In the beginning...





We take a piece of styrofoam, a knife and saw... and most important, a paintstripper. It's so easy! Don't you just love nurgle?

Wow, that is an awesome head. What materials do you plan to use for the tower portion?

Base will be the Warhammer siege tower. You can see I allready have the bottom installed.

Nice. Why haven't I thought of that? A snail with a siegetower as shell, makes perfect sense.

?Wow? Gotta see more!

Killer snail of doom! Thats fantastic!

Slugs ftw.
Awesome.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude! That rules! Just amazing...echt eng!

By the way, do you have a close up of that Land Raider?

poor,poor guardsmen...

Looking good so far! I suggest you put another tower on top of that one to get the right size, these things are supposed to be huge, two or three battle cannons and such if I'm not mistaken.

It's bigger than it looks. Making it bigger would make it out of proportion. There will be a platform on top of it, adding 1-2 inches with the plague mortar. There will be enough room at the front to place 2 demolisher cannons and a plague cannon.

i had the smae idear of useing a giant slug for my plage towe..but mines a bit cuter looking tho.

The snail is not finished yet, but it's getting there. Now I am working on the tower. All very WIP as of yet but when it's getting shape I'll post an update.

Great work! The colors on the snail are ace and I like what you did with the tower so far. I'm totally gonna rip off your ideas when I'm building mine.

Tower update:

wow

That slug is awesome. Your conversion ideas are awesome.

Will you have my babies?

Just about perfectly nailed the tower - great job!

Ugh. This model seriously creeped my out.

In other words, way to go! If I ever make a Nurgle army (and it's been one of those things on my "to do" list for about 5 years now, probably Nurgle-infected Traitor Guard) consider yourself pillaged.

Wow, it's a rare occurence to see win as epic as this...

That's disgusting! And I mean that as a complement.

Love it now im over too research my pleasure tower

erm Ann Summers nah too tame Televison X hmmmm ah no........Debbie does Dallas RESULT!

Yea man seriously nice conversion me loves it!!!

I love the legs hanging out of the snails mouth, and the goop dripping from the lowest cannon. Excellent details that really work well, and (in the case of the legs) are hilarious.

Great work so far. The thing I don't like is how the tower is attached to the snail. It looks a bit frail and weedy.

The back of the snail supports the "palanquin" of the tower. The struts to the sides are just for balance.

Pretty freaking awesome.

I WILL EEEEEEEEAAAATTT YOOOUUUUU....

Apparently the guardsmen did not get this message in time

Tower update:

Fantastic.
Where are the gun-crew heads from? Ghouls?

I'd probably say that's the best plague tower I've seen to date. Excellent work.
