Thanks a lot, you guys; especially for the dakka high five. I'll gladly accept it. ^^


To be honest, I couldn't resist showing this guy off here, too. I've been so damn proud, and all the more since this was my first miniature rated better than 7.5 on CMON.

@ shrike: I didn't use him yet, but I think I'll be playing him as either Chapter Master or generic Captain.
What would you suggest?

I particularly like the "servo-harness" of medical tools, especially the knife, looks like it's use-able in CC, too.
Oh and I reccommend using him as either a captian or sicarius. He's an ultra, and they already have calgar as chapter master. Siicarius has a power weapon and plasma pistol, and the rules suit the model most IMO. Use the same rules, but instead of a 15pt plasma pistol, have a 15pt storm shield!

Hi All, Here are some Death Guard Terminators that I have been working on. (work in prog).
Heaps of crazy stuff going on here with spikes busting through decayed / shot-up armor and the odd mutation here and there.
So far I have 5 of these guys that I have made using Chaos Terminator torsos and normal Space Marine Terminator legs / arms.

Painting is only in the very early stages.



These are the crazy looking heads that will go on the 5 x Terminators.

Thanks Vandehey, I have positioned them in very hunched over type poses and majority of the weapons are pointing down. That combined with the detailed base work will hopefully give them the Death Guard / Nurgle type of look that I am aiming for. (The eventual squad of 10 x Death Guard Terminators should look fairly menacing).

I will be really mad if they make a model after I put this together (not painted btw)

These two are probably my favourite models...The master of the Recruits with 2 Bolt pistols was more difficult to Pin and GS together. I like the way his Sword is just ready when one of pistols runs dry he will grab the Chainsword.



The other is my chapter master, which is a basic GS Conversion of another miniature with a SW head. Its not finished but I love the Hard as nails pose with a giant Relic Blade.



I like them both equally, But I am working on some Pre-Heresy Statues at the moment and I think they will Trump this. Garviel Loken on a Ferocrete Column anyone?

sorry but i have to say fail on that conversion. nice work with the greenstuff though the fur looks good. but fail because the chestplate shows the Dark Angel logo. Dark Angels dont like the Space Puppies so its kinda ironic. But im sure that would have been kinda hard to cover with GS.
