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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

@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. 

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- 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.
