Man, you did a straight up amazing job on those Death Guard! I don't want to seem like spam, but that's really all I can say, it's just that impressive! Were those beads something you added? They look good.

Thanks for stopping by!
Seems this thread made it to page 4, so that naturally calls for more pics. Well, i don't have any
Not much progress lately...

The studs/beads were part of the model on the Contemptor
I added them on the Deredeo, those are some lead beads a dude sells on eBay to weight down the bases of models. Nothing too fancy, really

This is great! I love seeing the steps that show how you approach the project.

Thanks kestral, appreciated!

A bit more work has been done today. Both for Death Guard and Mechanicus, so feel free to stop by over there as well

The verdigris has been applied on the Contemptor, and on the pod as well - thus getting it to a 100% finished state.


Magnets added to the base - a bit more painting needs to be done to look all good. Pod can therefore be set on the base straight, or at an angle, to simulate a failed landing


And the Pod




Also, while at an angle, the Sergeant door can open and perfectly touch the table (the rest of door will remain suspended).


That's it for now!
As usual, comments, ideas, objections and cakes are most welcome

Right, everyone. More work on the Contemptor, but really very little time to paint lately





All that's left at this point is to add some blood on the claw, to add some heavy rust/pigments in a few places and seal it. Then some grass tufts on the base and all wrapped up. But with current weather, i doubt sealing will be possible anytime soon (read: anytime this year)

Next update will probably show some progress on the Wardens. Till then, throw critics
ciuncky out

Looks fantastic. Love the highlighting touches on the green plates on the back of the legs.

Thanks Gits. I got inspired by Phutarf's version, but my skills didn't keep up. His is absolutely stunning, but then again he spent more time than i'd have in a year

This hobby ain't for those short on time, is it?

That's for certain!

Base looks great on that Contemptor, what did you use for the grate on it?

I concur about time, I get maybe 30 minutes in the morning before work and 30 mins-1 hour after and anytime in the middle of the night I cannot sleep.

The grid was done by using some plastic sewing canvas. Heated a bit to keep in position the broken piece.

It is fairly thick / small empty areas, so it works best on 40mm bases and up. On 25mm it obscures too much

Hope this helps mate

Right guys, a bit of sun so i managed to put a bot of rush, seal under a layer of gloss, do a few oil streaks, more rust and sea with matte.

Blood will follow on the claw and then pics added to the Completed thread





Cheers,

He looks fantastic. You're really bringin' it ciuncky!

Aaww yes, he's looking amazing, the additional work really brings out the deathguard in him

Dread looks ace, really dinamic pose. Great basing, too!

Great work. I'm really loving all of this quality Death Guard stuff recently.

Many thanks guys, i feel i need to take a break from the Guard for a while. I've been working on it for the past half a year or so and the Mechanicus really help with distraction.
I'll post an update here as soon as i get the nice pics done for the Contemptor, Drop Pod and Deredeo (after i finish for the 5th time his head).

Feel free to stop by and wonder on the tin man thread

Pretty awesome work there! That contemptor is a beast!

I love the impact crater base on that drop pod. The contemptor looks great, too.
