El-Diablo Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 It's been a little while since I posted anything new to the B+C, but over a few games of Space Marine, Doghouse reminded me than I hadn't posted any pictures of my Death Guard army. Probably around a year went into building and painting everything, and i've included a small selection of the pics below. This is the first part of a larger force, involving all 4 Chaos Powers across Daemons, Traitor Marines and Traitor Guard. Im also planning a counts as Sisters force involving the personal army of a Black Cardinal. The grand total for this lot comes to - Typhus Daemon Prince Sorcerer 4 Man Termicide Melta unit, with a Flamer version wip Dreadnought 4 Plague Marine squads all 7 strong, 3 in Rhinos, 1 in a Land Raider Vindicator and a lone Oblitirator. Thats not including the stuff that can cross lists, such as the Plague Hulk. Anyway, you all came for pictures, so pictures you shall have.

Isiah Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Awesome sauce. Cool Nurgle indeed with a great colour pallet and some really smooth blending. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Cheers Isiah, have to admit though, aside from the flesh, no real attempts at blending, its all washes! Seeing as Isiah kindly put an end to my merging posts, heres the rest of the pictures.

Talon Darkshade Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Great works of decay you have there. Question: How do you go about making your pallid flesh look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Excellent work. That's a very consistent and cohesive painting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sushichef Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Beautifully painted. You make Nurgle proud. Especially love the rusted and worn out look. Solid. Keep up the good work. :yes: Hope my plague marines didn't see this. Because if they did they'd make me re-paint the whole army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Thanks all. Question: How do you go about making your pallid flesh look? The flesh was the most time consuming part im afraid due to the fact that everything after the first 3 or 4 layers is glazed shades, probably around 20 layers on faces up to close to 60 glazed layers on the Daemon Prince. Basecoat Astronomican Grey. Add white to Astro Grey for 3 highlight stages until you get close to pure white (stop just before you hi pure white though otherwise the effect becomes a bit chalky) Now comes the fun part. Water down Tallarn Flesh, Catachan Green, Baal Red and Levaithan Purple to around 20 parts water to 1 part paint - for the first few layers alternate between layer of Tallarn Flesh and Catachan Green, then use red and purple in select areas to add brusing and around areas of interest. Oce the initial layers are on, you want to keep the glazes in the recessed areas otherwise you risk loosing the detail on the skin. This is the only skin wip shot i've got im afraid, but it gives you an idea on what your looking for before starting the glazing. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Death%20Guard/Princewip6.jpg Hopefully that helps somewhat.

Dark Sensei Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 What a splendid army ! Perfect choice of colors and that's kinda hard for a Nurgle army. DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 What a fantastic comeback. The army is looking amazing I really like the colour on the armour, time consuming but totally worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 A really great use of assorted parts here, Midian - especially those gorgeous FW sculpts. I've missed your work on here, though I must confess that I check in from time to time on AB to see what you're up to these days. BTW, I will always envy your brilliant use of washes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
