I'm loving this! Great project and keep up the great work!
I'm wondering about something thought, can orks really be corrupted by chaos? I don't know if I'm confusing them with Tau, but I can't shake the feeling that I've read somewhere that orks can't be corrupted. Althought.....mushrooms aint immune to mold, so I guess there's no problem xP

Thanks guys!

Im glad you like my scavvies yggdrasil, i must say im pretty pleased with the names myself, i just based them of what they looked like Im also really glad you liked the norks to, i have long been a huge fan of nurgle but space marines just aint my thing, way to boring to paint and model although i have always loved orks because of the ragtag, ramshackle style so nurgle orks was the next logical step

Though i must say that im the other way around, i really dont like vehicles and is more of a monster fan though the ork trukk and battlewagon are really cool but im not sure what i could do to nurglify them, the finished army only includes one trukk so i thought i should make it kinda a centrepiece of the army alongside my planned dreadnought. But i have a bunch of trukks lying around so if you have any ideas as how to nurglify them please share and ill see what i can do, perhaps ill make both a squiggoth and a trukk and see which one turns out to be the cooler

Thanks Eric! Yeah i felt that the masks on the boars gave them a more sinister, nurgley look instead of the kinda comical look the orks always seem to go for, though i dont know if i should paint them as flesh masks, that would be cool, it would give them kinda a texas chainsaw massacre leatherface feel, i just bought another box of boars so i will have to paint one up and try that. If that fails i think ill just go for the standard tattered, old cloth look

Also im not sure about the dreads either, ill just have to bluetac em on there and see what it looks like

Thanks Limbo! Im not sure about the tau, never really liked them so i havent bothered reading anything about them, but i know that the orks can be corrupted, theres actually a picture in the daemonhunter codex of nurgle orks, or at least i think they are nurgle orks, well atleast they are chaos orks

On a sidenote, tomorrow i have the whole day off so expect some heavy modeling to be done tomorrow


Peace out!

Just caught up with your updates.

I nearly fell off my chair at the thought of mega armoured river trolls. Fingers crossed.

I meant to ask in my previous post if you were going to be arming the Boars with twin linked dakkaguns on some sort of support rig?

I'd stick well clear of tentacle hair on the Weirdboy. Orks don't have hair, though Nurgle does like worms. Also on the Weirdboy would/might his head pose look better if he was still looking in the same direction but his head was less angled over (as in his chin was more level with the base)? Next time you have update photos please could you take one as if he were looking directly at the camera lens?

Looking forward to seeing some paint on these guys. Are you using liquitex texture paint on the models or on the bases?

Cheers

Peter

Hey Peter!

Ill fix those pictures for ya tomorrow, im also gonna try to finish the weirdboy tomorrow and as i said in my last post ill just bluetac the tails on and see what it looks like

As for the boars, im gonna give each rider one of the guns you get for the lootas to represent the dakkaguns for wysiwyg purposes, ive already made one rider and it think it looks really good actually. I will see if i cant post a pic of that tomorrow to.

Hehe glad that you seem to like the idea for my meganobz though i must say its gonna be one hell of a conversion job but my plans for it is to not have the model completely covered in armour but instead let some of the bloated nurgly stuff represent some of the armour. but the top half of them will be coverd in some sort of rusted up, broken megaarmour. But i think ill have to order a large amount if bothgreenstuff and plasticard cause each nob will require atleast one package of greenstuff

The liquitex i plan on using both for the bases and the models, i was looking at youtube for painting tutorials and found some of les bursleys awsome tutorials, and in one where he painted a carnifex he used some liquitex stuff to give the plates more texture and i think you can get some cool rusteffects from it to, but we will see how that turns out once i start painting the army

Very cool nurgle orks.

These sculps are spectacular! Eventhough the idea is more or less stupid from top to bottom but I still can't argue that you wouldn't have done good work! : D

Nice!

Might even "steal" the idea, hmm.

your warboss looks epic!

Really love the army theme you're going with. Your green stuff modeling is impressive too. So far the models look fantastic I can't wait to see more and how the boarboyz come out!

How silly.

Looks good!

Awesome! Can't wait to see them painted up!

Norks. BRILLIANT! I'd love to see some more of this army.

The wierdboy should be vomiting all over something.
The blog is shaping up great! I love the models!

Sorry guys for the lack of updates the last few days, ive done alot of work on the army but ive spent alot of time with my girl and now im sick so i havent had the chance to update this blog but hopefully i will later today.

I also want to thank you for all the nice comments!

Blambi, go ahead and steal away but be sure to let me know when you post some pics so i ge to see them

axelwars1: yeag perhaps, i have the rivertroll vomitpiece lying around somewhere might try that or have him vomiting fire perhaps

Oh i forgot, i also got my deathmarshalls for Malifaux and a big shipment of trollbloods for hordes so expect to some pics of those to in the next couple of days

Where is the bit you used for the mouth piece on the Nurgle warboss from?

i think that is a piece of the stormboys rocket backpack. Am I right?

Love the weirdboy. Never been too tempted to jump into orks, but a project like this intrigues me.

If only I wasn't worthless with greenstuff.

Yes Scrazza is correct, its one of the top pieces from one of the stormboy jumppacks

Thanks mcnutty! Glad you like the weirdboy, ive done some more work on him today so now hes almost finished, just have a aslight bit of greenstuffing left to do on him, ill try to get some pics up tomorrow as i am sick as hell today :( and just practice with the greenstuff and get a set och good tools and its actually not that hard, especially not nurgle stuff

Peace out!

ha I was right. Any updates on that weirdboy? I like the design of him.

Oh and once again i forgot, i would love some ideas from you guys about things i can do with my boyz, i have 15 left to model for my 25 man strong unit and i have a couple of cool ideas left but i really need some help with conversions, poses and nurgly mutations so please let the ideas flow


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Yeah Scrazza, ive finished both the arms on him and some more small detailing on the flames so now theres just some veins to sculp on the arms and finish off the base and hes done

do you have the chaos spawn kit in your possession? there are some kick ass bits in there you could use for some conversions.
you could give one a look of a snake. simply don't use legs, greenstuff a big fat tail on him!

These are looking really good mate, looking forward to seeing the stegadon/thing completed

yeah i have some of the bits left from it, as you can see on some of the boyz ive used some parts on them, though i also gave some away to q0rbin. Hm thats not a bad idea with the snake Scrazza, but instead of a snake perhaps i could sculpt a huge snailtail on him

^^
that would be even better. You don't have to look far for inspiration if you fancy nurgle. Just think of something gross.

Awesome work! Definitely subscribed to this thread.

For Nurgly mutations bloated bellies, sores, open sores, open wounds. Maybe fly like eyes, bulging eyes. Beweaponed extremities. Take off the lower jaw and have some type of organic or mechanical tube in place (like the mutant Quovandius from the inquisitor range). In fact as Scrazza said...anything gross. Oh one more Cross breed with a rat...Skaven Rat Ogres?

Best modelling tool I've ever bought for green stuff...clay shapers. Great aint they.

Peter

ok sorry once again lads for the lack of updates, havent had as much to to model the last couple of days as i would have liked but i promise that tomorrow i will have a nice update for ya all

And thanks for the tips guys, i definantly have some new ideas now for the boyz!

Thanks Eric! Yeah i felt that the masks on the boars gave them a more sinister, nurgley look instead of the kinda comical look the orks always seem to go for, though i dont know if i should paint them as flesh masks, that would be cool, it would give them kinda a texas chainsaw massacre leatherface feel, i just bought another box of boars so i will have to paint one up and try that. If that fails i think ill just go for the standard tattered, old cloth look

When I looked at them, I ONLY thought 'flesh masks.' the idea that they might be anything else never even crossed my mind.
IMO, you should do them as flesh masks.

Oh, and re: Loota guns -- Any chance those guns would mount on the boars themselves?

Eric

Man, I can't wait to see these updates. I think I'm gonna die of an.........ticipation.

this is great work. would love to see the whole army set up!
