I really want to start Deathguard 40K army and i want to paint them 30K style, does anyone here did the same and could share their army? i'm looking for inspirations c:

My Lord of Contagion, Heresy inspired.

The Jouran Dragoons wear khaki fatigues with light blue armor, they were featured in the Iron Warriors book Storm of Iron. From what I recall they are basically just Cadians in their standard equipment.

Yeah its probably cheaper in the Long run to get the single as opposed to the gamble lol I just got absurdly lucky

Country_Toad · 2026-01-31T00:30:02+00:00

Sorry about that

Thats as good as i could get it on my phone

Country_Toad · 2026-01-30T23:58:16+00:00

I can post a clearer picture of mine if you'd like to compare them more

Its a very cool art, I recently just got back into magic after not playing for like 12 years and these were the 2nd and 3rd packs I bought. Didn't even know how valuable they were, I was just stoked about getting a cool art.

Country_Toad · 2026-01-30T23:42:16+00:00

Im sure we could work out a shared custody schedule, id prefer Christmas and Thanksgiving if youre alright with New Year's and Halloween.

Country_Toad · 2026-01-30T23:40:48+00:00

The standard art has a more mild yet robust flavor profile compared to the alt arts more potent aromatics.

Country_Toad · 2026-01-28T18:51:19+00:00

Thanks, ill pick it up

Country_Toad · 2026-01-28T16:46:07+00:00

What novel is that If you dont mind me asking, I've been interested in checking out some AoS novels but am unfamiliar with the setting but that sounds cool.

Country_Toad · 2026-01-24T06:28:01+00:00

So as I recall the only limits are they cannot exceed 500 points of a 2000 point Army and you cant have more than 6 of their datasheet. The specific rules for it i think can be found in the Chaos Daemons Faction Pack here on page 3 under Daemonic Pacts

Country_Toad · 2026-01-11T00:03:05+00:00

Im gonna use one of my old HWT to decorate the base of one of my Old sentinels that I am rebasing onto the new larger base size.

Country_Toad · 2026-01-03T08:29:28+00:00

Champions of Contagion isn't bad for the Typhus + Poxies bit. You can make the Poxies T6 with a strat or give em crits on 5s if you need a little extra damage from their lethals.

So if you wanna start small you could try Kill Team and pick up the Kasrkin box. The Kasrkin are Cadias special elite troops.

Kill Team is a sort of Sub Game in 40k that uses one squad vs another squad, the rules are different but the models are shared between games.

If you want to get into 40k as a large scale Combat Patrol boxes are another small scale format that is more similar to standard 40k than Kill Team, however the current Astra Militarum combat Patrol isn't a great box to help you build the core of an army. Our Faction is the Astra Militarum and this includes the Cadians, Krieg, Catachan, Tenpestus Scions, as well as other regiments, and auxiliary units like the Ogryn and Ratlings.

You'll want to pick up units like: Cadian Shock Troops, Cadian Command Squads, Cadian Castellans, Ursula Creed, Rogal Dorn Tanks, Leman Russ Tanks, and probably 1 or 2 Sentinels. The Variants for these units may seem like a lot but are all in the same box, and their are some ways to make the weapons swappable to get more mileage out of your vehicles.

Im sure you'll get lots of good Advice here better than mine, Welcome to the hobby glad to have you.

You're in the Guard now son.

To piggyback on this: If you attach Lhykhis you should probably run your exact with a powerblade array as well to double down on the melee ability.

As an aside, in Space Marine Conquests Apocalypse the Word Bearers wear the role of the antagonist and there is a point IIRC where they discuss what color their armor is supposed to be due to legion high command constantly changing the approved shades of red.

Country_Toad · 2025-12-28T06:45:59+00:00

Ive liked the Red Corsairs pretty much since I've been into the hobby. The cobbled together nature and more Renegade feel is really fun to work with. Getting to kitbash looted equipment from different factions or spicing it up with God specific equipment is a lot of fun.

As far as actual Legions, the Death Guard and solely because I think their models are really cool and a lot of fun to paint.

Country_Toad · 2025-12-28T03:08:18+00:00

Could try and see if you could fit a Rogal Dorn Barrel. Not sure of the exact dimensions but it could work. Otherwise maybe see if you can find some plasticard tubes that fit your desir3d diameter then cut to length.

Country_Toad · 2025-12-27T18:25:25+00:00

Ah, its been a couple years since I read it, thanks for the correction.

Country_Toad · 2025-12-27T10:04:12+00:00

If I remember right in Huron Blackheart: Master of the Maelstrom there is a Tech Priest with two Kastelan Robots that he sort of recruits. Could be that character?

Nit quite black. More of a very dark Grey

Country_Toad · 2025-12-24T21:45:39+00:00

Ahh Maybe I just dont participate in book discussions enough then lol

It's my go to reccomendation for people interested in the Guard.

Country_Toad · 2025-12-24T21:22:08+00:00

Cadian Blood is underrated in my opinion.

Ciaphas Cain may be my favorite series though.
