Hector Cephas; Dark Imperium Death Guard project ideas

Hi all,

I'm really looking forward to starting my 40k Death Guard project once I get my hands on the new Dark Imperium box set. The new models look amazing and its got my mind thinking about what else I can do to compliment the plague marines and poxwalkers.



The sprues from the Dark Imperium box are awesome (if you want to see more, visit our sister site: http://ageofwarhammer.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/warhammer-40000-dark-imperium-sprues.html) - I really like the updated plague marines and the blight drone, these have inspired me to do three things in particular:

  1. Paint them in a pre-heresy Death Guard paint scheme - the plague marines are in MkIII plate, seems like a good excuse to try out the paint scheme.
  2. Plague Terminators - using the Forge World upgrade kit, it'll be a simple addition to the box set.
  3. Nurgle Knight Titan - more complicated but I'm going convert a Glottkin using the Forge World Chaos Knight resin parts to really go to town on the chaos corrupted armour.
Have you guys been inspired by the new 40k models to kick start a new project? I'm a sucker for new toys and projects though I really should finish them!

Until next time,

Hector Cephas

    We've seen pictures of new GW plague terminators so don't jump the gun yet! Probably coming with the full nurgle release that includes demon Mortarion

      Also I was thinking along the same lines as you but using the primaris marines and painting them as pre heresy death guard. The idea being the imperium restored the old legions to fight chaos, but made up of primaris marines. I also have all my paintedMK3 marines that will serve as regular marines so I can use them in 8th edition. Eventually I want the force to be led by Garro for fluff reasons, like Garro returns to lead a reborn death guard against their mutated genesires

      If you wanted a restored legion, I'd say paint them as Dusk Raiders, not Death Guard.

      Good thing i haven't invested - i completely missed the terminators rumours, probably due to Mortarian drawing my attention :p

      Dusk Raiders, now that is an awesome idea!

      True true, the dusk raiders would be an interesting choice, but my idea would be to bring any former death guard back as there were a few that stayed loyal with Garro

    I've stolen the Death Guard during the Siege of Terra idea from Atia with additional twist I want them to be the "loyal" 7th so they can have a face off with Garro.

    If you want a Nurgle Knight, here's a great head swap for one:

      Nice! Will have to experiment with the helmets I have as they're going to be covering/replacing the glottkin's head but that looks like an awesome head replacement

    I'm thinking about painting the primairus as blood ravens, and them getting the chapter master from forge world when it gets released.
