I started getting the Conquest magazine for the Primaris Marines but I could not resist having a go at some Death Guard... The models are a great example of the gifts of Father Nurgle.

 

 

Here is the WIP on the first 2 Plague Marines and a Plague Marine Champion.

 

 

 

 

This is not planned as a new army in my collection but as a change from painting DA and Tau but who knows what may happen

Well good news is death guard is one of the most forgiving factions to paint I feel. The models are all new and full of detail, but with the usual death guard colors and their growths alot of it blends together so little missed details are unnoticeable I find. They look good by the way!

I like em. Good job.

Welcome to the family, you must make the grandfather proud!

Well done, so far. The only thing which I don't like about the Death Guard models are these random spike/ bone-growth things...

Thanks for the welcome Brothers.

 

They are now finished and I will be posting the photos tomorrow.

 

The following paint list is more to keep me on track with my paint scheme as I bounce from army to army so I don't forget but it may help others too.

Take with a grain of salt...

[Tallarn Commander]

Thanks for posting paint recipes! I'll try some of them out.

The first 3 of my Death Guard are done.

 

All hail Grandfather Nurgle and may His gift of pestilence be never ending...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have another 3 in progress - unfortunately the same models but I will try an arm swap so as not to be too boring...

[elmo]

And another 3 Plague Marines done - unfortunately the same poses as the first 3

 

 

 

 

 

And all of them together...

 

 

 

 

 

Next up is a Myphitic Blight-hauler 

[Plague _Lord]

Tis a nice start!

 

What I like to do is add nurgle's rot technical paint to the bases around the feet. It adds nice depth and the feeling that the plague marine's very presence is destructive to the environment.

 

Maybe you could try something like that? I just feel that the bases are a bit too clean if you get me
