Hey guys,

Being a massive fan of Nurgle, and the Death Guard in particular with a large 40k army, naturally I got majorly excited when Calas Typhon ( and later Mortarion!) were released.

Now I have NEVER played 30k, do not own ANY 30k besides this guy and have never really wanted to start a 30k army. I bought this guy mainly because I had always wondered what Typhus would look like without his helmet and thought it would be cool having a before and after of him !

He has sat in his box pretty much since he was released, however last night browsing some 30k legions and becoming just a tad inspired, I decided to dust him off and make a project out of him.

I am going to try to paint as much as I can however I am expecting things to get a bit busy over the next few weeks.

Appologies for the first two pictures, I decided to use my Webcam rather than phone to save having to transfer, and am tweaking the focus.

Out of curiosity, does any one know a good way to try and minimize the gap the bracket causes when you slot the smaller base into the large one ?

I want to keep the small base detatchable from the large one mainly because I am unsure which is considered standard for a character ( should I ever play 30k ) .

At this stage I have a pin in which the bracket connects with but I still find myself unable to close the gap.

Any ideas ? (Never built a HH character before )

However, if the large Dreadnought size base is considered normal for fielding a character on the field, let me know and i'll happily glue it all together

I think the large base is just for the scenic resin base. The smaller base is correct for tabletop use. I wouldn't worry too.much about the gap, I suspect you'll hardly notice it once it's painted up.

@ EDC : Ok cool , I had thought it was just for display when I saw some others come off on Terminator sized ones as well, but since I hadnt seen them all like that I had my doubts haha.

Thanks man! Ill start painting this big fella today

WIP so far !

Only base layers down on the model and small base so far. Next stop is Washes and more layering !

Washes down !

Looking good so far dude.

Thanks EDC !

After working for many hours straight on this guy, I am proud to say he is FINISHED !

First ever Heresy model and I gotta say its pretty addictive.

Looks awesome dude. You've managed to get that done really quick!

See what I mean about the display base and the gap around the slotta base, hardly noticeable. Especially when there's an awesome focus to focus the attention!

Thanks man ! Yeah definitely beat my usual turn around time of painting models I just got really inspired with this one and just ran with it. 0200am painting at lamp light

Definitely man It really does make the cracks seem pretty natural if at all noticed. Good advice
Thanks !
