Pate's Death Guard (IMG heavy)

[pate]

I've just descided to pick up my DG again, they've been shelved for about 6-8 months. The army is planned to be 1750 points. Consisting of:

 

1 Daemon Prince with wings, Converted GW metal nurgle prince.

21 Plague Marines in 3 squads. A mix of fw DG conversion kit, gw-metal PM's and metal DG shoulder pads and lastly some 3rd party parts.

5 Terminators. FW DG konversion kit.

3 Rhinos. Some minor conversion work.

1 Land rader with FW DG doors.

3 Obliterators.

1 FW DG Dreadnaught.

 

I descided to start this WIP thread to help motivate me:) I'll show you some pictures of where I was at when I shelved them.

 

First out is a squad of PMs and their Rhino.

Neither the Marines nor the Rhino is finished. I've actually done some more work on the Rhino since that picture, been messing about with MIG-pigments to get rust and dirt-effects. Quite nice stuff, but messy as nothing else.

 

The Squad without their Rhino.

Here's a pic of what I've painted / begun painting so far. Here you can see the dirt-effect on the Rhino, although it's a blurry picture.

So! Any thougts / comments or what not to help encourage me, or to discourage me if that's more your style:), are more than welcome. Cheers. I have 9 or so Marines to paint, 5 terminators, 3 obliterators, 1 landraider, 5 terminators and last but no the least, a deamon prince. I'm a slow poke painter so I need all the support I can get:P It's actually only the dread that's 100% finished:(

Looking good Pate!!!

 

As a Death Guard player myself its always good to see a cool army!

 

Keep at it, can't wait to see it finished

[chaplain belisarius]

wow! looking good...:(

 

how did you paint them?

[pate]

Thanks guys:) I can't really remember how I painted them. I had the formula written down on a paper, which got lost when I changes apartment. It's basically suvvesive layers of color and wash. Gretchin green, desert yellow and catachan green are the base colors. I've used both devlan mud and gryphonne sepia. Camo green and rotting flesh were involved in the higlighting. The dread uses basically the same colors except I've put a lot more work into it than the rest. The sorcerer is a different story alltogeher.

I really like the sores on the Rhino. Great job on the Dread, too. I was thinking of doing something similar with the older FW Dread body having the newer mutated arm (I've already got the new torso with the chainfist).

 

It's a shame the Sorc isn't so useful in games. He's such a cool model. I plan on picking him up eventually just in case Lords/Sorcs come back strong in a future Chaos 'dex.

 

Keep it going, though. It took me a few years to get my army (mostly) painted, so I know your plight. Join the Calls of Chaos painting things as they come up on these boards. I know the last one helped me stay motivated to get a bunch done.

[Verbal Underbelly]

Holy sh!t they are beautiful! The clarity of your colours is insane.

Thanks:) Is the older one the one with the banner? Yeah, it's relly ashame that the sorc isn't of much use.

You've actually got the older FW Dread torso. The banner guy was their second Death Guard one. FW loves Nurgle!

[Muskie]

Nice dread.

 

Green and purple is the way to go, eh?

People who can paint and model, like Nurgle. Forgeworld caters to them, plus the French always seem to win Golden Deamons with Nurgle models...
