[40K] Death Guard Comission, Part VIII

And the final round of the Gellerpox side! These last months I have been busy sculpting (I was in fact making the asignaments to get a place in GW´s Trainee Sculptors Program) and have been working as well as going to course in the evenings, so I had almost no time to the hobby (the weekends? Ah yes...the Xbox and Red Dead Redemption 2 is guilty in this detail). But well, now I have to show you all the critters that infested the New Dawn, a curious bunch of models with a lot of diferent paintjobs.

* Cursemites: First I thought to paint them in a more realistic colour, some kind of brown or dark red colour, but finally I choose very alike to GW´s, but a more blueish black. Also I saw in internet that if you paint the mouth tentacles in a bright red, the models look amazing, so I stole the idea.

* Sludge-grubs: As more "meatish" I choose a colour scheme such the poxzombies but ironically in more healthy tones. Are very curious models, with a special charm, but all that drooling don´t allow an easy painting.

* Glitchings: As nurglins cousin, I painted them in pinky and green tones, the only silly details was painting the hair in electric blue, to show they are electric failures made manifest.

* Eyestinger Swarms: Giant evil flies! I painted as the cursemites to hold a coherency but also because in Madrid in summer we had a problem with some kind of  small black flies that bite as rabid dogs, so I thought of these as a giant version, so the corpse has been recent and viciously eaten and are looking for the next victim.

So, let´s go back to the Death Guard and finish the last models.

And also, have you all a happy new year!!

Again, I´m really sorry for this lack of updates, but no more pleas.


What is better than a zombie? A zombie on fire? No, that's worse, in my case I mean the Rogue Trader MEGAZOMBIES ... well, okay, they don't call them that, but the Nightmare Hulks.

My girlfriend and me talked a lot about the look they have of being minis reused from other projects that never got ahead, especially that one of the tentacles and all the sea elements that it has and that sincerely, in a spaceship there are a little pout of place... * The Butcher or leader of the unit, with this mini I considered many things when painting his clothes, in the end I decided that they were remains of his work suit, so the white top like every good cooker, and the bottom as if it were what is left of his killer apron:

* The crew member: with this one I had less doubts, it is the one that looks more like a member of the crew, so the clothes would be the typical blue of the mechanic overalls. I must say that being so simple, I think is the mini whose looks told you the better background than all the 3 monsters:

* ?: And the ... uh ... well, the sailor executioner who got lost in the warp and ended up in a 40K ship ... for example. Painting the tentacles was curiously uphill, I don't know very well why:

Of course, with so many tentacles and being an evil thing I can´t lost the chance to make a freak hint

* Vulgrar: Although GW painted it with green clothes, it is assumed that this was the "chief of machines" of the New Dawn ship, therefore it should be some kind of Tecnopriest, so choose to paint the clothes red. I rather it that way:

And that is how a blog dies, when you forget to update it in a month...well, forgive this little mistake but just as I finished these models I started a little personal project and all my hobby time is focused in it, I haven´t touched a brush in all this time even! But well, I think you are here to see more models, not my excuses.

This time I painted a good bunch of models, because all Nurgle army needs a lot of...zombies! Yes, poxwalkers (from Dark Imperium and First Strike) and Gellerpox zombies, 29 models ready to eat the brains of their enemies or spread Nurgle´s gifts to those that can flee.

The Gellerpox have no conversion or modification, just say that I want to show they were member of some crew, so they wear all the same uniform, just dark and a bit dirty. The Poxwalker of course have been converted, trying to avoid two models alike some little changes as head swaps were made, but these ones are without any doubt the best models

I should do a year resume? Don´t know, maybe.

See you mates!
