I've finally gotten my self together and started a P&M blog! Huzzah! So I recently saw a bunch of nurgle minis at my flgs, and I finally decided on my first 40k army. Now I'm planning on converting most of the plaguebearers and death guard. Please excuse the bad quality of the pictures.... I had to use my webcam.

Fluff: I haven't really written any fluff for this army, so keep a look out for that!

Plaguebearer:

As you can see (or probably not see.... sorry about the picture qaulity...

) he is converted from a bloodletter. My favorite thing about him is probably the erupted stomach or the spine (inspired by great unclean one).

Plaguebearer with icon of nurgle (WIP):

My good friend Kim (Thanks for the idea, if you're reading this!) gave me the idea to cover the back of a plaguebearer with loads of boils and warts, and this is the outcome! And yes, I used a death korps head on the flag (Had one from a miscast...)! Again, sorry about the pictures, and I shall try to find a good camera for next time...

So yeah, that's all I've got so far! C&C welcome! Oh yeah as some of now I shall be writing this blog in green text...
Edit: Forgot to add that the idea of having both renegades, deamons and chaos marines armies was taken and inspired by Anung un Rama! Hope its ok with you!

Wow. Nice GS work. Those minis deserve some better quality photos though

**tehbarry**

Thanks it's my first time working with gs! Most of the detail is blotted out by the pictures quality.... I'll be asking my friend to let me borrow his camera.

**LoneLictor**

I agree with Nobaconz4You. From what I can see the Greenstuff is great and the models look nice, but due to blurry photos I can't see much.

Plaguebearer (WIP):

Plaguebearer with icon of nurgle (WIP):

Hopefully these pictures are of a good enough quality. Also, is it just me or is the date shown on the pictures wrong? O.o Anyways, C&C welcome!

**tehbarry**

Got a little bit more work done on the plaguebearer with icon of nurgle.... He's primed now!

Primed (A bit blurry due to falsh... Sorry

):

My good friend Kim let me convert his renegade ogryn in anyway I can.... First things first - He needs arms! He had lost the arms down at my flgs, and so decided to let me get my way with it. The roll of greenstuff there is just a base, as I'm going to be sculpting some muscle and then I will scolpt some ragged and torn cloth.... I might add some postules and boils, but I'm not sure. What do you think?

C&C welcome! So what do you think of it so far?

I'm still working on the fluff, since thats something new for me to do.

**Llamahead**

From what I can see great looking sculpting work. Really looking forward to seeing the plague guard myself.

**tehbarry**

Thanks! I'm still broke, so after this unit there wont be much in the way of new models until next month. Sorry.

Anybody? No advice, nothing I can improve on.....?

**tehbarry**

Not really an update, but more of an idea. In about a week and a half I'll be back from my holiday and busy modelling some death guard, and yesterday I got the idea of making them actual scale! So yeah, what do you think of the idea? I've been thinking of using either doghouse's tutorial or lamenters, but I'm not sure which to use.... What do yo think? Also, for the terminators I've been considering if using this (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showtopic=127035) tutorial, but I'm not sure if they will be to scale with the plague marines... Also, here are the links to doghouse's (http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/178039/1/) and lamenter's (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showtopic=192140) tutorials. Thanks in advance!

**FantasyBob**

mmmh, looks good!

anyway, please, next time add a bigger shoot of the mini and not the background

**tehbarry**

I've tried taking closer pictures of my minis, but it just becomes all blurry.... I'm not really sure what to do about it!

EDIT: Completely forgot in my annoyance of my camera to say thanks, so....... Thanks!

Another thing I'm really tempted to build for this army although I've got no need/space for it is a 40k scale BFG ship...... Along the lines of this ship: http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/7292782/1/ I'm sure I would never get it done, but it is just so tempting when I see his ship....

**NoBaconz4You**

Don't forget to use macro mode for taking close ups

**tehbarry**

Macro mode.... Whats that? Sorry for sounding a bit stupid, but I don't use my dad's camera all too much! Also.... I got on dakka's front page!!! xD

**QuazzaP**

Very snazzy conversions, certainly inspiring stuff!

I'll have to join the bandwagon of people requesting better camera quality though, the miniatures look so good from what I can make out, which just makes me want to see them even clearer!
