Whoa, nice base colors on the rhino, looking great already. I like the red eyes / plague-bumps in there too, nice shock of color.

You should make this a project log Thing, at the rate you're going it'd make quite a solid one

Havnt posted anything for like the psat two days been kinda busy, well either way, ive been of to the store too buy som cork sheet and some water effects liquid thingymajigg stuff to be able to model the bases, so far ive modelled the terminators and right now im lettign the water effects dry and then also i have based the possesed, i really like how the possessed look, different from what i expected, but i like it Wanted them to look really wild so most of the models arnt standing on both feet. wanted the effect of them jumping from rock to rock in a hurry to get close and kill.

Havnt gotten that much painting done, just a slight little bit on the rhino and just the assembly of my demon prince, or atleast startign to pin the legs together and fill in the cracks in the torso and so on.

Hey really like the posing on these makes a model everyone does into something difrent cant wait to see witch way you go on nurgle stuff i can honestly say at the moment these are some of the best posssesd i have seen but you could easily ruin it with the wrong choice of bits

keep it up!

rhids

yeah i know, possessed are difficult, i didnt add any plague on them because, sicne they were already fairly demonic and all i though that it would probably just look bad with more stuff on them, but we'll see how the turn out

I have started to sculpt my chaos marines now, just nothing special just adding the hanging belly, never done this before, pretty damn happ with how it turned out

The paintjobs are good and clean and the purple/green contrast always looks great with nurgle. Keep up the good work!

So Today ive done a bit of everything. I rebased my havocs black so i could repaint them in my new color scheme, added trophies to 19 backpakcs( I think 19) and painted the base color for the possessed and have started to sculpt on my demon prince and my second rhino, so yeah, like i said abit of everything

models are looking amazing, great colour scheme.
also, not sure is its too late, but with the flat GS bases, all i did a while back was put a ball of GS on the base, then crush it with a flat piece of plastic (coat it in water or it will stick) that way it saves time, and it will be 100% flat all the time.

Everything is looking really good so far. I think the one thing I'd recommend the most is to give the drybrush work some washes. I really recommend these. I mix a green/black mixture of about 5:1 green to black. This gives a nice dark green coat and pulls the drybrushed colors together a bit. I do a straight brown wash after this but that's up to you. The bottles are huge for these and will easily last you for an entire army, so I really think they are worth trying.

Your greenstuff work is looking really good as well. The bellies on the CSMs are really cool.

Keep up the good work!

Great sculpting already Thing, I dig it. Wondering what's going on atop the prince, did you putty in the 'backpack' arms? Not a bad idea ...

Painting on those possessed is coming along too!

- Salvage

Yeah i did putty on the backpack joints, i wanted to get wings on there are first, but then i thought that alot of people that play nurgle have some sort of wings on their demon prince so i decided to use the normal backpack thingies, then when i decided to put on the backpack, i got two of the same side so they didnt fit, and because i was to lazy to go back to the store and change for a new one i decided to let the creative juices flow and take over XD

hi people

Havnt posted anything recently, been abit busy, but atleast i almost fnished my whole demon princes base today,still have a few pipes and so on to paint, took a long time,but i almost finished it, got to the store at around 2 and left at 9 but it was fun, met loads o great people and had a good time, so it was definitly worth it. Also i have finished the backpacks for my first squad of death guard,no pictures of that yet though, still havnt had the guts to take pictures, and im really tired now anyway so yeah XD but anyways here are some pics of the base


Creds to Tegeus-cromis by the way fore telling me about this store, its really convinient for me, takes me 10 minutesto walk there so its great even became a member the first day i was thereXD

Regarding your Rhino: Wow! Talk about a dramatic difference from sculpt to final! Love the extra track on the back. One of those little pro touches that really sets a model apart.

The rest of this is looking mighty fine as well. I like that you chose purple instead of standard red/green.

ok Thx for letting me know

Thx for all kind words and help with questions people, great to have such kind support



going to the store today to paint abit, prbably gonna post abit more later t0day when i get home see you guys then

Hi guys, likei said i went to paint yesterday, prolly gonna do the same today, getting under way with my first squad of guys, finished one guy(only base left to finish) and have almost finished 2 more, then i only gots 4 to go, hopefully i will finish atleast half the squad today

Why can't you use the Typhus model? If you don't want him as Typhus you can greenstuff him as required to create a Lord perhaps. I really like the armour colours and the bronze trim, but rather than "Harbingers of death and decay" that purple growth makes me think of your army as the poof patrol. Make it green or brown I reckon.

Edit: I'm sorry, but that CSM made me crack up laughing. I understand that you're trying to make it look like his guts are hanging out, but it looks like his you-know-whats are hanging out... maybe make it a little higher?

I have the typhus model, but its an old one that i dotn wanna repaint, and im gonna buy a terminator lord soon anyway so yeah.......and use ur imagination bro, who said that plague has to be brown or green????

And also, because tehy are pictures adn the camera isnt directly infront of the model maks it look like his P3nis

Havnt had any updates the past two days, havnt been up to much other then helping my borther prepare for him gonig home today, so yeah basically he is leaving tonight which sucks donkey balls, but hey :/ we will survive i guess. gonan miss him like hell tho:(


Either way enough of the crying but still assembled the arms for the last of my terminators now, and i put a deadline on them for tuesday, i hope this will be possible, not too sure yet, but it should work unless anything drastic happens and i have to chagne schedule. Started painting my terminator sorcerer aswell wanted him to stand out seeming he is a special character, so instead of the traditional green as the rest of my death guard are( atleast the common ones that is) but instead i wanted to use bleached bone to really make him visible, i have done the same thing to the shoulder pads of my terminator "leader dude" hahahahahXD

c&c welcome as you people knowXD

Finished color on my terminators today, so all i ahve to do now is to paint the plage and trim the armour and yeah detalis then i have a complete squad of terminatorsD

so yes, the deadline worked for me, i finished the termiantor squad and hav finisehd the body of my sorcerer, also i have started to paint the rest of my first squad, going good so far, will upload some pictures soon, computer is having problems, hahah!!!!

well either way,i was scrolling through some old pictures of my history and i found some really old emeperors children models, really like the color scheme, thinking of doing a slaanesh army alongside my nurgle to give me a little break from nurgle sometimes, this is most definitly neeededXD
ley me know what you think about thecolor scheme
Enjoy

Bought a vindicator today and based both the vindicator and the other rhino.


Really sorry for the weak updates, my internet is realyl screwed up for the moment so i cant upload pictures, so yeah, it kinda suxXD will get to it when it is fixed though C&C welcome

this all looks fantastic my friend, you have very much inspired me to make a warp ghosts chaos blog of my own keep it up

Great stuff you have there. Can't wait to see more.

like the EC theme, but the pink could do with being dulled down a bit.

TheThing wrote:Here is my brothers model, he really wanted me to post it because he was really proud of it, i can certainly understand that, because it is one of the nicest models he has ever painted. the picture as usual aint to great, but like ive said before you people are just gonna have to deal with it hes 13 years old and slightly shaky just like i am, after a 2 year break for him aswell

wow! both of your models are sweat!

BTW where did your brother get those bio wings??? i need a pair badly!

thanks loads!

Matt

Hahaha this is kinda funny, havnt posted anything for a couple fo weeks and havnt gotten any comments for longer and now i just randomly get 4 vomments the past like half hour or something;D happy to see my stuff still works


OK now to answer stuff

Sphynx, thx alot in general, and go for it, definitly, atleast give it a try, if it doesnt work atleast you can say you tried

Devilkin, you probably wont until the weekend XD coz yeah thats porlly when my pc is gonna get fixed

JD, yes the pink is very bright and all, but it gives it a real nice touch actually if you see the actual model and not a picture, looks like brains popping out from the areas coated in the stuff.

And last but not least Matdragon, the wings are from the possessed box, you get a pair ofthese in there both pretty much the same, very simple but really cool




Btw just a note in general, im porbably gonig to be using my possessed as bits, dont really like the models and yeah thats sorta stupid for me buying it in the first place but ohj welll, got a ton of cool bits now


Cheers people

plague marines were my comeback army as well, although... I had a 13 year break. Lokin good, however!
