Got the basic paint on the 'Tides of Filth' relic predator, I'm still debating whether to go with hazard stripes on the dozer blade and/or the hull front, but the basic idea is there

not it's just the long business of shading & then weathering

hazard stripe 'dozers is always a plus! It really does look like a relic with that turret. Definitely calls back to the old round-turrent predator, but with a bit of the turret-size of the early soviet KV-2!

The side sponson guns also look very advanced, and the front view-port is a great glass paintjob, congrats

Well I've finally finished the beast and although it was a load of work i'm happy with the result, the hazard stripes add a nice touch of colour to it so i'm glad I went that way, and the battle damage where the paint has been burned off adds that extra bit of texture

A Blightlord Terminator caught my eye over the weekend,



I quite like the orgyn camoshade yellow/green on the shoulder pad which is now going to be part of my Vectorums colour scheme going forward



not shown in the composite is the very cute belly nurgling so I had to take an angled shot to display it in all it's glory

one of my converted Blightlord terminators painted, this one has the bulk to be the real thing rather than just an aspirant

Ohh nicely done!

another Blightlord joins the battle, this one has possibly the greatest head in the kit



I just love the smile, and think the bloated flesh escaping from the armour at the back is a cool touch from the sculptor, especially where the armour has been patched together to try and hold it in without sucess

Blightlord Terminator with Flail of Corruption, I call him Oozy Ivan because all of the goop dripping from his armour

The more of these I paint the more I like the sculpts

Blightlord with blight launcher, a very cool look even if the shells for the launcher are far, far smaller than the bore of the gun barrel (perhaps not showing them in open magazines would have been smarter)



and such a cute nurgling shoulder pad, look at the sweet little fellows

and last, but not least, Mr Fly Guy



rocking the ever popular Reaper Autocannon he'll tell the servants of the Corpse Emperor to buzz off...….. (I'll get my coat)

Well I did my plague surgeon ages ago, now here is the official GW model, one of the only thin Deathguard, I wonder what he did to anger the grandfather?

The Cult of the Ancient Sun, who have come to worship the Grandfather and take up arms in support of his ambassadors the Deathguard.

It's likely they will soon join the ranks of the poxwalkers, but for now the can act more independently spreading terror and confusion before the Deathguard assault begins.

a group shot for these as the minis are pretty poor in terms of the sculpts (and casting) even compared to other old starter box fodder, I've got another set I was planning to convert but painting the unmodified set was not much fun so that idea is on hold. They're also noticible short which doesn't help either

I've tried to take enough colour cues from the Deathguard & Poxwalkers for them to fit in the army, but be clearly distinguishable, and in that at least I think they work

three more poxwalkers finished, annoyingly my camera has decided I can't get decent photos despite repeated tries using my normal setup & lighting, so these will have to do for now

(EDIT: slightly better photos added)

it's also the first dark skinned one I've done since my ancient bolter shell pot of Scorched Brown ran out (which is a different colour to the later GW Scorched Brown just to confuse the issue)

I've found that current doombull brown mixed with abaddon black makes an ok substitute, having enough red in it which isn't the case with the suggested Vallejo charred brown (maybe this is actually a match for the later version of the colour?)

Well I did my plague surgeon ages ago, now here is the official GW model, one of the only thin Deathguard, I wonder what he did to anger the grandfather?

Probably stores antisepticums somewhere


Nicely done though

thanks,

more mouldy men

Well that was a long pause, another poxwalker finally photographed, just one left to paint and I'm done with them for now



I'm starting to work on the new cultists from blackstone fortress, so much nicer than the old dark vengeance versions

after a long winter break for toothache, bad weather and general laziness I present my version of Nurgle's Tallyman, ready to count up all those glorious diseases.



a repeat of the tallyman from earlier in the thread so you can see what was done



and the helper Nurglings, bless their chubby little cheeks. As you can see one of them has mutated all the better to use the abacus, and I've had to resulpt the leg of the one on top to get thing to fit, as well as adding straps to the book so it can carry it for it's master

What a fun model! I love the abacus! It must have taken a while to build.

thanks

cutting the deathguard chest piece so it fitted on the primaris librarian body was the most time consuming,

shave a bit, test fit, shave a bit more, test fit etc

the rest of it wasn't too bad (and surprisingly the nurglings went together pretty easily)

the first of some of the new cultists (those horns are ludicrously fragile)

and finally the last of the batch of poxwalker conversions, I had to wait for more paint



it's clearly tool time as he is holding a couple of splendid examples

The Tallyman is a magnificent bit of building and paint. Great job!

Thanks very much, he's among my favourites now for sure



and the cultists have got another new recruit from the blackstone fortress box set, rushing to bring up more ammo

and getting ready to make a big bang is this tubby chap

1 cultist, 1 heavy stubber, tracer rounds, should be fun

Liking the scheme on these cultists, fits in nicely without screaming nurgle followers loudly.

Thanks monkeytroll, I'm trying to pick up enough of the deathguards colours without making the cultists identical so a few spots of colour help make them a bit different



and here's the next

One cult leader, she clearly flirted with the Prince of Pleasure before committing her soul to Nurgle, but the Grandfather welcomes all into his garden.

Appearing as if all the rot and decay of the swamp had come together to spread it's blight the Demon Prince Cthlos often supports the Deathguard engaged in the Grandfathers work

I also finally finished this bloat drone that has been taking up space on my painting bench for far too long, not sure why I struggled so much to finish painting it but i'm pleased with the result

Typhus, Host of the Destroyer Hive, painted in my version of the offical GW scheme as he's not part of my custom Vectorum. He sometimes joins their raids as part of Grandfather Nurgles plans.
