Spotlight: Pandemic

This week has gone by fast. Feels like it was only yesterday that I sat down to write the last Spotlight post. Damn exams sucking the life out of everything. Anyway, this week looks at Svartmetall's Death Guard over on RelicNews. To be perfectly honest I have no idea how I came across these disgustingly good worshippers of Nurgle... but in a sick and twisted way I'm glad that I did.


Would you believe that this conversion is back from when he first started the army, which is also when he got into 40K. They only get better from here.

One of the great things about Svartmetall is that he uses alot of Old School Artwork for inspiration such as the plague marine below.


The face only a mother could love.
Say Cheese


It is things like the tongues on that Dreadnought that gives a personal touch to these conversions.

The above Plague Marine was used in a tutorial to show how to create a rotting gut. Click the picture to see the highly detailed tutorial. The thread also has other tutorials like how to create an Old School styled bloated Plague Marine an example can be seen above.



I really like the Obliterator arm... but I'm sure my Imaginary Friends are wondering why haven't I included any pictures of painted miniatures. Well click the image below to see a collection of Svartmetall's painted minions.


Edit - found where I first discovered Svartmetall.
