Muskie Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Normally it isn't good when you can see the brush strokes, but the weathering works as you've stuck with it on all the models. Not sure if the green trim is just right, but the army looks good as a whole and that is the most important thing, that and being fun to play with and against.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Personally, I like the green trim shade, but that's just me, who spent around an hour picking out a paint scheme for his Tau, and still doesn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cvife Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Just a quick update today. I've finished the attack bike: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1244.jpg This means that the army I'm taking to the doubles tournament is finished, and only just on time! Also, I have to admit, say what you want about the Inland Revenue, I quite like them, they gave me a nice christmas bonus because I payed too much tax. So I've ordered more stuff for this army, including, a new tactical squad, a mortis Contemptor and enough parts to make a command squad, Including for the first time in this army, some mk4 marines. So, looking forward to that. Oh and just for good measure, here's a shot of all the finished stuff: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1243.jpg Until next time!

Cvife Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yay, it's time for a good and interesting update! Firstly, I went to the doubles tournament, and came stone, dead, last... which was fine because I also won best army, and this made me happy. Because of this, I have bought more stuff which isn't just an attack bike. My forge world order arrived today, and it contained: 3 packs of mk3 armour 1 pack of mk4 armour 1 contemptor dreadnought 2 kheres pattern assault cannons 1 contemptor cyclone missile launcher 1 pack of phobos pattern bolters from this pack I will make: Another tactical squad (I know it's a bit boring, but more marines always looks better then fewer!) A mortis pattern contemptor dreadnought. A command Squad and some leftovers. Here's the contemptor: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1322.jpg I know the pose is a little boring, but this is a shooty dreadnought not a cool chargy dreadnought next up is the command squad, I've tried to make every model different. I imagine this squad will be next to useless on the tabletop, but if the doubles tournament has told me anything, it's that I like using this army no matter how badly it does! First is the apothecary: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1314.jpg Next is the Company champion, I gave him a mk4 head, I'm really fond of the idea that the army's veterans are being used as a testbed for the new armour technology and as the squads dedicated combat guy, the champion would appreciate the upgraded senses: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1316.jpg heres a guy with a plasma gun and storm shield, not really sure what purpose he serves, but he looks pretty cool: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1317.jpg next is the sergeant (he has no rules but that's his job), he's armed with a power fist and flamer, just because I can, he also has a complete set of mk4 armour: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1319.jpg and finally here's the standard bearer, possibly my favorite model in the army: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1315.jpg and a photo of the whole squad: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1320.jpg That is all.

Cvife Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hi everyone! Merry Christmas and such. I have an update for you all. Despite being hideously busy at work over the past couple of weeks I've still found the time to do some modeling and painting, Here's what I've been up to: Firstly, let's get the boring stuff out of the way, here's tactical squad number 4: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1370.jpg And the only interesting member of the squad, the sergeant: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1372.jpg Next is the 3rd contemptor dreadnought, almost finished, but still needs some fine detail work doing like the eyes and legion icon: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1373.jpg With the release of Imperial Armour Apocalypse second edition, I've had the drive to play more big games and with 3 contemptor dreadnoughts in this army I felt that the Ancients assault force was a good choice of formation, so here's the techmarine that I've been working on, I thought it would be cool to make him look more like a high ranking mechanicum tech priest, so he has nothing on him to show affiliation the Death Guard, just lots of red, black and white, and grease, lots of grease: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1375.jpg and here's a friend for him, just a totally basic techmarine with no upgrades, not sure if he'll be death guard or mechanicum yet: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1369.jpg Now onto the command squad, they're pretty much done, here's the photos and a group shot of the whole squad: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1368.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1367.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1365.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1364.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1363.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1361.jpg And finally the whole army, beginning to look quite impressive now! http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1377.jpg That is All!

Cvife Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 finally, an update: I've been buying new stuff from forgeworld because, well, I don't need to explain my reasons to you, I just did, OK! Anyway... firstly I've basically finished the mortis contemptor, and I want another one now (seriously, that thing is lethal!): http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1398.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1400.jpg I've bought a new dreadnought, this time it's not a contemptor, instead I just went for a normal dreadnought with a multi melta and close combat, I'm finding it's so cheep in game that it is difficult for it to not do well!: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1394.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1396.jpg And finally, I couldn't help but buy the new predator kit, It's a really great model!: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1391.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1401.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1403.jpg That's is all.

Cvife Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Time for a small update. I have decided to prove that I can convert my own models and don't just buy stuff from forgeworld, so I've been working on one of the major elements of the death guard that this army doesn't contain yet, Terminators! The main issue I have with terminators in this army is the shoulder pads, but in the end I just had to go ahead and convert some out of Plasticard and brass, which I think came out quite well! I also used some spare plastic parts including heads from grey knight terminators and torsos from chaos terminators, basically ensuring that this is a conversion which I will find annoyingly difficult to replicate when I decide I want more terminators! Anyway, heres some photos I took just before I sprayed them: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1404.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1405.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/DSCN1407.jpg That is all.

Cleal Baros Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Any chance you'll do a step by step of how you paint these guys? They look perfect, exactly how a Death Guard army should look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cvife Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Time for a long awaited update on this army: Hmmm, what have I been up to recently? well, firstly, I've almost finished the terminators, I am really quite pleased with how these guys have come out, even it a am slightly annoyed that Forge World have lust released a squad of their own! Here's the photo: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0675.jpg Next up, Forge world recently made an update to some of the space marine units they produce including some rather nifty rules for Veteran Sergeant Haas, so I felt it would be important to include him in this army, here's the model I made: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0673.jpg A recent trip to warhammer world proved to be good for this army but bad for my wallet as it just so happens that their store carries the complete range of forgeworld products, so I bought (among other things) an new Mortis Contemptor... I think they look better in pairs!: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0674.jpg And Finally, Im heading to an 1850 pts tournament in Brighton at the end of April, last time I took this army to a tournament I came stone dead last, but won best army, this tim I still want to get best army, but I also want to win some games, here's the army list I plan on taking: 1850 pts heresy era death guard 1 Pedro Kantor 5 Terminators Cyclone Missile Launcher 2 x Chainfist 1 Techmarine Servo Harness 10 Tactical Squad Missile Launcher Melta Gun Veteran Sergeant Haas 10 Tactical Squad Missile Launcher Melta Gun Power Fist 10 Tactical Squad Missile Launcher Melta Gun Power Fist 10 Tactical Squad Missile Launcher Melta Gun 1 Mortis Pattern Contemptor Dreadnought 2 x Kheres Pattern Assault Cannons Cyclone Missile Launcher 1 Mortis Pattern Contemptor Dreadnought 2 x Kheres Pattern Assault Cannons Cyclone Missile Launcher 1 Predator Lascannon Sponsons Dozar Blade Army Total 1850 And here's how it looks as an army: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0671.jpg That's all for now!

Death Guard Trooper Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Wow! Very nice, your army is coming along great. Patiently waiting for more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cvife Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi, I' been a while, but anyway, it's time for a rather large update! So firstly, I took this army to a recent tournament and came 12th overall (out of 37 players). But more importantly than that, I won best army! And that made me very happy. on to some photos... Since the tournament I've been working on a unit of Sternguard veterans based on the mk4 maximus armour, and just because I can, they're armed with 6 combi-meltas, 2 combi-flamers and 2 heavy flamers! their job is to ride around in a Drop Pod, wreak havoc and then die horribly. However, after some play testing, I've found that pedro making them scoring is very good and they provide a massive distraction unit! Here's some photos: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0838.jpg Here's one of the heavy flamers, I converted them from a Grey Knights Psycannon!: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0839.jpg and Finally, heres the sergeant and 2 of the combi-melta guys: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0840.jpg The other new thing in this army is a vindicator, I decided to buy this when one of my regular opponents decided to start a Dragowing army with something like 20 paladins. When I thought about this I quickly realized that I wouldn't be able to beat an army like that, so a vindicator seemed like the logical choice!: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0837.jpg More to come!

Cvife Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 here's a photo of the vindicator and predator together (the vindicator is waiting for a fancy tank commander from forge world, that's why it has a hole in the top!): http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0845.jpg next is some photos of finished stuff, firstly, the terminators, where I've added Legion symbols and painted the rockets in the cyclone Missile launcher: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0843.jpg the two Mortis Contemptors are done, and I am very happy with them: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0844.jpg and the attack bike has a friend, not only do I think they look effective in pairs, but they will have a use during games now that isn't just filling points!: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0841.jpg The next post will be army shots so far...

Cvife Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 and finally (for today at least, and indeed at most!), some shots of the whole army: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0852.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0853.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0855.jpg And the whole thing: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/cvife/IMG_0851.jpg That's all for now, hopefully I'll have an order arrive today from forgeworld containing, among other things, 3 rapiers and yet another tactical squad. Until next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 So... aweso-mazing - four (!?!) Contemptors will do that. So dirty and worn, and yet so clean. Some might think it's too much weathering, but it's so much more accurate to real equipment in the field. They just ooze 'Been there, done that. What's next?'. Can't wait to see more.

Cvife Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm back! Lots of people have been pressuring me to add a land raider proteus to this army, so I did. I have to say that before I bought one I was really in to minds with regards to this model, on the forge world wed site it looks great from some angles but terrible from others, however, now I own one and have had the chance to look at it properly, I really love it, here's the photos: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_0940.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_0941.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_0942.jpg That all for now, I promise I'll update this blog sooner next time!

malika666 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hmm, maybe add even more Terminators and then a Land Raider Spartan. That one could then be used for the Terminators whilst your HQ moves around in the Land Raider Proteus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdfox Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I wanna kick myself for only noticing this thread now. Really loving the colors here. Simple yet effective. Those two Contemptors with assault cannons look really menacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Needs Land Raider Proteus! Lovely army. My Nurgle Marines are an offshoot of Death Guard, and some still bear the markings... I need to make some heresy-era markings and corrode them on some of my vehicles. Colors look great, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cvife Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Ok, so... Time for a BIG update, I have been a little busy! Firstly, I have decided to further theme this army, The intention is now that they are from the Isstvan V drop site massacres, so they are traitors but aren't yet followers of Nurgle, or strictly speking, Chaos at all, they just prefer Horus to the Emperor, this allows for me to branch out into the other legions which were about at that time, and with the new allies system that will be easier then ever! but more on that later. Firstly, I want to show off some of the Death Guard stuff I've been working on. I've pretty much finished the Land Raider Proteus, all that's left to do is some highlighting around the weapons and a couple of lenses, I've also added to the weathering around the tracks to give it an even more worn and well used appearance: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_0974.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_0972.jpg I also couldn't resist adding a flyer to my army, so I bought a Storm Talon, I don't think it's the greatest model out there (It is massively better then the Storm Raven though!) and it won't be featuring in any major painting competitions such as Armies on parade, but I has some decent rules and is probably the easiest way to add a flyer to a Space Marine army, here's the photos: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_0983.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_0982.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
