Dark Imperium Death Guard

Evening!

It has really been a while since I updated anything on here but thought I would share some of my first Death Guard models from Dark Imperium. I love the Death Guard and actually sold an army not that long ago and have regretted that decision many times.

With the new models I was over the moon and couldn't wait to get started on them. With that said:

C&C always welcome!

Night Lord's Contemptor WIP #3

So as I said before I was going to try and finish the lascannon arm for the Contemptor last night and I was successful with my deadline. Pretty pleased with how it worked out and now I just have the close combat arm to finish, then it's on to the twin assault cannons. I have some more work to do on the assault cannons, having persuaded my mother to part with some of her unused and damaged costume jewellery so I can pinch the chains for a bit of added detail.

Night Lord's Contemptor WIP #1

Morning all!

It's been a week since my last update but I have managed some work on my Night Lord's Contemptor. I was working on my vow for the Iron Without contest but I failed that miserably due to a lack of enthusiasm for the model I was painting. It was also a Dreadnought but I had done some conversion work and to be perfectly honest I was not at all happy with how it turned out.

Anyway, so far I have done the metal areas on the back and legs using Rhinox Hide as a base and a heavy dry brush of Leadbelcher. I like this method because it saves using washes to tone down the metal which also saves time and gives the metal a more worn look.

I have also worked on the blue for the torso and started filling in the details like the wings and scroll work and also some of the bronze areas. I used the same base paint for the scroll work and the skulls/helmet but I will be using different methods to stop them looking the same on the finished model.

Thanks for looking, C&C always welcome.

Night Lords Sergeant #2 Finished

I have finished the second Sergeant for the army. I am really chuffed with this one. The advice I got for painting the shoulder as cloth has really paid off so thanks for that :), I used the backpack from the new Deathwatch Chaplain Cassius model that I had left over from a previous conversion (Word Bearers Diobalist).

The Chainglaive i am particularly happy with though now that it is painted I can see there is a slight bend in it. We live and learn though and I am not going to take him apart to correct the problem.

I normally name a model using my screen name for each of my armies that I do so may I present Nemac Vradon, Headsman of the VIII Legion Night Lords:

Cataphractii Terminators Complete

Did a little work on the Cataphractii today and managed to get the last of them finished. I may yet add a few more decals to them, maybe a few daemonic markings or Colchisian script on the knee plates and some script on the tops of their armour. For the moment though I am calling them finished as I have way too much on my painting table and really need to get a move on. I will neeed to get them a Land Raider but that will wait until I have finished the Veterans and the first five of my Plasma Support Squad.

I have also ordered the cloak from the Deathwatch Killt Team box, Ortan Cassius from the Overkill box set and a Warp Talon head for a conversion based on this guy for my Diabolist:
