Tzen Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It's me, with yet another WIP thread! I have been pretty sick today and yesterday, and inbetween bouts of unholy sickness, I have been putting some paint to Typhus as a test model. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/typhus1.jpg Long way to go yet. Just a test mini. For all I know we could be getting a new Typhus model soonish, so I chose this model to make sure I get to paint it before it becomes obsolete!

Tzen Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thanks Skidman. Never painted a Deathguard before, so just trying to work out how I want them to look. I really like the 30k scheme, just not sure it will work in 40k! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/#findComment-4783146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiritual Liege Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 It's awesome scheme and I'm sure you'll make it work in 40k! Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/#findComment-4783160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aiur Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Painting death guard while sick.....is there such a thing as method painting like method acting? it should be a thing... nice paintjob tho Tzen, Kierdale and The Yak 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/#findComment-4783186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Lovely paintjob. 30k scheme looks good on the 40k version. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/#findComment-4783207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Looks nice, though I think it needs some washes to give it a sickly tinge... it looks too clean for a 40K nurgle marine at this point.

The Mad Hermit Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Great stuff. As usual. I'm considering how nicely this guy looks when thinking about how I'll paint my own Death Guard when I buy the new starter box. They'll be my first chaos miniatures since the late '90s but I think they're too cool looking to not keep for my self.

hushrong Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hello, hello, hello there!! That's it, I want to paint my new DG with Legion colors. That looks great on Chaos!

Tzen Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Thanks as always chaps, I am glad you like so far. I am not entirely sold on using the old legion colours on my death guard. Bu tthat's the point in this test mini! I also think the finecast version of this model hasn't helped much. I bought this when FC first became a thing, so the level of detail isn't as hot as more recent fine cast minis.

gezabutla Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) I think the idea of 40k Death Guard still having their 30k colours makes sense; I can't see a Plague Marine repainting his armour, with it being so far down the laundry list of maintenance issues.

Tzen Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Yeah I agree. I think the idea with the 40k guys is that their armour has decayed into the green colour, but even so I think the traditional colour scheme fits in perfectly with 40k death guard.

Chandrian Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Woow! really like what you did with your Typhus! I couldn't the right colour "while" on my own Typhus and ended up going with the green look, so i'm super impressed :O!!! Totally agree with the traditional colour fitting into the 40k DG especially when you dirty it up some more! Keep it up and get well soon!

hushrong Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Yeah, I really want to do the standard Death Guard green look but I just love their legion colors as well. Plus, I could play them in HH too as late war DG because I think they were corrupted by then, right?

Tzen Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks guys! Hopefully I haven't ruined it! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/typhus2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/typhus3.jpg This has been quite an interesting project for me, as I am usually a "clean" painter. So having to dirty up the mini has been interesting. Still nto sure about the grime yet. I may also add some goo to him.

Biohazard Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Wow. I was going to comment on your Ultras and ask when we would see some more Chaos from you and you deliver this. Great work. I think he looks perfect in the Heresy colours. I'm planning on a bone colour for my DG when I paint them too. Also, agreed Nurglings do in fact rock.

Tzen Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Ta Bio! I am so torn at the moment. I'm not sure which models to paint first when I get my Dark Imperium set.

Tzen Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Little more done to this guy, specifically the dirtying up of the armour! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dg3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dg4.jpg I plan on doing some free hand on his cloak thing, so will return to it later on.
