Ok so i am back after my little break, tho i am afraid i dont have any picture updates however i do have a list of things to come during the glorious new year!

- Finish Nurgle Defiler: self explanitory

- Convert new defiler into a "transfromer" Walker: dont know how im going yo do this yet i dont want him looking all stubby since there is only one set of claws that i planned on using as legs but we will see

- Create a Death Guard Raptor Squad: i have the Forgeworld bits for death guard and i have assault marine jet packs that i will attach so nothing too extensive but i thought it would be fun.

-Finish Painting Chosen squad- the squad is almost done just a few more things and they will be good.

-get more bases- i am running low on the infested bases so i need more so i can complete my army's basing.

-finish predetor tanks - i have one magnetized on the turret so i can have lascannons or autocannons so its pretty cool in my eyes, and i still need to build and magnitize the other.

Finish Rhinos: not really to much to do on these but still needs to be done

so thats what i have to do so far during this new year, again thanks for following and stay tuned for new updates!

So i worked on my Raptors yesterday so i have a small update but an update non the less, i kinda go a little insiration from Stalk Bloodaxe in using Imperial Jump packs since they were Imperial at one point so ya figure they have some lying around but anyways here is one, i have just did a small kit bash but effective all the same.

He is looking cool. Dont forget to drill the barrel

Nice work there mate! Consider me subbed!

Bash

Yay! I got credited on an awesome thread!

That Raptor looks great and is going to look so perfect when it is done. Are you going to GS / mess up the Jump Pack at all?

...and of course this just remind me that mine aren't here yet. My wife needs to get to the post office! She works about 10 minutes from there, I work almost an hour and a half in the other direction! I need to change my PO box to something I can check myself.

@M0rdain: yea i will do it, i usually dont but looking around i see it looks better.

@Bash the Bosh: THANKS i hope you continue to emjpy what i do.

@Skalk Bloodaxe: Thank you as well and yes i credit you, i was gonna use the packs on a Vanilla SM Army but then i saw your thread and the wheels just started turning lol. I think i am gonna do something to them but i dont have too much experience with GS and dont wanna mess up the model.

ok well as of last night i was working on the Raptors but wanted to mix it up a bit so i started to look into how i could convert the Defiler like i want and as of the moment i worked on a leg and i like how it looks but you be the judge. I also worked on an arm but i may nee to do some GS work on it to just fill in gaps and such.

Good work here buddy keep it up!

Hey all another update, i have been flying through the models building them up and all, Paint soon to come. I finished building all the Raptors i want Basic idea behind them is to run forward with the Daemon Princes and make my opponent split his fire and if he does happen to focus on a single target there are 2 others to worry about. I also have a Predator done and i have the turret Magnetized for autocannons or lascannons and here they are.


and like i said i will be painting more this weekend so i will have more pictures of them monday and i plan on getting a picture of the whole army thus far so something to look forward to. Thanks for checking this all out and see ya next time!

Dude, it's NURGLE. You can't "mess" it up, it's called "Feature-Rich Detail". My secret to GS is to splop some on, poke at it a bit, wait a short while and then poke it some more once it starts to cure. Experiment a bit, but you'll do fine.

so just a small update today, i primed and painted up a bit on the new Raptor Squad really only got the green down im gonna do a little GS work on the packs but not too much just to get the point across, i also have been working on a small side project to help prepare for a new campaign i will be participating in.

The Campaign will have 6 planets and 5-6 players to control them, from my understanding it will start at 500 points and work its way up to 2,000 points in 250 point increments, basically showing a growing force for each faction and allows armies to change. there will also be strategy cards that each player can get but they will be at random so you cant tailor your fights. easy campaign rules kill the other guy, not sure how long it will last but should be fun.

Also I have been thinking about building up a small Space Marine list 500-1000 points but i really wanna know, are command squads any good?

looking good, Im looking fer some chaos back packs fer my night lords. ..... might use Possessed winged backpacks mmmm

Praise papa nurgle!

Hey all i have been kinda slow lately on my painting and such but it is not for lack of trying, i dont have any picture updates today but i have been working on the plague Marines,

i have:
- 2 full squads done, and only 5 models left in the 3rd
- 5 Raptors are painted and bases only 5 more left.
- Still need to paint the Chosen, 5 of them.

I have also made up a battle report, i am working on editting it together so i should have that posted here soon, it was a 3000 Point game, Chaos Vs Eldar, was an objective match up. I hope to post it tomorrow or the day after. so Small update for today. i hope yall have been enjoying my thread sorry for the little delay this past week.

Don't worry about not updating. People that are subbed will stay subbed and come back around when they see an update. I go for weeks w/ nothing and then flood my blog with massive updates for a week and then.... *crickets chirping* ... nothing for a while again.

It's the ebb and flow of creativity and motivation. Sometimes it's good to take a break.

Hey all i am back an i have alot of updates for you.

I have been keeping up on working on my armies but Nurgle has been my main focus,

I went to the Bowie battle bunker and played a 3k point game with a friend of mine and we made a battle report with a camera i own and here it is on youtube

now to the updates in actual modeling: I have been guided to make a lighting box from a buddy of mine and he showed my how to do it and he has set up a blog about how to do it, among other thing here is the link to the blog

http://junglesoflustria.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/hobby-process-improvement-1-picture-lightbox/

Now for my actual photo update, as you have seen from my previous pictures they are not that great IMO, so with this new box they look much much better and here they are



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Thank you for watching my progress i will have an army shot here soon as i am finishing some painting for a 1500 doubles tournament this saturday!

They look great in the light box, and the Prince looks outstanding. Although your Parrotlet looks a little healthy to be a follower of Nurgle

yeah,
lovely bunch of slime boys you have there.
the light box makes your photos so much better.

Panic...

Nice job. You are working pretty fast and the results look nice. Im jealous. It takes me five years to do the work that you have done.
You know what. You should try out typhus some time, if you ever decide to get a land raider. He kicks so much butt its stupid. I usually run him with a squad of termies but whether or not hes with termies or marines, he still causes a lot of terror.
Love the ultraforge Demon. I bid on one of those from Ebay but i didnt win it. :(

Your wish is my command, i have already taken a stab at Typhus, i plan to try and have a unit of Terminators and Typhus for fun but and i have a Land Raider but Chaos Versions suck IMO mainly because compared to the Original they are not as good. However i have taken the thought into concideration and i have dubbed them the "Ty Fighters" corny yes but effective. well here is Typhus for ya and one of the terminators i have started to join him.

Daemon Prince, and bird poo.... fear him!


nice models.

Dude... just wow! That DP model is by far my absolute favorite of any I've seen (including the one I have, also by UltraForge) and the photo quality you have achieved is ace! Your painting skills are excellent and your conversions are inspired. I am really liking this project and was genuinely happy to see an update.

Looking forward to seeing what you share next!

These are some great guys. Keep up the good work.

Hey guys just a little update today, no pictures i am afraid.

First off, thank you all for the compliments, they keep me going with my painting and such. I am very much enjoying this lighting box and i hope to have some pictures of my whole army soon.

Secondly, this past weekend i played in a doubles tournament with a friend of mine, actually he was the guy i played the 3k battle report with. we did ok but there was a nasty combo of Tau and Grey Knights that just stole the show. I do have to say i was surprised that me and 2 other players out of 16 people actually had painted armies. sadly i have a predetor tank to finish but still, was kinda disappointed.

so thats what has been up, Also on a side note i picked up a Warhammer Fantasy Rulebook after much nagging from a friend of mine and i have Started a Skaven Army. i have started up a blog to keep them going as well i have exactly 1 model actually painted and its the Warlord from the Island of Blood set, but i plan to run him as a Chieftan with a BSB.

there is the link i hope you check it out, i will still be posting nurgley goodness here so stay tuned!

Hello one and all, i am back with a vengence to get some more chaos marines painted up and on the table!

I have some picture of the current projects as they stand now and i will be posting as they progress. In case you were wondering I found myself in a Warmachine kick and was painting Cygnar for a while but did not deem it worth of a P&M blog here on Dakka. I am going to continue to work on nurgle but i think its time to spread the ranks and "allow" Khorne to stop by, i think i will have a squad of Berzerkers and only because i have the models and i need a unit that can kill a little faster then the plague marines. but i digress on to the updates!

Progress is looking good! Any new updates? Makes me want to work w/ my DG again but I'm going to wait until I know what 6th Ed is going to offer.

i have been working on these guys and need to take some pictures, i hear 6th ed is on the rise so i might start a small wait to see how the new rules effect what i have

I'm doing the same thing. Working a lot on terrain, but won't build or paint another miniature until I get some solid info on 6th Ed. and how it is going to affect my armies.

Hey All, once more its time to start up my blog, I will be expanding my Chaos Force quite a bit!

The plan now is to have Epidimius in the Force and light up the enemy with my Armour ignoring 3+ FNP! Im sure when the FAQ comes out for Chaos or the new Codex they will nerf it but for now WE PRESS ON!

So the list is as follows: (For now)

HQ: Daemon Prince x2 w/ wings and MoN 300

Troops: 2 x Plague Marines(6)+ Melta Gun(2) (276)
Champion + PF+ Plasma Pistol + Melta Bombs
Rhino
...
1 x Plague Marines(6)+ Plasma Gun(2) (286)
Champion + PF+ Plasma Pistol + Melta Bombs
Rhino

Heavy: 2x Havoc(5) +4 Rocket Launchers+ MoN
Rhino

Allies: Epidimium 110
3x Beast of Nurgle 105
10x Plague Bearers 150

Now with this being Said this is all not in stone ATM. so i am sure there will be changes but this list will still be fun to play.

I have a few new upgrade that i will be purchasing from forgeworld.....

I just plain need these doors, they will make the Land Raider look so much better. (Stupid Imperium symbols)


Then of course i need the Rhino ones to replace the current plain doors


Now next on the list is my new Havoc Squads, you have all seen the forgeworld Plague Marines i have i plan to make a new set into the 10 havocs i need and i will be using forgeworld Special Weapons to do it and these are the ones.



Finally here are a few photos of some WIP i have. Once i have more and get my light box out you will see the rest thanks for checking out my thread! hope you come back!

Glad to see you excited about getting back to work on your force! I think the Epidemius / Plague Marine combination is going to yank a LOT of people but it's going to be very difficult to change unless the new Chaos Daemon codex directly affects Epidemius. The new rules are *very* clear about Battle Brothers.

This is going to generate many complaints from the general 40K population about this. And you know what? It's about time. 5th edition sucked the life out of fluff-friendly themed armies. Some would disagree, but I stand by that statement and will continue to do so even when it's not in my favor so long as it is in line w/ the established storyline of 40K. I'm very happy to see the Imperium has once again reluctantly accepted the Abhumans as part of Imperial resources. They even acknowledge Squats again. I predict good things coming from this edition.

Nice haul from FW. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with this.

I was a bit skeptical at first, but then the light box photos came and I had to do a big 180 on my opinion!

More lightbox photos please!
