Mortis Custodis...Heresy-Era Death Guard!


PlagueBearer

Recommended Posts

I have many things going on now...I also have stuff getting on for CoCIII so I am all hectic and doning many things at once...

Anyway I am almost finished with my 30 Death Guard Marines.Not the ones with the renegade parts but the real deal (the bulky FW ones).

I have finished 2 Rhinos and I am getting 2 Daemon Princes painted and a Plague Tower of Nurgle is being converted and getting ready to carry my troops across the battlefield!!!

I will post pictures in a few days!!!

So these are the photos of my 2 Rhinos.I only have to paint the hatches with the twin linked bolters.

These are the Daemon Princes that I am working on.One of them has already got a devlan mud wash...

And I am also making a Plague Tower of Nurgle...

I had a 4 year old Land Raider that was going for scraps and I thought of making something out of it...What better than mounting a Siege Tower and converting it into a Plague Tower???

So the project has began and I can't wait to finish it off...:huh:

What I did was take off the lid and put it back on the other way round.I cut of the exhaust and the back of the Land Raider and made it look like a Leman Russ chassis...

I cut the exhausts in half and glued them on the sides.

The plague cannon will be connected with 2 pots that contain liquid which will be placed where the front exit doors are on each side.The plague mortar might be modeled from a giant converted to look like a big plauebearer-guo that will hurl chunks of sick matter to the enemy...

All around the tower where it connects with the Land Raider green stuff will be modelled in such way to make it look infested and daemonic.The whole model will get a nice lot of green stuff....

 

 

Here are some photos of the progress....

These will be the front parts of the tower.Specifically the left on will cover the 1st hole in the tower and will have the puss cannon.

The right with the Rhino hatches will be the front doors for the Land Raider.

Love the color and styles of painting! :cuss cant wait to see the Plague tower too...

 

question: do you use like a Matte finish when you are done painting a model to preserve the paint? if not what do you use if anything at all?

Thanks for the comments!!!

I use Satin spray from GW.Then if I want put some gloss on blood stains and anything runny.

The rhinos will get some mud on them which will be glossy.

There will be photos added from my army and the Plague Tower.

Stay tuned!!!

Here is an update on my Plague Tower.

I have made two demolisher cannons that will be added after they are painted.

Gaps and stuff will be closed with green stuff or plasticard.

I am still searching for something to put in the front side doors to make as containers for the plague cannon.I have tried out many stuff but nothing looks good enough. :D

 

Anyway, here are some photos:

The Plague Mortar is under construction.

There will be more plastcard added to the model on the sides as plating and more chaos icons and nurgle symbols added!!!

Where do you find the rules/ stats for a plague tower?

 

-joe-

 

In apocalypse reloaded and on the GWs site.

 

 

bird poop, almost as if every vehicle and troop was stationed on some dank New Jersey beach around a couple hundred seagulls.

 

Lol...

They do look like seagull droppings.

 

Anyway, I am close to finishing my 30 Plague Marines.

I have also started the 2 Daemon Princes I have vowed for CoCIII.

I have also done 4 bikers.

Here are some shots of them:

Very nice work! Followed this thread for a while and it's really inspiring!

 

That siege tower that you're using, is that from GW? Because I thought he one they sold was in metal? Putting it on a LR chassis was a very good idea btw ^^

 

Are you going to put scorch marks on the flamers and melta's?

Thank you very much for your comments!!!

The siege tower is from GW and it is plastic.I read somewhere that they are going to withdraw it too and stop producing it so I went and bought the very last one there was in my local store.

Praise Nurgle!!!

The flamers did get scorch marks and I am going to do the meltas later in the day.After that 26 Plague Marines will be finished and ready to spread the sickness!!!

Only 4 Champions will be left to finish to complete my troops.

Pics will be posted as soon as possible!!!

Thanks again,

I resent that, firstly it's geese poop on the sidewalks, second, it's seagull poop only if you live near the shores, and it's on your car windows, but thats rare.

I wanted some troops with blood on them since killing someone with a chainsword must be messy!!!

I also aded scorch marks on the special weapons.

I dont know if it shows well but I used Matt Finish and added gloss varnish to the areas that shine, like blood, the glass eyes, mud on bases, slime etc...

Looking great, I absolutely love the gore!

 

Thanks!!!

I used a toothbrush and flicked blood red on them.Pretty messy...

I am painting 6 PowerFisted Champions now and the 2 Daemon Princes.

Photos will be added as soon as I get a serious amount of painting done!!!

These are really good.

I love someone else models them just Seige of Terra era too.

They still have the old colors but with all the fun of painting weathering.

Seeing these make me want to start mine up again you have alot of good ideas in your army.

 

One suggestion if I may,

The wings on the deamon princes look off they need some holes and tears in them.

They are nurgle deamons after all.

They undamaged wing looks a bit too close to a Khorne model.

Don't get me wrong they still look great even as is.

Thanks for the feedback and for the wing suggestion!!!

I have seen torn wing on DPs but I stayed away from them since my army is freshly Nurglified....!!!

I do want to do a Daemon Prince with wings but I want to use the Nurgle Daemon Prince.

I am now painting 4 bikers and finallizing the Plague Tower model.

Painting will start soon....
