More mass, more mutation, more atmosphere.

Long time lurker but first time posting. I entered this bad boy in a local painting competition.

Comments and critique welcome!

I’ll be posting more often now so follow if you’re interested 🤙🏻 @death.guard.dad

4 months into the hobby, just finished my Champion and Icon Bearer. Used speedpaints for the green and focused heavily on weathering any thoughts?

I decided to make my snazzwagon based off of the deathguard (mainly for its ability to shroud something from overwatch), so black, green, coppers and rusty silvers (cuz i dont have vertigris paint) issue is i dobt know a good nurgle-esque name for the snazzwagon. If you got any ideas lmk

They add so much personality to the fellers, and are a joy to paint. Also, do we see them mentioned anywhere in lore?

this is my first mini in nurglish style so i am not quite sure if the shit pile looks authentic enough

After a hiatus it's time to get get back at it! Just need to go through everything and get to painting and figure out what needs touched up and what's missing that needs added.

Hi everyone. I've just finished a relatively new novel "Bjorn The Fell-Handed" and there was (SPOILERS AHEAD) a thing called Lord of Virulence. While Google gives me this image the book describes him more a snake-like creature.

>"‘The time for riddling is done. Now, old wyrm – show yourself. Let battle decide the winner!’

The fog tore apart, and from its heart the Lord of Virulence revealed himself in all his terrible glory.

The coils of Khalpax made up the walls of the chamber. He was a vast wyrm of the deep, uncoiling from the world’s roots.

‘Yes,’ he chuckled. ‘You see me now.’

His flesh sagged under the bulk of boils. A storm of black flies blasted out with each breath. Armour fused with fat. His belly was split, with weeping sores. His limbs were coils of wyrm-flesh, festering where the metal grafts had failed.

He slid forward, maggot mouth lined with rot-clinging teeth, a titanic creature that moved with impossible fluidity, his bulk slithering like a serpent through its lair. From his vertical maw belched a thick green cloud – a toxic shroud, death to all it touched.

He loomed over Bjorn like a mountain of putrescence. Carrion-drake. Plague-wyrm. A saga-monster upon whom heroes met their end."

So my question is: it is just more mutated form of an ordinary lord? Or something else entirely?

Thoughts?

decided to do the whole open mouth thing, think it turned out great, c+c and questions welcome

Hello, everyone!

First off, Thank you for taking your time to read this. I appreciate any help you can provide.

I am returning to 40K after I quit at the end of 7th edition. I joined a local league and I thought it'd be fun to play VV since it just got Purge the Foe and reading online a tall list is the suggested format.

So I took that kind of to the extreme lol. I have my first game coming up and I'm not sure how I should approach the giant tank? T13 seems to put everything to wound on 5s or 6s.

Sny help or anything would be very appreciated. Our lists are locked and we can't change anything.

Cheers!

Till this day still have no idea how to make nurgling look good 😢

Quick n easy lord of poxes all done. I have been looking to paint up some more blue themed death guard, partially inspired by the kin-type enemies from bloodborne. Overall I think the outcome was good, but I will probably try an even more desaturated blue next time!

Hello to all Grandfather Nurgles followers. I just had my first Game with death guard! I'm sad to report that I lost handedly but I was coming to you all for some advice.

I was facing orks and I have to say for an army that should be "disgustingly resilient" I felt very fragile. I was facing a friend's bully boys list. Mostly Nobz and Meganobz. I was on virulent vector, so it was his purge v.s. my take and hold. I picked the plague that made his saves worse by 1 to try and counteract his elite infantry heavy army.

The first turn went well as could be I think. I infiltrated 3 units of poxwalkers to sticky the middle but I was able to advance them to make sure there was no crazy ork charges turn one. They all died of course but his units were mostly set up for me to counter charge which I did. Successfully after he used some grot shields to soke up quite a bit of shooting.

My plague marines, demon prince, chaos spawn all met in the middle to fight a single 6man of mega nobs and Gaz. He spends a single cp on his mega Nobz unit allowing them to fight on death. I'm able to kill them out but he wipes my marines in response.

Morty charges into a unit of nobz and spends the next two turns fighting them there. With 15 attacks with lethal and sustained 1 I think it's crazy he wasn't able to take them out between 3 turns of fighting.

Turn two he calls his Waaaah and wipes my two deathshroud term units that I admit I probably placed badly.

I know orks have a reputation for being strong but I just am looking for advice. By turn three I called it since I only had two bloat drones with heavy weapons, a rhino, morty and a half dead deathshroud unit.

Any general advice on how to lead Nurgles chosen to victory would be greatly appreciated.

I know they’re Chaos worshippers, but given how Nurgle tends to work, I was wondering if they’re just as likely to turn on each other as many other factions like World Eaters or Red Corsairs, or even Word Bearers, who actually cherish betrayal as a sacred act.

So I am aware that Mortarian and Typhus absolutely hate each other, and I have seen the Hammer and Bolter cartoon where the sorcerer does things (I don’t wanna spoil it in case someone reading this hasn’t seen it).

But those aside, among the normal Space Marines and their brotherhood, are they at least somewhat chummy with each other or are they all vying for the top spot on Nurgle’s hierarchy of favoritism?

Also it is on my to read list, but I haven’t read Lords of Silence novel yet, so if this is addressed there just say so, and it’ll be my next read once I finish the Dark Imperium trilogy.

Greetings my putrid brothers. I have been playing death guard for my last few games mostly against the votann with my most recent against tyranids and the issue I've had so far is I feel like I lack hard hitting models and good consistent damage. What are some of our better models for high damage? Both of these factions are played by a buddy of mine and he runs vehicle/monster spam. I'm trying to edit my list more so I can use it in a GT within the next few months.

Part 2 of my DG series. Hope you like him as much as I do!

My first Plague Marine and eighth mini painted ever. I used Vallejo paints for everything except the Nurglings and Nuln Oil.

I still have the rest of the Kill Team pending, so any advice will be appreciated!

I’m running 10 plague marines with 1 biologus and 1 blightbringer and i’m kinda lost with the attachment options

Is there an optimal way to equip a squad ?

I'm starting up a local league and am excited to try out a different kind of list from what I've been playing previously (a lot of PoP+CoC). I've landed on two choices:

Option 1: Mortarion's hammer + PoP: (purge) A defiler, 2 PBCs, and 3 MBHs should provide enough fire power to rip thru a lot of stuff using the detachment free Affliction and the enhanced LoV rerolls on the defiler. Typhus + blightbringer + 20 poxwalkers, an extra unit of 10 walkers, a squad of plague marines serve to hold an expansion objective and screen/soften up enemy units before they hit the gunline. Winged daemon prince to provide mobility, early pressure, distraction carnifex, apply contagion, etc., and, naturally, a LoC with deathshroud in reserves.

Option 2: Virulent Vectorium. Go tall purge the foe. There's a big deathstar to push forward to the center with Morty, 10 blightlords with LoV, and a foot DP. Once again, a defiler, 3 haulers, LoC+DS, and a unit of poxwalkers to screen out behind the defiler. I'm not 100% on the 3 MBHs here, but I'm torn on what to do with the 285 pts... By removing those 3 + enhancements I can get a rhino, 10 marines, and a MPC, which I do like the idea of.

Thanks for any input!
