I don't see the green... Then again that just may be my phone.

It is quite dark green!

So, the banners will say "Fluffy" in the runes of chaos?
you can find the runes in the WoC army book.. There are also alot of good symbols you might get inspired by.

WOW! Its just how I imagined it

looking great so far, keep it up!

I love the color scheme of the first panel, It's gonna be awesome!

Thanks everyone. Made quite good progress yesterday, everything is base coated and done quite a bit of the green. Hope to get more done over the next few evenings. And Slugga' - no the banners wont say 'Fluffy' on them! I decided on 'Crinitus Rex' (Latin for 'Fluffy the King'! - I think).

Update time! We have legs! I'm hoping to finish the painting this weekend - however I still can't finish building as I'm STILL waiting for magnets (good ol' Royal Mail) - and I've got a battle coming up next weekend against a mates Ork horde (4500 pts) and it's looking increasingly likely that Fluffy wont be ready in time Aaaaargh!

EXCELLENT Paintjob there sir. I usually don't have any particular affinity for Nurgle colors as they can easily be overdone an unbalanced. Yours however is spot on, really outstanding work. And play your mate with him, he'll just have painted legs and an unpainted top...like he's wearing knickers.

Looks incredible so far. I love those colors.

Good Lord man that's awesome! I know... kind of weak sauce, but it's what I've got...

I knew You would give us awesomeness with Fluffy, well.. You delivered much more till now!

Do I hear a tutorial coming on?

Great work!
Although, you might want to wash the big icon with the grin
Gryphonne Sepia should make it a bit more seperated than the rest of the model. Only a light coat would be enough.

I'm actually okay with the face being brighter. I'm just a tad miffed that this isn't as gory, and it really is more nurgly than khornate... I'll refrain from making a judgment on this till its finished though.

Thanks everybody. I'll try and get some more pictures on this weekend.

@ Captainsolstice - No plans for a tutorial - but if there's anything in particular you'd like to know, just ask.

I would love to see how you did the armor step by step, I think I plan on using it in chaos tanks.

There was great excitement today - a parcel arrived! But it wasn't magnets But it was a load of skulls!

Anyway, for the armour - all paints are Vallejo and you'll need an airbrush, it goes without saying let one coat dry before applying the next stage:

I primed Fluffy white but any colour will do.
Mix 'rust' and black airbrush paints approx 50/50 and spray the whole thing.
Then, lightly airbrush gun metal all over - do it unevenly to get slightly different tones of colour on the armour
Then VERY lightly spray with very thinned yellow ink, then very thin purple ink - again spraying unevenly to give different tones of colour.
Then spray with satin varnish.
Then spray with hairspray.
Then spray on your desired colour - Fluffy was done with a mix of interior green airbrush paint with a small amount (20%?) or regular dead flesh paint mixed in to lighten it up a bit.
Then get some warm water and an old paint brush and start scrubbin'! The harder you rub the more of the colour will be removed - this gives it the worn paint effect - but don't scrub too hard or you'll go right down to the plastic!
Then wash over light and dark rust weathering powders (I used the MIG ones) by mixing it with water and just brushing it on, paint it on thick if you want a heavily rusted look, add more powder depending on how rusty you want it to look.
Finally airbrush with some more varnish - I actually used matt varnish - Job done!

It sound alot of work but it's actually very easy to do.

Now for updates. The body is essentially done although not fixed because I don't have any magnets yet!

(I'd like to just big up the guys at 'Gfts for Geeks' - ordered a load of Daemon stuff from them last weekend, still waiting for one item that was out of stock but the rest arrived really quickly, good prices and very reasonable delivery price too - thanks chaps!)

Great execution on my idea
No, but really that looks amazing
Makes me want to get my DKOK one of the imperial versions.
You should do the sensors and visors with Blazing Orange (or equavilent).
It would give Fluffy some "shock" colours and would fit with the nurgle theme.
Also, check my gallery for the Nurgle Super-Heavy. You mght get some last minute ideas.

That's brilliant work monkeyh! Really, really love the way it looks. Man, you could build an entire army around that model!

B00m. Those are the colors I was waiting for to pop up. I'm sold on it.

Cherrs Slugga' - to be fair I got the idea from the Forgeworld book, I've tried it before on other models but it's worked best here - your gallery is awesome by the way.

I more or less have, when Fluffy is finished I'll do a group shot with my Death Guard army - not as big as my Khorne army but I'm working on it.

Sooooo cool keep up the excellent work!

Amazing job and great choice of color and execution!

Darn you airbrushers!!

They are a worth while investment - and very cheap on e-bay.

I use mine for tanks ...... if the weather is good I do it outside

Turbo laser time! I've gone for the 'gets hot' look. I wanted it to look like the body was translucent and you can see the laser power inside - besides - Slugga wanted some colour so I give you colour! Nearly finished the plasm blast gun too - going for blue OSL on that.

Like said before... "damn you airbrushers!!"
Seriously though, the red looks really clear and vibrant.
Good job.

Cheers slugga - here's the plasma blast gun. Also news on the magnets - as 15 working days has elapsed they are now officially 'lost' and some more are being sent today - so I could have Fluffy built (if not quite finished) for this weekends Apocalyptic battle! Also I've just seen the new Decimator Daemon Engine on the FW website - you can bet your pants I'll be having one of those in my Khorne army!
