My friend is doing IHs now so I can't do them, I'm unsure as to how to paint death guard though and the scheme seems like it would be a pain.

Its actually very easy and straight forward, offwhite, wash, wash, and wash again. Tidy up with a little more off white highlights. Done smile.png

What do you base it with, white spray or can u go with black? as to the off white are you on about ushabti bone or something else?

Yeah problem is though he doesn't entirely use GW paints and I spend a lot of time at my local GW store, it's where I get most of my painting done and to walk in and dump a lot of non GW paints on the table won't exactly be smiled upon :/

I think the torso/ head/ shoulder packs are a good idea . Since alot of people are on a tight-ish budget, sprinkling a few heads here and there on plastic minis, maybe a torso for leaders and some shoulders pads you can get a visually distict 30k looking force without paying for a full FW army.

 

When it comes to the order in which they release the kits though, I suppose they figure some legions are more popular them others, or maybe they just do rock- paper- scissors for which legion to do next ;)

1. Prime Black

2. heavy drybrush of Ushabti Bone

3.heavy-ish wash of Agrax Eartshade

4.light drybrush of Ushabti Bone

5.very light drybrush of Pallid Wych Flesh

That's how I do my Death Guard white.

Holy hell! It just gets harder picking a legion!

 

Love both upgrade kits and always helps to just have a lil bit more to add to your marines for personalization.

 

@WoT..the paints I used in my guide were just my personal choice...all those can easily be swapped for the gw line. .should be able to use this link to help find colour matches. .

Hope this helps out

I was thinking about whether u could use the death guard helms or chests to make the sons of horus u see in the collected visions, such as Targost

Loving the upgrade packs! Personally the last 2-3 weeks I have really enjoyed my Fridays because of FW releases have been awesome lately. I know people are tired of DG, WE, SoH and EC releases lately but I am looking forward to the upgrade pack for EC and minis for Eidolon and Maloghurst whenever they are going to be released whistlingW.gif

Oh, definitely. A little greenstuff could go a long way there.

 

Also, I forgot how beautiful that piece of art was. Thanks for posting that.

I don't see why people are complaining... so what if you're Legion doesn't have a unique kit yet, it will. Let us who have been waiting since Betrayal have our day.

 

It isn't so much the fact that I want my own Legion to get something. I'm just pointing out the bias that seems to be building with certain Legions.

 

As a comparison:

 

The Worst

 

 

Emperor's Children - Primarch, Contemptor, Kakphonii, Pheonix Guard, Palatine Blades

 

Sons of Horus - Horus (imminent) , Abaddon, Loken, Reavers, Justaerin, Upgrade Kits, Command Kit, Contemptor

 

 

The Middle Ground

 

Death Guard - Typhon, Contemptor, Death Shroud, Grave Wardens, Upgrade Kits

 

Word Bearers - Lorgar, Erebus, Kor Phaeron, Ashen Circle

 

Iron Hands - Ferrus Manus, Contemptor, Legion Squad, Upgrade Kits, Medusan Immortals

 

World Eaters - Primarch, Contemptor, Rampagers, Red Butchers, Khârn

 

 

Least

 

Night Lords - Night Raptors

 

Salamanders - Nothing

 

 

I'll clear a couple of things up before I go further just so I can't be accused of anything. Yes I'd prefer more Night Lords. Yes I think the upgrade kits are fantastic and if I could choose any Legion to get some serious love it would be Salamanders because to say they've had the short end of the stick is a total understatement.

 

So what if the 4 in Betrayal didn't get everything at once? Big deal. There's still going to be WE/SoH/EC/DG players moaning about that even when Extinction is out and they're placed firmly on the back burner (I hope). Which is exactly my point. When Vol 3 drops everything is going to be pushed headlong into getting kits for those Legions out the door (which is right, it's a massive release and people looking to pick it up for those Legions will want stuff to go with it, it's good business sense) All of the units listed in Massacre for the 4 from Betrayal are out. Even 2 of the 4 special characters have gotten out the door. And this isn't like last year. There's no year long gap to get a lot of the generic stuff for all the Legions out the door as well as Legion centric stuff.

 

Who knows. I could be wrong on all of the points above. I'm going to the open day next month so I'll put the question straight to Alan, Edgar or Phil if I'm lucky enough to talk to them
