new to dakka, decided to start an ongoing blog for my chaos marines that i am about to start, probably be a few other things lumped in from time to time, ive never done chaos before but i really like nurgle so i have decided to have ago at some death guard/plague marines, this is my first attempt below, probably start painting it later c&c always welcome

sorry fro poor quality photo's, i am working on it

**Beowulf**

started painting the first one, its the first time i have painted a chaos marine so slow going whilst i figure out the colour scheme, was ready to ditch it at one point but have got back into it, the armour is nearly finished, i feel like it needs some sort of colour wash, any suggestions

any comments feel free

**Beowulf**

done a bit more but thats it for tonight i think

**Beowulf**

could anyone give me some advice on doing rotting flesh, ie which paints to use as im not really happy with the skin look i have?

**Xanthos**

You could try an overly pinkish skin, and then use a purple or blue wash over it, that would look kinda sickly at least...

It really depends on what kind of look you want.

**HaLLuCiNaTiOn**

Nice GSing work there!

**warpcrafter**

They look pretty good so far. The key to doing sickly flesh is layers of thin washes and light drybrushing, making both very spotty.

I love the gs on the power claw, you're a natural with Nurgle!

**BloodDeathAssault**

Very nice converting, nurgle is fun to collect. theres almost no limet to how much you can convert.

thanks for all the comments, should have an update on this one tonight

**Beowulf**

ok, no update on the death guard marine yet, as is the affliction of many modllers i have been distracted

, i was ordering some renegade militia bits from forge world and my eye was drawn to the excellent khorne chaos lord

, so i built up my plastic one and am going to have ago at painting it up as a khorne chaos lord

, and our lass says she will buy me the forgeworld one and the khorne terminator and marine upgrade sets if i want them

, choices choices, i will get back onto the nurgle marine soon though i promise

I like the power fist with dagger (?) fingers. Cool idea. And the screaming head in the sand below the termie looks nice! Paint it all pale and stuff running out of his mouth...

the dagger fingers are just random blades, i thought it would look funky

the plan with the head was to look freshly cleaved from some poor marine, there is a shoulder pad behind his foot, supposedd to be striding over the remains to his next victim

started painting, the poor light bounces of it too much and you cant see the highlights in the red in the photo :(

still need a highlight on the red yet, but its a start and im liking how its turning out

**Beowulf**

update on the terminator lord, there sure is alot of gold on this guy lol

will dig some white card out and re take some photo's later

any c&c feel free

[edit, found white card reposted pictures]

**Defcon56**

I like the red highlights very much.

Good job indeed.

**Beowulf**

thanks, i really havnt had any time to paint lately, been really busy and had a lot of work to do on my car :( hopefully more soon though ive nearly finished painting a grey knight termie so when thats done i'll post it up
