Honestly, had so much fun painting the Pox’s. Gunna do a vehicle or character next to mix it up. Either a bloat drone or LoV. Need to pick up some basing materials too!

Painting C+C New Recipe

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

Hey all, painting up some Plague Marines and I’m trying out a new recipe using contrast paints. I’ve paired this test marine next to my Lord of Poxes for a comparison. I followed the Warhipster’s guide from YouTube for my LOP.

Does this look too bright for plague marines? Granted it’s a small armor panel for my test, I think priming in Grey Seer or similar might change the outcome vs Wraithbone.

The method is simple, although time consuming waiting for each contrast layer to dry. I started with Gutrippa Flesh, then added a layer of Plague Bearer Flesh, then shaded with Mortarion Grime. Thanks for any feedback.

Ever wondered what it looks like when Nurgle starts corrupting Imperial society through TV broadcasts? Possibly while viewed through a tiny monitor? Well mate, you are in *luck*.

This is my first go at analog horror, so any feedback is very welcome.

(also yes, that’s the headcrab zombie noise at the end shhh, don’t tell valve)

I like them, but I dont know if they're too vibrant, should I add some additional details, rot around them, darker color at the edge, etc.

I’ve got the rhino infested with Nurglings and I thought it’d be cute to cover it in a little graffiti drawn by them. I’ve still got half of it to go and plenty of blank space. If you have any ideas on what to stick on it, I’d love to hear them!

I got a combat patrol a few days ago and I’ve started with the plague marines (which ive somehow never painted before even though I’ve been doing deathgaurd for a year 🙏). I tried some new paints like sigvald burgundy, mortarion grime and agrax earthshade and I just want to know if I’ve hit the mark on making the stinky boys appear cool enough for the table :)

Questions Plague knives question

Can plague marines use their plague knives along with heavy weapons for example: 4x Plague knives and 2x heavy melee weapon? Would I be able to use all the melee weapons?

Sorry, deleted the other post as I forgot the photo, I should be in bed.

I'm beyond new, still haven't played a full game save for a few combat patrol games.

I saw this "stealth" update and wondered if it affected how our MPCs work in a rhino. Thoughts?
