Death Guard marine #12

I'm doing well this week. I'm almost becoming prolific or something!!

Here's another plague marine, following my usual colour scheme...

























Something strange has also been bothering me this week.  It's had an unexpected effect on me.
A guy called Tony Sly from an American punk rock band called No Use For A Name was found dead earlier this week.  41 years old. That's only 6 years older than me.  It kind of makes a dude feel quite mortal when somebody from the same larger sub-culture, of roughly the same generation pops it..

It'd been a while (12 - 14 years!!) since I'd listened to them, as they'd not released anything that I'd been too interested in for 12 - 14 years (probably coinciding with Chris Shifflet joining Foo Fighters, actually).  Sad times.  I've been having a bit of a nostalgia trip. Here's a clip of Tony doing a tune acoustic style with Joey Cape from Lagwagon. R.I.P.

Death Guard marine #7

Yes, I counted them up the other day.  I now have an accurate idea of how little of this force I have painted.
I really ought to stop building stuff for a bit and do more painting.]

But, hey, I really quite enjoy building stuff.

Anyway, I worked on this guy earlier this week, so I thought I'd put a few pictures up.  As standard, I've not painted the base. Again.  I really need to figure out exactly what I want to do with these bases.  Ideally I want to tie them in some how with the waterworks themes bases I've mounted some of the other stuff on.  If anybody has any bright ideas, I'd love to hear them!

Powders of dubious repute...

I nearly shat myself. Maelstrom managed to send something 2nd class and it arrived a day later.

And these be the colours.  I'll be using them for the bases on my models, and also on the tanks.
T'other day, as we say in Yorkshire, I ordered some Vallejo weathering pigments, for weathering stuff and the like.  I got the Rust and Oil set.  Looking forward to learning to work with this stuff. I predict many tragic experiments in my future.
