Alright folks, here's my list for my Death Guard 2000pt list. I'm sure it is/ is going to go over 2000pts, but eh... whatever.

HQ:
FW Death Guard Sorcerer... Still waiting for release
FW Great Unlcean One... Need to buy.

Elites:
10 x Death Guard Terminators... need to assemble. Actually, need to get the other Terminator boxes first.
2 x Death Guard Dreadnaughts... Assembled. I'm actually repainting these, they're in my old scheme.

Troops:
30 x Death Guard Plague Marines... Need to purchase Chaos Warrior torsos and assemble.

Heavy Support:
Death Guard Predator... assembled, need to finish GS
Death Guard Land Raider... assembled, need to finish GS
2 x Death Guard Vindicators... assembled, need to do GS

Legendary:
Death Guard Plaguereaper... assembled, need to do GS work
Death Guard Plague Tower of Nurgle... not yet started

Flyer:
Death Guard Dreadclaw... assembled, need to paint

I may add more later. This is pretty much my DG army at this point, and I'm sure it's WELL over 2000pts, but I need to get it done and this is the best way to do it! I don't feel like making the specifics as far as weaponry and such, I usually do that as I'm building them.

ooooh! lots of pretty-pretty forgeworld goodies, yes-yes! looking very forward to seeing them all!

also, one thing one of our local blood angel plays has done if to insert small, rare-earth magnets into the fist & pistol grip areas of the marine + gun. this way, he can always change-up his special weapons to suit his needs and such! rather clever really...

anyways, i can't wait to see some WIP stuff!
cheers!

Thanks, I'll definitely be updating from time to time, either here or in my WIP blog.

I don't really use magnets, because I'm either too lazy, or the pieces don't sit flush any longer. Probably a combo of both. That is an awesome idea, however!

Hey kids! Just an update on what's going on with this...

Thus far I almost have a full squad of Death Guard finished, 5 out of 7 right now. I have yet to piece together the Terminators which I listed as a goal for the month, and I've started on the Dreadclaw. Things have been very hectic lately, job is short staffed, baby's starting to walk, blah blah blah... But I'm sure I can get everything done before July 1st. Maybe.

BTW, why not put the little nurglings to work? granted they're likely very mischievious, but at least they'll give you a good laugh!lol.

cheers!

Well, right now the reason I'm not giving everything done is BECAUSE of my little Nurgling, lol. It's kind of funny, he was born 07/07/07... a true blessing of Nurgle

Thanks for the comments! I actually picked up just the torsos from thewarstore.com, since GW doesn't sell bits anymore.

The color mixing is a pain, and it took about two days for each Death Guard.

I've started on the Dreadclaw, it's been basecoated, inked, the white coat has been applied, and now the green trim is being done. It should (hopefully) be done by the end of the month. I'm trying out a glow effect for the bottom of it, as there are leering faces coming out of the inside. We'll see how it turns out!

Well I decided to give a quick update on progress.

The Dreadclaw is ALMOST done. Right now I'm finishing up on the rust, and then my attention will be toward the maw, where the leering souls are coming out. This piece has been a big undertaking, as such I have foregone all my other goals for this month, as I didn't see it fair to the model itself to rush through it in order to meet the deadline. It's coming out really good so far, and I'm hoping the end product will be favorable.

I'm tempted to throw up a WIP picture tomorrow, as much as I hate doing so. We'll see, though.

Looking good so far man. I feel you on the Dreadclaw, my month comp has been seriously slowing my TOXG progress, but hopefully it will all be worth it.

Alright, as promised, here's the completed Dreadclaw, along with Squad One for both scale and just to show they are, in fact, both done.

It's that time again, another update! Here's the first Dreadnaught, completed. Unfortunately, it seems as though a lot gets lost in the translation of the picture. I sort of went with my current scheme, but heavily corrupted and eroded. Enjoy!
