Horror Guard?

Ok! here are some more pics and links to my muties. I have decided to revisit them and reconfigure them slightly to fit my traitorguard army. I think I can alter them without ruining them. (at least I hope). I need to dirty them up a little and maybe touchup some/alter some of the paint scheme. I don't think i will be doing that much resculpting or bitz swapping except some of the guns.

There are some more in there, but this post is aready pretty huge.

Let me know what ya think etc etc.

They are fanstastic.

The Mutations are perfectly random and chaotic, but the paint scheme's unified pallot brings them all together nicely

Those sentinels are glory to the gods of Chaos! I really like the look of your marines too, I'm sure when he's finished he'll look even better. I also like the cthulhuesque mutant, so far my favorite.

-GWP

*does the dreadnought happy dance*

Continued excellence Nem, I love it. All the lizard conversions are very cool, and particularly happy to see more lizard-chick ones in there

So what do these count as in your guard army? And do you use any of the abhuman doctrines?

- Salvage

wow, Nem. this is awesome. I really dig them all. my favourite is the guy with the two jaw-arms and the one eye.

the skull shoulderpad/helmet on the ghrot is also pure gold

This is by far one of the better mutant collections I have seen so far. Great work all around on those models. Keep it up I can't wait to see what you spawn next.

I love this but the one thing that stands out is unlike most nurgil - lites you havent gone over bord and that gives an overall better effect! keep going and good luck!

cool! They remind me of Children of Ilian

I've seen some bitz-bashed armies before, and they usually look pretty poor - this puts them all to shame. The consistency in the quality of the modeling as well as keeping the modeling and painting thematic are really making this project look incredible. An entire army of this quality will not only be characterful, but a joy to play against.

Thanks for the positive reinforcement peoples!! I'm still going to dirty them up a little and add in some grays to counteract a little of the brightness (but not all). I basically think that some of the blues on them would be better as grays with maybe just blue shading. I hope to have a few samples done this weekend and have some pics up Monday.

Great work, Nemissary.

Don't even bother with weapon switches- these babies are so awesome, and they have guns already. Anyone who doesn't let you use them counts-as with a bit of explanation is a toolbox unworthy of breathing. Can't imagine you'd have a problem, even in a strict tourney situation.

Can't wait to see what else you whip up!

Don't have any new pics of the changes yet. I said Monday, but my wife and I got sidetracked making up our Mordheim teams for a league. Hope to have some updates soon. I may be able to post some WIP other Traitorguards tonight if I get time at work.

Absolutely outstanding work. I love the ratlings... a simple idea executed brilliantly.

coming from insakniak that means a lot.

so, if you're playing traitor "guard" what exactly are those guys?

OK. Here are some very wip traitorguard. They are a kinda zombie-ish/tech, cthulhu mixes.

I have been working on these a little and I am going to make them blend somewhat with the muties I have posted. They will be a little grittier than the muties, but the muties are going to get some things gritted up and some battle damage too. My hope is that they mesh almost seamlessly with each other by the time I'm done.

These guys are kinda the original squaddies that were with my renegade inquisitor (the bionic body, glass jar headed guy).

I think the muties are just conscripted abhumans/mutants that were used as meatgrinder frontline shock troops until the went renegade with the help of the renegade inquisitor and his cyberzombie troops. The zombiechildren snipers are and experiment in terror that the inquisitor uses to horrify imperials. etc etc. Thats the short summary of what is going on with the variety of troops in the traitorguard.

on to the pics:

Let me know what ya think!!!!! :blwa:

Gorgeous additions!...

What a project! Keep it up man.

Alpha Legion, HOOOO!

(Also Mad Donna )

More superb additions, and really too bad you can't run this as the LatD it so clearly is. Really digging the paint on the Legionnaire, does an old Alpha proud.

- Salvage

Oh yes, I'm definitely feeling this! Nice work.

The mutations are sooooo sick. To create a super unique guard army is absolutley nasty!

Wow - I don't think I've ever seen anyone convert a Mad Donna. And I love your "Black Manta" mutie with the Havoc Launcher head!

I actually have a couple of Mad Donna minis that I may chop up. Thanks for the "black manta" comment. I kept thinkinh he reminded me of someone and I couldn't think of black manta at the time. I may now add a few things to him to make it a closer resemblence

@Boss_salvage. Its an old AL marine I made a couple of years ago... he used to lead the green muties in my LatD army. I never was totally satisfied with his paint but I finally just stuck with that scheme for him. I have always liked Alpha Legion. They are my favorites with Nurgle coming in second. It is just hard for me to convert up a bunch of nice looking ALs.

sweet - you should be well proud of those!

Heh. A couple more similar conversions and you could have a squad subtly representing the Superfriends' Legion of Doom (which would be rather appropriate for a Traitor Guard army, actually).

This project looks awesome

Great army project. Keep up the good work.

My goal is to have 5 more traitors constructed. Then have all 30 traitors painted to at least tabletop quality like my sentinels. The leader at least half painted. the muties to have the appropriate weapons and weathering and all the muties rebased by the end of march.

Lets see if my caseload at work and family obligations allow this to happen... that and I have a few sessions for about $2,000.00 more tattoo work to get done :blink:

those mutants look very good, i like that green on the skin. wich color is it? is it a citadel paint or vallejo or something?

-Develain

neat.
