Looks pretty solid imo, Anung. But, I really like the crew you have manning that tank. They look gruesome.

Finally finished the first medic:

Body is from PP, the arms are from the DE Talos and the head comes from the Wargames Factory Shock Troopers sprue.


I tried to make the back of the head look like grey brain, but it didn't work out that well.

I think the Brain looks great!

I second that, the brain may not look overly brain-esk but it looks very disturbing, which is hopefully the intention. =p just want to say you have some really nice stuff here, keep it up.

Excellent and disturbing as always. I like the bodyguard a lot.

There are some very cool conversions going on here! You seem to like nurgle

Work in progress:

Another WIP shot:

Everytime I look at this guy, I think of the dancing Xenomorph from Space Balls

Looks great!

I would put a little more work into the Cane and the hat and it's done

Well, he's not done yet, of course
There's still another kind of nasty wound I haven't figured out how to paint yet.

Fun fact: Large eyes are harder to paint than small ones.

I forgot how utterly boring painting Power Armor can be.

I did it again. Has is seriously been two months since I last updated this blog? Gork, damnit. Well, at least I can give you a handful of shots from the gaming table. 1st May is a national holiday in Germany and my gaming group used it for an Apocalypse battle. 2 Chaos players vs. 2 Empire and 1 Eldar player, with 7000 points on each side. A lot of my Death Guard however was still WIP from the rebuilding I did a few months back, so I had so paint more Marines and doe it fast. I finished a few, but now I don't want to see another Power Armor for at least 2 months.
Still, I thought when I can't give you anything new, I might at least give you some nice pictures of models you already know.

I probably won't be updating this blog for some time, but you all subscribed to it anyway, so you'll know when that changes, right?

I just found this blog, and you have some really fun conversions. Looking forward to what else you can do to share Papa Nurgle's love.

In January 2011 I posted a photoshop mock-up of a creature I had in my head for quite some time. You might remember it from way back:

I was playing around with Photoshop some more. I like the concept sp far, but I'm not sure what to do about the head.

Well, the local store recently had a special discount offer on large boxes (he called it tanks-giving ) and I finally caved in and got the project rolling: I bought a Hellpit Abomination and a Forgefiend and ripped the top of my old Defiler which I never used anyway. Here's what I have so far:








The official pictures really don't do the regular abomination justice. It's much more worm-like than I thought, twisting and turning it's wretched corpse of a body. Originally I had planned to just put the body on the Defiler body and call it a day, but when I glued the bodyparts together, I noticed how I could brake up the classic chassis of the Defiler: by attaching the front claws to the Abomination body instead of the machine part.






I'm not sure what other parts of the Fiend I'm going to use. I was originally planning to use the Maulerfiend parts, because a Forgefiend with huge plasma cannons would fit nicely into the look of my CSM army, but I also really like the plasma cannon head, because it looks more machine-ish than the other one.
Not sure what rules I should use. Forge World has nice rules forsomething called a Plague Hulk, but I'm not sure how the rules compare to the updated Soul Grinder.

That thing looks awesome!

I'm surprised at how well that fiend head looks up there. Any plan to continue those metal plates down the back of his neck?

That would probably look pretty cool, but I'll have to watch out, that can still build a Forgefiend with what's left when I'm done with this thing.

I'm still working on the Soul Grinder, but I could use some feedback. The head and arms from the Maulerfiend look great and I'm probably gonna use the back plate from the Fiend as well to armor the upper body a bit more. There's just one thing missing. Guns. No matter if I use him as Defiler, Soul Grinder or Plague Hulk, he needs some kind of cannon or gun. He can't vomit it all.

...

I just had another idea. Why not drop the entire Soul Grinder idea and just use him as Mauler Fiend. They're pretty large anyway.

I glued the other claw on, decided I didn't like it, ripped it off and put it on again.

That beast looks awesome, Anung! I don't know what mini that is in the foreground, but he's going to get it!

I give up. Everything I build GuitaRasmus already did and much more awesome. Seriously, check out his stuff. It's amazing.

Guita is a madman and his modelling skills are exceptional, but you should be inspired by them, not discouraged. Keep on trucking, Anung!

Well, I am kinda inspired. But I'm also getting a Wii U soon, so...

Yes, it really is awesome stuff. But have you gone back through your own thread? Do you have any idea how many people you have inspired yourself? I'm one of them for sure. You are part of the collective that I have a lot of respect for. Don't sell yourself short, your work is amazing.

Thanks guys. I really want to get back into it, but that'll have to wait till next year I'm afraid.

A small teaser of things to come. If you recognize the parts, you'll probaly know where I'm going with this.

Aw, no guesses on what I'm working on? Well, in that case all you get are more pictures without explanation.







I'm really looking forward to continue this project. Unfortunatly I'm out of town for the next week. I hopw I can give you a real update before the year is over.

Are you making a Vogon?

Is it a counts as Epidemius?

Not sure what to use as other hand. I think a 2nd powerfist would look good, but my brother mentioned that he wouldn't have a way to attack anyone.

It's a Chaos Lord on Palanquin of Nurgle btw.

Regarding my Fiend-grinder-filer-abomination, I just noticed something. The combined body is great, but the head and arms don't look particular nurgly. I'm tempted to rip them off and replace them with something that looks more frail and weak.
