About the Project
Slow progress painting through the 40k Dark Imperium deathguard minis. I put off getting into 40k for years. The game seemed too expensive, the rules bloated and the local community not terribly inviting. After a few years of mainly hobbying and playing games with my son I joined a gaming group. (Isleworth Gaming Club) After several months of playing Saga, The Walking Dead, Bolt Action and other games from my collection I was invited along to Warhammerfest, just as 8th edition dropped. I finally pulled the trigger and bought Dark Imperium. I was very lucky in that my fellow club members encouraged my interest, gave me hints & tips and even gave me some free miniatures. Even to the extent that "Dan G" gave me his entire deathguard half of his Dark Imperium boxset with the proviso that I painted and played with them, not ebay them. :-) So the project was begun and have added a Rhino and a few more Plague marines to get upto 2000pts with some options.

Plague Marines
Plague marines are coming along nicely. I like the red champion. He doesn’t particularly mix with my others but had already decided that my Deathguard army was going to be mutated and infected in multiple ways and in various colours.
Poxwalker horde
Got 46 poxwalkers. Painted over half, but still slowly making my way through.
Thanks to the gloriously fun zombie and Ghouls Kings of War Mantic Games miniatures (I got in a bits box on ebay) I was able to really customise and randomise my miniatures, without having to rely solely on paint scheme alone.
Some of my favourite bits were one guy with a whole extra arm, holding a severed hand in it’s fist and one guy has an extra spine growing out of his shoulder. 🙂
I will have a proper group photo once complete.
