The last Sons of Albia - a Loyalist Death Guard project

[Billy Butcher]

First mini is done - proof of concept, the rest of his squad are not far behind.

I'll add some fluff when I get the time :D

Going for a quick but decent standard (in my opinion anyway) - a squad should take less than 10 hours total.

I didn't want the typically uber dirty Death Guard - mainly to distinguish them as loyalists.

Looks solid, that's a nice green.

[Chaeron]

Interesting to see Loyalist DG - looking forward to more!

[Marshal Mittens]

Very cool, did you consider painting them as Dusk Raiders? 

[Fire Golem]

That’s a great DG scheme.

I did, but decided against it in the end - this let's me play bad guys if I want,  and I wasn't too keen on the dusk raiders scheme. 

[Billy Butcher]

And the first 10 are done - still musing over the basing theme - it's likely that once me and my friends have finished the Prospero campaign we'll move onto Istvaan III and HH2.0

And to lead them - Lord Chonky Bitz!

Cracking job, he is indeed a chonky boi! Lovely combination of colour shades, think some of the nicest I have seen for DG.

Cheers, I was pretty careful with the Palette used - I was trying to avoid them looking factory fresh and equally the dipped in fudge look :D

Lovely work! Muted / drab but clean and in good working order, which is just how I imagine loyalist DG. 

[sockwithaticket]

Good stuff. It's a really simple touch, but I like the way you've added a helmet to the Ironclad sarcophagus. Also, as a lover of the box dreads, it's cool to see the Ironclad in a scheme you don't often see it done up in.

He's ironclad arms on a box dread, it was a salvage job, but the ironclad body was too far gone to save sadly.

Choom time!

 

Also Boxy Boi became Dred-209

 

Now onto something terminatory...

Nice! I'm so happy to know there's at least one other DG person out there using volkite.

[Brother Sutek]

Looks great! What is the green you're using?

[Cactus]

I love how you've done the volkite coils. Painting the top edge of the coils metallic so the glow is coming from in between is something I don't think I've seen before and it works so well.

Green is 3 parts Tamiya light green to 2 parts Tamiya flat green.

Great looking project! Some of the best looking deathguard, and amazing job weathering white, it's never easy!

Loving the tones and variation in the green on the Raider flanks.

So I tried out the colors and love them! Tamiya is a few more steps but the greens go on so smooth. Thanks again!
