Mezgike's Dredgenought (Helbrute Proxy)

This one overstayed his welcome a bit, but the result is okay.

It’s #Mezgike’s first dredgenought:

"cover" footprint?

Let’s say I’m building some woods for units to use as cover - what sort of footprint size do people use?

I’m not necessarily planning woods, but they’re a classic terrain piece so I figure it helps explain the gist of the question. Depending on what seems sensible I’ll figure out what my terrain actually ends up being.

I’m thinking about how many minis of different base size should fit but as I don’t really play much 40K, I don’t really know what works well, what’s excessive, etc..

Bottom left, for example, there’s a little base of “woods":

It looks like maybe five 25mm bases fit in there. That wouldn’t be much good in the modern game, I suspect, as units that use 25mm bases are usually at least ten minis.

Mezgike's Commander Thalpior (Typhus proxy)

#Mezgike’s Thalpior is done!

I’ll be running him as Typhus in my rapidly growing #DeathGuard army.

I enjoyed painting this dude. He’s imposing, detailed, but not excessively detailed. He didn’t outstay his welcome, I would say. I like when a mini doesn’t take long enough for me to get bored of it.

As always he’s painted with the contrast setup I assembled after seeing a beautiful GW Death Guard army over on YakTribe.

This is the last of the infantry from my shelf. I do have a load more #DredgeMarines in a case, so there will be more, but for now I think I’m going to focus on the first of my two dreadnoughts. The second one isn’t primed, thankfully, so it’s not too big a job!

My loaf, Waffle

Taken last month on one of the few dry-ish days here in South Wales. He’s a bit over two years old and comes from a dairy farm about ten minutes drive from our house.

Mezgike's Slime-ridden Exterminator (Foul Blightspawn proxy)

#Mezgike’s Slime-ridden Exterminator, or “snail guy” as I call him (although it’s probably a nautilus, right?)

That hose is disgusting!

Abyssal Dredge Prince by Mezgike (Daemon Prince with wings proxy)

My #DeathGuard daemon prince is done!

This is #Mezgike’s Abyssal Dredge Prince:

I quite liked painting this one. He came together quickly and didn’t have too many details. Didn’t overstay his welcome!

Rig Lord by Mezgike (Lord of Poxes proxy)

#Mezgike’s Rig Lord is done!

The metal was annoying but I like the end result, particularly the dredgeling peeking out.

I’ve included pre-wash photos so you can see just how much of the heavy lifting they do. Mmmm, easy…

Heavy Dredge Lord by Mezgike (Lord of Virulence proxy)

Scratch another one off the list.

I’m not super happy with this one. It’ll do, but it didn’t “spark joy” like some of the other sculpts. I’ll be fielding him as a Lord of Virulence if I use him in 40K.

He’s #Mezgike’s Heavy Dredge Lord:

Dredge Marine Tide Lords (Death Guard Blight Lord terminator proxies)

A while ago I painted the #DredgeMarine with the sea mine for a face but since then I’ve finished the rest of his mates.

They’re fun but the level of detail gets a bit exhausting!
