Brother Gary,
I just finished work on this model and thought you and Faeit 212 regulars would enjoy it: a Space Marine Heroes Series 3 Plague Marine, painted in Heresy-era Death Guard colours. At the time of this writing, it is still a Japan/Asia-exclusive...but I anticipate you will hear of a worldwide release soon in a coming Warhammer Preview or Warhammer Community article, thus I'm sharing this with you now.
As with all the Space Marine Heroes Series, you have an option for either a helmet or a bare head, and his odd headgear invoked this image of a low-budget grindhouse horror film. Thus, to paint him, I used a sandy Zenithal spray, creating a film grain-like effect, then painted nearly everything with inks and Contrast paints to keep that graininess, so he looks like he's slowly trudging through some dusty landscape like a monster looking for his next victim...because that's exactly what he is.
I have models from all 3 Series, but whereas previously the Space Marine Heroes were simply better-posed versions of standard units, I found each of the Series 3 Plague Marines to be character-grade in design and detail. So although this miniature was intended to be just a Plague Spewer carrier, I want to use him as a Foul Blightspawn. Hope you'll hear news of the worldwide release very soon.
