Death Guard - Myphitic Blight Hauler - TO DONE! 🔴

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on a Death Guard Myphitic Blight Hauler and it's TO DONE! I always say that I'm addicted to serotonin. That hit of finishing something is way more important to me than if I'm happy with the result. But actually, if I like what I've done then the dopamine and serotonin combined is absolutely something else. 

Throw in pictures that make the result look fantastic and the satisfaction I get is something else.

Coincidentally I think I recall the very same sense of achievement when I did the Death Guard Poxwalkers. I'm sure I was utterly overwhelmed by them, despite their imperfections.

Whereas this Blight Hauler is ticking every box. I am so happy with it it's unreal.

The colours are super vibrant, which does make me itch to have it raw grimdark.

But the orange missiles and Cursed Verdigris 🗽 are my signature moves and I just can't not do them.

The base came out pretty cool too. I've got to do the Tar Reeds on all my Gellerpox Infected at some point too. I've been putting it off as it's a faff. But the stringy tar works.

And on the treads here too.

Alongside the Foetid Bloat Drone as well

There is something about the Drone I love and despite the 4 years since I did them they seem consistent, yet subtly different.

Which is as it should be because they are decomposing and tarnishing in different ways. 

Alongside my Space Marine Heroes model [Spoiler, I haven't shared its TO DONE! yet]

This was a gift from Marc at Old School Gaming.

Long in progress but finally done and actually part of the inspiration to get the Blight Hauler done as well.

But they make a nice pair too.

A Great Big Chrome Stamp of Approval according to my spreadsheet this is worth 10 points. Therefore, this brings me up to 197 points for the season so far.

 

Obligatory Warhammer World pictures and painting competition

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've still got loads of posts to try and cover but not enough time to do it. A little round up of our jaunt to Warhammer World the other week. Legally obliged to do the Rhino tank shot, this time at night as we were leaving.

I loved this Legions Imperialis/Adeptus Titanicus board.

As much as we do OK with what we've got for AT, this is awesome.

Playable, but also cinematic.

The Tyranid infestation beach is cool too.

The mix of Warhammer terrain and Lotus seed pods are great.

Mixing that old skool terrain scratchbuild with the plastic [and resin] pieces.

Goblin Town MESBG board. I mean it's awesome but it makes me laugh how the goblin's struggle if they don't start on the platforms. Climb tests just to get onto them and jump tests to get down.

I had a cappuccino and a Stroopwaffel for lunch, followed by a Philly Cheese Steak Baguette for tea. The steak was great.

Wow, this Norn conversion was stunning.

While this Norn was a feast for the eyes.

Red Scorpions

Grey Knights

Krieg

Imperial Knights

Whatever these new High Elves are called.

Tzeentch

This kitbash was insane

As you can see how the scale of it easily dwarves the Pegasus/Sphinx model on the left.

Old Skool Orcs and Goblins.

Not sure what these are but they look impressive altogether

A simple pallete with just a splash of flame.

Night Goblins in orange cloaks

Like Hallowe'en Gobbos - the Pumpkin Horde 🎃

Meanwhile in Warhammer Liverpool they had some new models on display.

I wonder what you could use this for in a Death Guard Army and who you could mount on it?

And their new paint display so you can see how all the Contrast paints work.

Death Guard - Myphitic Blight Hauler - Nearly done

Afternoon #Warhammer Community I've been #PaintingWarhammer on a Death Guard Myphitic Blight Hauler. And wow, I love this. It's practically done at this point, I just need to base, varnish and add any glossy and gore FX.

But it's nice to have a record before I do all of that [SPOILER ALERT: raw unvarnished pics look better]

Everything about this thing is awesome. The fact it's £18.50 direct from GW. How easy to build it is. The paint job I coaxed out of it and its rules are absolutely fantastic too.

I like it so much I just got another one off ebay for £11.06! I need to get an 80mm base as well but have a unit of 2 will be cool.

I am considering doing the fleshy bits on the second one more like my Blood Bowl Rotspawn though. Whether that will stand out against the armour plates I'm not sure but it's worth a shot.

Then again, covering it in red if I don't like it isn't too difficult to do. The rust looks really great here. It's a mix of my Vallejo Rust Model Wash, Rust Orange pigment powder and even Dirty Down Rust [wherever it is yellow rust - the bottle has started to dry out and that was the best I could get from it].

The Cursed Verdigris 🗽 came out great too. It's such a contrast but it is weird to look at the previous post and see how brown it as and still have a little hankering for that true Grimdark aesthetic. The patination on the armour plates, with the subtle Blood Bowl decals look cool though.

The colours are much too bright in places here, which is what I love. But, just one day I'd like to do something truly horrifying that doesn't throw in some brightness. Another decal on the track guard. The one thing this is missing - numbers

Either a big one on a track guard, or some little ones on the weapon cowling. Nevermind, maybe try on the new one...
