El_Dicko Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Looking absolutely killer so far! Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/page/2/#findComment-4799003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The classic scheme looks great, but I'm not sure about Typhus base, I guess it is the brown trim...

Tzen Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Ta chaps! I know what you mean about his base. I kinda phoned it in towards the end of Typhus because the quality of the cast was err... less than stellar! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/page/2/#findComment-4799012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Imo typhus has a bit too many different colours going on at once and it's a bit distracting as result. Your Plasma guy is looking really good so far though, maybe it's because of no crazy base :p Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/page/2/#findComment-4799406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) I agree Skimask. I think it may be something to do with Chaos marines and the old legion colour scheme. Chaos marines are much busier models, and the Death Guard colour scheme is busy in and of itself. It makes painting the minis are slightly more difficult task. Anyhoo! Nearly done! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dg6.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dg7.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dg8.jpg I doubt I will finish this guy today. I was hoping to, but got quite got enough time.

k0nahrik Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Typhus is incredible! Personally I love the base, the colours aren't too bright at all. WIP plasma guy looking great too!

GrandMagnus Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 And here I was thinking I was going to do black legion plague marines and you go giving me ideas, shame on you :P Looks great Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/page/2/#findComment-4799430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks Magnus! :D I am still not 100% sold on the colour scheme. It's too monotone, but it could also be that this is the second model I have painted this way and I am feeling my round it. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/page/2/#findComment-4799440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'm really liking the marine. I think the old sculpt is the culprit for sure; meticulous edge highlighting like yours gets a bit overwhelming with all the ridges and details on typhus. Also i think the lack of purple and brown (at least for now) helps Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/page/2/#findComment-4799585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Thanks man. :) I wanted to try and recreate the banner below… http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/40k-lifesize-vinyl-banner-Death-Guard.jpg …Into his cloak thing on this guys back. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dg9banner.jpg Not sure how well it goes across on the model. But I wanted him to have a memento from the Heresy. Harking back to his “glory days”.

GrandMagnus Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Gotta admit, I'm a bit on the edge for the cloak. At first I like the idea of it being a memento of the heresy, but I feel the colours blend a lot with the armour and shoulder pads. The paintjob is good, the skull could maybe benefit from smaller eyes and nose, but otherwise the freehand is good.

Tzen Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'm the same Magnus. Exact same reasons too. Gonna dirty it up a little, and probably leave it. The skull looks the way it is as it's an old joke amongst friends and fans of a certain webcomic. To say it's a little "inside baseball" would be an understatement! :D GrandMagnus and SkimaskMohawk 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/page/2/#findComment-4799664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Well, if it's an inside joke then by all means carry on :P Looking forward to seeing your poxwalkers, I've finished a couple of my own, I'll try to start a thread tomorrow in the WIP section.

Tzen Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 I don't think I will be painting any Poxwalkers. If I am honest I need to take a step back after this guy, and prioritise what I want to paint. I really want to go back to both my Thousand Sons and Word Bearers. 8th edition has really got my pumped for the game and my older forces! :D GrandMagnus 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/page/2/#findComment-4799785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Y think the cloak looks great this way, though it could benefit a lot from some dirtying up. Also, while your TS are awesome, it's a shame to know that you'll leave the new death guard so soon!

Tzen Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 When Mortarion hits I will deffo be working on him. I dont think i'll be able to resist! So not totally stopping on him. And I would say I spent an afternoon on Typhus, and aout 2 days on the most recent fella. :D Well, I may take some slightly better photos later on, but this guy is finished! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dgfinished1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dgfinished2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dgfinished3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dgfinished4.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/dgfinished5.jpg Not sure what to do next. I have a few armies on the boil at the moment and it's really distracting!

Mechanist Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Phenomenal as always and the simpler base really helps over Typhus, the barrel is great but his rock is very old school with the blue grey you almost need a goblin green rim to fit into the 90s style. But it doesn't work so well with a model that's painted to a great modern standard and I feel is a bit disjointed. I wouldn't have a the whole unit with bases that plain a few little details like small leaky pipes or the odd pool of goo would probably be enough. Weathered down the Cape really works well and the marine is fantastic.

Tzen Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Ta man. Really glad you like and I agree totally with the typhus criticisms. He may end up being rebased. I don't know why, but I always seem to neglect bases. And I genuinely love doing them.

Mechanist Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Changing the colours up for the rocks would make a sizable difference. You can use pailer greys less blue and then weather them and drybrush yellow to give a worn stained rocky effect with lichen growing which would suit the modern paint job.

Tzen Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thanks Corswain! I'm happy with how it turned out, I like the fact he has kept it, maybe a small part of him regrets his current state, and it's a reminder of the glory days! :D And I think I'll end up totally redoing the base for Typhus. Although there could be a new one on the way if Mortarion is arriving. In which case I'll just ignore the old one! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334704-tzens-wip-death-guard-thread/page/2/#findComment-4800717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagentus Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Really nice minis so far. They look pretty interesting to paint. The cloak looks awesome. Lol the only problem with having more than one army.
