Ashe Darke Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 This has been long overdue but I've finally gotten around to doing it. Here are some choice pictures of my Death Guard army. HQ Princes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fatty http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Fatty2.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Fatty3.jpg 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 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/TBag.jpg 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 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/MCHammer2.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/MCHammer4.jpg 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 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Epidemius4.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Epidemius3.jpg 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/Sorcerer2.jpg 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 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Termie.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Termie2.jpg 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/Rhino2.jpg 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 http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Raider.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/Raider2.jpg One of two bricks. I love my Raiders. I've even made my own little 'dozer blades' for tournament purposes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somar Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 very nice looking bunch, where is the awesome main weapon of the rhino though? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashe Darke Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Well it comes with it, it's not an extra so I don't have to put it on. It would only break off anyway. Cheers for the comments man :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Looks great man... I especially love the fly wings you have on your DPs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Get around to trying out typhus.. I hear he is a BEAST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argon Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 These are awesome. I really like that you used the original legion scheme instead of vomit green and rust. Green and white is woefully underused. I especially like your "Oblitonators". Those look just plain great. Also, Prince Fatty is pretty cool too. I like the head conversion and the use of Typhus' scythe.

Doom Dice Roller Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yeah, very cool army! Characterful and strong overall DG theme. More detail pics of the obliterators please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashe Darke Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Here's some individual pics of the Obliterators. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1805.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1806.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1807.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1811.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1812.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1813.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1814.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1815.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1816.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1817.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1818.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Obliterators/DSCN1819.jpg And some vehicles I forgot. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/DSCN1833.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/DSCN1835.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/DSCN1823.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/DSCN1827.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/DSCN1828.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/DSCN1829.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a114/ashe_darke/Death%20Guard/DSCN1830.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarInHeaven Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 how do you forget a super-heavy tank? seriosly... very nice models, there nugly but not so over-the-top as most and very nice paintjob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Foot Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Nice work on the Plague Reaper?! I see you've moved the super-heavy chassis forward I almost had not noticed. Thats some smooth work there. Must have taken forever to do those rivets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashe Darke Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 The hardest part was doing the tubes and getting a piece of plastic to fill in the gap. Because it was shifted forwards it didn't meet where it was supposed to and just underneath the demolisher cannon is a panel I had to cut out and put in. I shifted it forwards as the 'sat back' turret didn't look quite right as most tanks generally don't have such a large gap at the front. Doing the paint work for the Plague Reaper was actually easier than any of the other tanks. Because it's made of panels it was easier to take my time with it and do it a stage at a time. With tanks like the Raiders and Rhinos there are large panels that have to be done in one go and it's not easy. The rivets are fun to do, you can take your time and not have to rush anything. It's that final stage that really makes the vehicle pop, it's the most rewarding part, although it requires a lot of wash. I tend to find wash dregs are best for this kinda work as it's thicker than a new pot. I've only ever used it once, it was fun although the main gun didn't last too long. Complete MEQ killer. More troop pics coming soon. EDIT: Hah! Too much activity apparently. Back on the 13th. Maybe I shouldn't do such large pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_forgefather Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I can't see the pictures, the photobook window says "bandwidth exceeded". Any way for you to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashe Darke Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Not really, sorry. Just gonna have to wait until the 13th. I think I'm gonna have to start uploading onto something different. I might give Facebook a go, I doubt they have band width restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient god Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 They have pic size restrictions though. I ran into the same problem today as my own 'bucket's bandwith was exceeded too. Going to upgrade to pro, it's not very expensive... Been using them for like 8 years now, it's fair to give them some money for their trouble eventually. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats some smooth work there.Must have taken forever to do those rivets! My thought exactly on the rivets. You didn't change the gun barrel much or at all on the Plague Reaper, why?
