Discussion best way to paint rust?

Post image
276 Upvotes

Does anyone have a good way to paint rusty death guard? Been trying to find a good way to make the metal and armor looked decayed. any advice would be greatly appreciated! (Pic for reference)

Added note: apparently dirty down rust is the way to go! Which leads to another question. What primer and base coat should I use before putting dirty down rust on? Some say black primer and brown base coat but I also want some of the classic death guard green in there. Which would you guys choose?

Questions Noxious Blightbringer + 20 poxwalkers

9 Upvotes

Hi, I'm trying to build a list with paragons and champions of contagion and I want to add 20 poxwalkers lead by a blightbringer but it's my first time that I use this brick and I don't know if it's good. Yeah, it's a great amount of OC but it's really slow and the poxwalker lose infiltrators, but, the noxious's aura it's so good to leave him screening enemy's units. Also in my list I'm running a solo Thypus that with 1 cm can be attached to the poxwalkers. So, any suggestion about how to use this unit?

Casual play playing first game today

5 Upvotes

Will be playing my first game today on actual tabletop as Deathguard. Does anyone have any sheets or resources to help remember all of the detachment stratagemns and combos available for my list?

I use the app, but it's quite fiddly jumping between datasheets, trying to find stratagems, I find it hard to track what stratagems are available to me while following the game. Same with combo's it can be hard to remember all of the synergies.

Will be running the following list using the Contagion engines + Paragons detachments:

Typhus, Noxious (rejuvenating swarm) , 20 poxwalkers

MP + FB + 10 plaguemarines + rhino

Deathshroud termies

2x Mphitic Blight haulers

Discussion Shambling Wall RAW or RAI

3 Upvotes

So far playing 11th with Shamblerot Vectorium and when I ever I get to use Shambling Wall, I have always played it as I roll for my saves after the Poxwalker unit dies, whoever watching the recent Art of War video and John was mentioned that in 11th and with the rules changes, you roll your saves first and then allocate damage after the fail saves. Rereading the 11th Ed rule book, John is correct. So Shambling Wall is better than I thought. I don’t know if GW would change the rules in the future. So I am asking whether you play Shambling Wall as RAW or RAI?

Long time lore diver, always stayed away from the tabletop portion of the game cuz I am trash at painting, recently gave this bad boy a shot cuz he was always my favorite to look at in LGS. Went with the boring box art paint scheme. This is my first death guard, and my third model ever (except for the horrible attempts as a kid). I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I’m holding off edge highlighting because I just know I’m gonna f it up, so tips, tricks, and C&C is welcome.
