The magic formula of brass, turquoise, olive and marble strikes again with this Legion support squad. Sure to draw lots of attention on the battlefield, but damn do they look good doing it.  Notice the halo of light emanating onto the armour of the Astartes from the plasma coil. This little touch really adds realism to the effect.  Paints used: Vallejo, Reaper Master Series,...

This forms part of a larger force of Death Guard force that has been growing for the past two years. It's such a fulfilling experience to build a large force and invest it with so much personality.
