Atia Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Howdy Guys and Girls So it looks like we have a Death Guard sub forum now, eh? Guess it's time to make a showcase thread for my finished Death Guard stuff I'm slowly working on my Siege of Terra era First Plague Company force - my army so far: And some close-ups from my recently finished Dreadnought: 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. Hope you like - stay tuned for more Edited November 28, 2017 by Atia totgeboren, Ishagu, Aasfresser and 17 others 20 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339452-atias-death-guard-siege-of-terra-era-typhus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Cool stuff... I like the contrast of the the pre-heresy paintscheme combined with the obvious mutation and corruption of the new DG sculpts.

Mack Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Looking really good. Painted up my first DG today (aspiring champion). Â I have been waiting for a DG army for years, and I finally have one. My goal... to finally paint up an entire army. Your pictures will serve as inspiration!

FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Some beautifully disgusting, or are they disgustingly beautiful, deathguard you've got there Atia. I especially love the old fw dreadnought and also love the green stripe along the front of the bloat drones hull. Where did you get the dread from, I thought that FW discontinued them, or have you had it awhile?

Mack Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm going to start a thread as well. I think having a thread helps people to keep going on projects... encouragement and critique always helps. Once i get a few guys finished, I'll post. Â Thanks for the suggestion, and keep up the good work on your project!

Urauloth Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I love that Putrefier! Do show us more pics of him, if you get a chance. Â The Tallyman being a former master of signal is a very nice touch. I wonder how many of the legion's old MoS became Tallymen... Â By the way, I can't remember if I've asked, what do you use for the purple robes? They're a great contrast with the armour. Are those Vallejo colours?

I wonder how many of the legion's old MoS became Tallymen... Yeah, I guess most Master of Signal and Master of Ordnance would have become Tallyman later on! Both the Putrifier and the Blightspawn are from the 1st Company Destroyer Cadre btw - the Putrifier was a former Alchemex, while the Blightspawn served as Sergeant of a Rad-Grenadier unit. Â Â Â By the way, I can't remember if I've asked, what do you use for the purple robes? They're a great contrast with the armour. Are those Vallejo colours?

Atia Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017  Typhus  The Traveller, Herald of the Plague God, Host of the Destroyer Hive, First Captain of the Death Guard  http://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/b4953b-1511904412.png  When the Death Guard were adrift in the Warp during the Horus Heresy, dying from the Destroyer Plague, Calas Typhon, First Captain of the XIV Legion, absorbed the full power of the disease, becoming a vessel for this ultimate corruption. Swelling in size, his skin and armour bonded. Great pestilential funnels grew from his body, spewing forth a miasma of destruction. Calas Typhon has been transformed into Typhus, Host of the Destroyer Hive.  brettfp, Ishagu, Azekai and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339452-atias-death-guard-siege-of-terra-era-typhus/#findComment-4944833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
