As a new Crawdad I have to say, it would be amazing to see you paint up either a Death guard killteam or go all out for a small 500-1000 point actual force of em.
Please, for the love of nurgle, please make more nurgle kitbash's cause there's so much potential. Also, great kitbash, by the way. Really good paint job to.
Tragic that you had to destroy that mini, but this is one of the cleanest kitbashes you've done, while keeping to a wildly new silhouette and vibe. I wish they'd sell this guy solo, somehow. He is to the regular DG lords, what the Indomitus Overlord was to regular Necron Oberlords
I know.. the thought of destroying part of it was in the back of my mind for the entirety of the project... but I can confidently say that it was worth it. It really is a shame the dark imperium minis are outta print. tbh, I feel like they were the best models in the new age deathguard line.
A very solid build! A good alternative to waiting for the wings to attach would be pinning the wings and then slopping sprue goo around the wings. I gotta hunt down that fly head it's so cool!
Probably the coolest looking daemon prince of Nurgle I’ve ever seen. You really made good use of the mini’s space. It makes me want to get up and say, “Boy, I sure would LOVE to see some more DEATH GUARD.”
For the wings you could put a pin between the two parts after dry fitting. Then plastic glue as normal. The pin should help hold the parts in the right place so you don't have to hold the parts in place yourself.
I literally was tping this same thing out as I watched and then saw your comment. Great minds think alike and all that. I don't even bother using superglue for the pin, I just put sprue goo in the pin hole and then insert the pin.
That looks awesome!! I have some suggestions for you to consider next time when building minis: 1. For any contact points that are quite small or may break easily, you might want to use pinning 2. The super glue + pva glue technique is great for making stringy, sinewous fleshy look Hope these will help
this is such a beautiful model and paint scheme! I recently bought the death guard combat patrol, and this has given me enough inspiration for me to paint them.
Awesome mini and paintjob, this is so cool! Whne you said "lord of the flies" I thought of the book, and thought you where gonna be putting a pigs head on him, SAW style
I'm wondering how the Mechanicus Da Vinchi flight suit guy wings would look for a giant cybernetic fly made out of the rest of the plague drone... maybe a demon engine or some kind of Nurgal iron warriors flying bio-mechanical abomination or a Dark Mechanicus magos connected to it by a ribbed tube coming out the back of his head like Dr Channard after becoming a Cenobitein Hellraser two.
I used that head to convert a termie sorcerer myself. and I can confirm that it is, in fact, a really huge melon. You wouldn't thinm a head made for a Plague Marine would be too big for a Terminator... Edit: boy, would I sure love to see you model / paint more deathguard... especially from Dark Imperium!
@@MishMashPainting I only like about 50% of the Death Guard heads. But the ones I do like, are awesome. It's a shame they only made one of that particular one. Although there is a similar one in the Plaguebringer set.
