Death Guard: Plague Surgeon complete

Despite the busy schedule, completed my next Death Guard unit, the Plague Surgeon, for those much needed boosts to the Disgustingly Resilient rolls.

Quite pleased with how he turned out.

Next I am planning on either doing the Blight Lord Terminators or having a crack at another singular unit.

At least that is the plan, until my copy of Necromunda arrives.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers.

First Death Guard unit complete

I have been busy painting away at the Death Guard, and revisiting the Old World in Total War Warhammer 1 and 2.

But I am glad to have finished one unit. Here it is.

I am very pleased with how they turned out. Not so much with the yellow plasma OSL, but they are painted and I will not touch them again till it is all done.

I have bought everything for my Death Guard, except Mortarion. So when I get him, I will have 2000pts straight up. Though for once, I am only planning on getting 2000pts, and no more for the Death Guard.

Next up is a Plague Surgeon, which should be an easy elite to paint, and I do want to tackle my Blight Lord Terminators, as I am happy with the slight conversions I have done on them.

Still haven't had my second game with the DG, but hoping that once work dies down, it will happen.

I also have on the way, the new Necromunda. I am super pumped for it, so I will add my progress on that when it arrives.

As always, thanks for looking.

Cheers.

Back into the swing of things...

Well, hobby time has been inconsistent, mainly due to work and family commitments, but I finally have something to show. With the start of 8th edition, and coupled with the release of the new Death Guard, I thought I would start a force.

This contrasts rather nicely as my friend is starting a Minotaurs army, and due to the fluff in the DG book about them raiding the Minotaurs fortress monastery and tainting their gene stocks, I think that makes for a rather nice incentive for a campaign!

So I have decided on a scheme and I went for a corrupted and corroded heresy Death Guard scheme. I essentially used these YouTube videos form Brush and Boltgun to help paint them.

And here are my efforts.

 

I think they look the part! I still have 4 more of the squad to complete, but am hoping the going gets easier as I get more familiar with the scheme.

I have also managed to get in a game with the new DG, and I must say, they are tough! I do like that Disgustingly Resilient and high toughness, though they are very slow. I am hoping to at least finish this squad and my Malignant Plaguecaster, as they were the standout units from my last game, especially that Plaguecaster.

Thanks for looking.
