Hi all,


The first army I started playing 40k with were Space Wolves. As a way to taunt me one of my buddies started calling them "The sons of pus" (he named his army the Sin Eaters, so you can imagine what I called them). So after awhile I decided it was time to start a Chaos army.

I needed a break from power armor armies and painted a Tau than Eldar army, so after about four years I broke out the Chaos stuff and started the real "Sons of Pus".

I put a list together based on what if some members of the thirteenth great company succumbed to the lure of Papa Nurgle. I started with the lone surving Long Fang, who contracted the Obliterator virus.


the only thing left is to add a water effect. I am currently testing different methods to achieve a murky, slightly green, slime like effect that will just cover the skulls on the base while hopefully still being able to see them.


any comments, ideas, critiques are encouraged.

thanks and take care


edited title to reflect update

That name made me laugh!

Good job on the paintjob man!

This is really cool,love the model,love the concept.
For the slime effect you might try chestnut ink,thrakka green wash and varnish in eqaul parts,then heavily water this mix,it creates a nice glossy slime.
Can't wait to see more.

Thumbs up from me, great looking model. The gray armor + purple / blue contrast is excellent. Conversion is rocking as well

- Salvage

That's a great paint job. I hope you plan on posting more of your force in the future.

< Glares at all people who make chaos space wolves. Nice paint good green stuff

Cool idea and a great paintjob. Nurgel Space Wolves sound like a cool idea. If possessed wouldn't suck so much you could do some nice conversions there too.

thanks for the remarks.

here is the next unit (seven models) to be painted. They were originally plaguebearers, but after the release of codex chaos space yawn they have been downgraded to lesser summoned demons.

I gave them wolfish heads and axes (like proper space wolves should).

take care,

Nurgle Space Wolves FTW!!! Serves them right for what they did to the Thousand Sons on Prospero.

Dude. Awesome! You should make a Werewolf-Great Unclean One combo. Like a gargantuan, rotting, bug-coated wolf. That'd be sweet.

This would be a really cool model If you can build it,you could also use WHFB Direwolves for rotting Fenris wolves.
I really like the whole "Nurglized" Space wolves Idea your going with,keep the pics coming.

here is the first plaguebearer sans water effect on the base. The test bases are still drying (twenty-four hour dry time my tuckus, more like one week).



the flash washed out a few hightlights.


any C & C's are appreciated.

take care and happy holidays

you totally get some mad props on this whole idea. so far everything looks really awesome. also if you could make that nurgle thing they were talking about that would be SUPA SWEET!

THat is really good be sure to let some old space wolf armour stick out a litte

great idea and execution. Your oblit is far better than the standard mini.

wow, they are looking great, just out of curiosity, what else do you have coming up?, consider my subscribed

1. love your avatar. it's right up there with "bummer of a birthmark, Hal"

2. with regrets to Fitzz and Obsurum there are no current plans to include a Great Unclean One. However, my demon prince is being built around the nightbringer model and I found an appropriate "zombie-wolfy" head to go with it.

3. the current version of the army list looks like:

HQ -- demon prince
elite -- chosen (7 models)
trp -- plague marine (x9) w/rhino
trp -- plague marine(x8) w/ rhino
trp -- csm (x16) with icon of khorne (represents Blood claws)
lesser summoned demon (x7) plaguebearers
HS -- land raider, this may become a transport for the chosen
HS -- obliterator

4. some units were built a few years ago and need to be upgraded.

5. goal is to finish in time for GT Baltimore 2009

take care

Those, sir, are great conversions. Now, imagine a bad-ass, huge, killer Wolf of Fenris, the one from the Norse gods mythology, as a chaos lord!

hi all,

an update on the plaguebearers. the squad is finished except for the water effect on the base.

each picture has a listing of colors (from base to highlight).

just a note on acronyms;
GWF = games workshop foundation
GWW = games workshop wash
VGC = vallejo game color

At the end are a couple pics of the test bases. I'm looking for a murky, greenish, icky water effect. a couple are close, but overall not the look I want. any comments, suggestions, ideas are more than welcome.

thanks and take care

Your painting style is a little old school. Makes them look 3rd Ed. Might be the Camera though.

who knew giving the plague bearers a head swap would give a huge effect. great job!

Great Idea and execution. I love them.
Keep them coming.

Or else.

Looking good, what is next in the production line?

feeling good, Billy Ray (sorry, just saw Trading Places ... again).


thanks, and thanks to all for the comments.


next will be a unit of seven chosen, still working on the models. I'll post pics of them pre-paint.


take care

hi all,

Finished (for the most part) the unit of Chosen.

I really liked what Cadaver is/was doing with his plague marines and was greatly "inspired" (read as stealing) to use similar techniques.

The hand-on-a-ring represents my version of the mark of nurgle, the banner will be counted as the icon.

take care,
jsa

Looking great, eagely awaiting photos of the painted product

Hi all,

here are pics of the latest marines to be painted.

I have given up on a water effect for the bases. after twenty or so test bases and zero acceptable results it is time to move on.

I could use some ideas/ suggestions regarding the pustules. The fleshy-ish growths are overpowering and I would like the pustules to stand out a bit more without dominating the model.


thanks

Loving the scheme, how long does it take you to paint to that standard?, as for pustuals, cant really help here but maybe using more of them or making them larger, just an idea

Loving it and your conversion skills are amazing!

OMG Does that marine have a hand coming out of his pooper?
