Shannar Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 One day I decided to make pure Death Guard army, and I´m not a big fan of GW PM models, so I converted normal Chaos Space marines...here are some pics..

cathar the great Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Overall nice conversions, but you still got miles to go with the painting. So far, all the minis look the same. Stop drybrushing and get some real paint on the details and give the whole mini a wash of some kind Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159068-wip-death-guard/#findComment-1864006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aekold Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 A good start, but you should really wash the metal parts with a black and/or brown wash. They look way to clean for death guard.

nurglephill Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 i say you have a fantastic imagination and they are really very good for your first DG. as for the paint. i think you need to pick out the armour trim to break up the models colour and give the armour some washes. washes are so so easy and take no time at all. just by washing them black ni the corners and then brown and green all over you will be amazed at the change. if you insist on drybrushing (hell i cant blame you painting these things takes ages!) then experiment with drybrushing then using a wash over it to blend the highlight colour back into the model. you wont get that chalky stark look this way. my only other tip is rust! rust takes a matter of 1 min per model to do and makes everything look better :D. use the solar orange (if thats the right name) in the foundation paint set. stipple it on there and your way! good luck, keep that imagination fired up and enjoy them! phill Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159068-wip-death-guard/#findComment-1865125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 As the others said, needs more colour and highlighting. Also what happened to the 1st Flamer guy's head? ;) Apart from that, they look pretty good Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159068-wip-death-guard/#findComment-1865667 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snozz Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Those conversions are fantastic. However the painting needs some work. One of the brilliant things about Nurgle is that the models are easy to paint up to tabletop standard in no time at all. The key is to remember that 1) Washes are your friend 2) There is a huge variety of diseases so they're not all going to be the same colour. So go look at the Gw Wash range and start slapping it all over them. Brown would be a good start on all of them, it would shade the metal and the armour well. Black could also work on the metal, but I think brown would be better. Then on some bits of them add purple, red, green or yellow washes. Paint the diseased tissue areas in more fleshy colours but use washes to give them a sickly pale colour with a purple or green tinge. Pick out the skulls aswell, a drybrush of bleached bone followed by a wash of brown or even green would do that nicely. Remember variety is important! And remember to do the details.
