sounds like the begging of some odd sexual fantasy, but i digress. my nurgle chaos marines weren't looking all to nurgle, so i used the tutorial from GW on making things nurglesque and here are some results.

You did a nice job for your first time working with GS. I have a small suggestion for the first one. I'd add a bit more GS to go from the top of the belly and extend down over the spilling intestines a bit. This will make it look like they are coming out of his gut and not just sticking to the outside.

wow, thats honestly what it was missing! i was wondering what was bothering me. Thanks!

Ars has it EXACTLY right.

Nurgle Marines are kind of known for being bloated, so bloated stomach's go a long way.

Here's another kudos for the GSing, too. Done like a champ! I'm not sure I could do intestines that well without the tutorial (of course, I've never tried them), and I've been GSing for years.


The only advice I have is on the Terminator... the left shoulderpad looks kind of like a face.
I wouldn't do that.

Regardless, however, NICE WORK!!!

Very impressive for a first time user.

I don't think I could manage that.

Kudos.

If that is your first time then you will make a great sculptor. Sculpting is one area that I just cannot seem to make any progress in.

now thats COOL i just made a GS purety seal and its rubish ill send a pic soon good work

Very nice, lookin forward to seein those painted.

hare you go

A good trick I found to making purity seals is to do them as if you were actually making one. In other, more understandable, words, roll out some thin GS, then slice little rectangles with your knife. Shape the edges as desired (little tears etc.) Place the top of the two rectangles together, overlapping about 75%. Then get a little ball of GS, put it over the top, then press down with a round object, like the end of a ball point pen (point in). That squishes out the "wax" seal at the top. Shape with tool as needed.
I will try and remember to post some pics of my SM standard bearer with purity seals on the top. Not too hard once you get the hang of it, and making 50 is just about as easy as making 1 once you get going.

thanks i'll try that. for the wax on the biger ones i used a dremel bit
