Then the effect is achieved perfectly lol. Really love what your doing, secialy with those renegade squads

very cool indeed

one thing, i thing in my oppinion your vet nurgle dude needs to be more mutated or more nurgled then the one you have done. at the moment i think he just looks a bit too rank and file when put next to your other nurgle catchen guys you have.

i do love the talo convertion though! very cool

yea!
what did you think i missed them lol. i like them i just think he should have more if he is a vet, like a arm and legs or a different head or somthing more dangerous and chaosy.

I really like the Vet. The Rewards of Chaos are from fickle gods who either don't understand or don't care that not all of their attentions are to the benefit of the recipient. I think the art of understatement is being lost in 40K. I completely understand what bigfish is saying, but do not necessarily agree that the Vet needs to be different.

He does need a backbanner, though. And a plasma cannon.



As always, stunning and inspiring work. Your Traitor Guard are just ... wow, I get all excited when I see stuff like this. I really really really like this thread. A lot.

I ordered a few more Forge World parts and I'll probably have to order some more regular guard stuff as well. I guess I'll do a Command squad next and finish a Veteran squad. That the way the army will at least be fieldable. (is that a real word?)

I've been thinking about the Veterans a little bit more. Not sure how I could equip them yet, but I'l try how Ork torsos will look on the bigger Beastmen legs.

*Subscribed* Excellent blog, just spent 30 minutes reading through it, and I must say I love your nurgle armies! Just one question.... How do you afford forgeworld models without selling organs?! O.o

Touché! Oh yeah, have you thought of using bloodletters for some of those plaguebearers? Here's a link to a tutorial: http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=69622

'ez Nurgl-y. He'z got plenty to spare.

I can't see the pictures because I'm not a member of the forum.

Never mind though, my 4th squad of Plaguebearers will be based on Orks anyway.

Ok... Will be waiting for updates!

If you like what you see here, check out the Death Guard and Traitor Guard/Mutants/Kitbash/Whatever from Skalk Bloodaxe. He's got some interesting stuff in there, including a Land Raider that makes me want to rip my own apart.

already subbed to your plog dude

Since I'm still waiting for my next Forge World order I decided to paint a few Plaguebearers I got from a friend. Now I have 3 squads of 7, each based on different models.



Next I'm going to paint some Orks I still had lying around and then will probably work on some more veterans. I currently don't have the money to order more Guard stuff, so I'll try what I can get out of my Bitzbox first.

Here's a few text updates, since I'm too lazy to take pictures:

1. I did not forget about the walking Plaguetower or the Abomination Defiler. It's just not in the budget at the moment.

2. You know what looks really cool on a Forge World Techpriest? Dark Eldar parts.

3. I ordered more Traitor Guard torsos and and a Krieg rider from Forgeworld. If my plan works out, I might have some really awesome Nurgle cavalery.

4. I have a Scavy gang lying around, but I'm not really sure as what I could use them. I'm not sure if I like the Penal Legionaires. They would sure look awesome in a regular Gaurd force, but they wouldn't really stand out in my army. So I'm considering using them as another Veteran squad. Maybe as the one with Meltabombs.

5. Speaking of Veterans, I still want to do a unit based on guard parts with Beastmen legs, though I'm not sure as what to use them. I think they would look great as the stealth squad for Seargant Harker, but the model I have in mind for him, a Necromunda Scaly with a heavy machine gun, doesn't have hoves, so he would't really fit it.

6. Sooner or later I have to get me a Hellhound. I can't believe the Imperial Guard has a tank that can fire toxic sludge. It's like they made this book for me. xD

7. Ratling snipers seem to be a much better choice then regular snipers. Still thinking about how I could build them. I'm thinking Skaven plague monks with empty hoods.

8. Ogryns are a must have for this army. I'm considering combining them with Oblitorators. And I still have a few LotR Trolls lying around.

9. On ther marine side, I'll have some more painting to do, before I can field them again.

10. I also still have two unpainted Blight Drones waiting for me.

11. And Nurglings.

12. And I really have to build those other 4 Plaguebearer Orks.

Read you later.

Thanks for the link, I really appreciate it.

I *love* those old school Plaguebearers! I have a bunch of them that I used to run in my Death Guard during 2nd Ed before they got nerfed into "one size fits all" for tourney play. Feh. I can't wait for 5th ed to die a horrible withering death.

Scavvies in this army... would be kind of lost as stock model but w/ a bit of GS they would become anything you wanted them to be. I really like how you can take a random model from whatever force (40K or WFB) and make it work in your army w/o an issue.

Your "to do" list is massive. Makes me feel lucky that I have only (*thinking*...) uhm... yeah. I stopped thinking about it, my brain started to hurt. I'm logging off Dakka and going to go get some work done.

It's been a while since my last game, so when my brother went for another round with our 40k group I decided to tag along and have a quick game on my own. I never really "played" Demons, so I thought I could give them a try just for kicks, now that I actually have 3 units of Plaguebearers.



Long story short: I lost against Blood Angels but it took him a while to kill all my stuff. After round 5 he had one of the two objectives and almost had me completly wiped out. Except for Mamon, who is tougher and cheaper than anything I can field with the Demon 'dex alone.



The Plague Drone wasn't shot down till the end, but my rolls were horrible so it didn't actually do anything. Except looking insanly cool.



The Beasts of Nurgle didn't to anything, but I have so many cool models for them.



While unpacking my army, I noticed something else. Something I've noticed before and what ticks me off every time. Here's the thing. I'm an Ork player. I love me some Space Orks. They're my first army and will always have a special place in my green heart. But it annoys the hell out of me, realising how much better a Space Marine army, or an Eldar army or even my Chaos Demons look like on the table, simply because they fit together so much better than the giant ragtag force of Orks I've collected over the last 10 years.
The flair will be probably be lost once I field the "triple army of doom" but right now I'm actually kinda annoyed how good my army looks on the table, conseridng that I never planed to actually field them as a single force.

Your army looks fantastic your nurgle daemon is stunning, I cant believe I dident notice your blog earlier, keep up the great work.

I'm considering using the rules for Straken for my own commander. I just have now idea how he should look. Maybe a cape and a skull helmet?

Great army

I love the Nurgle Talos, nice job!!

I really enjoyed seeing everything together in one shot. It's very cohesive and looks great.

I used to be an Ork player as well (was my first army and love of 40K) but I doubt I'll field them again, the "scale creep" makes my Nobs in 'Eavy Armor look like Grots in Power Armor. My Dreadnoughts are smaller than Killa Kans now. The change in rules have made my individual clans pointless. Gaah.

As I've said, I still have a Scavy gang lying around. Here's a pic from the GW site.

I'll probably use the Scaly as my Seargent Harker for the Veteran squad, even though I'm not sure if it would fit, when the rest of the squad has hooves.

And I just have to do something cool with the leader. He just screams for a big part in my armyn but I can't decide as what. He's a bit puny to be my big HQ, but it'd be a shame if he ended up as a simple seargent.

The rules for the penal legion are really good, but I just don't have a good idea how to integrate them into my army.

I've been thinking about the Talos a little more. After adding 2 more smoke stacks I decided there is only one way to go.

I will use this model:


With this guy's rules:



Yeah, it's 'nid, so what. This army is supposed be played mostly on Apocalypse games anyway. Though that does mean, that I'll have to get rid of the crab arm. And I used plastic glue. And, I wasted the Chaos Spawns long tentacle arm on a Demon Ork conversion, so I'll have to make due with the regular chaos tentacle, attached to a larger arm.

My Forge World order arrived, though I won't get my hands on it till monday. Still, now I have enough parts to build at least one command squad which makes this army almost fieldable.

On a side note, I've been playing Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D recently and almost regretted, that I never really did do that Resident Evil-themed army I always wanted. Those different soldier majinis would make an awesome army. Ah well, maybe I'd build a Necromunda gang or something similar some point in the future.

Anung Un Rama wrote:My Forge World order arrived, though I won't get my hands on it till monday.

Have you started to twitch yet? So close... soooo close. Ha.

Sooner or later I'll have to add a few models from the Warmachine Cryx range to this army. Here are a few ideas:

When the guard part of this army is done, I expect to have 3 command squads. And each one will get one of these guys as a medic.


Close combat Servitors

Or, if I'm lucky, the new Sisters 'dex will have decent rules for Repentias.

In any case, these guys might work better as Servitors.



Special Weapons squad with "flamers"


I really have no idea, but I want one.


Let me know what you think.

Whats the name of the medics models?! They look awesome! Would you mind if I used them in my nurgle army?

The medics are called Cephalyx Overlords, but you might also want to check out the unit lead by one:
