I've been collecting Death Guard since Space Marine days. Unfortunately most of my collection is in storage interstate, but I am acquiring and painting some models, so thought I would share what I've been up to. The first unit are legion medusas, which I will use as contagion engines in 40k games. ![]() I've painted them in a battle-worn off white so they suit both eras. I did the same with my 28mm version of this army. ![]() I also painted a fair bit of rust on them, to represent the fact that Death Guard fight in the dirty, toxic places more than other marines. ![]() I kept the guns metallic though. Those bits are maintained and looked after at least! ![]() The red accent on the guns is the same as my 28mm army too. It is a throwback to the 90's when I started collecting the earlier models I own. ![]() These models also came with crewmen. I might add them in later. I will also add some unit markings in later. I have some home made pre-heresy transfers in storage, so I am planning to add those eventually. But that's it for now! |

Thanks everyone. I have a few more models painted up now, so thought I would share. Apocolocyntosis wrote: How was that white/off white painted? I did up a recipe when I painted my vindicators (to help me remember the steps I follow) so I'll post it here: 1. Paint the model Zandri Dust. ![]() 2. Drybrush Screaming Skull. ![]() 3. Highlight edges with Screaming Skull. ![]() 4. Paint rusty bits Mournfang Brown. ![]() 5. Paint non-rusty metal bits black. ![]() 6. Lightly drybrush brown and black bits with Leadbelcher. ![]() 7. Paint the red bits Khorne Red. Do a tiny edge highlight with Evil Sunz Scarlet. ![]() 8. Agrax Earthshade wash. ![]() 9. Highlight with white. Try to focus on the upper edges, and leave the lower parts brown. It's at this point that I usually think "actually this doesn't look too bad." Up until here I'm full of doubt and questioning what I've done ![]() ![]() 10. Caliban Green. Do a very subtle warp stone edge highlight. I'm not 100% happy with my green. I like the dark contrast, but it's not overly "Death Guardy". I need to keep experimenting I think. ![]() 11. Chuck it on a base if that's your thing. Job done! ![]() ![]() I'll post the full formation later on. |

Yes, very nice! Yeah, until I slap a wash on I feel like everything I'm doing is awful. =-P |

Cheers for posting up the tutorial ![]() Looks great, wash is amazing stuff and makes so much difference to a paintjob more so in 6mm I think as it brings out all the little details, I miss the GW washes soooooo much ![]() |

No problem. It will help me in 6 months time when I can't quite remember what I did! Here are the pictures of the completed vindicator squadron. ![]() ![]() ![]() Plus I added the crew to the medusas. ![]() ![]() I might need to refine that technique for 6mm power armour. I can probably cut out a couple of steps. That's it for now. ![]() |
