The struggle of finding some awesome death guard dice, but debating if you're so colourblind that you won't be able to see them 😭

Wanted to check how coherent the scheme was and realised that I blended a green and brown for the original plague marines and painted the war dog in the original unaltered green. I kinda prefer it. Sooo don't want to repaint all my plague marines now 😭😭

Fruits from last night's bench time (got conjunctivitis so painting is off the cards for now).
Built my second lord of contagion
2 of Mezgike's dredge marines (plague marine proxies)
Glued a dredge marines plague Spewer back together

So my current modelling / hobby plan is as follows:
Death guard war dog
Bren gun carrier
1/35 diorama... Either airfix ambulance or tamiya Cromwell (possibly both at the same time)
Hmmm...

Work continues on the stinky robot. Working on the details tonight. SO MANY DETAILS 😵💫😵💫
Hopefully will be worth it though. No idea what colour to paint the pipes on the top though 🤔

Right, #nerdlings how do I make a burnt metal effect (purple, blue black) type of thing for a melta (that isn't ridiculously complicated)
Any help much appreciated!

All of my scale model projects now ensconced in the loft until we move house (and hopefully I get an actual hobby room!)
In order of completion:
Panther
Churchill
Grant
Wespe
Comet
Stuart
Worryingly little work to show for 4 years 😅
