WIP DKoK HQ squad

Hi guys
Here is my WIP HQ squad, the 2 blue figures are conversions of some spare AB French Napoleonic officer figures, the helmet on the troopers will be the standard helmets for the regular troops, I was going to have the troops in picklehelms, and bought a heap of Peter Pig heads for the conversions, only to find they were way to small, so I will convert the blue moon WWI German heads, it fits with DKoK better anyway, the officers head is an old glory French cavalry head, I will hand paint the standard, all comments welcome.

WIP Kriegs Marine of Krieg

Hi guys

WIP pics of my next unit, these guys will add a little variety to the army but will be treated as normal infantry, they are my own invention, the Kriegs Marine of Krieg, (a little like they USMC) their primary roles are creating planetary bridgeheads, once the bridgehead is being exploited by the regular DKoK units, they act as light infantry, in support of the regulars, they also defend Naval facilities and ships, and conduct defensive and offensive boarding actions.
As for painting, I have 2 ideas.
1) my preferred, white sailors cap with black band, navy blue pea jacket, with white bib (the square material on the back) white pants, black boots, fieldblue armour, brown webbing.
2) or, white sailors cap with black band, fieldblue pea jacket with white bib, fieldblue pants, brown webbing and boots, dark grey armour.
The figures are Blue moon WWI Germans with Peter Pig , Navy Heads.
What do you think?

Ogryn colour dilemma.

Hi guys

Progress on these has come to a screaming halt, I have come to a decision crisis, my intension was to paint these guys in the same colours as the previous DKoK troops, fieldgrey with dark grey armour, whilst painting, I am always looking on the net for inspiration, I have noticed a couple of IG. armies/figures with light turquoise colours that looked really good, so my dilemma, should I

1) pull my head in and stick to the current colour, fieldgrey/dark grey.
2) give just this unit light turquoise armour to make them a, little different (I'm a little worried they won't fit in) the uniform would stay fieldgrey.
3)  make light turquoise the colour for all armour in the army (re paint the finish units) the uniform would stay fieldgrey.

I have to also say if I were to use turquoise, I would weather the hell out of it, and make I'd really beaten up.
