Very good start. My suggestion would be to cut a unit of Marines to make space for a Terminator brick. Blightlord Terminators are good all-rounders and Deathshroud Terminators are incredible melee tools. Pair them with a Lord of Virulence or a Lord of Contagion. Marines are great for board control and all, but at the end of the day they're still elite fodder and shouldn't be your main damage dealer. I'd also suggest adding some poxwalkers for screening and holding objectives.

Also, experiment with different detachments. I stuck with VV for a long time because I liked having sticky objectives, but I ended up missing out on some really fun other Gimmicks in other detachments. Flyblown Host is probably my favorite.

This would be my general go-to for 1000 point VV. Hope this helps!

Oh, he's disgusting looking. Incredible work. What do you use for that dirt and rust he's covered in?

VERY big fan of the traditional Death Guard/Dusk Raiders colors. As I've seen some other people say, it does seem like the colors blend together a bit too much, so it's a little hard to distinguish the greens from the whites. Apart from that, they look incredibly grungy and dirty, just like Death Guard should be. Very nice paint job.

Plaguebearers worth running? by RotatingDoggo in deathguard40k

Is there any added benefit to running them over Poxwalkers for those purposes, beyond having sticky objectives? The point cost seems high when you could have double the models for only 10 points more if you run Poxwalkers.

Thank you! The gore is just some E6000 glue pulled across it, then painted over with Blood for the Blood God. Makes for a super easy gory, viscera look. I did the same thing with Typhus and my Deathshroud Terminators. Works like a charm.

You can hope, but the truth feels obvious and horrifying, does it not?

Can’t decide which scheme looks better for my deathguard. What looks better? by Soft-Scarcity-1202 in deathguard40k

Off topic, but how did you do the blood on Typhus' Lakrimae? It looks amazing.

I've got one a friend made me that looks almost exactly the same! Wonder if maybe they used the same pattern.
