I particularly like the vehicle weathering and the new paint scheme for the death guard troopers.
I also like the purply-pink pustules. They offset the green nicely.

The defiler conversion is damn nice too but enough comment on that


For those of us who came late to the thread, it's a pity that so many of the pics are now offline.
Do you have any step by step instructions on how you got the weathering or did the troopers? They certainly look good bang for buck.

Yeah, my photobucket account reached it's max limit so I deleted alot fo the early WIP pics, but I guess they got replaced by new pics labled under the same name. That might throw people off viewing the first page but oh well.

As for paint scheme details, it's not too much of a change from the old scheme just an extra step added. It goes as follows:

GW Black primer base coat.

Catachan green

Drybrush Camo green

Drybrush Rotting Flesh

Wash with a Dark Green Wash - I mix Didi's Magic Ink Black and Green maybe 5:1 Anyone interested can get it at thewarstore. I highly recommend it if you have lots of models to do because the containers are big and are fairly cheap and the quality is great.

Drybrush Bleached Bone

Brown Wash

The armor trim is Reaper Tarnished Brass(I think that's the name anyway) followed with a Devlan Mud wash (two coats.)

Well then double kudos to you then!

Those plaguemarines do not show any signs of the chalkiness that usually results from extensive drybrushing.

thanks for the sharing.

Another update. I'm on a timetable to get this army done by the 18th of this month for a local army painting challenge. Failing that I have to have it finished for a painted army comp. over at Tau Online by the 30th. So here's what I've been working on recently.

Plague Marines: the 2 Champs skin is still WIP and I want to try some freehand on the champion holding the book.





Repainted Oblits:



Repainted Daemon Prince:








Left to paint I have 2 more OBlits, 5 terminators, 1 landraider, 10 lesser Daemons, 1 Greater daemon, as well as convert and paint 1 Plague Champion.

I'm still deciding on how to base them but I'm leaning towards tundra/snow bases.

I have seen your efforts and my first instinct is to hate you. But I can't with such wonderful Nurgly goodness! Consider yourself as having inspired me to finally complete my own Nurgle Project. Thanks!

looking good, hopefully we both finish in time and get a nice dinner out of it :-)

I just had to take a minute to say I love your work..Grandfather Nurgle would be proud.

I think I had too much painted already to qualify for the challenge. But I still think it's good inspiration to join in the fun, free dinner or not!

Looking absolutley incredible! Nice work as always Cadaver
