Agreed, the yellow now matches the perfection of the model!

great stuff going on there mate.

Just found this picture on BolS



Gotta say, that's not a bad idea to represent Bikes in a Chaos army. If all of the horses can have those helmet thingys I might give it a shot for my Death Guard.

Yep pretty cool; helmets are from the knights of chaos set IIRC.

yes they are. not sure though how many actuall helmets were in there

Great minis indeed... If I think of it later, I'll go and check my (yet-) untouched Chaos Knights box...

Do it! For my eldar army i use the lions from the high elf chariot as mounts counting as jet bikes as well as some horses and another beast thing. Its cooler looking than the bikes and anachronistically awesome.

Chaos Knights are plastic, right?

Yes, they are

Excellent. I shalll put it on list of "things I really want to do with this army once I can spare some money and actually have the time and space to buy new tabletop related things".

All Chaos Knight horses have helmets, it appears the BoLS modeller has used Chaos Marauder horses for the rest of the squad

Love the Plaguereaper btw

Chaos knight arms are great for true scale marines as they are slightly larger and more bulky than CSM arms.

Also good for terminators or otherwise heavily armoured versions of CSM.

Thanks for the pic Baragesh. If I get around to do this, I want all horses to have the helmet with the round eyes with the holes in it.

Question is, do I build them before or after the cavalery for my Traitor Guard.

February 17th? February the effin' 17th?! Gork damnit, I haven't paintend anything in over 7 weeks?! o_o

Sorry guys, I was quite busy with a lot of different things, but no worries, I'm back now. Or at least I hope so.

Time to put some more work into those Death Guard marines, shall we? The original plan for this army was and still is, that each unit should feel different from the one before. Also, when possible, I want to field 7-man squads. It's a pain to do with Terminators, but for Marines, it should work quite well.
I wanted every unit to have at least one special weapon, though I expect once the new codex arrives it won't be possible to field 2 special weapons in unit with fewer then 10 models.
And, in line with the current book, I wanted every unit to carry a standard for summening demons.

But enough talk. Have at ye!

One squad is based on the "classic" Plague Marines. Mostly old metal models, with some minor conversions.


The second unit I build, inspired by a Chaos Army I once saw in the golden days of the White Dwarf, when GW employees were still allowed to do conversions.


I hope the theme in this one comes through. When I started the army, I wanted all of my veterans and Termies if possible to be covered in rags and cloth and maybe add a few Dark Angel models. That didn't work out, but it's still a nice way to get some variety into an army.




This unit consists mostly of the new Death Guard metal models.


And, because I still had so many special weapons lying around, I gave in and build me a havoc squad. I hope that one day I will be able to field real Death Guard havocs again and not just Space Marines who have to carry a big stick so they won't forget how to fart.



I'm in desperate need of attention, give me some feedback.

Looking good, have you considered doing some of them in the classic earth tones ? They look good in green, do you use washes, on plague marines washes really help.

Those Death Guard are nice! I like the mix of old & new models, makes for a great "ragtag" army!

How much time is expected for finishing up the paint?

I really like your Plague Marines a lot. Makes me consider getting back to mine.

Nice use of the Iron Warriors upgrade kit. So far I like the way that your army is shaping up, but I think that the green you are using now is a bit too clean looking, maybe that's just me, but maybe some washes would help there..

Keep it coming, going to have to show your work to my nephew. He's working on Death Guard too.

I'M PAINTING AGAIN!!!

Seriously, it must've been at least 3 months. But now I'm back and I have multiplied my productivity by listening to music while painting instead of watching sitcoms.

Jokes aside, I have a lot of work to do. Currently I'm painting a bunch of troops for my Traitor Guard, but I still have 2 Blight Drones waiting for me and recently ordered a Talos which I will somehow integrate into my greater Nurgle army once I found a better use than just another Spawn.

yes a nurgle talos, i has been waiting for this!

Not much, but it's coming along.





The plan for my Traitor Guard is, that I want to field one Platoon based on the Forgeworld Traitor models and another using Catachan parts with the leftover Cadian torsos and different heads.
And probably conscripts based on Empire flagelants and Plague Monks as seen on the first page.

Your Traitor Guard is a genuine inspiration. I love how you're using the PIP gas mask heads, I really like them a lot.

Glad to see you back, looking forward to whatever comes next!

Finished painting the guys above, I'll post some pics later.
I'm really happy with how they turned out. Can't wait to do more for this army.

As a newly converted follower of Papa Nurgle, your stuff is epic. Very Inspiring!

My Talos arrived, but it'll have to wait till I'm finished with the two guardsmen squads I'm working on atm.

I've finished the first two squads, but when this army grows they'll be attached to different looking platoons. One based on the Forge World Traitors, the other on Catachans, more or less. Let me know what you think.

I'm probably gonna work on my Talos next, though I still don't know how I could use him. There's nothing interesting in the Guard codex and I have more than enough models for various Chaos Spawns.
I'll probably take the rules from another book and only use it in Apocalypse games. The Tyranid Venomtrope seems like a good idea, if I can get enough smockstacks on its back. On the other hand, the Talos is a real beast. But it would feel cheap to use a Talos as a Talos.

I've been working on a concept for a Veteran squad. Well, I still had party lying around and wanted to to some kitbashing, but the results the same:





But that's just the appetizer. I begann working on my Nurgle Talos. Well, finished it mostly. At least the model.











Let me know what you think.

That thing... is pretty darn ugly. And reallly cool. ;-)
