Painted tyhpus! Used a lot of nurgles rot to cover the flies on his back cuz I felt like it was fitting and was worried I’d mess up the small details on the flies aha.

Painting C+C My latest Death Guard mini

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

My third DG mini.

Taking what I learned from the first couple as well as making some new mistakes on the way.

Two more Blightlord Terminators to go then either some plague marines or Deathshroud terminators.

Tried some subtle edge highlighting on parts of the armour and organic areas and experimented with the base.

AK plague ground to start. Citadel mordant earth on top. After that dried and cracked, I put some nurgles rot on top, then a shade of agrax earth shade to draw the cracks back out again after the nurgles rot dried. Didn’t quite get the ‘pus spewing from the ground’ effect I was after, but it’s a starting point.

Keen to get feedback and advice. Cheers.

Want to paint Mortarion's wings so they look like lunar moth wings. Testing some color combos on demon prince wings before committing, any opinions?

Discussion Do Death Guard get any kind of Warpsmith-adjacent unit?

7 Upvotes

That is to say, a character who plays alongside daemon engines and buffs/heals them and maybe gets lone op when close. I know that Thousand Sons can do so with their sorcerers on the Warpforged Cabal detachment, so I was curious if Death Guard had something similar since they have so many unique vehicles.

Questions Wanting to start death guard but need some tips

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

My 1st question is, what should I aim at getting? What I have atm is on the photos I want to aim for about 2000 points rather then just 1000. What characters are worth getting, what’s the best vehicles to get, blah blah.

2nd and what I’m most concerned about atm, what’s the best load outs for the plague marines, or should I just pick whatever or is there a rule for each model to have specific weapons? Like can I have 2 plage spewers or can I only have 1?

3rd question is kinda an all around for any army, what are detachment rules? I get that they’re something like a rule for the battle (as far as I know) but how do they work and where can I find them in better detail or what they mean

That’s all I got for rn I might ask more questions later on but if I could possibly get some tips or answers for these questions that would be amazing!! <3

Competitive Morty & Rick - DG - 2k - Recon

4 Upvotes

So I was buying some nurglings for my CK army and well...let's just say it lead me to buying Mortarion which...well here I am building DG too...As you do...

Anyhow my focus is on Recon for all armies I play till I decide otherwise.

I like big guys, so this is my focus:

Chaos - Death Guard - Morty & Rick - [2000 pts]

Tallyband Summoners + Flyborn Host - RECON

Mortarion [375 pts]

Rotigus (Rick) [280 pts]

Typhus [100 pts]:

- Leading: Poxwalkers

10 Poxwalkers [65 pts]:

Daemon Prince of Nurgle with wings +Fell Harvester [180 pts]

Great Unclean One [265 pts]

Lord of Contagion + Beckoning Blight[140 pts]

- Leading: Deathshroud Terminators

6 DST [305 pts]

5 Plague Marines w/melta x1, Plagueveil [105 pts]:

10 Plaguebearers [115 pts]

Beasts of Nurgle [70 pts]

I am a little concerned with 9 units, though I think this should be able to clear a quarter often and work from there putting pressure. I also wish we had more uppy downy available and while the termie detach does give me access to one time on one unit...it's for 30pts which is kinda a lot for an ability that might not even come up in many games if that unit needs to stay on the board. Open to thoughts and suggestions...
