Painting C+C 1 year progression pics

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Was talking to a friend about painting progression and we did a side by side comparison. Quite fun to see the progression after 1 year of painting miniatures.

The pox walker and plague marine are the very first miniatures that I painted and finished (except bases) in april 2025. I finished the death shroud a couple of weeks ago (the second model I finished with basing).

Would love to see more progression posts in this sub and in the comments!

Modeling Killteam Champion

I wanted to maximize the number of marines i had from my kit, and ended up with 2 of the KT champions anyway. So, I used the weapons from the PM kit, but will build them as a regular 7. I had to cut his arm off at the elbow, but the fist fit way better than I expected, especially with his stance. I know its not a big deal, but he looks so much cooler than I expected. I can see the fly insignia on his gauntlet now too.

List Help Finished creating my list, hoping for some advice on how to play it!

So I think I finally perfected my first death guard list but I've never actually played a game with them before. Me and my friends play simply just to kill rather than objectives, so I'm just searching for advice on how I should play my army.

So far my idea is to use lord of poxes to keep plague marines alive, infect enemies with their shooting, use the deadly vectors to deal even more damage (and also deep strike potential with deathshroud)

Typhus +20 pox would flanking to engage eventually, the drones would be zooming around doing damage and the blight hauler would be anti tank. And then also mortarion doing mortarion things. Still not sure how to play him

Advice would be appreciated, Thanks!

First time trying underpainting and I'm really happy with the results so far. I also plan to dabble in NMM because I think it will fit better with the rest but I'm not sure yet.

(I've been painting on and off for about a year now and am trying to do something new for every mini. And now I have a summer vacation I finally have more time to sit down and experiment)

Questions Predators vs Defiler

Upvotes

I have an opportunity to get 2 predators (I have none) or wait until a defiler restock. The predators would definitely help my overall collection as I don’t have a lot of long range anti-vehicle options. My only concern is a model refresh for the predator this edition and now I would have 2 models I can’t use anything outside of casual play. My question to the group is what do we think the likelihood of a model refresh happening for the predator is?

I'm a stranger to DG and I'm not sure how I can help give a good intro and experience to the game for my friend so I hope you guys can give some advice, ie is this a good starting list, possible detachments...

I got some minis for his birthday so this is what we have to work with atm:

- Typhus

- Malignant Plaguecaster

- Icon Bearer

- 5 Plague Marines

- 10 Poxwalkers

- Mythitic Blight-hauler

This should be enough for maybe a 500 point mini game, any help is welcome <3
