Hello budies!
Hope you remember the DP I was working on, cause he got comrades! If my day by day let's me keep up this thread updated I'll try my best. I have decided to try finishing this project by 06th January, and if I can make it I'll buy a Great unclean one from FW as a price... These are some members from the first squad of the DG army I collected on august. After all the assembling and GSing here are the first results: (Colours may not completely match the real ones, sorry  )      And this is the sergeant from the squad, he is just GStuffed. I'd like you to choose between the right arm position. Up or down?       More to come... Cheers!

These are very nice models Albreck! Great job on the painting
 My vote is for the arm to face up, flows better with the model IMO.

I would say down. Realisticly, that's the most likely, test it out for yourself, it's just a more ergonomic position. Either way looks equally good but for realism I'd go for down.

 Incredible...They are so nice man. I think I'm going to steal some ideas if you don't mind? They're some of the nicest conversions for Deathguard I've seen IMHO. Not too over the top, not too un-nurgley. Niceeeeee.

The champion is wonderful. Much the way I would invision the followers of nurgle, not uber bloated ugly pieces of crap. Nice simple changes, that still give the impression of disease and decay.

The converted back packs are very exclusive, looking good there, and the eyes on that helmet are very cool.

And as for your question, it depends on how you want your squad to look/feel.
If they're charging at the enemy (or want them to seem as) then keep the arm up, but if they're lumbering across the battlefield spreading plague and stuff, put it down.

wOw! Great Stuff man. Really nice paintjobs. Its not a common to have good gs and paintjobs in the minature world. Most members gravitate to one or the other. But you've done very well with both.
Nice menacing and ancient looking with alot of well executed details. really cool. I'll be watching for more stuff

Hey dudes! I'm glad you like this guards, your words encourage me to keep on working them,thanks again. Today I bring you a minor update: the begin of a step by step. Three steps for now:
1st step: Spray Black basecoat  2nd step: Paint with 50%Knarloc green (from foundation paintset) + 50%Black  3rd step: Here I gently drybrushed the mini with Knarloc green.  So this is for now... More to come! Cheers! Alberto -------------------- I can see what you see not

Ok, first termi is almost done, only thing left is the head. Here are some pics:
   Do you find the hanging chainmail weird or anything? I'd love to hear anything about it. Please be critic! Cheers! Alberto -------------------- I can see what you see not

I think it looks fine, it'll be under bloated guts anyway, just paint it kinda rusty.
He looks like he's been modelled from a very familiar friend of mine, think it starts with a T, and he carries a big ass Scythe.

IMHO the chainmail looks weird because the lower part of it gets too much ligth in that picture.
Once you get it painted will look much better and the tricky effect will go away. Eager to see more pics, buddy! -------------------- Forging inside the Fang

Hehe, I modelled the belly almost exactly as Typhus' cause I love the sculpting. They are even going to wear Typhus helm, with lil' changes, i.e.: no horn for regular termis but little Nurgle icon on the forehead of the helm (yes, that's the only change, haha) and maybe some tubes. Thanks for the comments dudes! Stay on tune for more updates. Alberto -------------------- I can see what you see not

Awesome, He'll look quite different from typhus when he's done I think, Typhus' legs are oddly wide apart, but it looks good anyway.

Extra! Extra! The bad bloated boys got their heads!
    Here is the beginning of the 3rd termi. His belly is done, now i'm working on his head, and nurglishtuffing the armour left. This one will show his human, death, or even sick head.    And last but not least, a little update on my DP:    And a size comparisson:  Hope you like them. I would love to hear any criticism or comment. Thanks, Alberto -------------------- I can see what you see not
