Topic: My Death Guard Paint-Scheme

[Antiphonus]

Hey y'all, I went home for Thanksgiving break and finally had time to paint!

I decided to try out a scheme for my death guard, and ended up with this. It's painted on a regular CSM, but I think I'll convert him into a Plague Champion or something.

I would really appreciate it if you guys give me advice/criticism on my painting abilities. I'm nowhere near an accomplished veteran, and this was my first time working on layering/blending/and highliting. As such, I'd like to know what I can do better.

Also, I apologize for the lighting... and that this model isn't finished. I had to go back to school and this is as far as I got. Still, I don't know why I wasn't painting the feet... oh well!

Well, there you have it. Let me know what you think! (Also, please let me know if the images are too large.)

[Raktra (So long, I guess)]

Very nice. Clean and crisp, with a retro feel to it.

Pre Heresy kudos to you

[Antiphonus]

Thanks! I was really going for that- a sort of Chaosey pre-heresy blend. As if the death guard were still using their old armor.

well its quite nice, how long did he take you?

I like the look but doesn't scream Death Guard to me but if you are going for the "just turned" look it works.

It took me I think about 4-5 hours. Problem is that this was my first time working on highlights and blending, so I probably spent a lot more time than I needed to. Also, I had to play around to come up with the right paint mixtures.

well, I am! haha. I just wanted to try something different than the typical Death Guard look. And when I paint my actual Death Guard models, there should be some more Nurgle-y things to paint over.

heh- "just turned do you say Pittman? that is the Death Guard's pre-heresy color scheme.

I like the whites on the model. Very nicely done, with clean lines.
