Death Guard Kill Team - Part III

Here is another small update on my Death Guard Kill Team. The next Plague Marine with a Flail of Corruption is ready for battle. I used one of the Plague Marines from the Dark Imperium Box, a Nemesis Warding Staff from the Grey Knights and two Chaos Marauder Flails for the Flail of Corruption conversion. The hand with the pointing finger is from the loyal Space Marines Tactical Squad box.

Death Guard Kill Team - Part II

Just a small update on my Death Guard kill team. I've finished my second Plague Marine and my club mates and I decided for date for our small tournament (22nd September).



Right now I am working on the third Plague Marine...one with a Flail of Corruption:

Death Guard Kill Team - Part I

The latest Kill Team release from GW looks pretty sweet. I bought the rulebook and mused about my kill team possibilities. I shortlisted teams from Deathwatch, Death Guard, Genestealer Cults or Adeptus Mechanicus. Eventually, I chose Death Guard. Those dudes are pretty badass, would be fun to paint and I never played with Death Guard before. Luckily I had some miniatures from the Dark Imperium release lying around. Here is the list I came up with:
Champion with Plasmapistol, Plaguesword 16 points
Gunner with Blightlauncher = 18 points
Gunner with Plasmagun = 18 points
Fighter with Flail of Corruption = 19 points
Marine = 14 points
5 Poxwalker = 15 points

Overall = 100 points
My first finished miniature is the Gunner with a Plasma Gun. It took me some time to find the fitting colors and get the right look. But in the end, I am quite pleased with the result:




Next came two of the five Poxwalkers. For them, I used mainly washes and these dudes look really sick and twisted.



In my abstinence I went to Japan for a month among other things. Not so much for sightseeing, but for leisure and relaxation with friends and family.
