Verux WIP Death Guard

[Swarbie8D]

A sneak peak of my workshop at the moment.

 

Hah, that’s almost the exact same idea I just started working on for my Nurgle-aligned Dark Mechanicum magos!

 

Great work on all these guys, they look so striking and vibrant in the original Legion colours

That vile tech heresy is delicious. Well done.

[Verux]

Here is a bit of progress I have made on my DP. Lots of back and forth on this guy as I have had trouble making things work together visually. 

 

 

Overall I am happy with the direction he is going. I will add some chains / cloth under the front armor panel.

 

 

Originally I wanted large spikes on the shoulder pads but decided against it and made it a bit plainer. I am thinking of adding some exhaust to the back of the carapace. 

 

 

I always stick a nurgling on the model if possible. This guy is mostly here to cover up my poor greenstuff skills.

 

 

This is my first attempt at scratch building something with plasticard. I have realized I need yet more tools to achieve what I originally wanted. But this will do for now.

 

I hope you enjoy. I have also been painting the Japanese Death Guard models. They are nearly finished and I will post them soon. Thanks for looking.

Really great stuff, can't wait to see more!

I love it. But I feel like the back legs need to angle back to support his back end. Right now they look to straight out of his side. Maybe you could place some smaller legs behind the bigger ones

[Verux]

Brother Callidan I tend to agree. The problem is that the model barely fits on the base as is so positioning the back legs was limited. I thought about adding a smaller set on the back but everywhere I attempted stuck out like a sore thumb.

 

I may have another go at it. Thanks for the input.

[Verux]

So i splurged and ordered the Japanese Death Guard set. I have to say these models are pretty nice. The detail level is great, each base has some details and a nurgling.

 

Not finished with these guys yet but I have the majority finished. I need to do some weathering and touch ups.

 

 

I tried something new for the orange plasma. I also tried to make his cloak look moldy.

The candles were a neat addition to the model. Not something you usually see in the Death Guard range but I think they turned out nicely.

 

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy. More conversions to come but I have to take some time to finish my sons knight for his Black Legion Army.

Nice!  I really like the old-school bone colored armor, and the rusty weapons are really well done (I'm going to have to give your formula a try on some of my own figures).

Thanks for the compliment. The bone color tends to make weathering stand out so much more than the 40k green scheme. As for the rust it is a bit toned down compared to some but I think it makes it more realistic.

edit. Wrong Topic! But the Deamon Prince is on my painting table!

Finally put some paint to this big guy. Had trouble balancing the colors but I am happy with the results.

 

Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking!

Amazing conversion with an incredible paint job!

 

Well done!

[Verux]

Thanks for the kind words. He turned out almost exactly as I envisioned him.
