Cvife's Pre Heresy Death Guard

[shaw3029]

Four contemptors! I thought my two was enough.

How do you find the Assault cannon & cyclone missile launcher dread in games?

I second that you should get yourself a proteus!

[wikear]

4!?!

U mad bro?

[Apothecarian]

Good job Cvife. Your army is shaping up nicely from the last time I had take a look at it. Keep up the good work!

[Petay1985]

really lovely work here fella, a most impressive army to behold by any standards.

[BrotherTearz]

A really nice looking army

[cvife]

I'm back!

Lots of people have been pressuring me to add a land raider proteus to this army, so I did. I have to say that before I bought one I was really in to minds with regards to this model, on the forge world wed site it looks great from some angles but terrible from others, however, now I own one and have had the chance to look at it properly, I really love it, here's the photos:







That all for now, I promise I'll update this blog sooner next time!

Yay you buckled More proteus love!!

And I'm glad you love it, it really is an amazing tank IRL, bit pricey but when you get it built and put it beside your other models it's really worth it

Now how about that new shiny Spartan

LOL... no chance. It's not that I dislike the model, in fact I think it looks better then the Proteus by a long way, It's just that it doesn't fit into the theme of the army, to much of a transport and not enough like a battle tank!

Besides, I'm moving onto Adeptus Titanicus support next!

Well I had to try XD

But Adeptus titanicus support aye? Can we expect to see a fw warhound, or even a reaver perhaps??

[shaw3029]

Nice!

Buy you know if the spartan suited any army it would have to be the deathguard with all the troops they field

[constant_ones]

Love how dirty and rough your tanks turn out, weathering is just great!

[Sqallum]

Adeptus Titanicus support? o0 ooh, hope you get some Warhounds

[cvife]

Ok, so...

Time for a BIG update, I have been a little busy!

Firstly, I have decided to further theme this army, The intention is now that they are from the Isstvan V drop site massacres, so they are traitors but aren't yet followers of Nurgle, or strictly speking, Chaos at all, they just prefer Horus to the Emperor, this allows for me to branch out into the other legions which were about at that time, and with the new allies system that will be easier then ever! but more on that later.

Firstly, I want to show off some of the Death Guard stuff I've been working on.

I've pretty much finished the Land Raider Proteus, all that's left to do is some highlighting around the weapons and a couple of lenses, I've also added to the weathering around the tracks to give it an even more worn and well used appearance:





I also couldn't resist adding a flyer to my army, so I bought a Storm Talon, I don't think it's the greatest model out there (It is massively better then the Storm Raven though!) and it won't be featuring in any major painting competitions such as Armies on parade, but I has some decent rules and is probably the easiest way to add a flyer to a Space Marine army, here's the photos:

Next is something I hinted at in a previous post:

I have a loyalist warhound for this army! I felt that this army had got to such a size that it needed something big, and this was the answer, it was great fun to paint, but it's in no way finished yet, It's also not going to be the last one either, I eventually plan on having another warhound and a reaver in the same colours.

In case you're wondering, it's in the colours of the Legio Crucius or the 'Warmongers' for short, and if you know about their background you will know that while they weren't on the traitors side, but to me that doesn't really matter, if I'm going to spend over £300 on a miniature, I'll paint it however I want!

Anyway, here's the pics:

and finally, the allies thing i Talked about earlier, I decided I wanted to do something a bit different, so I decided to Start some Emperor's children.

The intention is to use them as a very small force with Blood Angels rules, and to make them as different to the death guard as possible, so in contrast to the very regimented look I went for with the death guard, I tried to make the emperor's children look very individualistic as I could, here's the unpainted photos of the first half of the first tactical squad:







and to give an idea of how they'll look when they're finished, here's a photo of Captain Lucius...



That's all for now.

I love this blog! Great Idea to bild up EC next to DG. The difference could´nt be bigger. I´m a huge fan of your work!

[the damned artificer]

Great stuff mate, and that hound is delicious ;D

Uhh and fulgrims glitter boys, awesome! You should do Garro for your DG and Saul Tarvitz so you have the honour brothers ;D That would certainly give an extra point for fluff

[LokkoRex]

nice looking land raider, warhound, storm talon and emperors children.

good job!

[Sqallum]

Whoa!!! I love it I am looking forward to some more Titans

[tcraigen]

Great looking force!
