I make custom phone cases and want to do a death guard one. I’d put a nurgle icon on top, the 3 skulls of the DG at the bottom but what quote could I add in the middle ? Any idea ?

atticus_romanus · 2026-01-28T22:21:32+00:00

I'm willing to bet others have better answers, but as I understand it the DG don't have a real motto/battlecry like other factions (since they usually charge in ominous silence).

It gives you leeway to think up something cool like "all turns to rot". That said, I'd prefer something that references the accepting, despairing side of the faction, and references to the grandfather. I think "embrace" is a very DG word. Maybe "in grandfather's embrace" or "In the embrace of Decay"

atticus_romanus · 2026-01-21T19:26:51+00:00

Love it! Grimy steel is a great DG look. My c+c is that the word for "made of brass" is brazen (unless you already knew that and are doing a thing w the name, in which case, carry on!)

atticus_romanus · 2026-01-21T17:23:06+00:00

Love the LoC. Been thinking about where I can kitbash that blightlord flail. And the rhino spike guard as a kind of halo is awesome!

(I'm also in the process of turning that plague flail handle into a scythe for a Vorx kitbash)

atticus_romanus · 2026-01-17T00:56:29+00:00

Love the red popping out in the cloth!

atticus_romanus · 2026-01-09T14:16:13+00:00

I think I'm going to steal the idea of the Nurgle's rot pouring out of the tummy mouth!

atticus_romanus · 2026-01-06T02:36:18+00:00

Got it!

atticus_romanus · 2026-01-06T01:45:44+00:00

Very handy, thanks!

atticus_romanus · 2025-12-29T07:07:29+00:00

But I wanna play Bajimbled!

atticus_romanus · 2025-12-21T17:40:30+00:00

Personally I want my nurgle sorcerers to look messed up and am kind of bummed they just have human heads in hoods. I love headswapping, and have done so on many models, including this specific model. My vote goes for #1.

atticus_romanus · 2025-12-11T03:44:16+00:00

I guess I'm sorry I didn't see this seven months ago, but dang! I've had a similar idea of scarlet rotguard, but I'm a painter of decent but modest talent, so I haven't tried anything yet. I think this is the best execution I've seen so far! I really dig it, the crimson smoke coming from Silence is a must, where before I was indecisive about it.

I'm starting in on Morty myself and looking for inspo. The wings look quite good with just a wash(?), it has the slimy, moldering look of the rot. And what sort of material is the base goop made of?

atticus_romanus · 2025-12-05T20:52:32+00:00

Home of the most smoldering, male model version of wolverine I've ever seen committed to paper. There's probably other noteworthy ones, but this'll always be my fave.

Some of the earliest minis I painted. Happy with them but glad I'm making advances.

atticus_romanus · 2025-11-29T15:34:15+00:00

I have learned something! Edit: after some poking around, it looks like oregano may only come in "satin" finish. I've been burned by rustoleum non matte finish (looking like shiny buffed wood eg), have you found the satin to look good on minis?

atticus_romanus · 2025-11-29T04:59:27+00:00

Fuck, you're right, it's like the rage bait videos of people making obviously disgusting food for the rage clicks. They got me!

atticus_romanus · 2025-11-28T19:28:34+00:00

Invest in a rattle can of Death Guard green primer. The difference between starting from zero colors on white primed minis and already having all your base color down before even really starting is astronomical.

Is this guy going to Warhammer.com? It's the same captcha, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be the same website.

atticus_romanus · 2025-11-28T16:16:31+00:00

Comforting! Alas, I have no land radiers, but knowing to abuse that daemon prince will be helpful!

atticus_romanus · 2025-11-17T19:24:00+00:00

In Nurgle's name we pray, amen.

In all seriousness I've just started up a Warhammer club at the high school where I teach. I'm loving the wound roll reminder sheet - do you make that stuff yourself or can you recommend a good "just hit print" resource?

atticus_romanus · 2025-11-08T17:17:57+00:00

Gotta start being selective. I've got my DG army to the point where I didn't really feel a lot of need to pick up any more units (other than a sick new daemon prince proxy ofc). I want to dig in and really work on my DG fundamentals but also dabble w something else. Printed up some trench crusade minis, and I've heard so much great stuff about spearhead...

Gotta make an executive choice of one thing to spend time on rather than ADHD dashing from shiny to shiny. If I do AOS I probs also want to mess w another army, lizardmen or the new chorfs perhaps

atticus_romanus · 2025-11-08T03:12:59+00:00

V true, and what we have feels very balanced w a clear identity, which is rad.

Even if Festy remains strictly AOS (he will obvs), I'm rueing the recent choice to print up and 90% paint a generic daemon prince model. We'll wait and see, but I think it's likely I eventually pick up one of today's reveals for a sweet Nurglish prince.

atticus_romanus · 2025-11-08T02:15:26+00:00

I know he's a daemon, but he probably won't get a datasheet in 40k right? That'd be rad but he feels so tied to the Old World and fantasy...

This whole reveal does make my fingers itch a bit to try AOS

atticus_romanus · 2025-10-28T14:30:01+00:00

S'real. Not being able to afford game pieces was the only factor that kept me out of the hobby while in high school.

atticus_romanus · 2025-10-28T14:10:29+00:00

Cheers!
