Death Guard Progress Report


Howdy, folks!  I'ts been a few weeks, but I've still been painting away.  My latest project is a unit of Death Guard Plague Marines.  I just gotta say these guys are so f@*%ing cool.  They're basically Chaos Space Marines who worship Nurgle, the god plague and disease.  In return Grandfather Nurgle has gifted his favored sons with putrid flesh and pestilence to spread across the galaxy...

Death Guard: Aaaaaand you're dead...

I'm almost done with the unit of six Plague Marines and one Plague Champion.  I won't go into too much detail about my painting method--I just kinda went with my instinct, and I don't remember exactly all the colors I used etc.  I attempted some new techniques on these guys, most notably, my first-ever attempt at OSL, which I'm fairly happy with, but I definitely need to study how light reflects off of objects more;  it's a work in progress... I've got two guys just about finished, so I'll leave them for you to check out.  I should have the rest done by next week.

Two Plague Marines.  Not the best lighting, and my feeble attempt at OSL on the right guy.  I'm still debating if I should have light reflecting off of his rusty plague knife.  


This over-exposed shot brings out the OSL much better I think...

All kinds of fleshy mutations...

...and, of course, rust pigments!

That's all, folks.
