Death Guard | Unholy Armament

Information

The Death Guard should be nightmarish, laden with a foreboding industrial aesthetic, and outright staggering, imposing.
In this course, we start by teaching the importance of a strong build philosophy for your Chaos Space Marines, specifically the Death Guard legion. Body language, choice of bits, and handmade additions are crucial to recreate an industrial feel that is appropriate for a truly grimdark representation of Death Guard.

READ OVERVIEW

In this course, we teach the importance of a strong build philosophy for your Chaos Space Marines of the Death Guard legion.
Body language, choice of bits, and handmade additions are crucial to recreate an industrial feel that is appropriate for a truly grimdark representation of Death Guard (Episode 1). Coming up with a narrative will most certainly help, contributing to the ever important Basing process (Episode 2).
And lastly, we will show a full painting demonstration for a Plagued Servant with one of the most realistic looking necrotic flesh recipes ever – that can be perfect for Pox Walkers (Episode 3) , and the Plague Marine in all its disgusting glory (Episode 4).
