      I'm with you, not quite to the same extent(you are a god among men), but after my first combat patrol took me wayyyyy too long to paint, I've kept my pile of shame at basically 0 bc it gives me anxiety to think of having that much painting to do again

      If you get a process in place and commit to painting at least 15+ minutes every day instead of infrequent sprints of three or four hours one can paint 2K of anything done in six months. And DG can be done even quicker. You can be sloppy, and cover over the slop with inks and contrast and drybrushing and it's forgiven because it's Nurgle.

      @thepoorhammerpodcast It probably helps that I get two days off a week from work and get to spend the entire weekend painting generally.
      I painted my first Combat patrol (blood angels) as Salamanders when I had covid which helped too. Got pretty much the whole thing done in a week of feeling terribly sick but getting alot of painting done.
      As well as developing a way of painting them consistently (My marines take the longest to paint since I edge highlight every armour panel but I can generally do a unit of at least 5 a weekend)
      I do my marines base-layer-highlight since I don't particularly like how marines look with contrast paints so: Waagh flesh over the whole model over a grey seer prime, doesn't matter if it's messy. Then Warpstone glow over the green armour, also doesn't need to be clean. Then pick out the shoulder pads and backpack with model colour black (thank you for that suggestion in the paints video. That and pro acryl bold titanium white are literal godsends) then pick out the gold bits with retributor armour and edge highlight the green with moot green and the black with mechanicus standard grey. Then pick out the lenses with white and then yellow and wash the gold with reikland fleshshade.
      They're not weathered at all, I like my 40k sallies to have nice clean, maintained armour unlike my 30k ones that look like they were left in a ditch to die on Istvaan by their traitorous scum brothers.
      Majority of the leviathan box I painted when started painting when I got home from work during the week as well which I haven't been doing recently.
      I tried to space things out and do one character and then make myself paint a unit since otherwise I'd have all of the cool ass characters done and a bunch of regular dudes left unpainted.
      It probably helped that I'd bought my mum a Tau combat patrol and considering how slow she paints I made a bet to myself that I could paint the entire leviathan box before she painted her combat patrol (I won, she still hasn't finished her breachers or ethereal lol )
      Necrons and Tyranids are very easy to paint. I did all of Necrons other than the Doomstalker in one weekend since my colour scheme is just: Prime with leadbelcher, wash with druchii violet, pick out gun casing in black paint glowy bits with two different purples and highlight with white.
      Black shoulders for troops, gold for leaders.
      Ended up looking pretty good.
      Tyranids were all contrast paints except for picking out eyes, tongues and teeth so I just batch paint in lots of 10-20 at once.
      I still have some Nids left to paint though.
      I also have about another 1000 points of marines I still need to paint but mostvof those are Infernus marines, intercessors and assault intercessors and I already have 10 of those painted each (will get to them eventually they're just kinda boring)
      It is very helpful that I very much enjoy painting and would rather do it than play videogames in most cases. It's not a necessary evil to me I can happily sit down and paint from 9AM to 1AM unless I need to help out with something.
      I put a video on in the background (Normally Poorhammer) to listen to or some music or a 3 hour long video essay or something. Less so music at the moment since It's easier to have something long but interesting to listen to on than constantly changing things that I might have to skip.
      Sorry for the long comment, not sure if this will be helpful to anyone since I'm probably in a priviliged situation (can paint pretty much all weekend and would rather paint than do pretty much anything else) but maybe it'll be helpful? I have no idea

      I think it’s important to remember that most of his followers don’t decide to willingly join him. Remember, with Deathguard, it was really only Typhus that wanted to join, everyone else was pretty much forced to.
      Nurgle “recruits” followers by giving them the most painful, horrible, slow killing diseases imaginable. Then, he appears in their mind and goes “geez, that disease sure looks painful. Say, if you give yourself up to me, I’ll make the pain go away, you’ll even feel better than normal. If not, well, I’m sure that awful, painful, disgusting disease will finish you off eventually. Maybe in the next few months”
      It’s a big reason why I don’t understand why so many people in the fandom say Nurgle is the “nicest” chaos god. He’s literally the second worst, behind Tzeentch. Nurgle is the god of brainwashing and gaslighting. So much so that he gaslit the fandom into thinking he’s not horrible.

    So, Typhus is in terminator plate, meaning if you get a smidge creative with some kitbashing, you can get a 2nd combat patrol and turn that second Typhus into a Lord of Contagion
    Edit: Oh yeah, with a bit of googling, you can actually get a 10 man squad of plague marines, the 20 man poxwalker sprue from the combat patrol has half a plague marine on it, the other half is on the chosen of Mortarion sprue, so with the champion from the CoM box, you can look up the dark imperium instructions to build that split up marine, get a base from a friend or just buy one, and then buy the individual plague marine champion (as much as I hate it), you get a 10 man squad without having to buy another box of 7 and have a weird looking unit

    Lord of Contagion's original model is easily one of the best DG models out there, so it was a huge shame for ages that you couldn't get it anymore. Luckily there's a perfect scan of it that you can easily get in the typical places. Finding that and printing it out a year ago is actually what convinced me to start a DG army again. I tell ya, 3D printing literally saved this hobby for me. It's friggin crazy.

    One important thing with including daemons in a list is the dataslate change where for each non-battleline daemon unit you need a battleline daemon unit. So you can do the trick to make 6 nurglings and run 2x3 for the battleline requirement and then move the daemon prince to being the death guard version

  • @renimusmaximus
    @renimusmaximus 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Quick Note! Ive been helping a Death Guard fan start their army, and I checked the points of the combat patrol a few times. They hit 505 points natural when we added the blight hauler, which differs from their math of the bloat drone and blight hauler being mentioned in this video. Im guessing that they may have forgotten the plague marines and / or the biologis putrifier that comes in the model, at least the biologis because I dont remember them mentioning the model being in the combat patrol. Only bringing this up since (at time of writing) that point value will impact your early army planning and can change your initial purchases.
    Still a great video and full of good information! Just wanted to try and point something out.
    Edit: They mention this later. Not sure if they cover the point shift? I dunno.

    • @thepoorhammerpodcast
      @thepoorhammerpodcast  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I only did 20 Poxwalkers (I couldn't argue 30 at any point) and we mention later in the episode we forgot all about Putrifier until the very end. (Berilio even made him pop up sad and forgotten the whole episode, which I appreciate.)

    • @renimusmaximus
      @renimusmaximus 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@thepoorhammerpodcast yeah I updated my comment when I hit that part since I felt like a bit of a fool. Only reason my buddy runs the full 30 atm is 20 bodyguards since they can soak perils when Typhus does a bad brain blast and 10 backline to ensure you make the objective get sticky before going off to charge in. And also because they are new and want to use all the models they've got. No idea if that will stick as we continue of course. Still, just wanted to help clarify if possible! Like I said I still really liked the video.

    As someone who is just recently getting into Warhammer through these vids (and with recently I mean like a year ago).
    However Kitbashing lives rent free in my head, which is why I tend to rewatch the Combat Patrol episodes and I would like to share some information from a comment on the Combat Patrols viability at the time as collectors tools (the one with stonks on the thumbnail if I recall correctly).
    That information is that the Combat Patrol secretly has 3 bonus Plague Marines. This is because the Pox Walker kit is just the one from the 8th edition box I belief, which means you get the legs, power packs and some arm bits in each sprue of Plague Marines. Checking the Combat Patrol manual online, the Plague Marines kit in that box seem to have enough extra arms and torsos that you can kitbash 3 extra Plague Marines. You do need to buy some extra 32mm bases, but those are not that expensive I belief.
    As for a personal observation, if you buy an extra Combat Patrol you can get 10 additional Plague Marines (the 7 intended and the 3 you can kitbash). The second Typhus actually makes a great base to kitbash your own Lord of Contagion. Both Felthius and Typhus have scythes, but depending on the size difference you maybe able to grab the axe from the Plague Marine Kit and use that. However I think if you remove the flies and do a head swap with possibly one of the Plague Marine helmets you will probably have spare, you can go a long way. Hell looking at the manual, you probably just not put the hive on the model and use some of the remaining detail-bits from the Plague Marines.
    As for the 30 Poxwalkers from the second box, you can either just use them as Pox Walker or with some effort and green stuff (and perhaps spare gun bits) you could probably make them look like regular cultists. Get them some hoods and stuff. Maybe snip off those growths and put them on the Spare-Typhus-Turned-Lord-of-Contagion. Granted no clue how good Cultists are in Death Guard.
    Hell the the six bonus Space Marines from your two Combat Patrols can be used with the Plague Marine Champion from the Chosen of Mortarion box for another unit. However, you can probably also get a 40mm base and use that Plague Marine Champion as a Death Guard Lord. Before the new kit, I would say do that because the old Chaos Lord was too Black Legion, but the Chaos Lord Kit looks easier to Death Guard up. Still tho both are decent options.
    What I am saying is that you can make the second Combat Patrol work, it just takes more Kitbashing. Which is a fun part of the hobby to me.
    Edit: Oh no oh gosh I forgot the second Biologus Putrifier. Sorry buddy.
    (Also, the regular Poxwalkers also have stealth plague marine bits. Legs with the back of the torso, power pack, limb. Plague Marines are filled with extra stuff and as mentioned in the video, the Plague Marines characters kind of mix into a crowd. So buying 32mm bases you can make an extra character. You can probably make a lot work, with the amount of random bits in Plague Marines.)

    Death guard is my favourite army to paint. I don't mind that there is too much detail! I painted the small poxes in pix walkers... I learnt a lot. Especially in weathering with acrylics! I have the half of dark imperium and I would love to expand to typhus (maybe current combat patrol) and DEFINITELY 2 tanks. The artillery aspect really speaks to me.

    Something I didn't catch being said, and while maybe not for the very first army, but those poxwalkers have an extra little gift: they have the back legs + backpack of a plague marine on them from one of the starter boxes. I believe one of the other kits still has the front to that marine, but the easier thing to do is to use it to get more mileage out of your plague marine boxes, as you get plenty of extra of everything else. I wouldn't say to do it right away, but IMO by the time you hit 2k points they make for a easy intro to kitbashing and is worth calling out

    I completely agree with the approach talked about towards Pox-Walkers. I first started painting 40k with the Pox-Walkers from my Dark Imperium box set and experimented with colors and different painting techniques. By the end of my 20 miniatures I was wet blending and had a fantastic learning experience. Some of them look terrible and some I'm still pround of. But they're Pox-Walkers so despite the mish-mash of colors it look alright on the table.

  • @Fox01313

    Been getting a little into DG mostly for Kill Team and collecting that side of 8th edition starter box, I found the following. The poxwalker box has a half marine and the other side is in with the x3 champion box.
    If just starting out with the hobby, I'd suggest picking up the Getting Started with Warhammer magazines (maybe some fantasy RPG minis too for practice). Big thing that I found with starting to paint the plague marines is a ton of odd details that's different for all of them so for a new painter, it's a bit of a rough one to start.

    I can strongly encourage any new DG player that enjoys the artillery play style of DG to invest into Chaos knights specifically into war dogs. As they can be a great addition to any artillery list for mid ranged fire power as your Plague burst crawlers stand in the back shooting. U can also magnetise them so that they can easily change purposes from mid-ranged shooting to close combat trade pieces. And they look so cool too
