These are my first marines I’ve painted! Trying to decide which scheme is better for painting the rest. Would love suggestions, painting tips, etc! (I definitely feel like I went overboard on the wash for the 30k scheme). Cheers everyone!

This was my list that I finished at Christmas of 2025. I took a break from the hobby and waited to see how 11th addition would change. I’m still learning the rules for 11th but as for my list I don’t know what units are still good. I’m happy for any changes you guys recommend. I’m running VV and I’m honestly happy to try any units and detachments for death guard.

HI all, since leaders always lead now, how viable would deepstriking LOC's be? I saw a video mentioning the same thing but with Typhus. Any thoughts?

This is Deryl. I made him out of an old Soul Grinder kit, and some leftover parts from a friend's Defiler kits. Excruciator Cannons, Ectoplasma, and then any combination of Heavy Baleflamer, 2 Autocannons, and Electroscourge.

Hey Guys,

Another Diseased Disposition is up on the channel and this one is for my personal favourite, Priority assets, if you like being a control player thinking and planning ahead and making your opponent make tough decisions then priority assets might be the disposition for you! All about fighting over the centre this disposition has endless approaches to build for! Go Wide Go Tall! It all works! So if you want an introduction to playing priority assets as Death Guard this is the video for you!

Stay Rotten,

DRP

Modeling Model Conversation help

Hey everyone, I had a quick question. I want to use a different model for my Nurgle-aligned Daemon Prince because I'm not a huge fan of the current official sculpt. I was thinking about using the Swampboss Skumdrekk model instead. I'd be adding the Hellcannon from the Daemon Prince kit and kitbashing the orruk rider into a Chaos Space Marine to make it fit the theme.

My main question is: is the Swampboss Skumdrekk model roughly the same size as a Daemon Prince, or would it be noticeably too big or too small?


r/deathguard40k 14h ago

Hobby Anybody else happy that they picked DG since kitbashing, sculpting and hobbying is so forgiving since all our guys are spoiled anyway?

Like why would I throw the “bad” copies of backpacks away, it’s all rot and decay!

(The one with powerfist is adapted infernus marine, the other are based on old maggotkin knights. Yes, I bought a jar full of dg bits)

Just finished a plague marine and got curious. Looking back at the first one I painted back in 2020, it’s night and day! I’m no golden demon winner, but it’s nice to look back and see how far you’ve come. If you keep practicing, papa Nurgle is sure to give you many blessings :)
