40kFSU Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Loyalist wearing clean Mark VI armor. I’ve been lurking a long time and figured I would finally post something. In Betrayal, the Death Guard armor is described as an ivory grey. So that’s what I went for.

Gederas Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Huh... Clean, Loyalist Death Guard. THAT IS A VIBE, AND I LIKE IT Squark 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379723-doing-the-14th-legion-wrong/#findComment-5977022 Share on other sites More sharing options...

40kFSU Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Hey Gederas and Urauloth. Thanks for stopping by and for the comments. I got some Grave Wardens up next. Given I’m doing this legion all wrong I’m going for an alternate color. From what I know of the lore, these guys are Destroyers in all but name. So that’s how I’m painting them. We shall see how it turns out.

40kFSU Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Some Grave Wardens in the wrong color. I don’t know. I don’t love them, but I don’t not love them enough to strip them and start over. At any rate, probably knock out a tank next.

madlibrarian Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I think they look the bees knees. I wouldn’t strip them LameBeard and MegaVolt87 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379723-doing-the-14th-legion-wrong/#findComment-5979270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I think they're very cool. If you change anything @40kFSU I suggest some darker shading on the green. Photos don't always show the true colours well but it looks like raw green stuff, which triggers a 'that's not finished' response in my brain.

40kFSU Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Thanks madlibrarian, and yeah I decided to keep them. I actually stripped them once already. I used a solid black and it did not go well. Thank you, Cactus. And I see your point about the green. It does give that vibe on the Grave Wardens. The other models look a little more drab. So here are a couple pics. Got a Venator, which is pretty sweet, and some Destroyers with twin hand flamers. I love Destroyers. They are so totally 30k.

40kFSU Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Hey thanks Xenith! Glad you like him. Venator is done. I think he looks pretty good next to the infantry.

40kFSU Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 So, Destroyers done. And a Kratos and Assault Squad on deck. I’ve never played a game of 30k or 40k in my life so I don’t know the rules hardly at all. But I figure an assault squad would be useful for The Reaping since the rest of the army is so slow. But I could be totally wrong. madlibrarian, Brother Sutek, Jareddm and 7 others 8 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379723-doing-the-14th-legion-wrong/#findComment-5980737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry Nostraman Lizard Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Lovely looking force you have there. Can't wait to see the Kratos done up. The alternate grave wardens are nifty too!

MegaVolt87 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I think you should buy Typhus and paint him like the grave wardens you did. I think that would look amazing.

StratoKhan Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I'm really digging this clean-look Death Guard! I also really like the off-black you chose for the Destroyers and Grave Wardens. I'm painting up some Death Guard myself, and I'll also be experimenting with a black destroyer scheme.

40kFSU Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 @Hungry Nostraman Lizard and @StratoKhan thanks, I’m glad you guys are liking the army. @MegaVolt87 yeah I plan to get him and do the black scheme. Just for kicks. I’ve gotten quite a bit done. Assault Squad is up first and I think they look pretty good. I used 40k assault squad bits and they match the Mark VI really well. I also built a Veteran squad, some Apothecaries, and a few Consuls.

Hungry Nostraman Lizard Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Nice stuff. Will you eventually pick up the more dynamic mark 6 assault marines when they come out?

40kFSU Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 @Xenith Thanks Xenith. One can never have too many 30k tanks. @Hungry Nostraman Lizard Short answer is no, not for this army. I like Mark VI but I don’t love Mark VI. I’m really looking forward to the new Mark III and will buy all of them. At some point I’ll probably do a a small allied detachment using them. Maybe Blood Angels or World Eaters. They do look good.

40kFSU Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 Moving right along with a Herald, Chaplain, and Master of Signals. I don’t think I’ve ever seen blue plumes on Death Guard but I think it looks cool.

40kFSU Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 So I got quite a bit done this weekend. They go pretty fast once I get the scheme down. Also finished up a close combat veteran squad and apothecaries.

Brother Sutek Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Assault marines have worked great for me. I field two units of 15 with power swords, sgts with fist. When I can afford I put apothecaries in them but either way I love them.

40kFSU Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Yeah Assault Marines seem like they would be a natural fit for a slow moving army. That way you got some quick strike potential. But I’ve never played a game in my life so I don’t actually know. anyway, Inductii coming right along.

nilsh Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I don't know if I've seen clean Death Guard before but they look great, very crisp painting and the white is especially well painted.

40kFSU Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 @nilsh- thanks man, I appreciate it. I got a few things to post, start with a couple Contemptors. Poor guy with the green leg was an eBay acquisition. Looks like his leg armor is reversed, but I’m sure he can still stomp traitors. These new kits are really nice.
