Death Guard - Assembly Weekend

 So as part of the Mournival Challenge I am making a new Death Guard army. 

Having settled on a list I spent the a couple of days assembling the whole army. It consists of 4x 7 man squads of Plague Marines, 7 Blightlord Terminators, 3 Deathshroud and a choice from six characters (Lord of Contagion, Plaguecaster, Tallyman, Surgeon, Putrifer and Blightspawn)



The vehicles in the army will be two Plagueburst Crawlers and a Rhino. The PBCs are nice kits to put together. I've left them in subassemblies to make them easier to paint.


Looking to paint them in Pre-Heresy colours And using a range of different weathering products.


Next stage is to clean the models up. Keen to get them ready and primed this month.

2. Create a table of terrain to support a game

Adding to my Factorium terrain for 9th, starting this not finished yet . I needed more height and some Ls for the centre of the table so picked up a couple go GW kits. I have my eye on one GW more piece if I can find it for centre of board



Also made some objective markers from mat offcuts. I had to “move” my gaming table to new room so needed to down size my mats and table to the new GW size. I hope they dont change the size back…..

Mournival Challenge - Jeremy Webster (January)

1. Paint a new 40k army

My goal this year is to get a 2K points GSC army up and running. Not necessarily for competing but certainly for playing match-play games. I also want this army to have a bit more personal flavour to it so I plan to build a bit of a backstory and include a lot more conversions / kitbashes than my main Craftworlds army. 


My only progress so far is to have picked up a pretty good deal on a bunch of core units from the Facebook 40k trading page. They're all assembled and primed already but I think I will probably strip a lot of them back to plastic and remove the current basing material so I can give  them a tidier paint job. I suspect this project will start pretty slowly since I still have a fairly big backlog for my craftworlds army that I'd like to get through, but once I get stuck in I reckon I'll be pumping out a new character/unit every week or so.
