The armor has the same color as my the rest of my Death Guard.

He seems to be missing legs ( dunno if he is supposed to have them ) But if it does , then it feels like whats under the robe is empty :/

A bit too late with that Luna.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I was going for. I wanted him to have some sort of a ghostly appearance, he's a Primarch, the most powerful kind of Demonprince there is, so I guess some shapeshifting is not too much to ask.

I like the way everythings turning out. I'm glad you went with black wings - though i wouldnt mind seeing them a bit darker.
Keep up the good work!

So once again I declare a model finished because there's just too much else on my table right now. Enjoy.

Very cool brother, its going to be a fantastic centrepiece for your army.

Finished the Power Claw Termies. The next thing I'm planning to do with this army is doing a lot of re-equipping and putting together units with a distinct feel.

Looking pretty cool. Will look really good once the bases are all sorted out - particularly if you carry on the neon green slime theme

I love those Plague Bearers made from ghouls! Very creative, the muted greens look great.

_Tim?

That is just so amazing.

Here's a (very rough) photoshopped concept of my next planned project for this army. More details and better pic tomorrow.

Interesting plague tower. Looking forward to the 'real' pics!

Can't wait for the real thing.

Hmm, reminds me of that Will Smith movie "wild wild west". The potential is certianly there, but maybe the tower could be shortened slightly? Love the "smoke stack" idea though...very very industrial.

hmmm nice work

Could be nice... Let's see how the concept works!

When you build it make sure that it looks like the legs could support the weight of the tower! And add alot of disgusting rashes and goo and limbs sticking out and blood and other things you only read in Cannibal Corpse lyrics.

ooooooh a walking tower it looks like its gonna be awesome. Just an idea but you could put some people being tortured on it or some de he he

So I didn't get around to make the real mock-up yet, but I might as well write about how this idea came to be.
A few weeks ago, my brother and I got invited to another 40k group. The guys we played with before were very... competetive and focused on tournaments and optimizing their lists. This new group however was more the way I like it. Almost everyone has one or more awesome Theme Army and most of it is painted or in the process of being painted. Short: my kinda 40k!

One of the guys plays Iron Warriors (based on the Space Wolf Codex) and he told me, he build himself a Plague Tower equivalent, based on to tower from the Dark Angel Fortress, but with legs instead of wheels. My mind was blown! Since that day I can't stop thinking about building my own Plague Tower for my army. After some thought, like he did, I dissmissed the idea of having the tower based on the old Warhammer Siege Tower, because that would just look rather stupid, being a wooden construction on a battlefield like that. The concept of wheels or tracks got also scrapped after a while, because I could't think of a way to build it, that wouldn't make it look like I just build a tower on top of a tank.

So building a Plague Tower on Defiler legs might not exactly be my idea, but that never stopped me before. I decided to base it on the 40k Cities of Death buildings, the Manofactorum in particular. That got me thinking on how the tower was build in the first place. Since my Traitor Guard force is also (supposed to be) growing I thought to myself: would it be too far fetched, that a Dark Mechanicus Priest actually used Civilian buildings to build a Warmachine? So it would basically come down to.. well, a walking Tower. The idea behind this was, that the Priest bound a Demon to a building and then added Defiler parts (or something similar) to the bottom, for the Demon to pull himself out of the ground.
Based on that concept, my brother had an awesome idea: The tower is still carrying parts of the city with him. So I might add a bit of street around the base, maybe a lamp post and some sewer parts underneath. That's also where I could put the big vomit cannon or whatever it's called.

I'll make another concept picture later, but so far I have the following plans:
- based on the Manofactorum building, 2 walls wide, 3 walls high
- a huge front door on the first level for embarking
- a Demolisher cannon on the 2nd and 3rd level
- balconies, one on each side, but not on the same level, so I can put embarked models there

this is all more in my head than actully in building (as usual with most of my stuff ), but I thought I'd share it with you anyway. My biggest fear atm is, that one set of Defiler legs won't be enough.

Sounds cool . As for the defiler legs: if you modify the arms, you have six legs. This should more then enough to carry the tower, though eight would be more apropriate for chaos

I like the idea of the sewer pipes being converted to the vomit cannon, A bit of Gs work could make it look like it's half transformed into a throat maybe?

And yeah , the more legs the better!

I've been working on a few smaller models. The plan for the Demon part of my army is to field several 7-man squads of Plague Bearers, but each should look different. So I build me another 2 based on plastic Ghouls, got me a few of the new metal ones and tried something I've wanted to build since I saw it the first time in the DH 'dex: Demon Orks:







Now all I need is to get my hands on a few more of the old 3rd edition Plague Bearers.

C&C is always welcome.

Hyper cool looking army, not sure about the walking tower?

But I look forward to more !

Like the PB orks. Nice way to tell them apart

Agreed, it almost makes me want to kitbash some!!!

As with the Demons, I want to have a lot of variety in the Guard force of my army. Some with Forge World parts, some with gas masks, some based on Fantasy models. Here's the first trooper.

Awesome work, love Mortarion and the plaguebearers. Walking Plague Tower sounds like a wicked idea. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I'm really busy atm, so all I can show you today is another trooper for my Guard army.



I need a simple color scheme, so I'm sticking with one layer on each part and lots of wash.

Lookign good. Have you considered a very pallid flesh tone instead of the green? That might make it 'pop' a but more - if that's what you're after, of course.

Agreed with CommissarKhaine, the flesh looks a bit too dark...

But the mini's nice !!! Could you post some closer pics?
