Need some opinions/comments. The lighting in my kitchen sucks so I had to use a flash. I will post the entire unit once I get them all painted. For now here is a plasma gunner.

I like it. A darker nurgle color scheme!!!!

Check mine out!

Oh I really like that.

I like your color scheme alot,very dirty looking,very nicely done.

Thanks guys!

Any small tutorial for the colors painted?
It looks really nice.

Wow I'm flattered!

It was really pretty simple.

1. Black undercoat
2. Gretchin Green foundation paint on the armor plates and large "empty" areas including pieces of the backpack. In the detailed areas like the face and the "tainted, diseased" areas I did a heavy drybrush of Gretchin Green so that the black undercoat would peak through.
3. Mithril Silver on the shoulder plate linings, plates on the backpack, and boot linings. (I actually am using P3 Pig Iron on the other models in this squad)
4. Rotting Flesh on any horns and/or skulls
5. Red Gore on the plasma gun
6. Wash the whole darn thing with lots of Devlan Mud (this gives the metal rust and shades the Gretchin Green areas making everything dirty)
7. Highlighted raised green areas back up with Gretchin Green using some drybrushing and regular brushing in areas. I was real selective here. Any "lining" highlights were done with really thin lines. I didn't highlight all raised areas, again really selective. I didn't want him to have a squeaky clean paint job
8. Highlighted Red Gore with Blood Red
9.Highlighted the rusty Mithril Silver with Mithril Silver (mainly just retouched the bolt rivet thingys on the shoulder pads)

Thats about it. I will have some more soon of the other squad members. Thanks again guys.

Very nice. I am a fan of the dirty looking DG as well. I have a 2000 point dipped DG army, and they look very similar to these guys. Well done

Thanks Yam! Do you have a link so we can see your DG? I would love to check them out!

Got some more DG done. Still need to finish a P-fist guy and another plasma gunner. Also need to remove the Havoc launcher from the Rhino. Anyone know the best way to do that?

Your work looks great so far,very gritty dirty apearence,looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks!

Working on a couple Obliterators now. This one is just about finished. Need to do a couple touch ups and a couple more highlights.

As always,fantastic work,really like how your army is coming along and looking forward to seeing more.

thanks for the positive feedback Fitzz!

Looks fine. My Death Guard would march along side yours any day. For Mortarion and papa Nurgle!

Looks very sweet - Ive got a squad of PM's floating about that Ive basecoated green but never painted. You have inspired me!

wow, great stuff

as for the havoc...keep it, paint it and when you dont wanna use it tell your opponent its rusted and broken. very death guard fluff happy

Yea those look really nice man. Good job on painting.

Good stuff. Is there anything Devlan Mud can't do?

I like it a lot just because it's an unusual deathguard color.

Devlan Mud makes me coffee in the morning...

Thanks for all the feedback guys! More to come!

...and here are the two Oblits together:

working on the next Rhino now. this is still a WIP. I still need to paint the "Nurgley" green stuff parts, the tracks, and the smoke launchers. Also need to highlight the twin-linked bolters. But hey, it's an update at least.

I love it especially the red cartridge on your PG!

I love it especially the red cartridge on your PG!

thanks!

Finished the Rhino (sans headlights), next up, another big squad of Plague Marines!

Very nice putting all the small holes all over the armor was a simple but very effective way to make them stand out as nurgly.
In fact ima suggest it to my friend to try on his models.

Its good you didn't go overboard on the spikes, but concentrated on Nurgle-ness

Looking good I like the colors you have going here , very nice .

thanks for the compliments guys!

I was unsure if I wanted the spikes or not so I left them off. I figure they are easier to add later than to take off.

For the holes I just used different size drill bits in a pin vice. Be sure not to go to deep or you will punch through though. You want shallow little "craters" for the wash to pool up in.

I really like the paint scheme dude, i'd choose that paint scheme if i had to paint my guys over again.

thanks!

started converting some more plague marines and champs...here are some WIP green stuff pics...

Love thew GS work, but where did you get that 2nd last guy from?

I have to say, I do like the nurgly detail on the rhino.

cool

person person wrote:Love thew GS work, but where did you get that 2nd last guy from?

To be honest I bought a box of "random CSM's" from someone local and he was in there. So I dont know. The left arm and backpack are from the CSM box (champion sprue).

Ok an update FINALLY. Got a couple more PM squads done and working on the third Rhino. I also changed my basing scheme after the first squad, so I need to rebase them. Right now the count is 3 PM units (2 Melta, 1 Plasma), 3 Rhino's, and 2 Oblits. I will probably do a 4th Rhino and PM unit then get to work on my heavies and HQ (the fun stuff!).

Anyways, enjoy!

Your army is coming along great,very cool GS work and nicely painted as always,definatly looking forward to seeing more.

Wow, that really looks awesome. What did you do to get that gritty/wet and old look?,

edit: Nevermind, just saw your other post on how you did it. Very awesome look!

NICE, you went for skin where its not suppposed to be, instead of covered in green crap.

Looks epic! As said before my fave is the color. It says dirty without overdoing it like the typical crap green =p

thanks so much guys!

Wow really good job cant wait till i get my DG rhinos in!

Awesome! I really like your dark scheme.

Hey guys, still working on my guys. Sorry for the slow updates. Been real busy with work and the two bands. Here is my 4th squad. Took a little different approach on these guys. Ended up cleaner but took longer. Anyway, working on a Vindicator now and then on to the DP.

The one without helmet is snuggling his bolter !

Guess I forgot to post pics of the third rhino. Here it is!

Looking awesome dude!

It is good but i see you love your tin bitz and you need to make it more green and brown to make more nurgle

Dude, they make me sick...

Good Job

You're are very attuned to painting Nurgle. I may give you a PM when i start my Nurgle daemon conversion, if you don't mind. Maybe a while yet - Royal 'bloody incompetent' Mail!

Keep it up!



Slappy

Nice stuff, keep it up.
Can't wait for HQ's.

Ever thought about including GS spines and eyes?

Very cool death guard and I really love the oblits. One thing though with such a cool dirty look to your death guard, why the nice clean bases?

I love the second champ where he is clenching his powerfist.

Truly awesome.

Nice

Back from the dead! Been extremely busy the past few months but now I'm back. Here are some pics of my near complete DP! Still needs basing and some touch ups here and there. I also can't decide how to paint the "eyeball" area of the skull on his left leg. Thoughts?

Wow that DP is awesome! great work

Thanks! Here is a Vindicator I'm currently working on also. Still need to do some detail work on it (some highlighting, drill the exhaust stack holes, etc.) but it's close to done.

Holy that is one crazy good looking army.

Awesome stuff, I love how the tank treads are clotted with blood

thanks guys!

o_o this is a very weird coincidence but my Nurgle army is built very similarly.

What do you recommend arming the Plague Marine with?

Right now I have 4 built squads. 2xMelta and 2xPlasma. I want to eventually have 5 squads with the ability to go 2xMelta/3xPlasma or 2xPlasma/3xMelta.

Just want to add in another "excellent work!" to the pile, and a "thanks for the tips" as well, I've been thinking about starting a death guard army as well and this will certainly help when i get around to it.

Whoa! I was considering to comment on your painting techniques (you drybrushed most of the troops squads, didn't you?) but then I saw your daemon prince.
Whoa!
Awesome idea to use that carrion's wings - if only they were a little larger, it would make 'em even nastier.
Great execution!
Where's his head been taken from?

And great job concerning the vindicator as well.

yeah I did a lot of dry brushing on the troops.

The DP head is an Ogre head (from Warhammer fantasy) with an Orc boss mask.

The DP's stunning!

Very Nice!

thanks guys!

Hey guys, I'm thinking of painting up a Termicide unit or two but I have a dilemma. My army is Nurgle obviously so the troops, transports, tanks, and Oblits are green and the DP is painted in pre-heresy colors (white/rotting flesh).

Since the Termicide unit(s) will not have a mark what color should they be to complement the rest of the army?

Black or Grey would be good because they are neutral, but what other options do I have? In a perfect world I would love them to be painted like the DP in pre-heresy colors but that may give my opponent the wrong impression that they have a mark of Nurgle.

Check out Nurgleboy77's death guard. They arnt green but they look great!

they do look great, but the idea is for the termicide unit to NOT look Nurgley (since they will have no mark).

Ok got the DP based. I also rebased my two Oblits so that they fit the rest of the army. The bases used were "Urban Rubble Wasteland" from Dragon Forge. Didn't have the best lighting in the kitchen so I apologize in advance.

Magical post (make's me wish i han't just started orkz)

thanks!

Looks great, find it kinda funny, I started a Death Guard army a few weeks ago and the colors are similar... as are the nurgly bits.

They look really nice. The darker colour scheme IMO looks better.

They look very cool .Just started painting my death guards making them look radioactive They going to have yellow ooze coming out of them

You've done some excelent work MascisMan,I've truely enjoyed watching your army grow and am looking forward to seeing any further additions.
As for you question concerning a "unmarked termicide sqaud"-personaly I would use a gray color scheme (washed with black),this would keep the color a bit muted and subdude in comparison to the rest of your army,yet still allow your termies to appear to "fit in" with your army...(rouge terminators who have fallen in with a Nurgle warband perhaps.)

The daemon prince is awesome!

Wow, those are really cool and inspiring models now I am inspired to do death guard, congratulations and keep up your very good work.

thanks everyone! Another DP and a Termicide unit to come soon!

ok guys, working on my termicide unit. I have them all primed and posed....except for one. I need help on deciding on a pose for the last terminator. What do you guys think?

1.





or 2.

Good work on your army. AS to the terminator I really like the second pose. Keep up the good work.

thanks! I am leaning towards number 2 as well.

Well can we see the rest of the squad? Its always nice to have some coherency in the squad.

good point person person. I will snap a pic and post it tomorrow.

ok last terminator dilemma. Here is a close up of the HF guy. Notice the two different head positions (the body position doesn't change at all). Which one do you like better?

1.



2.

Probably #2, the champion sword's awesome, really tells a story.

Ok so I have a small dilemma. I've finished basecoating the Terminator unit. After looking at it, I like the armor color but there is a LOT of Rotting Flesh. I'm thinking of doing the helmets black instead of Rotting Flesh. What do you think? Just to give it some contrast. Keep in mind that this unit does not carry a mark.

I still have a ways to go on these guys. Basing, highlights, so forth and so on.

Mmm-mmm. I do love those terminators, the colour scheme is awesome.
Especially the red cloth, that contrasts nicely with the armour.

Thanks! What do you think of the helmet in conjunction with the body? Too monochromatic? Do you think black helmets would look better?

Some updates on the termicide unit. I changed the helmets to black and I am thinking of going with a helmet on the Heavy Flamer guy instead of the bare head (that way we have only one bare head in the unit).

Looks awesome, I'd keep the bare head though.

thanks! I still have some work to do on them but they are getting closer.

I need to paint the bases (they are primered and ready to go), highlight spots on the armor, and paint a few details (like the eyeballs on the armor).

they look Disgusting so i guess that means theyre actually awesome so keep up the good work

thanks again

How did you do the green linings for the terminators o.o?

LunaHound wrote:How did you do the green linings for the terminators o.o?

I primed the models white then washed the whole model with badab black. After that dried I basecoated the armor in Gretchin Green (leaving just a hair of black out). After the Gretchin Green I washed again with Thraka Green. After that I used Rotting Flesh leaving some of the green/black out.

Ok the gang is pretty much done. I need to clean up the bases, paint the eyeballs on the armor, and highlight a few spots on the armor. Anyway, enjoy!

Berzerkers and Land Raider coming up next!

Holy feth,those termies look fantastic.
I'm really loving this thread & look forward to seeing your future work.

That is simply amazing looking. Great job on the trim, it really makes the paint job snap.

WOW! How have I missed this thread!?!? Your army looks fantastic so far! That wash came out perfect. I will admit though, the termies could use a bit more green IMO, but that's just personal preference. I love the Daemon Prince!! Think I may just break the head off mine now & use something different. The winky head is a little ridiculous.

Duuuude, goood shiit!!!
Very basic termeyz, but very bold, and very well done!!

This is awesome now I must get the money for a box of Plague marines

thanks everyone!

Ditto that bro, strait up

I love the overall colors! That Rhino is kick-butt.

thanks!

Quick update. I have the Land Raider built but I'm waiting on some Army Painter Dragon Red spray before beginning the paint job. Same goes with the Berzerkers (I am also debating the ForgeWorld upgrade on these guys).

So in the meantime I'm working on a custom Kharn model. It's inspired by the Kharn conversion that The Vanus Temple did as seen here:

http://www.the-vanus-temple.com/?p=715

Always good so see some awesome Nurgle-ness. I have to get back to working on my own someday.

these look really nice..

thanks guys!

Alright, started on Kharn. Here are my initial pose mockups with blue tac and then a little assembly. Still have lots to do with this guy. I need to add his chain-axe head (off of the actual Kharn model), I'm going to extend the chain coming off of his left hand, need to fill a few gaps, and add a couple more skulls.

Alright, just have to greenstuff where the banner meets the pole. Then he is ready for primer.







By the way, I realize his chain-axe is kind of long but I based it on this pic here:



I can shorten it a little more if I decide its too weird
