Death Guard WIP (May 2 - more Defiler paintwork)

[codyrstuart]

Sweet baby Emperor, that is awesome...

[Isengrin]

Fantastic! The new face is indeed an improvement over the original one, which looks a bit too goofy for my taste.

 

My only nitpick is the length of the blade. I think it would look better, if it were shorter.

[Vairocanum]

Wow superb GS work as usual. Its amazing how you can make every model so characterful (even the rhino haha). Good luck with your new job too!

[Dorn Lysander]

These miniatures are absolutely phenomenal, I love the aesthetic you've managed to achieve, the sculpting creates some really unique miniatures, and I love the almost dry looking green, it's amazing!

[Svartmetall]

All build work finished on Yersinis:

...painting work has begun :)

[Carrick]

Svartmetall your work with Green Stuff is insanely good. It just totally blows me away what you are able to create.

[Thousand Eyes]

Great work as ever Svart, can't wait until you get some paint on that thing.

[Svartmetall]

And here he is, basecoated:

Wonderful stuff and great to see some colour on him, but I think you are missing some of the flesh around the back of the left shoulder?

[Spikedhalo]

Wow, amazing GS work!!! So detailed...

[Svartmetall]

Yeah, I totally missed that; only spotted it late last night way after I'd posted the pics. Will get sported this evening. 

[Vairocanum]

Man the DP is gonna look great painted up, the guts are gonna be so gross (in a good way) if they'll be painted anything like the rhino mouth. Can't wait to see the next update.

[Andvarr A]

It's big, squishy and green! Definitely an improvement on the stock derp marshmallow face, making it an awesome whatsit with a face only papa nurgle would love!

 

Can't wait till the flesh goes proper gloop

[Kizzdougs]

Incredible Daemon Prince! The sculpting is excellent :tu:

[DaBoiKyknos]

Probabyl a little late to the party but: Nice greenstuffing, that demonprince looks great!

And - I never thought I would say this, but- that Hellbrute is awesome, too! :)

[Svartmetall]

Bit more progress:

[Andvarr A]

Nice paints, it's bringing out the head details exceptional!

 

Kinda reminds me of the birkin transformation in resident evil 2 with the face. Certainly an improvement over the original baron harkonen wannabe

[Svartmetall]

To be fair, if I'd just sculpted a paper bag over its head that would still have been an improvement over GW's original sculpt :D

[Teetengee]

I'm enjoying the fact that the closer I try to figure out what is going on with his head, the more my head hurts. Chaos well done there.

[Svartmetall]

Based, and with more highlighting done:

I didn't get him finished in time for Dreadtober, which I've been beating myself up about, but on the positive side I now have a game-ready Daemon Prince, which I've never had before. And it's made me more keen to get the other two DPoNs I have sat around, barely started, to the same state of readiness.

 

 

Oh, and this is what happens when you give some of your Nurglings tins of paint and tell them to cover up all the red on that Word Bearers Rhino you captured a while back...they drank half the bloody paint before it even got to the Rhino:

Success! :D

If a jobs worth doing...

 

Edit: it's awesome to see the DPoN come more to life than ever. It will be suitably gribbly when it's finished

[The_son_of_Dorn]

Are you Black Legion? Because you just stole all my like's for today! 

[Mister Feral]

The sculpting work is as disturbingly detailed and creative as I remember from your models past.

 

The different greens on the Rhino merge together really nicely. Since it was "acquired" from its previous Word Bearer occupants, perhaps some of the original crimson colour could peek through where the Nurglings missed a spot (or through wear and tear)?

[Thousand Eyes]

Looking forward to seeing him all painted up Svart.
