Hi Dakka,

I've been meaning to document my work (both personal and 'professional' - if clients let me) on here for sometime, sharing any recipes and knowledge (such as it is) along the way.

Recipe Guide

Spoiler:

To start with I have a roughly 1k point basic Death Guard Army in progress for my store - I didn't intend to get an army but it just panned out that way when my brother gave me his Death Guard stuff.

The Army consists of: Lord Felthius and his Tainted Cohort, a Noxious Blightbringer, a Malignant Plaguecaster, 7 Plague Marines w/3xPlasma, 30 Poxwalkers and 2 Bloat-drones.

I decided to go for a more basic level (with the odd bit of flare) and wanted to try and inject a bit of colour into them, using complimenting red tones as well as pink, bright green and light yellow! Please let me know if you think it works or not - I quite like it but I would say that!

Lord Felthius

The Tainted Cohort

Poxwalkers (I couldn't get a decent picture of all 30 of them) - Recipe in Spoiler

Spoiler:

The army painted so far (minus Felthius)

I'm about 50% done with the remaining Plague Marines and Drones and my hope is to have the army finished by the end of the week. I'll share my recipe for the Plague Marines then...I need to go and cook dinner if I can get my dog off me

Thanks for looking

As the Death Guard are ongoing (I stopped to finish off the Custodes and to practice with my new paints) I decided to take the time at the weekend and this morning to try and learn new things.

I've purchased both Angel Giraldez's painting guides and thought I'd give the Ltd Edition Crane Rank a go, substituting the NMM with TMM.

My take home from this mini is to not be afraid of creating high contrasts and to maybe try even thinner glazes and build them up to get a smoother, richer tone. If you're interested I can't recommend Angel's books enough, even if you don't play or paint Infinity. They take a lot of mystery away from his process and many techniques can easily be applied to virtually any model.
