Hey all, so excited to finally get my hands on the new 8th edition Dark Imperium set and all those lovely new models. Today I thought I’d show the beginnings of a pair of Death Guards in which I’m trying out a scheme.
I’m trying something that I have been thinking about for while in that I sort of want to replicate a similar scheme as what I did when I painted the Blight Kings. Not certain how it’s going to turn out, but will be interesting and a lot of fun. So far I have just mapped out a basic tone to the models, given a oil wash and some basic highlights. Hopefully when back from holidays I can get these two models finished rather swiftly.
As for the new release of Dark Imperium I am loving it. It’s just so nice and refreshing to have a restart to the game of 40K that I can grasp fairly quickly and get playing. I have had about 5 games with my wife and really like it. It’s very cool and the models are gorgeous. I’m really hoping that GW will release more Death Guard models as I would buy them in a heart beat. What do you all think of the new release?

Looking awesome!! Would you please tell me how you have done this minis to this stage? That would be nice because that is what im looking for.
You would help me a lot.
These are real beauties. I've found the models to go together flawlessly so far. I've built all the models so far except the plague marines. Unfortunately my local brick hasn't been able to attain the new "Death Guard Green" color so I am waiting on that to start. I really like that color. Anyways it seems to me to be some of the best models I've seen put out in a game box like this one. GW has scored a plus one in my column so far!
Cheers

What oil and thinner so you use? I recently tried my hand hand with oil washes and have had mixed results. Not sure if it's the oil or thinner I am using that's causing the issues. Got some cheap oil from a craft store Artists Loft I think is the brand and some Mona Lisa thinner
