hauteclere Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Hello and thank you for looking. I wanted to start a thread to document the building of my Death Guard Legion set during the Horus Heresy. I have been a huge fan of the setting since reading about it in the 40k 2nd edition Chaos Codex. The harrowing tale of the once noble & stalwart Death Guard marines succumbing to the sick & twisted pestilence of Nurgle just captivated me and I have been a fan of them ever since. Some of these first images are from my heresy30k invisionzone thread which I will recreate here. I welcome any comments or crits you might have.

It's first step is usually gloss coat, then burnt umber, sienna, and yellow ochre oil wash. Once those are done and the models on bases are mostly finished I use the weathering powers with the same colors to complete the look. I have really been liking how the Cult of Paint on YouTube weather their models and it's my attempt at what they do.

hauteclere Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 (edited) A Chaplain with scythe conversion from an old Ork chainsaw or was that Khorne? Either way it made the crozius fit into the DG theme better.

Naryn Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Okay I can't believe no one commented on that crozius-scythe! What a brilliant use of that bit, I'm in love with it. I was also really impressed by the paint chipping on your retro Plague Marines for Darren Latham's competition. Looks so rusty and gummed up, outstanding execution.

hauteclere Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 Did some oil wash work over lunch to get these guys a little more grimey as the recessed areas of the armor especially around the neck and backs were far too white. Big man Looks like he has got his tongue out. Neener Neener you can't make me take a bath.
