Yeah, he is a big boy... 12 inches of prime nurgle goodness! Works out a little taller than a Warhound Titan, so perfect for a massive Daemon. I ordered a 130mm wooden circle to use as a base but it is far too small...

Decided to give myself a break from Green Stuffing and got a load more work done on the Khorne BloodThrone thing.



It was now I realised I had forgotten to add a couple of pieces to the roller piece in the middle





Had enough for the day, there is a lot of detail...

Skin has been textured with a mix of super glue and PVA, basically you put down some PVA, put a spot of super glue on top and mix... it will look good painted but is quite shocking at the moment.

Not the final base either, I've hot glued it to a spinny airbrush thing, so will make it easier to handle. I'm probably going to cover it in a mix of paint and PVA later to seal it and give me a decent surface to paint over.

Oooooh yeah, I always wanted to use that pva-superglue trick on a large demon, this will be a pleasure to paint !

Not been hobbying much this week, but base is now roughed out, Daemon attached and will start painting now.

Couple of WIP shots of a leg.





Hope it is giving an impression of cloth becoming one with the flesh and leg...

Wow, properly disgusting, as it should !

Trying my best to disgust everyone Thanks for checking in!





Most of the colours blocked in. Basically I use layers of contrast paints to get a base colour, then drybrush and glaze it with washes and more contrast paint. Once I am happy with the overall look, I'll add detail and highlights/shades where I think it needs it.

Painting done. Just the base to do then I will try and get some decent pictures.

Suitably disgusting - I think this is the perfect use of contrast paints, and the results are truly gross (in a good way!)

Thanks for sharing

Very cool, the mix of colours makes it very interesting while the drybrushes and glazes tie all the different areas together. Nicely done, and the conversion as a whole is also very cool.

Cheers guys for the kind words, appreciate them.























Keep noticing where I have missed little bits and see white showing through and it needs a varnish, otherwise I am not doing another thing to it. Done!!!

Very very cool, especially pleasant sword !

Cheers, I think the sword is quite effective especially as it is just a bit of plastic card, hot glue and some paint.

Anyway, I have started another Build Your Own project. Currently can't afford to spend the money on a Great Unclean One (and there are quite a few nice Not-GUO on the market that are also out of my price range) so...



It is now I realise the arms are far too low.



Bulked up the body with cheap foil and hot gun



Using up Das Clay I suddenly remembered I had opened last year and had in an air tight container... still seems to be good so will save a little on greenstuff (not that GS is that expensive if you buy in bulk). Used a polystyrene egg for the head part as it will be easy to take material away to get it to the right proportions. I already had the eggs as they are going to be part of a scenery project, sometime.

Sweet, another huge demonic project !

Inspired by KernelTerror's group shots...

Group shot of my current Nurgle stuff



Group shot of all my Chaos related stuff



More work on my not-GUO - He is on a 130mm base, so should be about similar in size to GWs version, but as I have never seen one in real life, not sure.

This is starting to look propper nurgly, job well done

Thanks for the group shots ! Such army shots are always a satisfying sight.
Nice foot too !

Cheers guys, appreciate the kind words.

Even more Nurgly now... hopefully these are in Chronological order so it makes sense...also finger prints are great for texture, or that is my excuse anyway!















Still quite a bit to do.

Just a little bit to do on the sword arm and it will be ready for an undercoat. Unfortunately the sword has flopped down a little from the angle I wanted it to be but oh well.

The white texture is not what you think it is... it is actually packing peanuts and PVA. It makes a great texture. I usually put PVA where I want the texture, press part of a packing peanut on, then add more PVA to the top and as the PVA soaks in poke it with a brush.

Started to add some paint...

And now just the base to finish and take some bad photos in better light.

GUO with my Giant...



GUO with friends.





Front, Sides and Rear









Other shots

Really nice and grotty blog; very old skool vibe and cool conversions.

Grandfather Nurgle be praised!

Cheers for the nice words. Old school is the best school! Anyway time for something different.

I painted these in July and have only gotten round to putting stuff on their bases. Pictures aren't great as they are gloss varnished and I still need to tidy them and add a few flowers before they get sprayed with some matt varnished (they need a good blow to ensure all the loose grass is off the base and figures to begin with). As my airbrush is in the shed, and the shed is too cold (and disorganised), it might be spring before they get finished... but I thought I would show them and show I am not just into maggots and tentacles.

Started on my Plague Tower of Nurgle... don't ask why!

Started on the wheels... Green stuff and milk carton lids.





It is going to have a slime tank to power the machine and use as a weapon... This is a porridge container, PVA and packing peanuts.



They have started to get the base and tower bit built.





I've been very rough and ready so far but it should turn out ok.

Solid work on the wooden wheels ! Should be again another titanic and interesting build to follow.

Cheers

Ok, it looks like Thomas the Tank engine gone wrong at the moment, but it will be more Nurgle than steam engine soon!



I really need to wash my floor around were I work as well....

Super work on all your Burrows and Badgers minis. It's great to see more Burrows and Badgers representation on Dakka and I Love the selection you've got. Magic crow, crossbow soldier weasel, aluring Vixen. So much variety and character.
Some very nice freehand detail work on the clothing patterns too and not a plague-ridden magot in sight!

Thank you, @theCrowe. I'm a big fan of Oathsworms minis and have backed all of their kickstarters except for the last one... shamefully these are the first ones I have painted, but I will go back and get the rest painted when I stop being obsessed with maggots...

These pictures won't make sense... basically it is a possessed siege engine with lots of plague guns that are fuelled by some weird tentacle thing that sits on the back. Its footprint is about A4 and I guess it will have at least another two levels - I didn't consider its weight or storage before I started. The last clay I used shrank a lot, especially compared to all the previous stuff but the cracks are just an opportunity to add more tentacles and gribbly bits.

After clearing the hobby stuff from dining room table for Christmas, I took a wee hobby break, started a new job and haven't been doing a lot of hobby - just building a few models. Going to get back on the painting horse now, but this is what I have been up to...



In this box I've the new Blood Bowl edition built, the Plague Marine Heroes, another bunch of naked Celts from Victrix, the Space Marine half of Indomitus, the Kill Team box with the Nurgle in it, plus a couple of months of Age of Sigmar partworks magazine and a few other things.

Next goal is getting the Necron bit of Indomitus built...



And this is the current state of my Plague Tower



Still a load of work to do on it. Hopefully updating my Blog will get me going again and get plenty of painting done.
