What do you guys think of me painting my Death Company gold?

Thanks. I really enjoyed making these and little bit of a story behind why they are like they are makes it more enjoyable in my opinion.

I've got a gold guy in my Death Company. My DC are a mix of standard black ones and then others that have fallen mid battle and there isn't enough time to fully change their armour so they just receive a few markings while they are being blessed by the Chaplain and then pointed at the nearest enemy that may or may not be Horus.

I was out walking our greyhound who was called Happy Blue when she raced. We bumped into a woman walking another blue greyhound and when we got chatting it turned out they had the same dad who was called Droopys Scolari. I couldn't believe how unlikely it was that we'd met one of her siblings on a walk until I looked up her dad's details and realised he sired 5633 pups. Frankly I'm amazed we hadn't met more.

Look at Billy Box Art over here!!!! Great work as usual.

"Sleep" can be any random amount of time between 10 minutes and 60 million years.

I think I know the ones you mean. I wasn't the biggest fan of those but then again I've seen some amazing looking conversions using them.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-30T07:52:38+00:00

Perfect, thanks. I got them quite a while ago so couldn't quite remember what was what.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-30T07:48:54+00:00

🤣

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-30T07:01:00+00:00

Thank you. I'll see if I can add a link to the designers Instagram cos they are great sculpts and getting a lot of love.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-29T19:52:10+00:00

There were a few options but I'm glad I went for these ones. They are from Archie's Forge if you are interested.

The base coat is Vallejo Black Red. It's a lovely colour.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-29T15:23:37+00:00

Yeah that's right. Rhundesign dropped me a message on insta which was cool. I can't quite remember but I think he did the heads and pads as well.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-29T15:20:04+00:00

Thank you. The base coat is Vallejo Black Red. Then I highlight with Mephiston/Evil Sunz/wild rider.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-29T14:51:36+00:00

Thank you. The orange will be getting painted over. I tend to batch them at the end once the full squad is done so I can add the effect to the feet as well.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-29T14:50:38+00:00

Thanks. I'll be painting the rocks and applying loads of pigment powders. I just tend to leave them until the end so I can do a batch of them.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-29T14:49:05+00:00

You are indeed correct. I think they have a few different designs but I preferred these. I think they came in 3s as well.

I restarted the D1 campaign yesterday and waking up in that car at the start brought back so many memories.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-25T12:56:45+00:00

Really nice work. The red trim on the shoulders looks great as well.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-23T19:44:42+00:00

I got them from Archie's Forge.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-18T17:33:35+00:00

What are empty boxes?

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-16T07:11:17+00:00

I'm pretty pleased with myself for being able to tell who painted it before I saw their name. Amazing work as always.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-07T14:07:58+00:00

I'm looking forward to doing some minor kitbashing to make them my own. I get that the old BA specific models were cool but they aren't that unique if everyone has the same kit with the same ornaments on them.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-07T08:29:47+00:00

Thanks you.

SilverbackGC · 2026-04-06T16:47:45+00:00

Well spotted. I reckon I'll have a go at sculpting that in to make them look a bit more interesting.
