I don't think you can post pictures in your first post. It's to stop spam. Just try posting them again.

[Galorn2]

I figured it out. I just have to run the Direct link though the boards own IMG posting button.

Nice work. The world needs more Nurgle

[Khorney]

the green stuff on the stomach seems a bit excessive here, you loose alot of detail, also a small point, but plasma gunners don't get true grit, so technically they shouldn't be carrying a chainsword, but i understand if you're trying to maintain consistancy. lookin' good nontheless

reminds me i need to crack out some green stuff too. how hard was it to make the changes you have with green stuff?

The best way to learn to do nurgle conversions is Svartmetall's tutorial

[Galorn2]

Wasn't hard at all actually you just have to go slow and take your time.
as far as detail goes you can't see it in that pic but there are little crack lines on the chest.

WIP pics of the DP that goes with this army. Is it me or does he look like hes ahem "developmentally delayed"

[Galorn2]

How should I do a representation of wings on the DP? I'm torn between a Giant ragged cloak like the ones Synapse did on his True scale Pre-heresy World eaters, or a DP scale Organicish Jump pack looking thing.

And does anyone have any opinions as to what IG regiment the guy on the DPs base should be from?

[Khorney]

tattered wings would be cool, cloaks sem a bit too fancy for deseased servants of nurgle, and would probably rot away too quickly

[Galorn2]

I think I'll give him a DP scale "jump pack" of sorts... I'll post pics tomorrow.

[Svartmetall]

Nice work. With the face it's got, a lot of people seem to make the DP of Nurgle look cartoony, but you've managed to avoid that; well done .

[Galorn2]

Yah I know not emphasizing the "Dur I have biiig Eye and might be drooling" was tough.

[Svartmetall]

"Dur I have biiig Eye and might be drooling"

Hehe aye, most of the DPs of Nurgle look like their Daemonic Mount should be a little yellow bus...bright colours on that model look awful, I really like how you've done yours. He looks properly Nurgly and suppurating...

[Galorn2]

Paint order was

Chaos black
Knarloc Green (drybrush)
Catachan Green (drybrush)
Camo Green (drybrush)
Boltgun Metal on metallic details (Tubes, armor trim sword etc)
Bleached bone (on Bony bits)
Blood red (in the eye and on exposed muscle.)
Brown Ink
Rotting flesh (drybrush)
Burnished Gold (on sword hilt, drybrush)
touchup on the Bone bits
a thin Chaos Black wash
more touch up on bone bits
a light drybrush of Skull white
touching up details.

[Galorn2]

Got the Termies painted and based, Based the DP, and the PMs as well also a got a Rhino painted 90% for 1st PM squad, and 3 Oblits 90% painted and based. I'll try to get pics up tomorrow.

[Schweet]

very very nice!
looks like drybrushing was your friend on these guys, huh? Gotta love the plauge marines for that. Drybrushing looks great on those dirty buggers!!

[Svartmetall]

"...any opinions as to what IG regiment the guy on the DPs base should be from?"

Well...there was a lot of Plague Marine action in the Agripinaa Sector in the Thirteenth Crusade (I described my warband 'Pandemic' as having fought there), you could use one of whatever IG regiments were there...?

[Galorn2]

Well I ended up settling on a IG guy from the 8th Cadian Rgt.

anyhoo on to Pics

Wow, that stuff looks insane!

[Svartmetall]

*applauds*

[Galorn2]

Not bad for a Week and a halfs work.

[Galorn2]

I had so much fun converting and painting these guys that I'm planning to expand em to a full 2.5k list (heh)

to do that I'm going to be adding another PM squad, a Defiler, and a squad of nurgle bikers.

[holyknight]

oblit's power fists look weird... purple :?
anyways, do Nurgles really use bikes? I thought they were slow movers.
hehe, those zombie heads look scary, and can't wait to see a defiler, I love defilers.

[Galorn2]

cool I'll try to get some WIP pics of the Defiler up tomorrow.

[Galorn2]

As promised some Defiler WIP pics

You should reposition the scyth arm on the Typhus, maybe put it back. That doesn't seem like a natural position for someone (something) to be walking in.

[Svartmetall]

Keep the left arm the way it is, but rotate the hand (as you look at the model) about 80 degrees anticlockwise...speaking as someone who's used a six-foot axe for many years in live roleplay, you never keep the long haft of a two-handed weapon in front of your legs to trip over as you walk. Still, looks promising; can't wait to see how that Defiler turns out.

[Galorn2]

@ Svart ah a fellow LARPer yah I know what you mean. its supposed to look like hes about to swing it back and grab with the other hand to slash some poor sap.

[Galorn2]

More Defiler and CA Typhus pics

Typhus


Defiler

[Svartmetall]

OK, the GS wrapped around the scythe's haft is good, but it still needs to rotate around 90 degrees as you look at the model. The battle damage on the Defiler is very nicely done, though.

[Sansa]

I don't mean to throw the thread off topic, but

speaking as someone who's used a six-foot axe for many years in live roleplay

You got photos Svart?

Anyway, I really like your battle damage on the Defiler, the axe stuck in it is a nice touch lol. Your GS work is pretty schnazzy too, good work!

[Galorn2]

I took the spiralling GS off as it just didnt end up looking very good.

[Svartmetall]

"You got photos Svart?"





Looking nice, btw, Galorn...but I really think you need to change the scythe's position, it just looks wrong. Very nice battle damage, though.

[Galorn2]

I popped the hand off and repositioned it to see what it would look like and it would make ranking up for CC a genuine Pain in the ass. nice pic of the axe Btb Where do you LARP?

[Svartmetall]

Lorien Trust, a European system...been playing a half-Dwarf bard/axe-wielding psycho for almost 10 years. Buggered if I know how I've stayed alive so long

[Galorn2]

Nice I've only heard good things about European LARP's (aside from the trueism that there are always some assholes) I've only been to a few relatively small LARPS here in the states (biggest was 40PCs and about 15-20 NPCs)

[Svartmetall]

Heh...our biggest event is The Gathering, in August...we get up to 4,000 players

[[MaGiC]]

:o at first I thought you guys talked about the gathering in form of the Juggalo gathering festival ^^

but then I scrolled down and saw that pick >_< AMG!

good job on the defiler

[Galorn2]

@ Magic Thanks.

@ Svart ya so I had heard those must be a lot of fun.

[Svartmetall]

Looking pretty good to me . By the way, where does the plastic scythe come from..? I could use a couple of those myself...

[Galorn2]

Zombies used to come with em. its one of the arms off the sprue.

[Svartmetall]

posting from work
Cool, thanks. I'll try and track a few down.

[Galorn2]

no prob I know it was in the Zombies when they shared a banner Sprue with Skaven, and Gobbos, but its been awhile since I bought any. (having looked at the current rules for VC in WHFB I'll need to buy more.)

[KFJ]

Coincidence, the day you posted this thread i started vomiting a lot, green vomit, extreme flatulence, and i still have a cold.

Very good models, i wish i was half as good as you

I started over the top in modeling, getting two battle forces (!) in one month, and now both my GW glues are jammed, paint is dried up (Don't blame me, blame the fact that i was painting and a certain little baby opened them, and never closed them.)

Anyway, will you ever "Apocalypticize" your army? As you seem to be very good with green stuff (Ah, the good old pus and bile tutorial on GW ) And i'm confident you could easily make a plaguespitter! (Baneblade conversion, go to the Apocalypse section on the GW site.)

Anyway, i hope you finish your army, because it's looking awesome.

[Galorn2]

I've considered it
I'm actually planning to increase its size to apx 2500 already and its not a big jump to 3k from there.

[KFJ]

If you do that, you'll be very awesome, and i'll spread the words of pus and bile all around

Hey man!

I found these forgeworld models, it's a deathguard dreadnought!

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/acatalog..._VEHICLES.html

Search for it, it looks bloody awesome!
