Down with the Sickness#1 - Death Guard Army Build #1 - Vehicles

I've recently got my hands on some Death Guard miniatures for Warhammer 40,000 8th edition.  Right now I'm getting into the process of painting these minis up.  Below is a shot of some of the vehicles I plan on using for my 2000 Point Army.


So, for this army, I decided to invest in a lot of Fast Attack Options, seeing how the Death Guard are slower than a Congressman passing a Tax Bill.  I've went with:  A Chaos Rhino for transport, 2 Myphetic Blight Haulers, and 3 Foetid-Bloat Drones.  


Here is an overhead shot of the vehicles.  The Myphetic Blight Haulers I purchased from the GW Easy-to-Build line of miniatures.  I really loved the price point on this models.  I also received 2 Blight Drones from the "Dark Imperium" and "Know No Fear" box sets.  The Chaos Rhino, I bought 2nd hand with some missing pieces and decided to use green stuff to make tentacles for it.  



Here is another shot of the green stuff tentacles for the Chaos Rhino.  I was inspired by some of the promotional vides from the video game "Death Stranding" with imbecile cords attaching the soldiers to tanks from that game.  



As for the Bloat Drones I decided to equip one with twin plague spitters (standard from the Dark Imperium Box), Heavy Plague Launcher (I kit bashed the Know No Fear Bloat Drone with a spare plague launcher from the 3rd Blight Drone), and the 3rd Blight Drone with a Flesh Mower.  

FYI:  The parts from the Bloat Drone box set can be interchanged with the Dark Imperium and Know No Fear Bloat Drones.  

I sprayed up the miniatures with Rustoleum light green spray paint from their Camouflage line of spray paints - a real cheap alternative at $6.00 versus the $20.00+ can of Death Guard Green from GW.  

More shots of the army to come!
