40k 8th Edition Projects Death Guard and Nurgle: Fully painted and ready to rot! Part 4

Finally I have a fully painted 2k points worth of Death Guard I can field! Was a long haul but I got these chaps done just before an event this weekend, I still have to do all the shading and highlights on the purple flesh on everything but at least the force is table ready.

I smashed up a quick Daemon Price conversion with the addition of a plague drone head and wings as well as shaving off the tubes of his shoulders.  Was heaps of fun to paint and the skin is just a couple of shades of grey and purple drybrushes with some purple washes.

I desperately needed a Chaos Lord to baby sit my Plagueburst Crawlers and this little dude did the job marvelously.  The model is just form the first blood kit with a Plague Bearer head. Had lots of fun making up this guy.

 Mortarion is about 90% complete in these pics, but definatly table worthy. His smoke stacks and scythe are the bit that need the most attention and probably his attendants as well. I will try and finish him off soon hopefully. He is a monster to paint but very rewarding, now I just need to do up some Deathshroud bodyguards and a warptime jumpack sorcerer for him too!

 So there you have it, another completed force but its only about 30% of what I want completed for the entire force! I really want to be able to paint up just about everything Nurgle so I can run whatever configuration easily, if only Games Workshop would release the Miphitic Crawelers already!!!

40k 8th Edition Projects Death Guard and Nurgle: Tanks for the Tank God! part 3

With an event looming the worst thing to do would be add more to the painting 'to do" pile right? so that is exactly what I did! Got a 2000pt torny upcoming next weekend and most of the army still to finish painting so I went out and purchased two of the new Plagueburst Crawler Death Guard tanks like a spaz. I'm not looking to do well or win much at the event I just wanted to rock up and have some games with the models I had painted on hand, especially since I am really keen on eventually running a pox walker and cultist horde army backed up by waves of Plague Marines getting cover off Miphitic Blight Haulers that aren't even out yet (sadface)

I really enjoyed assembling and painting this kit, it was a dream to put together and the armor and trim of the tank complimented my lazy painting style for this army immensely. I did the usual trick of basing black followed by a couple of zenith highlights of yellow with an airbrush, dry brushing the raised edges and details bright yellow and then drowning it all in green wash.

These two pics are before the tidy up and weathering was complete, I probably need to go back and smash out alot more fine details but time is short on getting this army table worthy before the event.

Also taking Morty as well just even though i don't have his delivery units or protection bros converted up and painted yet, but damn it he is like just under 500pts I have pretty much painted at this point and even if he gets shot up at least he will look cool doing it. Morty isn't finished yet but as you can see he has come along much further than my last blog update, will base him up this week and try and finish his attendants off as well.

Will try and take as many pics as possible of the event, apparently about 60 players are attending so should be a wild ride.
