(Test) Colours of the Plague

Knocked out very quick basecoat and all-over wash on this guy - he's from the 3-man push-fit box - to see what the pre-Heresy Death Guard colour scheme might look like on 40k era marines.

Took the colours from the Forge World Horus Heresy painting guide pdf. It's just GW Skull White primer, Castellan Green shoulder pads, Warplock Bronze trim and a 50/50 mix of Seraphim Sepia and Lahmian Medium slapped all over.

Looks OK, could be a bit darker and dirtier on the white armour but I think it'll look pretty good w/highlights.

Forge World Issues... Solved by Forge World!

Started to unpack the Death Guard conversion kit (which is gorgeous, in a horrifyingly sickening, diseased way, obviously) to wash it and noticed this: No Plague Champion torso... nooooo!

Bearing in mind this is my first Forge World order, I wasn't sure what to expect, but gave them a call. They confirmed I had received duplicate parts, then instantly said they would cast up the missing piece and send it out ASAP! Impressive customer service.

Just a minor bump in the road on the assembly line. Guess I'll have to choose something else to build first. Shouldn't be too hard...
