Mark2 has been working on some Death Guard; he insists they aren’t based on what he sees out of his window while painting…<\/em><\/p>\n

Just before lockdown the club were starting to organise games for the open day. When I saw Eric was going to run a Kill Team game, there were two things I had to do. 1. participate in Eric\u2019s game (can\u2019t do that at the moment), 2. finish painting my Death Guard Kill Team, now that I can do, and so I did!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The figures are painted using Citadel paints, including some of their technical range, which I used to produce the rust and grime. I had thought about including some of the Death Guard\u2019s original pre-heresy colour, which is bone white, but decided go for the classic putrid green look. I\u2019ve purposely used light fogging here as it helps to produce the grime and general dirty aged look of the figures. There are loads of excellent examples of painted death guard out there, better than mine but I find most are too clean. These guys are supposed to be stinking rusting hulks surrounded by flies, foul gases and smoke.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They\u2019re based on the Pallid Hand sect, part of the second company of the Death Guard, which specialise in armoured attack. My brief back story for the team is they\u2019re part of armoured recon and specialise in operating behind enemy lines, gathering intel and taking out key enemy personnel, but also pack enough punch to take out light vehicles and strong points if required.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sergeant (Nex Morbus) is armed with a power fist, plasma gun and plague blade; he carries most of the heavy weapons to take out any strong points but can also mix it up hand to hand. The rest of the team are armed with early pattern bolters and carry plague knives, blight grenades and melta bombs. I\u2019m currently adding to the team, working on some poxwalkers to use as cannon fodder for larger Kill Team games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Can’t wait to see how they do, the Death Guard are tough but slow, so tactics against more mobile but heavily armed units will be a challenge. Going to try them out against my son\u2019s imperial guard using my 40K city terrain, will send this in for another blog at some point.<\/p>\n
