As you may have noticed, the site changed. I migrated from a static website to this one working off Wordpress. This change will allow me to update the site more often and is a lot easier to work with in general. I have included a great image gallery as well, though sadly no new pictures just yet. Which brings me to my next point.

New Army: With the release of Forge World plague marines I have decided to simply re-do almost my entire army. This would mark the third time I have started a Death Guard force. The new models are simply too nice to not use. I have never been happy with the metal plague marines so finally I can have the figures I always wanted. Big thanks to Forge World for turning out such wonderful models. Once I have the new figs I will be cycling out the current ones as I paint them. I am likely to sell the current army once this is done and will announce the eBay listing if I decide to do so.

The new site will showcase this process so expect more frequent updates. I know its been a LONG time since anything new happened around here. I was out of the hobby for the most part due to a variety of things, but I am back into things and excited to get started.

Forums: This has been posted on several websites, but the old deathguard.org forums are no more and will not be coming back. The Bolter and Chainsword has a dedicated Nurgle section and that will function as the “official” forum for Death Guard talk. In the next few months there will be a deathguard.org specific skin for the B&C as well. I would like to once again thank all the contributing members of the old forums, especially the moderators. The place seems to be fondly remembered.

In addition to the terminator bitz Forge World has announced plague marines. I could not be happier with these sculpts. They capture exactly what Death Guard should look like in my opinion. Love the MKIII armor and the champion thats a direct sculpt of an older piece of artwork. More pictures here: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/dgpa.htm

Forge World announced resin Death Guard conversion bitz for Plague Terminators. Very excited about this as the models look great. The champion’s head is a little off is my only real complaint; it looks too low in the armor. Check them out here:

When the twenty Primarchs of the Space Marine Legions were scattered across the galaxy in a mysterious accident, one came to rest on the planet Barbarus, a world wreathed in poisonous fog. The population of the world was split into two groups: the controlling warlords; necromancers with fantastic powers along with the human settlers, who had been trapped on the planet millennia before and were now forced to eke out an existence in the poison-free valleys of the planet, fearing the wrath of the warlords and their creations.
