Description:
This listing is for a collection of new plastic components (bits) from the highly sought-after Death Korps of Krieg Heavy Weapon Squad kit. These bits are essential for customising, reinforcing, or converting your Astra Militarum forces, particularly those themed around the grim, trench-warfare aesthetic of the Death Korps. The Heavy Weapon Squad is an integral part of a Krieg army, providing crucial fire support with an array of large, crewed weapons.
A Short History of the Krieg Heavy Weapon Squads:
The Death Korps of Krieg excel in wars of attrition, and their Heavy Weapon Squads are built to endure the worst battlefield conditions. Unlike other regiments where the spotter might be attached to the gun base, the Krieg plastic kit often features separate crew and weapon platforms, emphasizing the methodical, defensive nature of their warfare. The crew models are instantly recognizable by their WWI-inspired greatcoats, gas masks, and stoic, trench-hardened poses. The weapons themselves often come with unique detailing, such as promethium tanks for the Heavy Flamer or the distinctive design of the Twin Heavy Stubber.

New, Trimmed off Sprue: The components are brand new and unused, having been carefully removed from the sprue.

Possible Conversion Ideas:
Custom Infantry Special Weapons: The Heavy Flamer backpack/fuel tanks can be used to customize a standard Krieg trooper into a unique Flamer specialist within an Infantry Squad.
Artillery Crew: The Krieg gunners and Fire Coordinator are perfect for manning any of the larger Artillery pieces (Earthshaker, Medusa, Basilisk) where the standard crew is not included, maintaining the unified Krieg aesthetic.
Vehicle Accessories: The shovels, bedrolls, and equipment bags are excellent detailing bits to add a weathered, frontline look to any Krieg vehicle (like a Chimera or Leman Russ).
Tank Commanders: The Fire Coordinator model, with their unique stance and gear, can be converted into a commanding officer standing in the hatch of a Leman Russ or Chimera.
