A bit drab when compared to the HH CCG... was I the only one hoping for a bit... more? Deathshroud were the only ones that had much if any ornamentation to them in the Death Guard, and I for one was looking forward to it.

By comparison, I would much rather the subdued look than that of the artists impression with all the bling.

 

The only things that concern me is the facial nose to eye bridge gap - looks a little weird, and also wishing that the model had more armour around the hip joints (more than just a groin tasset for example).

 

The chest rebreather (?), besagews and man-reaper add some nice touches, and I'm very glad that the symbols don't cover the chest, but instead match that of the contemptor, keeping symbolism to a minimum on the shoulders.

Weren't the Death Guard known for shunning ornamentation and ostentatiousness? Drab would make sense in that case.

 

Yes, but the ornamentation is still pretty minimalist compared to the other legions, and especially when you consider this is Mortarion's personal retinue I think some decor is in order. I think these would do perfectly for a Typhon model, or a generic DG captain even, for instance, but these are basically honor guard, and should be adorned accordingly imo. Don't get me wrong, I do like the models, but they won't represent my Deathshroud (if I ever go the HH gaming route).
