small piece i want to present at a modeling event in october... thoughts?

Nice work. Will you be adding decals/freehand anywhere to break up the armour?

Otherwise the only issues I can see are some mouldlines and what looks like a bent Man Reaper, but I'm not sure how to fix either of those without damaging the paint job.

im too idiotic to add freehand... maybe if i can find some fair decals i might add those, and yea, i tried sorting the manreaper pre-paint but couldnt get much done.... i'm not too upset with it though...

which moldline¿? i seem to be blind to it

The only thing that would make this cooler is if it were mounted in a bigger block of scenery. By itself it looks a little bit incomplete, but if it were mounted in some ruins or something it'd be absolutely epic.

Bang up job with the painting and modelling itself though.

Edit: Looking at it, if you made where they're standing the peak of a small rocky outcrop with a few more bodies spilling down the sides, maybe a few EC climbing up to meet their deaths, it would look like an epic last stand. I realize I might be stretching here, but my minds eye is making up all sorts of scenarios for these two Deathguard haha.

considering the amount of blood, it seems odd that they have none splattered on their armour. id add a backback to cover that bump too.

glad you liked it, i'll try and set something on a more basey thing, the actual base of the deathguards is magnetized so the minis themselves are detachable to play with

yep trying to get my hands on a 30k Backpack.... idk what i did to it =/ as far as the blood goes, i didnt want to saturate the deathguards went more for like clean cuts and leave the enemy hemorrhaging to around to the bitter end

i know what youre saying mate, but if youre hacking dudes up youre going to get blood on you. im not saying go world eaters and totally cover them, but a few flecks up their arms and on their breastplates would tie it together nicely and make it look less like theyve accidentally waded into a mass of bleeding corpses

Possibly blood splatters on the guys still standing

Yeah, the backpack nub bothers me too!
It's a bit of behind the scenes stuff that is rarely, if ever, shown.
I'd certainly clip it off and replace it with some kind or circular locator lug, sprocket or something and a few wires if you can't find any backpacks.

Good job.
