I got the chance to look through a copy of the Kill Team compendium the other day and discovered to my surprise that I only need one more Plague Marine to have a Death Guard kill team. Now I don’t know if I’ll actually get around to playing Kill Team, although skirmish games are my preferred poison these days. What I do enjoy though is anything that motivates me to get more painting done, and sure enough this did the trick.
Adding this champion to the Plague Marine warrior I painted previously makes a two man fire team.
Meanwhile the second fire team will be made up of 8 poxwalkers.
Put them all together and we have this foul-looking little lot.
I think I can put together several other Kill Teams from models I’ve already painted, allowing me to field Space Marines, Chaos Marines, Orks and Adeptus Mechanicus if I so choose. I like building warbands though so I reckon I’ll take a look at some of the other factions and see where my imagination leads me.

Looks great – I don’t think I’ve seen that head with the skull inside the helmet before. Looks like a light Honey coloured filter on his white armour – along with some Mud on his feet.

Cheers! The head is actually a trophy from a Chaos Marines backpack, I thought it worked nicely for a member of the Death Guard though. As for the armour it’s just a wash of Seraphim Sepia/Agrax Earthshade over Ushabti Bone (then all the usual highlighting and weathering to get it looking suitably manky).

That’s awesome – love little conversion touches like that which you can’t even tell aren’t a “proper” model. I’ll be stealing that one, and possibly the painting as well when I get to my own Death Guard, as I want to use the original Legion scheme on them rather than the “standard modern” green…

Nicely done, not the figure that’s excellent, but the excuse you found to paint one more! 😉
January 31st, 2022 at 8:57 am
Cheers! Truth be told I can always find the excuse, it’s the time I struggle with! 😀

Top job mate – love that daemonic backpack, and the Marine’s head is fab!!
January 31st, 2022 at 9:10 am
Cheers mate! The backpack was a lot of fun to do, getting those nice fleshy colours pushing through the metal, but really – what kind of crazy daemon do you have to be to possess a backpack?

not particularly ‘forward-looking’ is it!? (fnarr fnarr)

Very nice- the new Kill Team is a great game. They new system is rather clever- quick but it has subtlities in it.
I must try doing some of my Death Guard in the originial white… I’ve got a few left before I’ve finished my army.
Cheers,
Pete.

Thank you! Aye, it looks interesting from what I’ve seen – and fairly straightforward to learn (I really don’t have a good head for game rules…). I’m not sure about the measuring system though – I find it hard enough to work things out in inches but all this 3 triangles past a circle boggles me. That aside though it looks very appealing, next time I’m at home for more than about ten minutes I might even try it out.
Good thinking on the Death Guard – I’ve found that the pre- and post-heresy schemes look quite nice alongside each other in the same army.

As you say, gruesome, but nicely done! 🙂
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:25 pm
Thank you – he’s pretty foul isn’t he! 😀

Nice work on the latest Nurgle mini! The squad really looks great together and there’s nothing like hitting a gaming goal to motivate some painting too 🙂
February 2nd, 2022 at 9:26 pm
Cheers! Yeah, I don’t play very much but I do find gaming goal really helpful motivation for getting things done. 🙂

Niiiice. A bit of vomit came to my mouth looking at him
February 6th, 2022 at 7:54 am
Haha – then I’ve done my job well! I don’t think he’s as foul as the fat one though, he really is disgusting!

Mud Honey!
February 6th, 2022 at 7:14 am
🤘🤘 Brilliant band eh! 🙂

I think it is one word, it was a Russ Meyer movie first, I prefer the Supersuckers.
