Death Guard - Part I - Chaos Lord

Chaos Space Marine Lord.

So here we go with the inaugural submission from my upcoming Death Guard army, and I thought I'd kick things off with the HQ. More accurately, one of my HQ choices.

Now unusually for me I didn't build this guy with any kind of battlefield role or tactic in mind. I'd recently purchased the wonderfully disgusting Gutrot Spume mini from Games Workshop, and I thought what better basis for conversion into a Chaos Space Marine Lord in service to Nurgle.

As you'll see the conversion is pretty simple, utilising some parts from the Putrid Blightkings set, the volkite pistol from the plastic Tartaros Terminators and an old metal backpack from my bits box along with a plastic nurgle banner.

Overall I'm pretty happy with how he turned out, especially as in terms of size he's an absolute monster when compared to a normal space marine (that's a 40mm base he's sitting on).

Speaking of bases, I shall be scratch-building all the bases for this army along the lines of a broken down, decaying industrial setting. That being the case I decided to knock together a prototype for my Lord:

Well that's it for the time being, Next post should be about my squad of fully converted Death Guard terminators.
Cheers.

    On the base? it's just styrene tubing and strip of varying sizes, plasticard and some fine mesh.

Death Guard - Part VI - WIP Hellforged Leviathan Dreadnought & Predators.

Hey folks, long time since my last update but I haven't been entirely idle. Right now I'm about 95% done building my new Forge World Leviathan Dreadnought, and I'm also just about finished with a pair of Predators, with some minor detailing to do before I paint. Here's the Leviathan: Hellforged Leviathan Dreadnought As you can see I've gone for a butcher cannon array and grav-flux bombard, though everything is magnetized so I can swap arms around. At time of posting I need to blend the spikes in a bit better (probably using liquid green stuff) and I also need to add a converted head. For the head I'll probably try and make something a little like Typhus - with the slit visor and horn coming out of the centre. As for the two Predators, I wanted to do something a little different. I had the kernel of an idea when I saw complete sets of metal parts on Ebay for the old metal & plastic  Predator Destructor , sometimes known as the Mkiiic pattern. Aft

Death Guard - Part V - Chaos Decimators

Hey folks, time for another update. I recently finished kit-bashing two Chaos Decimators for the Death Guard. I've been wanting to include a couple of these since the release of Forge World's Imperial Armour - Index: Forces of Chaos. That being said I am not a HUGE fan of the Forge World model, but more importantly I also wanted something more in keeping with the aesthetic of the new Death Guard releases. So, with that in mind I have converted these using the Foetid Bloat Drone for the torso and have mounted that on top of the leg assembly of the Adeptus Mechanicus Onager Dunecrawler. Front View I also took the step of trimming away the existing tentacles that were hanging from the front and added some of my own using green stuff and / or poseable wrapped wire from Zinge Industries . Further parts from the Dunecrawler (power pack etc) were added for decoration. The weapon arms are made from the seismic hammer arms from Ironclad Dreadnoughts with the shoulder
