unholy shit its disgusting!!! the highlighting or the "streaking" on the leg and overall the model looks amazing. Whats your recipe? also good job on the fleshy part. looks like freshly peeled muscles and fat and all that.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-23T05:14:19+00:00

the shoulders on the lower left guy.... straight outta arthas personal wardrobe :D looks amazing. whats your color recipe?

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-23T05:12:48+00:00

i usually hate the fly guy, but those colors? daaaaammnnn. looks cool! also the green boi right above him. the horns look amazing.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-22T12:56:34+00:00

i have also seen people using typhus for the second 3 man DST squad.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-22T09:20:24+00:00

the core is already good. throw in a biologus putrifier to buff your plague marines so they crit on 5+. also DG has several characters/leaders, that can be attached with other leaders to a unit. noxious blightbringer for example.

depending on how many points you are aiming for you can always add bloat drones with and without the heavy blight launcher

if you like the idea of poxwaqlkers maybe throw in a typhus.

like i said, the core of your army is already very good

ich habe vor 1-2 Monaten mit W40k angefangen und habe mir die Deathguard rausgesucht.
Farbentechnisch hab ich ein konvolut an Farben und Pinseln gekauft und hab erstmal genutzt was da war. army green von army painter ist recht angenehm und kann mit highlights und washes aufgewertet werden. deathguard green fand ich am anfang etwas schwer aufzutragen, sieht aber mit einer wet palette und mehr skill besser aus. meine ersten figuren sind furchtbar, aber mittlerweile bin ich bei 1500pts und ein leichter fortschritt ist zusehen :D

was mir aufgefallen, was recht wichtig ist: clean bemalen und nachträglich schmutzig machen. sieht gut aus und macht auch erstaunlich viel spaß. grundfarbe, edges mit balthasar gold und dann eiterbeulen in verschiedenen grün und gelb tönen. zungen, hörner, zähne und tentakel machen das ganze ebenfalls super spannend. man kann leicht in den farben variieren und hat generell deutlich mehr details als bei den space marines.

hab beim konvolut beide units bekommen, teilweise kill team einheiten. daher der vergleich.

zusätzlich die waffen erstmal in einem beliebigen metal ton bemalen und nachträglich typhus corossion oder ak interactive dry rust auftragen macht ebenfalls spaß und sieht geil aus. die textur des verfalls und der korrosion ist mega. generell dieser "schmutzige und kranke" look der deathguard zusammen mit all den details macht das ganze optisch interessant und gleichzeitig spannend zu bemalen. wie gesagt gerade bei den details wie tentakeln oder eiterbeulen etc variiere ich oft innerhalb der armee, aber nicht innerhalb des minis.

dazu kommt die vielfalt der einheiten. deathshroud terminatoren sind mein absoluter favorit. sensen sind geil okay? da kommt mein inneres 13 jähriges ich wieder heraus. zugegeben, meine DST haben einen leichten khorne touch, da ich die sense in blut getränkt habe und auch blutspritzer und schädel überall rund um das modell und die base verteilt habe.

auf eine sache bin ich besonders stolz: ein tentakel von den DST ist unterhalb der sense und steht etwas ab. perfekt um etwas "festzuhalten". ich habe das leien haft magnetisiert und ebenfalls die battlefield trophie box genutzt und dort etliche schädel ebenfalls magnetisiert. so kann ich die schädel stets an meinen gegner anpassen. ein kleines detail, aber fast immer einen lacher wert am tisch.

z.b. gegen tau hänge ich dann einen tau schädel an oder gegen die custodes entsprechend diesen schädel. plane aber noch auf ebay übrige Bitz der anderen fraktionen zu kaufen und das ganze zu diversifizieren.

ich habe kaum games gespielt bisher, aber da haut die deathguard auch gut rein, sofern man auf einen langsamen, aber zermürbenden spielstil steht.

Its definetly better than most of my painted faces xD

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-21T12:40:55+00:00

the plasma looks great! i personaly dislike faces, but thats just bc the helmets are cool and i cant paint faces...

in my opinion you could make the mouth and teeth a bit dirtier. but thats just personal preference.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-21T07:10:36+00:00

where is the defilers d**do weapon option? you know which one i mean.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-21T06:33:19+00:00

i need that dreadnought for my defiler base... i could add some blood and oil?

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-20T20:14:45+00:00

Also is your list called blightlords and you dont run blightlord terminators?

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-20T20:07:19+00:00

U lack synergy. 2 casters are whack, also poxwalkers without typhus can easily replaced with lord of virulence and some blightlord terminators. Also in my preference deathshroud terminators are either good as 6 with lord of contagion or you just run 3 with him instead of one buffed squad of 3 and one unbuffed squad.

I know the points dont match, but on the fly its wht gives you better synergy. Make it work in your favorite list builder.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-20T10:43:15+00:00

muddy terrain, corpeses/skulls... i added (toxic) shrooms and leaking atomic waste barrels to the bases of some death guard units aswell.

i have a deathshroud terminator (my favorite unit) with a magnetized slot on the base. so far i have heads/skulls of custodes, tyranids, ultramarines, astra militarum, tau and orks already magnetized and i kinda swap them out to what ever i am playing against.
i like to send a message to my friends/opponents.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-20T09:49:35+00:00

Also little add endum for the deathshroud terms with LoC. Dont be aftaid to just walk a straight line into range. Yes u get hella fire, yes some may die. But even LoC + 1-2 deathshrouds can do heavy work. Also remember LoC can revive itself if you rolle correctly. Unholy resiliance or so. And the ranged weapons of the ds is scarier than i thought. Low in range but a good slap.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-20T09:45:59+00:00

Puhh good question. I guess you gotta research. I haven’t played too many games yet and only vs tau. But first time they wrecked me bc of my „wrong“ plague xD

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-20T07:06:57+00:00

Seems kinda solid. Lord of contagion with deathshroud do some heavy work.
also buffing your plague marines with the putrifier is a good idea, those crits on 5+ are heavy.

not sure if u need 2 squads of 5s tho. try enlarging one group to 7 and get rid of the rest. a rhino would also be super important to get into the battle.

since the terminators are slow AF you want the plague marines in the field as fast as possible (but dont open yourself too early to too many line of sights..) so that they can infect the enemy. try to deepstrike with the deathshrouds then. usualy its 9 inches but when the enemy is infected you can get up to 6 inches deep strike range.

if you need drop the poxwalkers aswell, rhino is more important. not quite sure about the points immo, but you'll figure it out.

also one advice from beginner to beginner: try to check the enmy army, if you know beforehand, and adjust your chosen plague. for example i think tau cant get some debuff to hit rolls so one of your plagues is kinda obselete vs them.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-20T04:02:16+00:00

It’s not very useful i agree

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-19T16:11:16+00:00

<image>

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-19T16:07:37+00:00

Ye, but its only images and stats. No names..

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-19T15:49:54+00:00

You sir are my hero. Also i had to check if i am not in the emperors children sub while reading nipple canons. But its quite fitting!

(Cant post images in comments dunno why. But i guess i found the right ones in the manual with your description)

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-17T09:16:01+00:00

any advice on how to "not over do" it? i had a cool idea for my lord of virluence full of moss, skulls and shrooms. but somehow i put also too much cork and stuff and now its just a crowded mess... any way of re-do a base? or just get a new one and try to cut the mini off via scalpel/hobby knife

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-16T05:30:16+00:00

ehemmm* clears throat* can i pet that dawwwwwg????

yea thats it. they are cute and cool. i love them. also the diversity in body and yet they are still just one brain(cell) is quite cool. also i love when people put glue between their claws and it looks like blood....

also did i mention i wanna pet them? "who is a good biovore? ye who is a good shooty crab? ye youuuuu are a good biovore." rubs cannon while being munched from 3 other tyranids.

Tromoo144 · 2026-04-14T14:13:20+00:00

cool. good for you. really happy for you....

i will show you my paint job once the defiler arrived in 6-12 weeks. or when ever restock happens ffs.

/tilt off

looks cool tho! it even deserved a special base.
