Hi Dakka!

I got inspired and decided to start a Death Guard army to work on alongside my Alcatran IG army.

Unlike my Alcatran army however, this army will be more focused on overall quality and less about getting models painted fast. No quickshade allowed!

I envisioned this army to be be an elite, low model count plague marine army. I am going to try and make it semi-competitive while keeping it pretty fluffy. I am going with a heresy era color scheme... white and green while keeping the later Death Guard's level of corruption.
Something like this!:



The first model I wanted to work on is my Demon Prince. He is going to have wings and warptime and be a kind of standard CC monster. Rather than use wings I wanted to do something like a heresy era jump pack however. To that end I decided to go with a set of turbines from an A-10 Warthog Snap-Tight kit. I will be cutting it down to size and sculpting green stuff to make it meld into his back. My model will start with the standard Demon Prince of Nurgle model and build from there.




I also wanted to redo the head extensively. I am not a big fan of the stock head and I wanted to do a sort of gas mask on the model. Something demonic looking and connected to a barrel of Emperor knows what on his back. The head will look something like this with more cables and tech/steampunk parts.

The tools I will use to start are below.






Bases are resin cast "Infected" bases from Dark Art Miniatures http://www.darkartminiatures.com/
Pretty sweet. Fast shipping to the US. They look nice.

I am going to get started! I hope to have more WIP shots as I keep going.

The engines are clearly way to big for the model... amirite?



I am thinking of cutting them here. I like their diameter but the are too long.



Hmm... I dont have a power saw or even a good cutting guide. Jeweler's saw may have to do.

Update. assembled the demon prince part way, pinned and glued into place the torso and legs. Molded greenstuff onto the top where the engines will connect.




I attached the engines....



Then some more greenstuff. I am going for a look of tentacles/veins holding the engines to his back.



A LOT more greenstuff work to do and some guitar wire and other bits, but it is starting to look like something...

I see promise in you.

I would crack the turbines. They look to pristine for Papa.

Oh yes... they will be nice and weathered, beat up, and rusted. Just the way papa Nurgle likes it.

heresy era death gaurd were awsome! keep up the good work!
