CMDR_Welles Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I am at a point I felt comfortable taking some pics of my progress. I still need to add basing material to most of these bases, but otherwise they are almost ready for priming. I've still got 20 of 26 Poxwalkers to finish assembling. Once assembly and basing are complete, I'll be breaking out the airbrush to prime and basecoat them all in one go. I've still got some work to do before then though. A few notes: Sorry for the bad pictures on some of these. My camera batteries were dying. That is a 20 man Cultist Squad with 2 Heavy Stubbers and Autoguns. The Helbrute is fully magnetized, those were just the weapon options I could find tonight. I'm still not set on using it because it doesn't have Disgustingly Resilient... But we'll see. I also have a melee converted one with two Fists and HFlamers, but I need to finish it. Drones are all the base drones from Dark Imperium, two of which are sporting Faceplates from the Drone kit. I still haven't assembled the Drone kit Drone yet as I want to magnetize it for Spitters and Mower. I'm just out of magnets right now. Plasma Squad Blight Launcher Squad Close Support Squad with Meltaguns and a Flail And some Close ups. I really like Fly Guy.

CMDR_Welles Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 I got the 20 Poxwalkers assembled and I even got the basing material on them, the Plaguecaster, Helbrute, the two Drones, and... I got through basing three of the Plague Marines and ran out of superglue... damnit..

Slippy Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I always base with PVA/wood glue. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342874-legion-of-the-ashen-choir-52619-blightlords/#findComment-4971640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMDR_Welles Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 I always base with PVA/wood glue. I did for a long time too. Then I realized how much time I was spending just to get texture on the bases. With Superglue, its a near instant drying time. That, and its never coming off.

CMDR_Welles Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'd pretty much given up on Christmas again this year. Not really had one or gifts since my Father died in 2012. The week before Christmas we found out my mom has cancer, so that was looking to be the only "gift" we were going to get... Today that changed when these arrived. It might not seem like much, but it made the world of difference to me. Thank you Secret Santa. I cannot express to you my thanks and gratitude. It has brought tears to my eyes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342874-legion-of-the-ashen-choir-52619-blightlords/#findComment-4972982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Gee man I'm sorry to hear that.... but glad to see your secret santa has 'bloated' your Christmas loot. Have fun with it. I'm really thinking of grabbing Felthius and the boys too. (I think they will be useful as our access to a 3 man Cat squad). Also those Blight Haulers are just plain fun. Super easy to put together (in my thread I have a Wip picture, but am finishing them now). Have fun with it.

I'm probably going leave it in subassemblies for ease of painting. The Blightlords are mostly assembled now.I need to get a 50mm base for Felthius. I know he comes on a 40mm, but I want the base size the same as the Dark Imperium LoC. Hopefully I'll have a progress pic up soon. Your threads has been an inspiration Prot.

CMDR_Welles Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Finished assembly and basing of Lord Felthius, his Cohort and the Plague Hauler I got for Christmas. I also took a pic of the 26 Poxwalkers I finished a few days ago. I'm hoping I can get to the Airbrush soon. I have to have 3 fillings tomorrow, moms cardiologist appointment is on Friday, so hopefully Saturday I can get the time to start priming and basecoating Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342874-legion-of-the-ashen-choir-52619-blightlords/#findComment-4973698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yea that’s a lot of work ahead of you. Great start though. The details on those figs is incredible. Take your time and really enjoy it. I’m Looking forward to the updates!

Take your time and really enjoy it. I’m Looking forward to the updates! Yeah, I know its a lot of work, and with my track record its going to be hard going. I've honestly not had a fully painted army since 1996 and my Necromunda Gang... I'm probably going to tackle the Poxwalkers first. If I can push through that slog, then I think the rest of the army will go a lot smoother. After that, I'll probably do something fun and then finish off those Cultists that have been primed for ages lol. With all the problems going on, I need this distraction. It's the only thing keeping me sane at the moment... I still havent decided on a color scheme yet though...

CMDR_Welles Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Been a productive couple of days. I've got all of my Death Guard that is assembled and primed. This is kind of a big deal for me. Now, I just need to get paint on them! I still have to prime the Helbrute Weapons tomorrow, and then I can put my painting station back together for painting. Then that will leave one Drone left to assemble, but I'm waiting on magnets for that project though. These were primed using Vallejo Surface Primer Ghost Grey, through my Badger 155 Anthem.

Prot Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Wow. That is a ton of stuff. I’d be intimidated by all that at once. I’m glad you’re taking the challenge head on in a big chunk. I have to,work on mine in smaller chunks.

I’m glad you’re taking the challenge head on in a big chunk. I have to,work on mine in smaller chunks. Looking forward to,your progress. I'm going to break it down once painting starts. I need to work on one or two models to solidify color scheme and then crank out the harder things like the 26 Poxwalkers and 20 Cultists. I might start off with either Felthius or the DI LoC and go from there. OR I might start off with the Plasma Gun Plague Marine squad. I've not had a painted army since 1996 (my Orlock gang), so I am really trying to get this done this year. It will be a huge accomplishment. This new medication cocktail I'm on seems to be working, but I also dont want to jinx it. I'm not going to rush this project as I dont want to get discouraged, but I also dont want to break this momentum Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342874-legion-of-the-ashen-choir-52619-blightlords/#findComment-4976582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corswain Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Looking like a nice little army. Either here or WIP is good. WIP is probably better if you wanna expand to other armies but for just Death Guard, here is great. Sorry to hear about your mum. Stay positive though, my mum had cancer and she beat it and is fighting fit today, four years later. Gotta keep positive! It’s a bit cliche but it’s true.

I'll keep it here then, I dont plan anything but Death Guard for the foreseeable future. and thanks. Its hard keeping it together with the depression and PTSD the concerning my fathers death. This project is keeping my mind off it that is for sure. We found out that she is go for surgery before the pacemaker, the cardiologist wants that done before he goes in for the heart. Cancer surgery is going to be Jan 18, so we wont have to wait too long.

CMDR_Welles Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Do you have a particular scheme in mind? /cries no... I'm still debating that... I'm probably going to go Death Guard Green as I bought the paint already. I need to paint a model to lock down the scheme, but I cant decide which one I should start with.

Do just a regular rank and file trooper, a plague marine with just a bolter, that way you can refine exactly how you want the scheme. I might even do a test model. Find a basic unused mini with similar qualities to what you want to test the scheme on (a spare marine for your plagues, a guardsman for your cultists) and just test out how it looks on them! Edit: personally I love the bone and black preheresy scheme! My "plaque" marines will use a modified version of that scheme Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/342874-legion-of-the-ashen-choir-52619-blightlords/#findComment-4976842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 As I am new to B&C, should I be posting this here or in the Work in Progress section? If your intent is to just show the progress of a paint and build type of thread, then a WIP thread is fine. If you intend on exploring more of the hobby, then you can just do it here. I have threads in WIP that are purely paint and build. I have a Death Guard hobby thread here though because it will showcase some thoughts on playstyle, some fiction reviews, and have links to my batreps. I hope that clears some things up and gives you some ideas.

CMDR_Welles Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'll leave it here then. It might not get the exposure like in WIP, but I dont really care about that. This will also be a place I can ask questions specifically about Death Guard.
