Death Guard-Rebuilding a Legion 11.01.19 - The Year Ahead!

They look ace! For a moment I actually thought their slime "exhausts" came as part of the miniature itself. Great job :smile.:

 

 

You're making me jelly with those Blight Drones.

 

 

Really loving those Drones Chaeron.:thumbsup: 

 

My thanks guys for the lovely comments - very happy with them!

Impressive stuff chap, might have to use the hot glue trick myself when I get round to refurbishing mine, seems to drip better than the pva I was using.

 

You can certainly control it more with the nozzle - and worked better than I anticipated Water Effects to. Give it a go!

 

 

Typhus and the Deathshroud look great mate, especially the eyes. You make me want to add those models to my collection :smile.:. As for the blight drones, the way you've attached them to the bases is really ace. keep it up!

 

You definitely should add them mate! Thanks very much :)

very nice stuff .did you alter the turbines on the blight drones? if so what did you do. they look chunkier than normal

 

They've been affectionately known as the "doughnuts of doom" - I believe the previous owner had a good go with some green stuff or they may even be new parts, I know they're not the same (smaller rotors definitely!) - so I'm guessing it may be a conversion kit of some design? It's not how I would've necessarily done it myself, because they're that much harder to detail, but I thought being fleshy rather than armoured was the best choice given some of the lack of detail.

 

Cheers for the nice comments!

I've now managed to complete my first vow for the ETL! Painting became so much easier when I ripped the Lord of Skulls apart:

So much so, that he is now completed! ROT FOR THE ROT GOD; PUS FOR THE PUS THRONE!

Feels great to have completed a thousand points already, huzzah!

Bit longer than expected due to work commitments, but I've finished the vow! Huzzah! My vow was:
 

I, Chaeron, answer the call of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete from Codex: Chaos Space Marines, IA7: The Siege of Vraks – Part Three and Codex: Chaos Daemons:  Daemon Prince with the Mark of Khorne, Armour, Axe of Blind Fury (Gorechild), The Murder Sword (Gorefather) (count-as, using the model of Angron from Forge World); an EctoFiend, a Decimator with twin-butcher cannons, and 2 x Necrosius, for double the plaguey-goodness, of total value 1045 points on or before August 1st. Success will bring eternal glory to Grandfather Nurgle and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of Shame until the year-end.

 
Here are my "pre-" photos of everything I was working on:

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/Decimator_zps09184c40.jpg
 
And what I hoped will be the pièce de résistance...
 
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/Angron_zpsfffd1989.jpg
 
 
Managed to do this quite quickly:

And then these two bad boys:

Before smashing out and finishing Angron:

Before the last of my pledge:
 

My Decimator and Forge Fiend, one more completed than the other, are being blocked - and I'm about to do the last of the white cover on the Decimator before we start to wash. The Forge needs the flesh and trim doing before I get to that stage - as well as the weapons of choice. Getting there though!
 
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/GW/DaemonWIP_zpsdf53f61b.jpg
 
 
Which became:

With a nice close-up of the Decimator:

These have both been washed to within an inch of their lives - Decimator will need a bit more detailing, bringing out some of the more intricate details on the armour - but is on the whole progressing nicely. The Forge needs more flesh work done to both tidy and improve the shade - and some more work done to both head and weapons, which need some more colouring! 
 
And then finally:
 
Light sadly washes out a few bits that look too light, so I may just adjust these in future, but glad to have them done!
 
Ectofiend:

Bad boys together:

And I'll just need to figure out a new one now.

If anyone is wondering why there's a change of colour scheme from my normal - it's because I've tied it into the Legio Mortis. With my inspiration being Dread Wake.
 
And then added another two vows before the end of the ETL:

Which I completed that evening:

6971pts completed in total - not bad, eh?
 
A very successful ETL all told!

Just wanted to drop in and tell you that someday I will be stealing your blight drone method for some more khornate engines myself.

 

Stealing makes the world go round! Not a problem mate, I cannibalised everyone else's great ideas to get them to that stage - I'd hope that my ideas can offer the same to others too.
