I've decided to actually start a blog for my army, now that I've decided on a name for them.

Knights of Entropy

This is the basic color scheme that they'll have, since the army is primarily composed of marines dedicated to Nurgle


Marines who serve the other gods will have portions of their armor painted other colors. Deep blue for Tzneetch, Purple for Slaanesh, Maroon for Khorne.

Here's the sorcerer that I painted recently, although I've been thinking about putting more metallics on him somewhere.



My WIP Nurgle Dreadnought

Thems some interesting mini's sir I look forward to more!!

Most of my painted minis, plus the Dreadnought




Here's a picture of my Terminator Lord
this is with the flash


and this is without it


Back view.



And here are the color schemes for marines dedicated to other gods.
Khorne:


Tzneetch:


Slaanesh:



More will be posted as I upload stuff to the DakkaDakka gallery.

Also, I need to photograph my Daemon Prince of Nurgle (WIP), which I'm converting from a Nightbringer and lots of Greenstuff.

Here's an Aspiring Champion of Nurgle, with a Powerscythe



more coming in a few hours.

Here's another Aspiring Champion, with a Powersword this time.



Also, I have come up with a name for the Daemon Prince. I'll be calling him Captain Tripps.

On a slightly related note, I saw something that creeped me out the other day. I'm reading The Plague, by Albert Camus, for school, and my copy had some familiar scratches on the cover. Someone had scratched away part of the picture, creating a "Y" of sorts. Thing is, the angels were equal, as were the lengths of the lines. Basically, it was part of the Mark of Nurgle. On the cover of The Plague. Coincidence? I think not.

It seems you are destined to be a great pus-filled lump of fleshy evil. (To nurglists[?] I assume this is a compliment.

This made me chuckle. Bravo to you

----------------------
"Sir! There's a Daemon Prince coming towards our lines! It looks like... like... Oh Throne..."

"What is it trooper?"

"It's... It's... Tripps the Ungraceful... sir..."
----------------------

Now then, your marines look like they could use a good couple washes to make them nice and grimy looking. Some Badab Black and Devlan Mud should make them look good and disgusting And use a light source, not a flash. Your results will look a million times better.

It is.

Actually, I got the name from Stephen King's The Stand. Most of america is wiped out by a Superflu, nicknamed Captain Tripps.

And I keep meaning to get some washes, but whenever I go to my FLGS, they're either out of the paints/minis I want, or I get minis instead of paints. But once my finals are over, I am going to do some serious painting. I can't wait until the weather gets nicer, and I can actually prime my minis again.

Actually, that's still going to be a problem. Once the weather gets warmer around here, the wasps start coming out. God, I hate them.

Took some more pictures today.

First off, we have Captain Tripps. Mind you, I will actually be priming him sometime soon. Does anyone know how well Army Painter primer sticks to metal?


Next is a Chaos Marine of the Knights of Entropy. This fellow is dedicated to Khorne, but the red should have tipped you guys off to that.


This is a shot of the top of his head, and more specifically, the emblem of the Knights of Entropy. For those who can't tell, it's the Greek letter Delta, with an "s" inside. I picked the emblem because S is the symbol for Entropy in thermodynamics, and Delta signifies change. The emblem more or less means "change in the amount of entropy in a system."


I did this Possessed Chaos Marine Last Night. He started with a coat os some sort of bone-like color, and then I watered down some Brown, and did a light coat of that.

Liking the stand reference, any thought of including other characters (the walking dude or trashcan man would make for very good champs)

Looking good so far, like what you did with the nightbringer. My only suggestion is to nurglify the dread a bit more, perhaps the ccw could do with some rot and the multi-melta still looks a bit loyal

Hmm, I hadn't thought about other stand references, other than deciding to name a Tzeentch Daemon Prince Randal Flagg if I ever make one.

Yeah, the Dread is nowhere near complete yet. I don't think I'll be putting any rot on the CCW, but I will be putting some spikey bits from the Spawn sprue on there.

Actually, I just had an even better idea. I'll order some of those dragon heads from the Chaos Vehicle Upgrade sprue and put them on the CCW's fingers.

Next thing I plan to work on is my Death Guard Conversion Kit from forgeworld, and I'm Converting the AoBR terminators to Chaos.

Interesting stuff!

This is so awesome. Are you priming your models?

I LOL'd a bit at the threads title and expected something along the lines of a thermodynamics-themed army. Then I realised the true meaning of the word. Good work!

Munch Munch! wrote:This is so awesome. Are you priming your models?

No he just plans on painting directly on the bare metal/plastic of the minis, which is why he asked how well AP primer sits on metal. -_-

Inanimate wrote:I LOL'd a bit at the threads title and expected something along the lines of a thermodynamics-themed army. Then I realised the true meaning of the word. Good work!

Ugh. God, I hated thermodynamics when we covered it in Physics. (This was my sophomore year of High school) I'm just using the term, and that's it. Although I might GS a banner with one of the equations for Entropy on it.

And now I don't need to bother with a sarcastic response.

I just realized that, If it's anything like the Privateer press primer that I've been using, then the Army Painter stuff should work fine. I think I meant to ask whether normal primer would adhere to Resin well, since I have a Forgeworld Death Guard conversion kit. I should have a lot of stuff primed next weekend, after finals are over.

Another question related to modeling: What's the best type of glue to use for basing. I know that PVA is pretty common, but I don't have any of that at the moment. I have Superglue and the GW Plastic Glue. There's probably some other types of glue around the house somewhere, but I don't think we have any PVA.

Also, I'm probably going to use ground oregano as grass, so I don't have to buy basing material.

More Pics of the Dreadnought









In case you were wondering, The Dread is not glued together yet. The pieces just kinda snap together, since it's from the AoBR set.

That's great! Are you going to put some of that sickening green stuff on the base?

Munch Munch! wrote:That's great! Are you going to put some of that sickening green stuff on the base?

If you look at the pic of the Dread in the first post, You'll see some "tentacles" or growths coming off of the toes. I removed those the other day, and I might make some new ones. But no, I don't think I'll be doing any of that on the base. Probably going to get some rocks or something, and a pack of skulls from GW.

Ah well, I'm sure that whatever you come up with, we will love.

TempusCorvus wrote:And now I don't need to bother with a sarcastic response

I'm like Hamburger Helper. I make small parts of your life easier


Greenstuff on bases is generally a bad idea unless it's one of the Dread bases anyway. The dimples on the black bases prevents GS from actually sticking on very well unless you cover the whole base in it first.

As far as what sort of glue to use, PVA with some water is generally the best way to do it. PVA is just the fancy technical term for the white glue that everyone with a proper childhood ate -at least- once in preschool (Some people still eat it. They need help). If you have none of that, sodomize yourself with a glowing-hot fire poker and then head to the nearest hardware store and buy a big 4L tub of it.

Oregano? Just be careful you don't let kids near your marines. They might think "Good smell = Good tase = I should eat that."

Oh. I probably have some Elmer's Glue around here somewhere. And since I don't have kids, that last bit shouldn't be a problem.


Right now, I'm working on converting the AoBR Terminators into Chaos. I bought a bunch of Bits from the internet, mainly Chaos Terminator face/chest plates (or whatever we're calling that piece that goes on the front of a terminator) and some Chaos Knights heads, which are now terminator heads.

I've also had to convert a PowerAxe with the Sorcerer lord arm and the Axe from one of the AoBR Nobz, and a Twin-linked bolter. That one's going to be a bit more work, since the only thing I can think of for a Bayonet is to cut off a chaos chainsword and attach it, but I should be able to do that tonight. One of the terminators is magnetized, but I don't have enough Pauldrons to make all the options that I had in mind. Still, I should be able to prime Captain Tripps this weekend.

One last question for you guys. I need either the Hobby Vice and Razor Saw that GW sells, or something equivalent to that. My FLGS doesn't have anything, and all the stuff at my hardware store is a bit too heavy duty for my liking. Any thoughts?

Order it online, visit the swap-shop here on dakka, go on ebay, buy it from the GW customer service, check any sites that sell wargaming items(the war store, mini war gaming) that's all I can think of.

Just order them online from Maelstrom Games. I guess that's what the others would say.

Yeah, I just don't like ordering stuff from the internet. I prefer to get it at the store, rather than wait. I know there's another store or two near me, according to the GW store finder. And I realized that an art supply store might have what I need.

I hate internet purchases too. At least with a store, if they sell you crappy stuff, you can go back there and choke them with it

Check model train shops if you have any near you too. Those places are hobby gold mines. They have stuff that most people outside the pro level have never even heard of

Well, i got my hands on a defiler yesterday. Went to a different store than normal, and they had a way better selection of tools. It's a bit farther away, but not too much.

They were out of jeweler's saws when I went, so I'll go back in a week or two. First, though, I'm going to try and put together all my stuff and prime it. I'll paint in small batches.

Question: I was thinking about magnetizing my Defiler, so I can switch out the arms if I need to. Does anyone know anything about doing this?

Level of awesomeness: OFF THE CHARTS!
hahahaha keep up the epic work

That idea for the dread sounds good.

Since your greenstuff-fu seems quite good, may I float the idea that you model the fingers as tentacles, and the middle of the CCW as a leech-like mouth?

Have always wanted to do a death-guard army, but alas time and money and money and time have thier way (plus now everyone seems to have one, or maybe I only notice the death guard threads...)

Leigen_Zero wrote:That idea for the dread sounds good.

Wait, which idea for the dread? Did you mean the defiler?

Oooh, I like the tentacle CCW. And I have one of those mouths from the Spawn sprue, so that shouldn't be too hard. I was just going to make the fingers more spikey, but this sounds better.

Also, I was thinking about putting the Skull mask from the defiler on the Daemon Prince, and then making a new hood out of GS. Would that look too disproportionate?

With Resin the main thing is to give it a good soapy wash first and then a gentle sanding. Any joint areas will need to be sanded too to get the glue to stick to it. Hope that helps. For a hobby saw I use a junior hacksaw I got for less than a £1 from a cheap shop it works just fine.

I knew there was something i needed to do before starting on the Forgeworld stuff. Glad I haven't started to put them together yet.

Well, I have reached something of a setback. I was planning to prime Captain Tripps this weekend, but the right arm broke off about five minutes ago while I was working on it. I'm going to try and rectify the issue, but I may just have to sculpt another limb out of greenstuff.

I finally took pictures of the terminators that I'm converting, as well as some other stuff.

Here's a normal marine who needed to look a bit more, "khornagraphic", as Metallifan's sig says. So I cut some parts off of a Terminator trophy rack and attached it to him.


Now for the Terminators
A Group Shot


I decided to make each one dedicated to a different God, and then one Undivided
Here's the Khornate Terminator



The Trophy racks are made from the Khorne Icon in the CSM command sprue, a Terminator trophy rack, and a random bit from the CSM box



Tzeentch





This picture is a bit blurry, but I was trying to make it look like there were a bunch of screaming faces on the armor. I'll probably redo this bit of GS later


This was supposed to be fire. I mostly put it there to cover up the spot where the purity seal was, since there's still some plastic from it left.

Now for the Slaanesh



I had to convert this, since I didn't have enough gun arms left over from the last box of terminators I bought, and I didn't realize it until after I'd ordered the other bits from the Warstore.

I used the forearm and gun from one of the AoBR terminators, and I cut the lightning claw off of a spare from the Terminator Lord, and glued those together. Then I just used the blade of a CSM chainsword, although I just realized that it might be a little bit too big. I also had to sculpt a power cable on the arm.


I was trying to make leather, like what they show you in this article: Modelling and Painting Chaos Details, but I don't think It really works.

That article also shows a good way to put studs on the armor, and I think that it came out a lot better than the leather.


Undivided


Nothing all that interesting about this guy. I don't know if I'll be doing any special details on him yet.

Now for the Nurgle Terminator




I had to make this power axe out of the Sorcerer Arm from the Chaos Lord, and the axe from one of the AoBR Nobz. It still needs a cable going to the arm, though.





I'm not really sure why I magnetized this guy. I was going to have a bunch of different weapon options for him, but then I realized that I didn't have enough pauldrons to do it. I might get more, though.

Now for a look at the newest version of Captain Tripps.




I'm not sure about the head. It looks too big, but maybe if I bulk the shoulders up enough, use some larger pauldrons, then it might work. I'm just not sure whether I should attach the mask and sculpt a hood with GS, Merge the mask with his flesh, or what.


And I made the CCW on the Dread a lot more Nurgle-y





EDIT:

Here's a preview of the Defiler. I don't know how much detail for any of the Gods I will be using, but I have hit a bit of a snag. See, the Codex says that the Defiler can take a Twin Linked Lascannon. But the damn thing doesn't come with an option for that. I was thinking of using Tau bitz, just because I like how their guns look, but does anyone else have any ideas?

oh man, I just got a chaosgasm! The Nurgle termie is the coolest where did you get that head for him?

I bought a bunch of Chaos knights heads from the internet

Ah the international network, where would we be without it?

So, finally got around to priming some of the minis. The two Terminators that I didn't prime with the others from the box are done, as is the Khornate Terminator conversion. I also primed Typhus, and all the unfinished CSM that I had.

Only problem is, I'm using white primer this time. The last couple times that I've primed minis, I had black primer, but I ran out of it recently. I'll have to see how this batch looks.

And on a more interesting note, I am almost done with Captain Tripps. I put the Skull Mask from the Defiler on his head, which was bulked up with GS. Then I gave him a hood, also made with GS. I'll put more robes and a second Pauldron on him later today. Pics will be up soon, if I can find the camera charger.

Cool! Just to let you know, the models primed white will be brighter than blacked primed.

I did the basecoats and a second layer on some of them last night.

Typhus






Khornate Terminator







and Captain Tripps. All that I need to do is wait for the wings to get here in the mail. I'll probably magnetize them, so I'll have to get some supplies for that.





Oh, and I took the little vent things off a CSM backpack, and I'm putting speakers on the Slaaneshi Terminator's shoulders.

ooh, swell idea!

terminators: awesome
Typhus paintjob: just as awesome
Captain Tripps: ...... not really liking the head all that much. Otherwise, awesome

This is just me, but I would reverse the color scheme on the Khornate term., as well as the other terminators.For example, making the Khorn-minator primarily scab red/red mix and the shoulder pads that nice green funky look, to make the terminators look more devoted to the other gods

I'm agreeing with Ex on all points. my favourite tripps head was that bulb one.

ShadowAngel159 wrote:

I'm still not sure about the head, but I didn't want it to look like the nightbringer with wings and Nurgle rot, but I tried sculpting some sort of face a few times...the results looked pretty bad.

That's actually not a bad idea. I'll test it out with the khornate, and then post pics.

Also, I really need to clean the FW Deathguard conversion kit that I got, and reshape some of those shoulder pads.

Big news. I finally figured out how to attach the wings, so the modeling stage of Captain Tripps is DONE.







As for how I attached the wings...
Originally, I was just going to magnetize them, but the magnets weren't strong enough. So I made a "hump" out of GS, and then I put the magnets in there.


After that, I put 2 pieces of wire in each wing, on either side of the magnet, and drilled matching holes on the "hump".


And I also did a bit of work on the Khornate Terminator

Nice job. Now all you gotta do, is finish painting those guys. Tripps is coming along nicely.

Wings came out spectacular, the mound was a good idea.

I really like the Khornate terminator with this new color scheme

This conversion was quite time consuming, but I'm quite happy with it. I was thinking about making a Lash Prince, since you really can't go wrong with one of those. I'll probably just use a normal Daemon Prince, or perhaps an Inquisitor scale model. First, though, I need to get everything painted.

Ok, so I'll try and get pics of Captain Tripps up later today, since he's primed and partly painted.

But I wanted some input on an idea that I had earlier today. I'm going to try and make 2 Lash Princes, but I don't want to just use a normal Daemon Prince model. I'm going to do a fair amount of conversion work on whatever I decide, but here are my two ideas:

I'll either use the Severina and Sevora Devout minis from Inquisitor, since I can get them both for $30, whereas other large minis would be more expensive for only one. Only problem is that I'd rather not work with metal.

My second idea would use the Chaos Spawn sprue, since that comes with 2 spawn. But they wouldn't just be 'counts as' or anything. I was thinking of using the spawn torsos, but sculpting a snake-like lower body. The wings would look less like actual wings, and more like a hang-glider grafted to the DP's back.

Which one do you guys like more?

Cool.

Here is the most recent picture of Captain Tripps

TempusCorvus wrote:Here is the most recent picture of Captain Tripps

I like the head a lot more than the previous choices

You should get a razorback kit for that twin-linked lascannon for your defiler..

ghastli wrote:You should get a razorback kit for that twin-linked lascannon for your defiler..

Actually, I already put the 'torso' together, and I noticed that the Lascannon replaces the Autocannon, not the flamer/ccw/bolter. Still, I'll do that if I ever get a second one.


I'm still unsure about the Lash Prince, so that's probably going to go on the back-burner for a little while. Instead, I'm going to see if I can convert a box of Berzerkers into Raptors. The only thing I'll realy need is some plastic tubing for the jump packs.

next pics should be of the Forgeworld Plague Marines. I'm giving some of them the "crucified skeleton" backpacks that came with the Chirugeon, and the Plague Champion will get the Chirugeon itself, but without the mechanical arms.

Captain tripps is nearing completion. I need to do a bit more with the Devlan Mud wash, and the wings need more color. I can't quite decide what I want to do with the metal parts (Mask, Pauldron, and Scythe), but I have narrowed it down to two choices. I'll either do bronze with a patina (the greenish stuff that you get on copper and brass statues and coins), or I might do silver with bronze runes (which would just be little squiggley lines)

The 'rot' on the wings is going to look like normal flesh, although some parts will be yellow-white, kind of like an ingrown fingernail or toenail.

That's all for now. I have an essay to get back to.

Wow, It's been a while since my last post. Well, I have some new stuff to post pics of, and I'll get more pics tonight, I think.

First, here's my new Aspiring Champion, made with a Chaos Knights head, CSM arms and pauldrons, a Dark Angels body, and Chaos terminator powerfist.





This is the only one of my Forgeworld Plague Marines that's painted at the moment. I'm really happy with how I got the eyes to look like they're glowing.










And here's one of my raptors, who will be holding a flamer when I'm done with him.






And now for an update on the army's status:
-Dreadnought is gone. The Chaos dread isn't a very good unit choice, so I'm going to use the dreadnought body as part of a defiler conversion.
-Obliterators are being created from terminator bodies and legs, plastic tubing, spawn bits, stuff from AoBR, and GS
-Raptors are on hold until I decide what I want to do with them
-Need to make another normal CSM with a melta
-Lash Prince needs to be finished

looking alot better! Is this with primer?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
btw, loving the skeleton on the backpack.

I make sure to Prime all my minis before I paint them. The backpack is one of the ones from the Chirugeon set. The Plague champion has the Chirugeon itself, without the extra mechanical arms

Allright, I put more stuff in the gallery, so here it is.

Undivided Terminator










Nurgle Terminator








The New Icon Bearer

More pics of the Icon Bearer







Now some of the Slaaneshi Terminator (that's the Doom Siren that came with my Defiler on his back, by the way)

The half & half paint scheme on the Slaanesh termie is quite appealing, and the slight conversion work is quite fitting.

Man, It's been a while. Well, now that I'm done with AP exams, and I probably have a summer job lined up, I can try and make more regular updates.

First, we have the completed Captain Tripps.




Next, my Obliterator Conversions. These pics are all kind of old, so I'll try and get some more recent ones tomorrow.










This is my WIP Lash Prince Conversion. I was going to give him the Dragon Wings, like Captain Tripps, but he's not tall enough. Luckily, I found a bunch of feathered wings that are the right size at my somewhat local FGS.



And last, but not least, my converted Abbadon the Despoiler. Because we all know that the official model sucks. It's smaller than the plastic Terminators, for Nurgle's sake!






I'm working on his Pauldrons, and after that I'm going to sculpt a cape for him.

Your painting has really improved! Excellent work!

Captain Tripps's face looks good; one thing I really like is that when I look at him, the alternate colors and face and wings and scythe all make him not scream "NIGHTBRINGER!" to me.

Abaddon looks excellent. Your icon bearer looks nice, but a bit of the paint smeared on his standard. One suggestion that might be cool is modeling some decayed matter out of green stuff onto the standard, to make it look more disgusting and Nurgly.

My favorite paint? The glowing eyes on that random plague marine. It really does look good.

P.S. Thanks for the Necron shield.

You my friend can work very well with green stuff and paint. i think your a champ good work and keep it up.

Hmm can you give me an approx price of this army so far? Including the gs

-=Scar=- wrote:Hmm can you give me an approx price of this army so far? Including the gs

I don't even want to think about that, to be honest.

Also, While I don't have any pics at the moment, I have decided to paint the defiler in Alpha Legion colors. Why? Because they are everywhere.

Alpharius could be anyone.
He could be you, he could be me! He could even b-

Man, I really need to start updating this more frequently.

Well, I can say with confidence that I am very nearly done with making the Knights of Entropy into a decent 1500 point army. I have all the parts for everything except the chaos lord, which will take a little while. The torso and head that I need are in the mail, and then I still have to make a Palanquin of Nurgle for him to ride, and a seperate base for when I don't want him mounted.

There have been some changes in the army. They now have a more uniform paint scheme. P3 traitor green for most stuff, and then their heads and pauldrons indicate the god they worship. Each unit type has a different color of armor trim. CSM and Plague Marines have bone, Terminators have Gold, Havocs have bronze, and the raptors will either have silver or scorpion green.

Pics coming later today, I have some stuff to do that will take a little while.

You live! Can't wait for pics tho.

outstanding work!

I know that the lighting in these pictures is terrible. I was trying out a different setup, because I didn't really want to clear off my desk to take pictures. But I'm going to get some better pictures taken, hopefully tonight.


Here's the Forgeworld Plague Champion, you can see how the paint scheme has changed over time.









Here's my WIP Kharn conversion


And here's a bunch of other stuff.

Abbadon, now with a drybrush of silver on the armor, to make it look more like armor.


The champion for my Havoc Squad. I need to redo the silver, change it to bronze.







And here's the first of my Lascannon-wielding Havocs

Nice fw plague champion. Was the pf from the same sprue?

Dude your Captain Tripp looks... badass. In the extreme. That mask especially is just perfect. I agree, I don't think anyone's 1st thought upon seeing it would be "TeH NIGHTBRINGERz!!!!1!!1101!" Also where are his wings from, and what did you do to the mask? It looks like you did something to it other than painting it. I dunno, it could be the lighting.

And in an earlier wip picture of it... Was that f***ing BLOOD on his robe and on the table?? Because it looked like blood to me. If so, that would explain how he turned out so badass.

Munch Munch! wrote:Nice fw plague champion. Was the pf from the same sprue?

No, all the FW thing comes with is the torsos and pauldrons. The PF is from the terminator sprue, since there's little to no size difference between Marine powerfists and Terminator Powerfists

I did nothing to the mask, and the wings are the Dragon Wings. GW sells them in the Warhammer (fantasy) section. Just go to bits, and there's a whole section for wings.

I think I know which WIP pic you're thinking of, and no. my blood has never come in contact with any of my models. It's just red paint on the table, and some brown paint on Captain Tripps.


I've decided to abandon the Lash Prince idea for now. I really don't need it, except if I want an army that will dominate on the tabletop, and I'm trying to make mine centered around some rather vague fluff, instead of "what is the absolute best stuff to win with". I'm mainly focusing on the Plague Rhino right now, waiting for some bits to come from the internet, and some Brownstuff that I ordered a week or so ago.

After I'm done with the Knights of Entropy, I'll probably start another CSM army. I'm trying to decide between Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors. Either way, at least I won't need to worry about finding a good color scheme. I'm also planning on getting a bunch of CSM, and painting one for each legion/warband/whatever that GW has given a paint scheme for. Should be fun.

As for the Palanquin Of Nurgle that I'm making for the Lord...anyone have ideas for that? I know it's supposed to be carried by Nurglings, but I don't feel like buying any. So far, my ideas have been to convert 4 of the AoBR orks into plaguebearers and make them carry it, or make a bunch of maggots out of GS and put them on the bottom. Anyone have any other ideas? Or you can just tell me which one you like best.

Update for those who might actually read this:
I've been working on a sculpture project for something I'm going to at the end of July, so my 40k work has slowed a bit. Nevertheless, I have managed to start work on a Nurgle Dreadnought, converted from the Plastic Venerable Dread kit. I'm about 1/2 to 3/4 done with the conversion work, and then the painting will begin. Once that's done, I still have to fininsh painting the rest of the bloody army, since most of the stuff is about half finished at best. The Nurgle Lord is being painted as we speak, and I will probably just put him on a dreadnought sized base with a horse from the Chaos Knights set, rather than bother with the Palanquin. Then, I'm probabaly going to make at least 2 more daemon princes, one with the old metal one, since I want to get one before they go oop, and one with the new plastic DP. Possibly the metal nurgle prince too, although I don't think I will. I kind of want to model one that's really thin and ancient looking, a sort of wasted 'father time' thing to be the Warptime prince. I'll try to get some pics of my sketches up in a day or two.

DP looks ace !

Everything looks great. I think you have more special characters and elites than troops though...Unless I'm missing something. Can we have a big group shot?

Btw: Dakka's giving me the 3 month warning, but this is in your signature, so I guess it's okay

yea great stuff here

Yeah, I probably do have more HQ than troops. I'm working on that though. Or I would be if I didn't have all these ideas for Daemon Princes. I have the new plastic one, a river troll which will become another Nurgle DP, and a vague idea for a Tzneetch DP. Pics will come after I have some lunch, hopefully.

Cool. I'm waiting

Here's the Nurgle Lord

Daemon Prince WIP


And here's a sneak peek at the dreadnought



More to come later, I have to go out to dinner in about 30 min, and I need to get ready.

i smell some upcoming awsome! o wait thats the horible sme- *dies from inhaling toxic gas emiting from the dread

My only omplaint is how every weapon just looks white with a brown wash. No offense, but it doesnt look to good. You should try boltgun metal, with brown washes to look old an worn

You'll have to be more specific when you say "every weapon".

Wow impressive stuff you got. Most apealing to my tainted heart. Subscribing.

Nearly every bolter, plasla gun, the choppa, power weapons etc

Nice stuff there, try a bits place for your Las-cannons or get yourself a razorback kit and pick up the chaos upgrade kit.

Maybe you can't see it because of the lighting, but there is a lot of variation on the weapons. I'll try and get some better pictures today or tomorrow.

frelling double post.

Thats probably it. (and Im on my ipod)

Looks great. That new DP is great. With a little effort it can really look nurgley

Wait, what does that have to do with any of my recent stuff?

updates :3

you were on about putting las cannons on your defiler

Now for the 2 Obliterators that I actually have painted

This one is my favorite as far as painting goes. I stumbled onto a way to make really good looking skin. First you give it a coat of Red Gore, followed by one or two thin coats of dwarf flesh, watered down so that the red still shows through. Then, you cover it all with a wash of Ogryn Flesh, and you get this;









This one was my favorite, but I realized that I did too much flesh, and not enough armor/tech stuff. However, he is a lot closer to the actual obliterators in terms of size. I Have a lot more work to do on this one, mainly breaking up the large areas of flesh color somehow.








That's all for now. I'm feeling a little under the weather at the moment, but I'll try to get more pics posted soon. I want to get as much stuff done and posted as I can before college, since I don't think I'm bringing my 40k stuff with me.

Also, I'm going to try and take pictures outside from now on, since the light in my room is never quite right. Anyone have any tips for better photography?

have you tried blue, purple, green and ogryn wash it works fantastically I used it on my Cryx warmachine minis.

I have a jar on my painting table.

More new stuff!

The River Troll-Nurgle Daemon Prince conversion I'm working on.




A Plague marine with a meltagun







And last, for now, the RHINO!







I've noticed that some of my stuff is getting kind of dusty from sitting on the shelf for a while. Anyone know a good way to get rid of the dust? I assume I can just dunk them in some water, since the paints aren't watercolors or anything, but if anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to know.

Love the skeleton in the rhino door! Nurglicious

well, it was originally a part of the nurgle icon from the CSM box.

How about fused guns on the marines?

Glass cabinet?

what about them?

I thought fusing bolters/ meltas to the arm like a mutation.

Oh, I see. I've done that with some of them, actually.

More Pics of the Dreadnought.

Nice! How are you liking the ven. dread kit?

It's freaking awesome. I do kind of wish I'd thought to modify the feet so they looked more like the FW chaos dreads', but other than that, it's an incredible kit. I'm definitely going to make any other dreads out of the venerable kit.
