But... but Nurgle is so awesome and friendly! He really just wants to be your buddy. And what about those cheeky and fun-loving Nurglings? Cute little critters!

How could you resist the 100% pure goodness of MORE Plague Marines?

I have to resist it, because 10 plague marines ae closer to 60€

@torturedrobot: well, i can give you my recipes if you like, otherwise, just don't be afraid of experimentation. It does take longer to go back and redo something but you learn along the way.
@captainsolstice: right on!
@slugga: get that new plastic nurgle lord to satisfy your urges, i know i want too...

Nice use of the Max Mini heads for the Blood Korps.

my god.. this is.. wow.. [wow] Ö
like its everything i ever wanted.. a nurgle themed renegade gaurd army..stands for awesomeness+ converted + epicness
one day in the far future I myself will hos an army like this.. until next time

Joske Out.

@slugga: good luck!
@llamahead: Thanks, those heads rock.
@Joske: Thank you! This army has been a long time in coming. Good luck on your own journey into darkness.

Well tonight is make it or break it for painting the vehicles and infantry for the tournament tomorrow. Hopefully, i can get some sleep tonight and post an update. If not ill take some pictures at tomorrows games and post an update then. Ill see you guys on the other side.

Well last night was absolutely epic and I'm happy to say it paid off, I won best Painted! What?! Without a doubt, the encouragement from all of you here helped me stay on it. I got to sleep at about 4 am, the tournament started at 9. I had two strong wins and one brutal loss in the 2nd round to the second place winner overall. With only three rounds that put me out of the running to win but it was a lot of fun and to be honest beside 1st place I covet best painted most and it was a total surprise. As promised, i got some pics but my camera was dying so i didn't get more shots of the games.




The second games, first turn. These wolfies got schooled but this was the only game i lost.



A Great COBRA themed IG army. The pic is bad but this army has all the Cobra characters converted so awsome.


The Prize:

Welp. Looks like terrain just jumped on the work bench

Well... Looks like you'll be making a Chaotifyed version on the Shrine... Right?

Good job on the Best Painted Army competition.

Thanks slugga! For the shrine i was thinking i'd pick up the honored imperium set as well to make it a bit bigger. Im not sure about chaos but definitely deteriorated.

I'd actually want to play a 40k game against you, but I'm not exactly neighbours with you.

You could actually even make a Chaos Shrine... Not just make it defiled.

Congrads on the "Best Painted"! Sorry you took a beating from the Space Wolves, my Cult has the same problem a few weeks back in a game of Planetstrike.

Everything here looks awesome! Congratulations on the best painted award, it's certainly well-deserved.

@slugga: Well if you ever come to my island let me know
@skalk: Thanks! and yeah those wolves have have a lot of good options but i could have won, had i gone first or was a little bit smarter about reserves.
@prime: Thanks Buddy!

I've got a couple of papers due over the next few days, so i dont expect to be able to do any painting but ill update as soon as I do get some work done.

hmm... a vacation with my DKOK (and some actual people )
maybe next time...

How fast do you actually paint your miniatures?
Infantry?
Tanks?
that big happy nurgle guy?

I usually tend to paint in 2-4 hour sittings with occasional all night marathons. Most of the time it can take a long time for a model to get completely painted, sometimes it all happens in one sitting. I usually try to paint armies in batches, first base colors. Second is to paint up to tabletop: layers, dry brushing and washes and the third detail and highlights. All three at one time on a single mini, might take 2-4 hours depending on the size or detail. the renegade psyker on page one and the GUO for example.

I use the same "mass production" tactic as you actually...
I usually paint a DKOK infantry squad in 15-25 mins depending on the small details. I use about 14 colours on them.

Go check them out, they aren't actually that bad.

Okay I'm back with a big update. Tonight I've got shots of some of Papa Ga'aps kiddies and a few of The Tainted Warband's more completed fellows. These armies will be seeing work soon so I'll post more shots of the rest as I get stuff finished for them and hit a table or two. Ideally all three Nurgle armies will finish up at around the same time for approximately 14,000 points worth of Nurgle's blessed children. I find taking pictures helps a lot with figuring out what needs to be done but i still need practice with that (its a whole other art form!). So without further gabling, here's some evil...
Papa Ga'ap and a few of the denizens of the BLighted Pit






I use the Plague Ogryns as Daemon Princes, in case anyone was wondering


Mamons' "The Tainted" warband

Imma take better pictures of Mamon when I finish him up, too much going on in the background





While Mamon is the Armies patron, Lord Bulogos (here with the LC's) is in tactical command when the warband is not led by their former lord Dyptheron, a Daemon Prince in ascendance.

Pics of Dyptheron and more from both these armies to come soon. As always C&C is most appreciated. Thanks for stopping by!

Yay Papa Nurgle is in the house!

Woop Woop! Yeah i got to get in a game with these guys, maybe monday. Finals aren't over yet so I probally wont get much done over the weekend, but i'll post if i do.

WOW! That is so amazingly horrible and disturbing! The conversions you did are amazing and the overall theme is diseased perfection. I *really* like this a lot. If I had my army to do over again I'd be pulling a lot of inspiration from this thread.

Really like your new stuff, the paint job is simple but very effective!

Drill your barrels tho!!!!

Amazing work! as always...

Aww Thanks guys! but yeah, still lots to do on these, gun barrels included

Hay Dakka Dakka folks! Okay, so, i got good news and bad news. Bad news first, i just got laid off. after two years of working, they told me litterally minutes before i clocked out (having just done a bunch of chores that they saved just for me ), they very unceremoniously told me to piss off. I guess they're broke or something, but feth, a little heads up would have been nice Bleh bassterds, oh well, the Good News, Finals are done! and (esp. now that i don't have a job) that means more HOBBY TIME! lol (though I probaly wont be buying anything for a while, I got enough stuff to finish up). So, I expect to post some updates soon... I think the Blood Pact will be up next along with finishing up Plague Marines for both the Apostles of Decay and The Tainted. But first... I NEED A BEER AND A BOWL! STAT!

Also, i just wanted to say, Thanks to all the Dakkites who regularly post up and even you lurkers for checking my plog out! You all keep me up! It may not be much, but sometimes i feel like the hobby, the girlie and the homie's is all I got. Peace to all of you, during these Holidays and stay up! Aloha mai kakou! E hauoli Makahiki ho! (that means <3 for all of you and happy new years, in case you were wondering )

1. Im sorry that you got laid off
2. Yay! more chaos!
3. Merry Christmas

Lame that you got laid off, wicked lame how they pulled that on you. But yay for some time off and modeling. You've likely got enough stuff right now to keep you going for a while.

Hope things pick back up for you.

I hope you can find another job (and paint more miniatures) soon

I wish you good luck finding another job.
It sucks you didn't get a heads up and were screwed that way.

Thanks for the well wishes all! I've been in tighter spots before, so it'll be okay. I just hope it doesn't get to point where I have to sell an army or two.. though, maybe I should.

Sorry, no update tonight unfortunately, though I did make some progress on the Blood Pact, I'll save taking pictures for a nice big update.
