama screen TV without a car?
Happened recently in Birkenhead.
so, I\'ve decided, the crime is gonna be theft (something i can easily and clearly depict, and which allows me a reason to include a krieg commissar, and not a cadian one)
the location is an imperial trench, i just need to figure out how to build it and what it will look like. i was thinking about adding a gunners post with an auto cannon, to create a sort of clearing to better show the minis while not looking unrealistically spacious.
so, the next dilemma, how to build a trench..... i was thinking about a wooden wall, kind of like the one in SquiqHunter\'s Cadian thread.
but what should i put on the bottom, i was thinking of more wood, but should i raise it (some WWI trenches have a sort of wooden bridge at the bottom, to allow for walking above any wetness) or should i put the wooden board on the ground, and have dirt and grime come up between and around them?
speaking of dirt and grime, i was planning to use clear resin (solid water, from \"Deluxe Materials\") and color it using ordinary model paints (citadel, P3 and Valejo) but is this possible or do i need a special sort of paint.
and how should i make the soil outside the trench?
any suggestions?

sure to get some good idea\'s from there

My only suggestion is if you go with the thieving theme, id make the troopers Savlar chem-dogs, a bunch of nitro-stimulated, battlefield scavenging, two-timing Imperial las-jockeys! Snatching something from a Commissar is something I wouldn’t put past them at all, heck, most of their equipment was acquired with a five-finger discount lol
Krieg Commissar update
so, it\'s been a while since I started this little project, but i\'ve finaly got something to show for my work.
first off, the thieving guardsmen will be Savlar Chem Dogs. I\'ve allready converted a lasgun to look less standard.
second, i\'ve build the trench and surrounding earthworks.
the trench itself is made from wood, modeling wood for the structure, and McDonalds coffee stirrers for the boarding.
the earthworks are build using foam as a base, build up and textured using wall filler.
so, a couple more things to do before priming:
convert the Cadians into ChemDogs
detail the trench (just a couple of little details, both inside and out to make it look more alive.)
finish the trench bottom
I also had a couple of questions, which i was hoping somebody here would be able to answer: is it possibe to use GW paints to color a clear two part resin?
I want to add some water to the bottom of the trench, to make it look waterlogged, and i was thinking about a brownish green teint.
should i bulk up the wall in front of the heavy bolter, and if yes, how?
also, i am planning to paint the entire thing in quite muted brownish colors, with the chem dogs a kind of brown red, and the commissar in a really dark brown coat, with a bright freehand or something on the back.
the main focal point however will be the commissars bolt pistol, visible from almost every angle, it will be painted a really vivid bright red.
hope you like it so far, please let me know what you think.
oh, and sorry for the big pictures

Krieg Kommissar WIP (painting\'s almost done)
so, another big update, even though nobody replied to my previous update .:cussing::no:
oh, and don\'t mind the sweets and the cakes, the pictures are taken at my GF\'s house.
and, in case you were wondering, their candles.
i\'ve finished painting the kommissar himself and decided to place him on an altenative base for the time being:
i\'ve tried to give the coat a sort of dark leather like look. And I\'ve used red as a contrast color between the dark back, and the bright white front.
i\'ve even managed a couple of PIP pics as well:
working on the inside of the coat, back is pretty much done.
nice pic of the dark brown leather coat.
The back of the coat, first just the basecoat, and second the first highlight, before shading.
this is something i\'m quite proud of, it\'s the first time i\'ve actually managed some acceptable freehand :bouncy:
the current stage is trying to fill the bottom of the \"trench\" on the base with water effect. I\'ve tried the first layer last night, but i\'ve found out that my seal isn\'t quite watertight. Tonight, I\'ll see if the first layer has improved on that.
so, dont be a jerk, and leave some comment, especially if it\'s constructive criticism.

I think this looks great the coat is excellent and I love the both the trench and the smaller base too, I used normal pva glue mixed with green and brown GW paint and some water. I kept pooring in the mixture after each layer was dry, I\'m sure there a better methods but give it a try on a test base, it drys clear so not too much paint. Hope this helps:beer:

Commissar\'s coat is fantastic! Looks very realistic. Everything else is also very neat and cool, but the coat is just striking
Your whole concept is very interesting. What you\'ve done so far looks great. Can\'t wait to see what you\'ll do with the trench.
My expertise in painting is nonexistent, but I couldn\'t just pass by without expressing how much I liked your work. Keep it up!

Krieg Commisar WIP (updated
so, i got another update, probably one of the last, i\'m almost done.
I\'ve been casting the clear resin these last view days. had some minor glitches....
my mold turned out to be leaky (although the first batch of resin solved that)
i should have left less time between each layer, you can just see a divide between each layer.
the resin stuck to my paint... i need to redo the outside of the base , even my freehand
I\'ve found that you can\'t polish clear resin using a dremel, the rpm is way to high, you can however polish it using silverpolish !!!!!
so, lets show you some pictures, keep in mind though, i\'m still gonna redo the base.
so, please tell me what you think so far, and check back in a few days for the final product.
