Now that I've accepted that, its time to move on! Refining my concept for MKV and combining it with some techniques from another blog I've started mass production (if you can call ten guys mass production). Rather than show you lots of boring pics of legs in various states of disrepair (follow the link above to see a step by step guide in any case) I'll show you the one which I've moved further along to try and firm up the army design.
As you can see, I've started raiding my bits box for some scrappier pieces (and I'll have to work on my stud-work on that inside leg). As well as cleaning up on the technique I've also been reading up a bit more on Death Guard Tactics and re-reading the legion army list and decided on some extra details:
- Death Guard are renowned for self sufficiency, so everyone is going to have pouches to keep stuff in - not HUNDREDS of the things, but each model should have at least one. This should let me vary up the look of the armour a bit more while keeping things simple.
- All marines come with a bolt pistol, so everyone is going to have one!
- Ditto grenades (maybe more than one in some cases)
- All Death Guard carry some kind of blade, so everyone is going to have one. I'm going to cut them down though so they aren't too ridiculous (I hope)
I'm not sure alter this slightly to put them in sheathes instead though - I suppose I can mix and match that too though.
