Death Guard warband showcase.


Recommended Posts

Wow, this newest head really seems to part the waters - interesting. :)

 

I'll have to say that the new head really does look better in person - theres a lot of detail that can't be seen on the crappy pics of green stuff - like rivets, battle damage, etc.

 

I've primed him tonight, and I'm still very happy with the head - I'm sure you'll be convinced when I get some paint on him. :)

The head almost lends to the whole of the model. Where before I was focused on the head, with the zerker helmet, now I'm drawn to the whole model and the head is an interesting point. It fits better with your scheme, imo, as well, and as you said I think it will be much better received with paint.

I am throwing money and pants at the screen but nothing is happening :-(

 

Seriously though, I can only repeat my earlier sentiment: You know what 40k is about, man.

 

 

How hard was it to seperate the Oblit parts from the model to use them on yours?

I've gotten some paint on Pandemion, the scourge of life. I'm pretty pleased with it, I would have liked the head to be more of a focal point, being lighter in colour, but it was a challenge doing that while still having contrast to the lower face. Still, I like him a lot. I hope the paint makes him look better for those of you that didn't like the new head.

Sorry if you've already covered it, didn't see it when i read through the thread though, would you mind sharing your recipe for the dirty white? It's this thread that inspired me to choose death guard for the new codex, and would like to recreate the pre-heresy colours gone dirty effect you have going on.

Thanks a lot. :) I'm messing with an idea for a maulerfiend, but the concept is not quite finalized yet. I am considering using a heldrake as basis. :)

Yup, covered that (alot! ;) ) before, but I'll tell one more time. :)

 

Prime with skull white, paint all trims knarloc green (dilluted, so the sharp edges shine through, giving "autohighlights") and wash with dilluted devlan mud. Afterwards all recesses are carefully painted with badab black wash.

 

When I see threads like this, I wonder why I even bother converting and painting....

 

Awesome job dude!

 

EDIT: That chaos lord reminds me of the Mouth of Sauron. Can you post a tutorial on how you made the head?

 

Erm... I am not really up to doing another one in green stuff, but I can tell you the process. Basically cut down cheekbones and horns on a plaguebearer head, pin a plastic horn the forehead (so the plastic glue will adhere to the plastic head, insted of trying to glue it to green stuff - very little contact surface.), and carefully sculpt the helmet from there. It's not that difficult, just take your time and mind the sharp edges. The rivets on the bottom are made from small dots of white carpenters glue, ala the eyes on the fly. Hope it helps. :)
