hi all, first post,

Plague marine 165
5X23 115 aiming for them to look over corrupted and debased
2X5 flamer to close combat peeps.
Champion 15
Power fist 25


my current buy list
vammpire counts tomb cart
for my palanquin

dark angels chapter upgrade, giving me lotsa robed people, one possible for sorc\eror to be based on

chaos marines 10 set
for heavy conversion into plague marines



so sorceror:
standing where the robed figure is normally,
and painting all nurgle with normal assembly.

or other plan goes dont glue in the corpsses and create in essense a walking nurgle temple on the cart and my sorceror in the middle

possible chance, once this is done
for a nurglified major daemon (most likeyl from a warhammer giant kit)
and 10 daemons (from vampir crypt ghouls) lot cheaper
and some additions to fill out the points.



my Questions, does anyone have any ideas or thought to this matter?

You could attempt to use a hot glue gun to "nurgafy" them.
just a thought though

For the record, post the entire cost of the unit and not the individual cost of the equipment next time. Forum Rules and all

Now, As for converting them into nurgle. Take some putty and sculpt on pus and boils on them. There are a number of tutorials on the web that can tell you how to do this (I mainly jab at them with a tooth-like Sculpting tool, then put in holes with a needle and smooth out the edges with a knife). Pus and Boils can be put on any part of the marine, even armor, as they are completely rotting and merging into their armor.

See if you can sculpt a distended Belly. It should look like a deflated balloon coming out of the marine's stomach/waist area. Other additions include damage carved into the armor and sand glued on strategic points as grime. That will nurgle-fy any model.

For a Nurglesque generic Greater Daemon, maybe consider Rat Ogres as a basis for conversions. Take a look at the Hellpit Abomination in the galleries for some inspiration.

Yeah got down the modelling, just wondering if you like the ideas, more i was stuck on my sorceror.

I was a mind to first: a) king of harard, and remodel top, nurgle bottom
b)slann mage preist remodel throne and paint nurgle
Then finally c) corpse cart, kinda going for that as a whole, my nurgle sorceror and his mass of plague trial bodies.

Aiming for kinda a proud yet cold and calculating nurgle army.

Plus i gotta scratch make flamers and meltagun. uh oh

I think for a critique on how to build / play the army you might be better focusing your questions in the tactica threads.

As far as painting & modelling are concerned a wash or two of Devlan Mud will never let Father Nurgle down.

(Army-wise build up the Plague Marine squads to 10 x marines each & give them a Rhino, 2 x special weapons per squad ansd also give each squad leader a Power Fist to take out vehicles or enemy leaders)

Tears in the robes?! Convert regular marines into plague marines for 10

Hmm alrighty then, now to find my fifty pounds.....
to the secret sock!1!!!
