Ashe Darke's Death Guard

[Ashe Darke]

This has been long overdue but I've finally gotten around to doing it.

 

Here are some choice pictures of my Death Guard army.

Princes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fatty

Second Prince. The iconic Nurgle Prince. He was a gift from a friend. He didn't come with a head so I made that one out of green stuff. I went for the scythe as well because I didn't like his sword and I had a spare scythe from a Typhus I got that came without a head. The wings were added to make is WYSIWYG legal. They're ok, more of a prototype for some other wings I did. It's not my best.

T Bag

First Prince. His sword comes out of this wrist like that because I knew it would keep breaking off otherwise. He rarely get used but he is a handy spare.

MC Hammer

My most recent Prince. Probably my favourite, mainly because of his size. I learned a lot from Fatty when doing his wings and as you can see they're a lot better. He has some green stuff armour to make the 3+ armour save a bit more believable.

Epidemius

I bought him for Apoc games although I've never really used him. I didn't like half the crap on his chair so I built my own. He's smaller than the other one as well so he's now easier to hide.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Typhus

 

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Typhus.jpg

 

I bought him because in my first list draft he was in it. I've never used him although he was fun to paint.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorcerer

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Sorcerer3.jpg

 

Now when I ordered Tyhpus the first thing I got was lacking a head and the top plate. They sent me a new one but I still had the body and so I made this sorcerer. The back is made from green stuff and is supposed to look a bit beetle like.

Elites

 

Terminators

I got the Chaos Renegade Strike Force for Christmas. It had terminators in it although I didn't really want them, so I thought I'd get the FW kit and put them together. The shoulder pads are ork ones and supposed to look a bit pre-heresy. The claws are the loyalist ones with symbols cut off. I then bulked them up and made them look more DG-like with green stuff although it doesn't really show in the pics

Troops

 

Plague Marines

 

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/PMs3.jpg

 

This is First Squad. There's 10 in total but I decided not to take pics of all of them. They're all made using FW kits.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rhino

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Rhino.jpg

 

First of 3 Rhinos. Trying to do an even coat of wash on vehicles isn't easy and I found the rust drips covers it up quite nicely.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Heavy Support

 

Obliterators

 

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Oblits.jpg

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/2Oblits2.jpg

 

I got sick of carrying the metal ones around and so I made my own plastic ones. I've tried to bulk them up as much as possible but it's not easy. I want to make some more and I have the spare bits, I just need the terminators. I'm quite proud of them.

Land Raider

One of two bricks. I love my Raiders. I've even made my own little 'dozer blades' for tournament purposes.

Really nice models ;)

[Zero_Monroe]

They look fantastic! Great job with the green stuff.

[Plague Dave]

I like how your washes stain your tanks. Looks like your guys fight in a wet environment, and all the filth ends up dripping down.

 

Dig those fly wings on your DPs/Lords, too. I never like big dragon wings on Nurgle stuff, but so many people go that route.

[Ashe Darke]

The drips are supposed to be rust. Most people go for grime and pus etc so I thought I'd do something different. This rust theme runs throughout all my Nurgle units. I'm working on a renegade guard army where rust is a heavy theme. I actually planned for the rust this time and I have a much better method for doing it now. I do a whole coat of rust over the tank and then add the paint that hasn't come off afterwards. Sorry if this breaks any of the PA only rules, they're only there to show the better rust.

Yeah I know what you mean about the wings. They're big and get in the way. These are there yet discrete while not looking out of place. Again I'd gotten better by the second Prince.

 

Cheers for the comments guys :)

I love wheathered affects on vehicles. My army is taking the rust path of decay (almost done) but this is freakin beautiful ! Congrats man.
