Just working on the chap. I got hope early from football today and thought I'd have a go at a Death Guard scheme and got totally carried away by it. Hope you like him.

I've got his bolter base coated and I'll have to leave the PVA on the base to dry overnight, but hopefully I'll get him finished tomorrow.

 

 

 

 

Hah, I knew it -- it just seemed too obvious an oversight :wink:

 

Absolutely fantastic, once again. And it's the group pictures of three different legionaries at the bottom that I always enjoy the most :smile.:

All over it bro! Hopefully the Death Guard will be finished tomorrow and I'll make sure I take some more group pictures.

 

He better be careful there's an Alpha Legionnaire under his feet.

Hahaha, infiltration gone wrong... :P

 

That White Scar is uttlerly amazing!
How did you reposition the right arm? Did you cut it at the shoulder joint?

Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work.

Thanks a lot bro! Yeah, the arm is just cut below the should and then glued back on.

 

Cool stuff. I'm looking forward to the III. Legion Shield Bearers.

Thanks, bro! I'm just experimenting with some poses for the breachers now.

 

 

This is truly inspirational! Love the group shot most of all, the combination of all three color schemes together really pops!

 

Thanks a lot dude! Hopefully I'll have some more group shots up tomorrow.

 

You can see this White Scar spent more time sallying out than protecting the battlements - he's got a much less weathered armor. :tongue.:

 

Lovely painting and conversion.

Hahaha, you can't hit what you can't catch. Hit and run warfare is much more friendly on the laundry bill than siege work.

 

Great groupshot, the white scar looks amazing.

Thanks, bro!

 

An awesome White Scar! Great inspiration for me as I am preparing to paint some 40k Scars myself. Excellent job.

Thanks, mate! Good luck with your White Scars!

 

Fantastic job! (As always) I've lurked this thread for a long time and it never fails to deliver!

 

I think you've mentioned the idea before, but have you given any more thought to a more weathered Emperor's Children model? Not so much as an addition to your EC force, but something to go with these other legion models?

Thank, dude! I'm actually planing to do an Emperor's Child next. I'm just trying to decide which bits to use etc.

 

Fantastic white scar, dude. He's among the best you did (after the Night Lord and the Imperial Fist of course :wink: ) Glad the top knot is back. :thumbsup:

Thanks, bro! And thanks for the kind words on FB. The topknot is definitely back.

 

Do scars, do them now

Hahaha, I actually really enjoyed painting the Scar. I'll probably do another one at some stage, but I'm not sure about a whole army. I'll have to wait and see what the FW minis are like.

 

Gah! You keep on delivering! I love the white scar.

Thanks, bro! Hope I deliver with the Death Guard too.

 

That Scar! That trio! *Foaming mouth*

Haha, glad you like them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

I thought that I'd add some more group pics because people seem to like them.

Oh great looking battle damage on that death guard. How did you paint the armour? With washes or layering?

Thanks, bro! The armour is painted with washes and sponging. I took some step by step pics while I was painting so as soon as I get some time I'll do a write up and post the pics.

 

That Death Guard is phenomenal.

Thanks a lot, mate!

 

The Death Guard Marine is awesome! Imo perfect weathering, clearly dented and scratched Armor, subtle discoloration and dirt, love it!

Oh and your Defenders of Tera Marines look awesome too! :smile.:

Thanks a lot! I hope you like weathering powder that I added. Hopefully it's not too much.

 

FINALLY!!! Oh man, it is a glorious day when you finally represent the best Legion!

Hahaha, I'd been planning to paint a Death Guard warrior for ages but never got around to doing it until now. I hope he meets your expectations.

 

Mate I love the thread as a whole but I love that white scar you've painted

Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you like the White Scar.

 

So much win throughout this entire thread! Love your Death Guard model as well!

Thanks a lot bro! Glad you like him.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

Once again, fantastic stuff! And yes, those group pictures are indeed very much appreciated! :)

 

On a related note, have you ever trued to send these to WD? Because when I saw that spread of Mk IV Marines in different legion colours in the last issue of Visions, I couldn't help thinking: These are okay, but they should really have used kizzdougs' models because they are so much cooler! ;)

You've surpassed them, man... definitely top notch. You make me feel like a kid with crayons. I love that green as well, definitely eye catching!

Alright, first up let me apologies for the poor quality of the photos that I took. My regular painting lamp broke just before I started work on the Death Guard legionnaire so I had to use my reading lamp instead. Unfortunately my reading lamp gives off a fairly yellowish light which is great for reading, but terrible for taking pictures of miniatures. So I apologise for the discolouration in the photos...

 

 

 

I started off with an undercoat of Games Workshop's Corax White spray.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4127_zps96tqun3g.jpg

 

Next up I gave the armour a wash with Seraphim Sepia. I concentrated the wash in the joints and around rivets etc.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4128_zpsiqfcrgdy.jpg

 

I followed this by sponging on a 1/1 mix of Screaming Skull and White Scar. This stage was done fairly freely and I wasn't too worried about mistakes at this stage.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4129_zpsfkraanf8.jpg

 

I then 'black lined' the armour with the ever faithful Agrax Earthshade. This stage isn't essential, but it helps to add a bit of definition to the armour.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4130_zpssokyeuhz.jpg

 

Next up I painted Abaddon Black on all the areas that where going to be painted with a metallic colour.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4131_zps7yqe1tvp.jpg

 

The shoulder pads were painted with Waaaagh! Flesh.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4132_zpslf2ldnvn.jpg

 

The shoulder pads where then washed with Agrax Earthshade.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4132_zpslf2ldnvn.jpg

 

Next I sponged some Snot Green (Warpstone Glow equivalent) onto the pads. 

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4134_zpsnvktixpu.jpg

 

I then painted Ironbreaker and Gehenna's Gold onto the areas that had previously been painted black.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4134_zpsnvktixpu.jpg

 

I then washed both colours with Agrax Earthshade. Usually I don't use Earthshade on silver/steel colours, but it seemed appropriate for the XIV Legion.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4138_zpsxlbjgvz7.jpg

 

The Ironbreaker was then washed with Nuln Oil.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4139_zps6ixvzfw2.jpg

 

I then highlighted both the Ironbreaker and Gehenna's Gold with Runefang Steel. I also painted the eye slit with Khorne Red.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4139_zps6ixvzfw2.jpg

 

The eye slit was then highlighted with Blood Red (Evil Sunz Scarlet equivalent).

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4143_zps4staqsnx.jpg

 

I then painted a thin line of Blood Red around the edge of the helmet's vision slit. I also painted the freehand on the shoulder pads using a 2/1 mix of White Scar and Screaming Skull. Any mistakes were corrected using the original base colour ie Waaagh! Flesh.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4147_zpsbd870j1j.jpg

 

The tactical symbol on the knee pad was painted with Waaagh! Flesh.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4148_zpsxdmwlott.jpg

 

I then sponged some Abaddon Black over the freehand. This stage can be used to obscure any mistakes or problems with the freehand.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4149_zpsap4rr9jf.jpg

 

I used the White Scar/Screaming Skull mix to weather the freehand on the knee pad.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4150_zpsgqxv94w4.jpg

 

The last step was to highlight the armour with White Scar.

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4151_zpsxsq5fx9p.jpg

 

 

 

 

 

Glad you're doing a step by step for the DG :wink:

Thanks, bro. Hope you enjoy it.

 

Only seven more to go before you have the whole eighteen legions. :tongue.:

 

He looks good; I love the little skull on his base.

Hahaha, yeah getting there slowly. 

 

Once again, fantastic stuff! And yes, those group pictures are indeed very much appreciated! :smile.:

 

On a related note, have you ever trued to send these to WD? Because when I saw that spread of Mk IV Marines in different legion colours in the last issue of Visions, I couldn't help thinking: These are okay, but they should really have used kizzdougs' models because they are so much cooler! :wink:

Thanks, dude! No, I've never sent any pictures to the WD team. I've considered it before, but never got around to doing it. I'll definitely consider it when I've painted one of each of the Legions.

 

Fabulous work on the group as a whole, Kizzdougs. Tempted to take a crack at older depictions of the Legions? Y'know, like the Saturnyne Rams (aka early Salamanders), the Imperial Heralds and the War Hounds?

Thanks, bro! I haven't really thought about early Legion depictions yet. I'll definitely have to think about it, but it probably won't happen until I've painted each of the 'regular' schemes first.

 

They all look beautiful man, looking forward to the step by step for the Death Guard! 

Thanks, mate! Hope you like the step by step.

 

Amazing work as always Kizz. Would love to see your take on the first legion.

Thanks, bro! Don't worry, the 1st Legion will get it's time in the sun.

 

The Death Guard better why out there's an eversor underneath him.....

I could do this all day

Your step by step guide is a real master class in simple techniques that give amazing results. I hope to see you do a few more guides like this. I'm sure you've inspired quite a few people to have a go.
