Before reading the excellent Horus Heresy Novel “ Flight of the the Eisenstein” I always disliked the Death Guard. To be honest the whole Chaos gods - and the Lord of Decay in particular - idea of 40K is not appealing at all to me. The Horus Heresy books changed that a lot. I really liked the way Garro acted and even more in the following short stories centred on him.

So when Forge World previewed the Death Shroud Terminators I was hooked. So time for a start - 1st test minis painted.

I will use the minis also when playtesting my Victory Decision SciFi rules, so expect a lot more in the next months.

I was also positively surprised how well the HH Marines Mk III scales up next to a Forge World Imperial Guard. The Marine DOES look big enough!

To be fair that is quite a nice mini although I am certainly not a GW/FW fan, the paint however is lovely. Great colour choices and execution. Now get some more done.

Gorgeous. I'm all about Death Guard in 40k to be honest. Pre and Post-Heresy. You got the termies too then? Looking forward to seeing more.

Not yet, but I think I will eventually get me Mortarion and his Death Shroud Bodyguard, all mounted in a Spartan Assault tank...

I really like the Horus Heresy books and would really like to game that with the forge world miniatures, maybe this thread is the eye candy I need!

Beautiful painting as always Agis!

Superb Agis! The Heresy period is very tempting.

Very nice, is there going to be more?

I remember reading Garro's back story way back in the space marine (first edition epic) rulebook.. Flight of the eisenstein brought this to life and when the viral bombs hit it was a genuinely emotional moment.

Lovely painting Agis as ever. The price tag of forge world stuff will always preclude me from getting any in any number, but ive plenty of old school minis to work on.

Keep em coming mate.

Absolutely, a Dreadnought and a tanks are already primed and partly painted.
4 more Marines and an Apothecary are being built.

Apothecary? Voyen I supposed. Do you plan to paint Iacton Qruze too?

They look nice, but the excessive price of Forge World kit will always put me off.

Great stuff, Agis, beautiful paintwork!

I admit that each of the HH novels (all of them except Abyss) that I have read has given me several ideas for projects in the 40k universe.
I did have a Death Guard army many years ago and will always have a soft spot for them, so I will be following this thread avidly and let you do all the hard work and pretend they are mine.
That way I dont have to buy/make/paint anything but can get the feeling that I have.

Thank you, Agis!

Haven't thought about it, but Voyen would make sense.
