Nice as always M'Lady.

[Kriegsmacht]

I like the details you painted. They look great.

[Urauloth]

That weathering is looking really good.

[Arkangilos]

Those are some dirty legs

[hushrong]

That nurgling is going to look sweet when you finish his base with the dreadnought!

[Atia]

Thanks guys

The dread is basically finished - not sure if I'll add the banner, will decide on that later. Anyways - hope you like him!

Treacus

Former Destroyer Sergeant, Ferrus Infernum Dreadnought of the Death Guard

The Death Guard relied throughout the Great Crusade almost exclusively on its infantry to provide its strategic strength, with the bulk of tactical support firepower coming from heavily armed support squads, and later from the Legion's considerable numbers of Terminators and Dreadnoughts, which provided reinforcement and assault spearheads where needed. This focus on heavy infantry formations was also one of the reasons the Death Guard Legion developed a particularly admirable record in fighting to clear Space Hulks of alien infestation and for their ability to destroy fortifications and citadels from within.

For these so-called Zone Mortalis actions, the Castraferrum Dreadnought was introduced in great numbers to support the Legion. Starship boarding actions, tunnel fights and combat deep inside densely built hive cities - there, its lower profile allows the Castraferrum to negotiate low-ceilinged passageways that the taller Contemptor Pattern would be unable to pass along.

When the XIVth Legion fleet arrived on Terra - warped and corrupted, so did their Dreadnoughts - now a dark version of their former glory.

Note: Corrupted Mark IV "Castraferrum" pattern chassis - also refered as Ferrus Infernum Helbrute.

[hushrong]

The dread looks excellent! He definitely looks like he is with good company in that group pic.

While I'm waiting for Mortarion and co to arrive (pff, always these warp storms and late Death Guard fleets ....) ... well, I started to work on another big project:

Internet cookie if someone can tell for what this will be ;)

[Komodo]

Looks like Zone Mortalis. :)

[Atia]

Looks like Zone Mortalis.

True *shares an Orio cookie*!

 

But for what specifically ?

[Uprising]

Probably for army on parade or depicting your army during the Death Guard conversion to Nurgle. 

[Arkangilos]

Hmm I wonder how many gangs will be there

[Dantay VI]

The Terminus Est?

 

Deathguard are looking awesome... and grotty :)

Great ideas but nope. That said, I'll defo using the board for 30k/40k games too

Mhmhm, nope. Although I guess you could also use it to represent a ship, since it's modular anyways!

 

Also - glad you like them! I promise you I have the one or other non chaotic model to paint in the next months too ;)

Kool Aid Man Entrance!

[Dantay VI]

Darn my other thought was the White Scar ship which was scuttled in Path of Heaven or Mortarions flagship, the Endurance.

 

Lookig forward to the non-chaotic stuff, but these are pretty cool also.

Haha, you get a cookie for this alone!

Really awesome ideas. Originally I planned to do an Iron Blood themed board, but well ... I need scenery for the Underhive this November!

(and as the board is modular I defo want to keep the option for a hangar section later!)

The current plan is to re-create the Studio Board in 3D - after that I will prolly add some more custom tiles aswell

[Kriegsmacht]

Cool stuff. Just be careful when cutting that resin.

Thanks ^^ - and no worries, I try not to get high on resin dust 

 

Anyways ... something something Morty!

 

[Arkangilos]

Don't forget to compare them! :D

[hushrong]

YEP YEP YUP! Cannot wait to see the glory of a Primarch painted by your hands!

[Urauloth]

The dread looks so... grumpy.

 

Looking forward to seeing your work on the primarch!

[Kriegsmacht]

Nice can't wait to see some paint on his parts. :tu:
