Hi folks, summer time vacations is here and I took the freetime to work on something really fun just for myself this time.

For some time I wanted to make a small terminator heavy deathguard army, so I started sculpting some normal Plague marines.
Without further delay I introduce you, The Worm Lords.

THis one was done many months ago for a project that never really took off so he was kind of the first to be done.

These next 3 Plague marines were done just recently in my vacations.

And the familly picture

To finish this squad I need to make 3 more Plague marines, 2 of them with meltas... and a Rhino.
So this is my last mini project and I'm having lots of fun with it.

**Death Gear**

Nice green stuff job

**metallifan**

The second one from the top looks like he's really excited and is doing a happy dance

Still dead sexy sculpting though. Or as sculpting as a festering, rotted out, puss-filled-sore-covered bald and screaming corrupted marine can be.

**FITZZ**

Impressive sculpting skills you have there NAVARRO,I like theses alot,very well done.

**NAVARRO**

Its the acid rain happy dance

**migsula**

Brilliant - the subject matter fits your sculpting style perfectly and the unit has real Nurgle flavor in a nice 2nd ed sort of way

**NAVARRO**

Thanks mate

More pics of The Worm Lords, this time its all still very WIP.
So I have 2 ikea displays furniture side by side, they almost look like they are just one big display, although they have a major problem since you cant customize the shelfs height... so space between them is huge and really a wast of space.

After thinking about it I decided also to make a big display base for my Worm Lords that goes from on furniture to the other, one of them I started converting a landing pad so this is like a extra free shelf for the display, yay! I made pillars bigger and landing pad widder... yet all still in early wip but you can see how its all going to be on the displays ( I need some bastions)... also covered imperial eagles with nurgly things...

Heres some wip pics of the splitted display im builting

Oh and a comparative pic of marines sizes

And a wip of the melta marine head just as a teaser.

**NAVARRO**

Hi again, after a crazy week of real life work I finally got the time to unpack some goodies that arrived at my mailbox.
With a new bastion and a defense line I started bulking up the nurgle display dock...

I did a smaller tower to work as the plataform elevator for the dock.

Here's a wip view of the all thing planned( I do need to add lots of stuff before I call it done)

And I painted the interior of the bunker on top of the platform because even with the ceiling atached theres some grids there that let you look just a tiny bit inside... No one will notice it but I will hehe.

Thats all for now... Only thing annoying is the ton of eagles on these kits, that I need to cut off, so many of them and, Nurgle dunt laike it!

**viney**

Fantastic! Brilliant! enough said!

**NAVARRO**

And I just finished painting the defense line that will be on the display... I tried to make the exterior sides more dusty and gritty and the insides cleaner and more scratchy.
I think I just found the colors combination for my display.
Feels good to paint again I havent painted nothing more serious for such a looong time... I think years.

**Corpsesarefun**

Beautifull work

when will your nids get some love?

**Catattafish**

That green stuff sculpting is simply amazing!!!!!!!!

**Lint**

Your green-fu is fantastic! I especially like the gas mask helmet on the last guy.

**endtransmission**

The sculpting work is inspiring; really smooth work. The only thing I would say is that the hand/bolter position in the third picture looks odd. The hand should be turned to the left so that it's aligned with the bolter

**Sanctjud**

SEXY.

Some really great stuff.
My one issue is... (maybe the pictures squashed them together) they look sort of ungainly tall.

In addition, I don't think the normal infantry bases do them justice, but yes, basing concerns are important for playability or something like that.

My 7 Cents.

**Necros**

Awesome stuff as always. hurry up and paint the marines

**scarab**

Great technical skills and subject matter. What do you use to get the GS so smooth? Shapers?

**Kronus VI**

Wow that might be a good starting point for an Imperator titan foot!

Im gonna do it!!! When i have money.

though it might be too big anyway.

**NAVARRO**

To smooth GS I use shappers, whater and plastic bags... Yes bases are not practical for gameplay but I just couldnt resist making them like that ehehe... for now nids will take a step back.

Ok time for things get nutty concept wise... I always wanted to make crazy rhinos so this is my chance to have fun with them... the Rhino for my first squad is done and its like a huge fumigaror of nurgly gas, made a little nurgle acolit to distribute the nurgle smell to all that venture to get close to this rhino...

I know, I know... many if not all will hate this because its neither just a realistic troop armored vehicle or a so common possessed chaos rhino with lots of bubbles and blisters and things. What can I say, Its the way I see fantasy industrial rhinos and I'm really going deep on my fraked up concepts ideas ehehe.

Let the Fumigation begin.

**migsula**

GROGEOUS RIDE!

Paint paint paint.

please.

**Belphegor**

The cyclops view port is a nice touch.

**Blarglord**

Those are amazing!! I'm working on a death guard army as well. Definitely need to work on my GS skills.

**Panic**

yeah,
amazine start,
I think with 40k 5th ed. being LOS based the extra hight of the PM bases will mostly be a disadvantage... Looks awesome thou. I'm always going back and making little changes to my DeathGuard, and I think i'll be stealing some of your nice backpack detail ideas!

loving the rhino. the good thing here rules wise, is that all that barrel is basically extra detail and wont count as hull so can't be targeted.

How did you paint your defence lines, that rust looks good? I can't wait to see more.

Panic...

**Wehrkind**

Awesome as usual my friend! Glad to see you back to working on more approachable models. The titan was, of course, amazing, but these are perhaps a bit better for inspiration, as one can find themselves thinking "Yea, I could do something vaguely similar" then taking another shot of Jack.

**PsychosisPC**

I don't know, I really like the Fumigator Rhino. I think its a cool idea, perfect for the nurgly bastards.

You must have a thing for bugs or something.

**Flachzange**

Well, now that the Titan is done, you can focus all your otherworldly sculpting talent on these guys hehe. I have to say, Im not a big Nurgle-fan, never have been, but for sculting reasons, its just perfect to go crazy with.

Looking forward to more from you!

**Deff Dread red Edition**

It is looking really cool thus far, I really like the strange fumigation rhino(if that is what it is called). I like the base idea of it all, have always rather liked any thing that is Nurgle like. Keep up the good work.

**slann**

Love the rhino really is an awesome idea . I think all the complements have been said on how awesome this is coming , just cant wait to see more .

**NAVARRO**

Thanks folks

Another update, this time I have been priming and cleaning some biohazard barrels, painted some parts of one nurgle marine, painted a bit of both guns for the display and sculpted a more demonic head for another marine for this squad... all just fast wip pics to show were the project is atm.

**Sidstyler**

Holy gak, that head is awesome!
