Here is an update of my army. Everything that's assembled so far is now painted! 2 Squads left to assemble and paint to get to 1500 points and I'll add a 7 man Termie Squad to get to 1750 points. Here's the army so far:

It's a FW Iron Warrior dread mixed with the plastic SM dread. Head is converted using 2 pieces of banner pole for the rebreathers and the top of the extra horns you get with the FW GUO.

I think you are getting better, you might want to have left you Lord until last... I usually leave my Lord and centerpiece models until later on when I do an army where I know display/appearence is important.

 

Just curious how long did it take you to paint the GUO and how has it done on the table? I still haven't played with the new Codex, too many problems in Real Life...

 

I'm thinking of buying and painting some Forgeworld stuff when things get better...

Never played a game of 40K in my life :wub: Painting didn't take that long, because I used an airbrush to do the skin. It toke me around 5 hours or so to airbrush the skin and maybe another 10 to do the details.

quick question: please dont take this the wrong way. The Great Unclean One seems far superior then the other models. I mean like there is no comparison. Are you in a rush, and can not put on the time that you did on the GUO? You GUO is by far the best that I have seen, but the rest of the army is average at best. Even if you used an airbrush to paint the GUO, some of that splendor should translate over when you use a brush.

Well, I've been trying to put a Death Guard army for 2 years now, I like one finished :) The airbrush work is what makes the GUO looks great, I used it to blend in weird colours like blue and purple in to the green basecoat. This is almost impossible to do by hand. The airbrush can't spray small enough for marines though, if it could I would have used it to create the same effect on the armour. I'm pretty happy with the way my army is progressing vs the amount of time I put into it. I can paint 4 marines in under 4 hours. I think they will do pretty good at tournaments, lots of conversions, multiple shades and highlights, good bases, army display and the GUO as a centre piece. I'm not trying too get an Golden Deamon for each model, just want to put together a nice looking army. I'm happy with the results I got :)

Love your work I also paint DG,I am not currently brave enough to use the layer/highlighting style which you have used.

 

I have gone with a dry brushing/wash method.

 

Can you tell me how did you paint the flesh on the DG what is your recipe.
