Before reading the excellent Horus Heresy Novel “Flight of the the Eisenstein” I always disliked the Death Guard.
To be honest the whole Chaos gods - and the Lord of Decay in particular - idea of 40K is not appealing at all to me. The Horus Heresy books changed that a lot.
I really liked the way Garro acted and even more in the following short stories centred on him.


Mortarion is the third Forge World Primarch I painted. I took some extra time painting him, but the dirtiness of the Death Guard made it a bit less challenging as painting a cleaner Legion, let’s say the Emperors Children’s Fulgrim.
Overall a fun mini to paint, only the resin work is as painful as always.
I changed the colours a bit, most people paint the 30K Mortarion with a dirty white Robe, I wanted a darker look on his way to the dark goods.
So dark grey hood and robe. I even took a hint from the painting techniques of the great Ana Polanšćak and sprinkled some white dots on the mini!


While working on Mortarion I remembered that I also have the Tyhon mini lying around, so I build him also and batch painted both in one run, the colours were just the same.

Nathaniel Garro wearing a mixture of Mk II and IV armour and his sword libertas. Some info on the rebased mini: it is of course based on the SM mini from the Master of the Chapter box. Since the PF would be not fitting and Garro often wears Mk IV armour I used a suitable hand and helmet. I then added an Aquila to a MkIV backpack and repositioned the head. The idea is to have him wear a prototype armour.


The first half squad rebased to the current 32mm bases.

Some new pics of older models!

Eisenstein Coverboy
The mini below is my attempt to convert a Marine with the look of the Marine from the “Flight of the Eisenstein” novel cover.


A Contemptor Dreadnought with Meltagun and Powerfist. The Melta and Fist are fully magnetised and the shoulder part is pinned and movable to make weapon swaps possible.


Next painted model, a Deimos pattern Predator tank, armed with Autocannon and sponson mounted Lascannons. The Lascannons are fully magnetised to make swaps with Heavy Bolters possible.
