I am loving the creativity behind your Death Guard. Nurgle has so much scope for conversion and their gribbliness makes it easier to convert and kitbash effectively too! Yours is a nice paintscheme and it's really nice to see some old metals in there. Blight Drones looking awesome too!

I really like your Turnip28 force- please share more pics of them.

Thank you! I MUCH prefer them to the stock models. They're a little more squat, and I think that works in their favour. I can't wait to get painting the second drone!

Thanks so much, mate. I'm getting a real kick out of this army and your feedback keeps my enthusiasm up. So thanks again!

Thank you, you legend. I'm feeling real joy at the community here. It's great to put something weird out into the world and to meet folks who go "This iIS weird, and we LOVE it"

I got a little bit of painting progress for you all. The Deathshroud are done, with the exception of the Champion (who I'm doing separate to concentrate a bit more on him). As you you can see, I've decided to invert the colour scheme on them. I love the look of the black / purple army, but I thought it would be cool to have this one unit standing out as an elite choice. Similar to the Deathwing, in that respect. Plus it's nice to have a change from so much black / purple power armour!




Really enjoying the colour. The rust, the pink mutations and the green slime are just so silly now, and I think it works! When the app updated last week, I thought the champion had his twin gauntlets option removed. But it's there in the codex, so I needed to make sure that was modelled on. Whilst this is a heavily converted army, I do still want consistency and a degree WYSIWYG:


I've got a game on the 7th June. It will be my first game with this force. So I'm pushing to have 850 points painted by then. At this point, finishing the Deathshroud and Typhus will actually be a full 850 point force. For the curious, my roster looks like this:

Typhus
10x Poxwalkers
Foul Blightspawn
5x Plague Marines (Champ w/ Plasma & PF, 2x bolters, 1x Belcher, 1x Spewer, Icon)
Plague Surgeon
5x Plague Marines (Champ w/ Plasma & PF, 2x bolters, 1x Plasma, 1x Blight Launcher, Icon)
6x Deathshroud Terminators (Champ w/ dual gauntlets, Icon)
1x Foetid Bloat-Drone w/ Heavy Blight Launcher

Oooh! The Deathshroud look great in the green, they’ll certainly stand out on the table top! I’ve got to say that I’m pretty jealous of you scooping forgeworld resin so cheap! Was that an eBay bargain!?

A combination! I picked some up on Vinted, some from a mate. I'm always checking FB Marketplace, local charity shops and second hand shops, eBay, Craigslist, local buy and sell groups. I picked up a bag of 20 RT beakies for £10 in a comics shop near me earlier this year for my Sons of Medusa army. Honestly a big part of this hobby is rooting around looking for bargains!

Quick reply with some more updates! First off, I finished the Deathshroud champion. He's darker than the rest, but he's gonna look great leading the unit.


And finally, I've pained my Typhus. Love how he came out. I achieved the dark / black / purple effect exactly as I saw it in my head. I'm really happy with this. Lots more effort on this model, as he's my Warlord.


I really enjoyed all the fine details on the tusks and the fly bodies. The massive Destroyer Hive came out great, too. I think he's going to make a decent HQ for the army


Now, just to base them all and that's 850 points finished!

No worries mate, that's how I roll as well, I'm happy with how my minis turn out but even more hyped up when someone enjoy them as well !

Besides, it shows that you're having a blast your models are amazing and the paint is just as amazing as the sculpts !

Love the vibrant colours especially on those deathshroud terminators. Radically different from what we might be used to see for a death guard army but it does work wonderfully conveying a grotesque and disturbing look while retaining their pus ridden form !

Keep enjoying making them, we'll keep enjoying seeing them !
