I'll make one once I cleaned them all up.

Haven't had the time for a group shot yet, but for those who don't know him, here's a pic of the Pleague Gentleman



I finished building my Griffon last night but I only took a picture with my new phone. I wonder if I can upload it directly on Dakka.

That model cracks me up so badly. I can see him sliming along doffing his cap with the most horrid "Mary Poppins chimney sweep" fake accent saying " 'Eeeellllo Guv-nah! Broight an' lovely day it is, but not as lovely as you! 'Ere, 'ave a bitta Plague! There ya go, off with ya! Pip pip, cheerio, etc"

*apologies to all of my UK friends*

Never seen that model before, but he's a great sculpt. Can't wait to see what you'll do with him!

Not much besides painting. He's too awesome already

Here's the test model for my Nurgle cavalery. Any thoughts?

Very cool, expensive but very cool.

I have always liked the traitor guard torsos since I got a batch in my first FW order.

Very cool, but a tiny bit of GS on the horse to show some small festering wounds, a few boils, maybe a nasty rash of some sort.

Nice model. Will the Nurgle feel come with the paintjob, or will you be greenstuffing some sores, etc... on the bare areas?

Oh yes, boils, I really have to put some boils on that thing.

Though in my experience, the paintjob really does most of the job. Just look at my traitor guard infantry.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Currently I'm trying to sculp pants and boots on a LotR Troll, so I can field him as my third Ogryn. Until then, I have some other ideas I want to share with you.

First up is the fluff for my army. So far, there really isn't any. I started naming the units in my CSM force, but that never amounted to anything. I have a Demon Prince I once named Anthrax, but I need to work on that as well.

Then I had an idea: tinfoil once called my Pleague Reaper a "Factory of Destruction" and the more I think about it, I really like the sound of that. A few Chaos and Nurgle models have that "industrial" feeling as well, like the FW Demon with the barrel on his back or the boney smoketacks on Typhus and the GW Nurgle prince.
Whenever I get around to build that Pleague Tower based on the Manofactorum I have planned it certainly will look the part as well. And my new greater Demon I posted above could be some sort of shareholder.


Which brings me to my next model: I got this beauty for christmas.



I love that model. I adore it. I also hate it with all my heart because GW released it a few weeks after I finished my own Nurgle prince.
So far, I'm not sure what to with it. Because I just have to convert him somehow. I hate the head, that one has to go, but what about the rest? I already have a flying prince, two in fact, so this one will stay grounded. The sword is too awesome not to use. I'm considering giving him different smokestacks on the back, probably something from the Manofactorum sprue or maybe something orky.

How large is that model (say, compared to a Terminator)? I agree that the individual parts are greater than the combined whole. I hate that model, but some of the parts are completely epic. Looking forward to seeing what you do with.

Put him on tracks/defiler, give him a meched up head, and turn him into a machine of destruction. The, he can count as a vindi or a defiler, dedicated to Nurgle.

Just so you know, I'm talking about this model here. He's standing on a 40mm base, just like the other GW Demon Prince models. Definetly too small for a Tank.

This is a photoshoped concept of what I want to do with the Nurgle Demonprince to make him look more "industrial". The sword is too awesome not to use, but I'm not sure what I could do with the other arm.

Nice mockup on the DP! I would change his left arm to something more mechanical, perhaps a DCCW.

I did something similar on my old defiler, and I'm obviously biased, but I think it could look cool on a DP.

You could probably use the killa kan buzz saw arm thing for his left arm. I can't recall whether or not it's too orky.

I've only just join DAKKA, but I feel obliged to say that your mock up looks awesome, , a great improvement on the GW version, with not too much work, I don't think you need to do anything to the other arm. I'll be following this.

Stinky

Nice mockup! Is the body that much smaller then a defiler turret? Can't really guess as to whhether it would be too small. Mockup is looking great, maybe holding a badass gun in the other hand? or you could expand the fly-like chimney thingey on his wrist into a flame thrower?

Thanks for the kind words and the feedback.

The buzzsaw sounds good in theory, though I'm not sure if I want him to have only one regular hand. A regular DCCW would be too big I'm afraid. I might use the drill from the Inquisitor Techpriest from which I want to use the head.

@Khaine: Definetly a lot smaller than a Defiler turret. The flame thrower is a nice idea though, since a lof of my models have or will get some form of template weapon to share Nurgle's favourite new weapon, the bright green slime you see on my models.

Never realized the daemin prince was that small. For a second cc weapon, you could nurglify a daemonhammer from a dreadknight? If you close the hand, you can have an additional cc weapon and the flamer thingy on top.

Great stuff!!! I love all your conversions

If you like conversions and dudes in 3+ armor, check out my brother's Space Marine blog and leave a comment or two.

Another small update for the army.

Here's the first model for a heavy weapon squad. My brother got me the metal models for my Birthday last summer and I think they work quite well. Though I don't have all the models I need for the squad to look exactly the same, so I'm improvising a bit and will add a few GW parts here and there.



A "flamer" and another veteran with Beastmen legs and a shotgun.



Now for the fun part. As I have written before, I just love the look of the FW traitor stuff and try to work it into my army when I can. That's why I converted a 2nd edition Ogryn to look more like the FW Ogryns. But now I need a third one before I can field the unit. Good thing I once bought a few LotR Trolls from a friend for a very low price. Okay, they might not all be complete, I'm missing a few arms and heads here and there, but the bodies will do just fine.







I tried to be a bit more ambitious with the green stuff this time around and sculpted him some pants. Yes, I sculpted pants on a Lord of the Rings Troll. And boots.
Then I added a weapon, another Autocannon, since there are sadly now single Ogryn guns I could use. The pose could be better, but with the arms I had available, this seemed like the best choice.
Next thing to do is make him a head with those cool googles under a hood and extend said hood in rags over his back and shoulder to cover up the fur west he's wearing. After that I'll just have to add a few IG bitz and voila, Renegade Ogryn. Whaddaya think?

If he holds the gun like that, what about putting an axe blade on the top ?

Nice Ogryn, looking forward to seeing where it goes, and the mockup is really decent. I agre to keep the arm the same, but would cut / file some of the chains and other gubbins off the sword.

Since this is a modeling blog, I should probably post more W.I.P. pictures. So before I start playing the wonderful new German adventure game I just installed, I thought I'd give you something to look at first.

liking where this one is going, although imo i think the choppa on the auto cannon would look better as a bayonet rather then a scythe. still very cool

I finally got something done!

Here's the first tank for my Traitor Guard (well, except the Pleague Reaper that is), an old Griffon with a few bitz added.






And I finally finished my bodyguard. Though I have to say, I like him so much, I might use him as a commander instead.



I just noticed that I painted him wrong. The bit of cloth that's hanging over on his backside should be painted in a khaki, so it fits with my army colors.

GREAT! I love the intrails hanging over the scythe :-)

Those are part of the model.

I should probaby do something with the scythe though. Looks boring, compared to the rest.
