Heresy-Era Death Guard with a touch of corruption

**Lord Ezekial** · 01-23-2014, 04:04 PM

Hey Everyone,

I am new to the community but I have been a huge fan of the lore of the Death Guard, especially before they completely fell to papa Nurgle. Anyway, I have started painting up some Heresy Era Death Guard to represent the beginnings of corruption. I have been collecting/ building things up for the past year.

I am not a great painter but I am digging it so far! Let me know what you all think and feedback would be great

I think they could use a little more highlighting (or maybe it's just the photographs) but they're looking really nice!

First off welcome to the mad house!

Your figures are looking quite good for a "Not A Great Painter", I like the markings on the scythe, looking forward to seeing them finished.

^^ I agree they would benefit from another highlight, but for a "not a great painter" I agree with Darren that these are looking pretty good!

How would you highlight, like what color do you think? Something like just a white?

Here are some more of my troops!

The one is the back shot of my standard troops. I got the idea from the Book I Betrayal picture. The two with power weapons are currently acting as sergeants.

Okay Next up are some veterans. I decided to paint them with the Dusk Raider's color scheme. They are equipped with a melta and a power weapon on the sergeant.

Enjoy!

Alright what is next?

How bout some contemptor dreadnoughts? I magnetized the arms at the mid joint so that I could swap the weapon load outs. Right now I have 2 powerfists, autocannon, and multimelta to equip them with. I also used a lot of the corrosion for the iron parts of the dreadnought along with the rust and oxidation effects (possibly a little overboard).

I will try to post the remainder of my army tonight, as well as some stuff I am currently working on.

Here are a Legion champion and master of the signal, along with an apothecary.

Next up is the Legion Praetor in Terminator armor, I gave him a power scythe to stick to the theme of the army. Along with Typhus painted up in some pre-heresy colors.
