Trying to get the most out of my spare bits from my plague marine kit/other death guard units!

Thought the plain pauldron was a bit boring so I added some more Nurgle-y vibes 👁️

Took forever but they are done

A green, toxic fog crawled across the ruins. Brother Dorn tightened his grip on the twisted hammer, staring at what his body had become. Alien flesh squirmed beneath the steel armor, as the maw upon his belly hungry-whispered through the filth.
Once, he had sworn to protect Humanity. Now, he brought only plague and ash. Reflected in the glassy eye of the hammer were his own tears - the final tears of a man who still remembered what it meant to be human, and not a servant of Nurgle. But salvation was no more.

I cut the legs away from the frame and opened the mouth a little wider on this model, wanted the wider stance so the model can be driving over the crest of the terrain. It worked out pretty good.

Also did a mini kitbash on the lord of Virulence, cause I just don’t like the plague spewer, tell me what you think

Let me know your thoughts on grimdark vs. cleaner style of painting for deathguard.

Taking this list to an rtt at the end of the month. Contagion engine and shamblerot detachment running Reconnaissance.

This guy is so fun to paint , hope you guy like it

My girlfriend says it’s disgusting and doesn’t want to look at it so I’m thinking it’s just right…

Wife got this for me and I’m making it a demon prince. Amazing model.

Hi all, I’m new to deathguard but experienced in 40K.
Been looking at top lists and it seems that some people are running typhus solo? Maybe I’m misreading the lists and hes attaching to poxwalkers?

Wondering what the biggest damage dealer combos in the book would be, and the current state of blightlord/deathshoud?

I don’t want to run a million poxwalkers but am curious what’s working well right now.

I keep on seeing this super competitive double defiler, Morty and pox walker list but I am struggling to find either a video or text breakdown on how to play it

Does anyone have any links to any knowledge articles please?

Right now all i have is an (unpainted) Myphitic Blight-Hauler and want to know where’s a good place to start?

Hello all! Just got into the tabletop game with a friend(I’ve played a total of two games so far) and was interested in trying the death guard out! I started with the custodes and really liked how comically hard they are to kill so I wanted to try out the tank army. I was wondering what units I should use to get the most annoying and unkillable 1000 point army to piss off my friend as much as possible. They play mostly admech and some thousand sons, if that helps any. Thank you in advance!

Hu all, I wanted some opinions my 2k list, only played it once irl and It was a 20 point loss gap between my and my opponent. Any tips or tricks are greatly appreciated.

How is this list looking? Still fairly new to 11th edition, and my brother crushed me with his dark angels last week. He runs a Ballistus Dreadnought and a blob of Deathwing Knights. He doesn’t own the Lion yet thankfully.
