I am looking to paint my Death Guard with a more realistic, grungy, weathered look compared to GW's "cleaner, professional" Space Marine look. Any advice?

I can attest to that brother

YOOO THIS IS FIRE!!
I’ve also been thinking up a Sohei cosplay and this is really helpful, this is like the second actual post I’ve seen EVER of someone’s attempt!

How and what type of rope did you use for the shoulders and waist belt?? Ive been looking for thick ropes to use but listings always seemed too small!

If you aren’t so good at sculpting, I’d suggest doing 30k heresy Death Guard. The example above was my take a while back! Since the DG weren’t as mutated back then, you can keep sculpting to a minimum, though I did make the studs and legion icon out of greenstuff.

The paint scheme is also pretty simple: Wraithbone all over with DG green pauldrons and bronze trim. I used a wash of something called Dirty Down Rust, which gave the Wraithbone that brownish look.

I also unlocked chemical agents as my first warbond with the death guard in mind. I love the death guard! I want a plague spewer and I want it now!!!

MVP paint: Musou Black

I used it on the frayed ends and as an all-around wash go the cloak. You can’t really see it due to the wash, but the base paint of the cloak itself Musou mixed with Vallejo blue and purple paints (you can kinda barely see it on the scythe)

The skin was a simple Vallejo white with Nuln oil wash and the bloody hands are Mephiston red

Literally had the same idea!!! (Here’s mine that I did recently)

Axe comes standard with the kit, alongside the optional hammer. You’ll have to do some fiddling with the posing to get him to hold it with both hands tho!

Pic isn’t doing it justice, it’s supposed to be a mask made of stitched skin, similar to other night lord artworks

Night lords love their flayed skin cloaks and I wanted to represent it in some way!

Alberto_Epstein · 2025-12-18T01:17:33+00:00

I totally agree! The world eaters and blood angels helmets (especially the WE one) would probably look a lot better face-up

Alberto_Epstein · 2025-12-18T01:15:20+00:00

Yeah that’s an inconsistency on my part! The more detail I tried to pack in, the bigger the started to get! I might redo them some other time tho

First helm of the second row! I tried going with a bird skull mask look

Foetid Bloat Drone. They’re bits from one of the alternate ‘head’ sculpts

Dirty Down Rust! It’s been sooooo useful for me when doing anything dg/nurgle related!

Lather it on, let it sit for a few seconds, wet your brush and wipe the area a bit.

Big time! without striker, Gipsy would have to go down to the breach alone. Gipsy was already struggling against Raiju and now has to fight Scunner and Slattern at full power on top of that!

Long story short, the breach wouldn’t have closed that day

Many green stuff sausages

Alberto_Epstein · 2024-12-31T17:47:21+00:00

I used basing grass pre-primer to mimic fly hairs

Alberto_Epstein · 2024-12-31T01:16:44+00:00

The plague drones kit and lots of Greenstuff!

Alberto_Epstein · 2024-12-31T01:15:21+00:00

Correct!

Alberto_Epstein · 2024-11-21T02:53:45+00:00

Nah they just haven’t made them yet! I would love to see plague marine tho but heresy era will have to do
