These Obliterators could only possibly be even more awesome if they were World Eaters

And that defiler is truly hideous...again, in a good way.

Don't get me wrong, seeing your work is fantastic, but getting back to my own models afterwards is always kind of depressing...

Incorrect. Death Guard and Iron Warriors are superior to the World Eaters; thus, the only way they could be of a level of awesomeness that's greater than or equal to these would be if they were Iron warriors.

But yes, I'm liking them FAR more now that they're got some paint on them! And that Defiler...just so deliciously evil!

Amazed!

Thanks a lot guys, as always I appreciate the kind words.

How is it that a Nurgle army looks so damn good?

Because father Nurgle loves you!

everything is looking good, although where is the cannon on the defiler??

Love the freaky defiler! Looks like a fearsome war engine and a nightmare. Great work!

See that big mouth-looking thing that happens to be a mouth? It's gotta go SOMEWHERE, you know...

I think it was back several pages, it was suggested that the mouth should be a bio-cannon.

I don't know if that is what he is going with, but I would accept it if I was playing against him. Hell, I'd let walk all over the board just to see this army in person!

Exactly.

Thanks for the kind words - I just got my butt kicked by a Deathwing army and a Tyranid army today, but I'm learning.

I'm a bit stumped on how to bling the rhino some more - any ideas? Especially the top of it seems to be a bit lacking.

You could nail some bodies to the sides of the rhino, going for that crucified guardsman look. (happy easter?) If you don't feel like going as far as bodies, maybe just some trophies on the sides and top. Either way, I'm sure it'll come out fine with paint on it.

Looks a bit industrial, So if you have any wire mesh of the kind to use for fencing, just lay it over the top with holes for the hatch, as a sort of cover if you get what I mean. Some barbed wire, or additional armor plates I think would look cool too. Anything you could make rusty, pretty much. Aside from that you never can go wrong with corpses, some blunt spikes and such, and chains if you got em.

Something on the exhaust pipes on the side maybe? A nurgle dude manning the twin linked bolter could always help (fused to it perhaps?)

These are awesome! But don't forget your World Eaters!

Stellar work! Your painting just gets betetr and better all the time!

I honestly want to stop painting everytime i see your work and realize I will never be that good!

That Said Great Work Man!

Thanks a lot guys - really appreciate it all. And thanks for the suggestions for the Rhino - it's coming along a little better now.

I'm working on the second unit of plaguemarines - the base colours are done, now for the details. Tonight I did a bit of freehand on the standard, I'm pretty happy with it:



The whole unit:

Fantastic job on the standard. It's quite creepy, and it fits the army really well. The only suggestion I can offer is to maybe bring out the red in the worms so that it contrasts with the green and bone. The added brightness might help a little more to pull the eye to the banner. Also, did you just freehand it, or do you have some special secret recipe?

Standard is looking good. I quite like the subdued colours on the banner. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Wow Guita... that freehand is really incredible. No idea how you manage it, but I love it all the same. Just the perfect touch to make the unit something very special. Well done!

Incredible blog! I think you are probably on a par with Tim Burton for imagining crazy twisted monsters and surreal worlds.

Don't happen to have a quick rundown on the paint scheme for the death guard? I really happen to like the white pre-dirtying.

Again, excellent work. As I like dynamic poses, I think the zerkers are my fav.

Prime12357: No tricks, just patience and thinned paint.

Lurker: Sure thing, it's incredibly easy; I prime skull white, paint the trims slightly thinned down knarloc green, and wash all over with 1:1 thinned down Devlan mud. The recesses are lined with badab black.

Nice job on the battle standard. And I love the paint scheme on the Deathguard. The white tones bring out the details on the models. Looking really good.

That banner is epic, nothing else to say.

Great job, I love the free hand

Thanks a lot, guys.

I've finally converted "The Strain" (counts as Khorne Berzerkers with champion) - you can read the fluff for them on an earlier page. Basically daemon-virus infected marines, led by a dark Magos/apothecary:

Awesome job, once again. The magos is a great kitbash, and the greenstuffing on the rest of the lads is top-notch. I like them a lot

Those strain guys are brilliant!

How did you do the heads? Upside down ork heads?

Thanks a lot.

Actually they're upside down pink horror heads - with the eyes scraped away. The tendrils are dryad branches.

Would've never thought of the horror heads. The arms are dryad, too, right?
