Hi all,

This week's youtube vid sees me cracking on with more Kill Team. Had a ton of fun with some kitbashing in this one. Hope you're enjoying them.

Cheers, Henry

I really liked this and you pulled it back too! I followed a similar pattern when I painted mine and will pop a photo up for you if I can remember the link to post pics too!

Love these Henry. Another top top inspiring session. I’m with you, why speed paint, just enjoy the process

These turned out great! I love all the litte kitbash modifications and the paint job. It’s a beautiful scheme, the copper oxide accents work incredibly well with the olive green. 100% agree regarding Death Guard minis being a bit too comical, I wish they’d make the tentacles and horns and maws and such optional. I really dig the battered and corroded armor but the fleshy bits and blisters just aren’t my thing. Regarding Kill Teams… you’ve already painted Kroot so maybe it’s a bit of a repeat but personally I think the Farstalkers are aesthetically still one of the top teams out there. Anyway, looking forward to more Kill Team content and the slow paint videos!

You smashed this one Henry - great looking scheme that totally achieved the aesthetic you were after. Personally I’m a big fan of both the ‘over-the-top’ Death Guard and the ‘somber’ Death Guard looks; it’s really nice to see an approach that stays true to them while doing something a bit different. As for votes for kill teams, I’ll put my hand up for the Sisters of Battle, as it would be cool to see what you do with the weird models in that box (assuming it’s still the same - I’m a bit out of touch right now). Cheers!

Collecting Death Guard at least for me, Has been really forgiving when it comes to both painting and kit bashing due to the fact you can hide things your not happy with or mistakes your not sure what to do with. It be nice to share the Deamon Prince I kit bashed for my army built up off a Guilliman.

Love this one man! How is the MDF terrain btw? I was pretty surprised to see GW release mdf

Really enjoyed seeing your conversion work and painting process. It never fails to get the hobby gears turning in my head. Ive been doing something you should never do a lot recently and thats been looking at the comments on warhammer official posts on IG and Ive been seeing a lot of complaints about the lack of detail on some of the new BA releases. I think too much detail can be overwhelming and turn the process into a bit of a chore. I found myself snipping a lot of stuff off my old BA kits. But like you say its better to have the option to remove some detail than have none. There must be a happy medium somewhere!

These are looking great, I have challenged myself to paint one kill team per month, Ork Kommandos are done and working on the Kasrkin. These are a real inspiration and will definitely use some of the tips when I do mine. Totally agree on the speed painting, I just enjoy the process of painting at my pace.

Conversions are great, I agree that the sculpts are a bit too whimsical for the grimdark universe of 40k. The sword in particular is perfect… now I’ll have to track one down!

This video gave me the inspiration to convert my own starter set Death Guard and I’m thrilled I did. Thanks Henry!

What a great insight and message there at the end!
