Welcome, loyal Soldaten of the Immortal Kaiser and His Glorious Reich!

This Blog is an ongoing work-in-progress which will chronicle my progress in the modelling and painting of my "German-themed", scratchbuilt/converted Imperial Guard Death Korps of Krieg "Kampfgruppe", or "Battle Group", for use with the Warhammer 40,000 science fiction tabletop miniatures battles game.

"Kampfgruppe Hessler" is an "ad-hoc" Krieg Death Korps battle formation. Its "Kommandant", or "Commanding Officer", is Colonel-Commissar Martin Hessler, a veteran tank regiment commander in the 5th Kriegs Panzer Division and leader of its "Panzer Spearhead".

This Kampfgruppe draws its component units from several different higher-echelon Divisional formations as its specific mission requirements dictate. These Krieg Death Korps "parent" formations include the following:

5th Kriegs Panzer Division ("Kaiserfaust")
5th Kriegs Sturmtruppen Division ("Eisenadler")
6th Kriegs Panzergrenadier Division ("Der Kaiser Schutzt Sich")
15th Kriegs Infantry Division ("Kaiser Siegreich")
18th Kriegs Artillery Division ("Donnerschlag")
21st Kriegs Ogryn Auxillia ("Dorf's Dummkopfs")

6th Kriegs Panzergrenadier Division - Hessler's Company Command Squad

Colonel Hessler with his Veteran Company Command Squad.
Like all other Veterans in Kampfgruppe Hessler, they are
protected by Carapace Armor.




















Colonel Hessler, the Commanding Officer of Kampfgruppe
Hessler. He normally goes into battle bearing a Plasma Pistol
and a Power Fist (though he occasionally uses a Power Weapon).




















Veteran Panzergrenadier Schmidt with Plasma Gun.




















Veteran Panzergrenadier Eiger with Plasma Gun.




















Veteran Panzergrenadier Baumann with Plasma Gun.





















Veteran Medic Joachim with Lasgun and Medi-Pack. The combination of the unit's Carapace Armor (4+ Armor Save) and the Medi-Pack (Feel No Pain Universal Special Rule) makes the unit much more survivable (particularly when Rapid-Firing their Plasma Guns)!








Next up: Colonel Hessler's Command Chimera (complete with
an internally-mounted MP3 player and speakers)!
