Weird Porn Matt Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 There have allways been two armies i have loved painting but i was loathe to get rid of either because of finance problems. I now have the monies and materials and time to revisit one army, but i cant decided which! Help me decide, Deathguard (shots of original army, i have more if anyone requests) Death Guard Lord with Manreaper http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/DGLordcopy.jpg Plague Marines http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/DGPlaguemarines2copy.jpg Plaguebearers http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/DGPlaguebearerscopy.jpg Or should i go back to my Lysander lead terminator heavy Imperial Fists (example) Term Squad http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/IFTerminatorscopy.jpg Ass Cannon close up http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/IFTerminatorsAutocannoncopy.jpg I honestly cannot choose between them, i loved both armies but want to lavish my attentions on one, any ideas, improvments over originals etc would be great.

taLLis Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 How about some some imperial yellow men who fell to nurgle? :) Nah i think they are both great choices, how big are you planning your army to be? Because you could do a small force of each if you enjoyed making them both so much. Only improvement i would say it that in my opinion the green trim on the death guard is a bit toooooo green, i think an olive colour may have worked better. As for which to pick only you can decide that mate, as your the one who will be making and playing with them! - tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Porn Matt Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Im planning a 1'500 for the finished army, really want to lavish my attention on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hm... I'd go for the Imperial Fists, simply because they seem more expandable and simple to paint. Up to you though, mate. How about you take it slow and do both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Which one did you do first? Do the other one, basically do the one you havn't done for the longest time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draakur Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Which one did you do first? Do the other one, basically do the one you havn't done for the longest time. Er, the one he did first would be the one he hasn't done for the longest time ;) I'd say go with the fists, if only because Death Guard seem to have been super common here over the last 4 months (longer?), and a change is as good as a holiday ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwenCrute Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Just a tip, put some brown ink (not much) into the recesses of the Fists. The DG look great, but the Yellowmen need some more definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Lucius Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 they both look great but i have to go with The Fists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 i would concentrate on the imperial fists as you dont see nearly of them running around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I would go with the Fists as well. There is hardly a more distinctive looking chapter (except for maybe Marines Malevolent) than the fists. Besides, not to slam those that do DG, but a lot of people do them. I think if you are looking for a project that will test your painting skills, IF are the way to go. There are so many ways to do a yellow, plus being consistent across the army. Go Fists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I vote you get the Deathguard cranking again. I'm in love with the green accents over the rotting flesh/whatever armour. Fists are supposed to be rare, but having said that there seems to be an awful lot of them sprouting out of the woodwork here on the BnC at the mo. Which is partly my fault :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Porn Matt Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Okay finally made some progress at what i am planning on doing. I am using my Deathguard colour scheme minus all the heavy purples/green inks and colours to create a sub-faction of world bearers called 'The Unworthy' The idea behind the force is that the marines are all recently inducted/recruited/created marines who have yet to prove there dedication to 'The Word'. I am using the scheme on all rank and file marines, with the shoulder pads being rendered in normal world bearer colours. All champions/chars, vehicles and elites will be rendered in normal world bearers colours with the rough/grey colour on there shoulder pads. I have a predator and champ done as test mini's and will be posting these in the next few days. Having read the 'Battle for the Abyss' i have decided that 'The Unworthy' must best an Ultramarine in order to be promoted full status, as such ultramine trophies etc will be common. In opposite to this i have decided to start a force of Tyrannic war veteran smurfs, led by Cassius himself (again this is spurred by 'Battle for the Abyss and the brilliant new marine codex). So far i have a combat squad and the lovely GD Commander wielding the two-hand thunder-hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Porn Matt Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Okay here is my work so far, i am going for a good tabletop standard. The models seem to have much harsher highlights in these pics than in RL, im not that great a photographer :D. So far the test minin is pure world bearers and has not had the shoulder pads done. GD Smurfs Commander http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/CommanderVarnish.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/Commandernovarnish.jpg BR 5-man Tactical with 'Anti-tyranid bases' http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/Tact1.jpg World Bearers Predator http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/WorldBearersPred.jpg World Bearer Test Mini http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/WorldBearersTest.jpg Horror http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/betrayer01/Daemon.jpg C+C welcome, updates soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Two-handed hammers for the win :D The commander looks tops. Your painting has come through really nicely. I'm usually firmly against dead body parts on bases, but I actually sort of like what you've done here, it's tasteful and not at all over the top, and doesn't detract from the minis themselves. Looking cool so far. Nice to see someone elses horrors too, the more ideas I get for them the better. [whisper] it's Word Bearers (your guys), and World Eaters (Khornate nutters) [/whisper] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird Porn Matt Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks for the comments, i tried to make the dead tyranids look part of the bases rather than just stuck onto and avoied the 'stuff between legs' as much as possible by raising the models up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
