FALLOUT1983 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 this is now my death guard army blog I've seen a lot of death guard about lately and it reminds me of my old nurgle army (long long long time ago probably 9 years or so man that make me feel old) it was my 2nd proper army after orks :) (which Ive Re- collected since the new ed got about 4000pts :) but only 500pts painted :(soooOOO!!! many ;) any way Ive been inspired and had a go at turning my spare AoBR Marines in to Death Guard Plague marines "EDIT: This is an updated pis scroll down for more :) 04 /12/2008 heres the finish deamon prince after many days gs'ing :) go to page 2 scroll down to see more pics http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00751.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00718.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00717.jpg " http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00498.jpg ive got a bag of 30ish Berserkers and and dont really want to paint red (sick of red )but i was thinking that i could convert them in to plague marines and/or also nurgle infected Berzerkers ...mad grinning loons charging at you :) "PUS FOR THE PUS GOD!!!!!" i might give it a try what do you think plz C&C ^_^ FALLOUT1983 ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152465-death-guard-army-blog-update-041208/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 That is a great model. My only gripe is that the marine's helmet still looks undoubtedly like a loyalist.

Draakur Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yep looks like it can be done to me ^_^ Suitably battered and ripped up, with GS, they come out fine. My only suggestion is to tone down the cloven hoof feet - they're a bit too long/big as they are, IMO. Look like sort of Nurglite clown shoes at the moment ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152465-death-guard-army-blog-update-041208/#findComment-1776051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandanger Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yeah the fluff for my army has the Khorne contingent infected with a virus that makes the automatons that fight for my sorcerer, so its been done before. If you want to make the plague marines, it will be a bit odd, as the dynamic poses of the 'Zerkers are kinda unrealistic for a slow, fat plague marine. I'd tone down the fat decay-ey-ness for them, but thats just me, itd be cool to have their faces covered in spores/boils/etc, the occasional big of goo coming out of hinges, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152465-death-guard-army-blog-update-041208/#findComment-1776083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEanBOb Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yea i agree with zeller. Something needs to be done about that helmet, otherwise great model.

AlexCrute Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Suggestions for helmets: Chop the bottom out of the rebreather grille, gouge out the grill itself, fill with alternating GS tongue/teeth/slimedrool/insect maw GS (or chaos spawn bit) boggle eyes - but be careful that it doesn't look too silly. Unless you like silly. GS chainmail or cloth mask over lower face. GS hoods (a la skaven plague monks) Gouge out the whole front of the helmet and replace with a sickly nest of eyeballs. Different sizes. A nurgling instead of a head. Ok I'm out of ideas now.

aekold Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I like the conversions, except for the feet. If you want to sculpt cloven feet, look at the warhammer fantasy beastmen gors or minotaurs for inspiration.

Oknights Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 The Bloodletter conversion is coming along great. The only thing I would do is change up and gs the feet. The marines just make me want to vomit and they aren't even painted yet, keep up the great work.

Metal Fingered Villain Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 When adding cloven hooffed feet, it is usually best to just get rid of most of the underlying foot, otherwise they will always come out gigantic, I learned the heard way. the blood letter conversion is coming along great, is that a Heresy plague daemon head? One thing I would consider is shaving down his deltoids, they are gigantic! Other then that I'd say good work.

FALLOUT1983 Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Ive made 2 more plaguebearers and i had i go at giving hooves to the one i made earlier I'm liking making the cleavers cant wait to get some more black spray paint get some washes and ink on them :) http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00592.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00595.jpg PB 2 http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00588.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00587.jpg PB 3 http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00575.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00580.jpg 1st one with new hooves http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00591.jpg http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj234/mrlee83ork/DEATH%20GUARD/DSC00589.jpg plz comment Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152465-death-guard-army-blog-update-041208/#findComment-1781125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishSpit Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 nice conversion work there! I too am converting my AoBR marines to plauge marines. Yours are looking good, but the hooves don't look so good, also my main complanit is that on your bolters there is an exact patch of square muscley/flesh stuff that looks WAAAAY to uniform, like you were trying to hide imperial insignias or something ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152465-death-guard-army-blog-update-041208/#findComment-1781349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 very digusting army you have there :devil: some solid nurgly conversions and i think the daemons actually work really well. when you paint them you could try adding thin paint to pva glue and drizzle it out of some of those weeping sores on its back for a good grossout Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152465-death-guard-army-blog-update-041208/#findComment-1781382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
