Hi everybody, so this is my first proper post, YAY. I'm doing this to keep me going with this project and i would really appreciate all feedback, especially criticisms I'm trying to improve my painting skills so any tips would be helpful .

So yeah this is my renegade guardsmen army, the basic fluff is a tech priest has turned to chaos (nurgle especially) in an attempt to preserve his precious machines. having being corrupted by chaos he has used his position of power on the forge world, Ryankor to taint the population. so now he travels the universe with his army of followers to find more ancient lore to protect his machines.

At the moment i have a command squad, one squad half painted and a sentinel, I also have a forge world command squad and normal squad on the way from eBay

So here is what i have painted so far, in the future i intend to post some pics of models before i paint them because I'm also practicing my green stuff work and would love some tips and such. i have gone for a dirty white and dirty metal colour scheme.

Well i hope you enjoy Any questions just ask and again I would really appreciate any feedback thanks (also apologies if the pics aren't i couldn't get the lighting right )

A short update only another 2 pics that didn't make it onto the first post for some reason

Cool looking army I really like the whole mechanicus feel to it!

Thanks that's the look I'm going for, might have to get me some more servitor bits in the process of making some mechanicus nurglings to scatter about

These are excellent. A real dynamic look you've achieved for your Sentinel too.

Thanks a lot sir I want a whole squad of sentinels eventually all with similar lurching poses

Another quick update

another basic trooper painted up and i have made some little mechanicus nurglings to scatter about the army

Also i've got a chimrea and forge world stuff coming this week so hopefully I'll get some pics up

Right, well there has been a distinct lack of updates as my laptop decided it would be fun to completely die, so I've spent the last few days Computerless or re installing everything i own.. yay -.-

well anyway I have got some new friends to show you , no new painted but lots of awesome forgeworld stuff, and a few conversions I'm pleased with enjoyyyyy

I've also took a pic of the whole gang

Nice!

Thanks

Hi another quick update, finished of my first squad. Pleased with how they've turned out so now i can start on FW stuff and my tank

As always comments are really appreciated thanks

Hi, so I was inspired by all the awesome versions on here and in this months white dwarf to get a plastic nurgle lord and have a stab at it so here is my version. I'm using him as a servitor in my command squad.

Enjoy

Looks cool, but you can't take servitors in IG squads.

Cheers yeah sorry should of made it a bit clearer, I'm playing them as regular guardsmen, the servitor look is just for my armies fluff (see first post) basically renegade tech priest

Mhmmm! Nice! I love to see a chaos army, you should check out mine at: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/444902.page

Thanks my fellow heretic Got some great looking stuff might have to steal some ideas :p

Right got the nurgle lord painted Enjoy ! comments appreciated

Another update

So i had planned to save the chimera as a little reward after painting all my infantry...but it turns out i have no self control when it comes to warhammer so enjoy

I also painted a test model for the forge world infantry, still not entirely sure about the mask, so any thoughts would be appreciated thanks

Hey Dakka

So i got myself another servitor to finish of my command squad, used the awesome banner from the fw nurgle dreadnought (i got one last year for a csm army i was making but lost interest in )

So enjoy, and don't be shy comment

Loving the army so far. I think your Nurgle lord to servitor conversion is pretty nice, didn't you find it hard to convert such a lovely miniature? The command banner is nice aswell, where'd it come from?

I'll be watching this blog with interest, it's got the makings of a really awesome force!

Thanks man yeah i was a bit reluctant to chop up the lord it is an awesome sculpt that's why its not thaaaaat converted ha yeah the banner is awesome its a forge world piece from the nurgle dreadnought http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Chaos/CHAOS_DREADNOUGHTS_AND_WALKERS/NURGLE-DREADNOUGHT.html . got it for another army that i started a year ago so thought I'd cut it off and give it a new home Thanks, I'm gonna try and keep up with regular updates

Afternoon dakka ( or whatever applies to you when you read this )

Another quick update painted up another two renegades, went for a splinter cell ish look on the crouching guy and gave the other my basic look, I'm pretty happy with the colour scheme but any thoughts are appreciated

Enjoy

Well time for another update painted up another 2 basic troopers, and then my enforcer because i mean who doesn't want a guy that makes commissars look like guidance councilors ha

real nice work. I like the colors you decided to go with. Ive never really been a fan of IG, but the possiblity of a renegade force has always intrigued me and I like to see how creative hobbyists can become. I agree with other posters, I get an overall mechanized feel from this army. I like it. I really like your sentinel, the bases are also done well and compliment the look of the sqds.....looking foward to seeing more progress!

Cheers yeah the idea of renegade IG and all the conversion possibilities just makes me happy :p Ha my brain is full of ideas i just need the models ... well the money for models ha

Another update sooo I got the FW militia squad finished I'm pleased with how they've turned out. so enjoy C&C appreciated

These are looking really great, particularly like the enforcer.

Thanks Dan I'm liking your IG

Well before uni fees get a chance to bankrupt me, it seems I'll do it myself :p just bought some heavy weapons team, fancy bases and a manticore/ deathstrike launcher on eBay , I'm also trying to get my hands on another sentinel I've also finally got myself an army case with foam so no more biscuit tins for me but yeah look forward to those things coming soon .. to a P&M Blog near you .. (sorry i had to ) anyway I'm gonna go cry over how much i spent, even though i did save a lot ha see you later dakka

Cheers fella.

What you studying at uni? I graduated last year, and the thought of having to pay that loan back for the next 30-40 odd years still annoys me

- Dan

Ha I know, I'm doing film and television production York really looking forward to it, well not the debt :p ha. What did you study ?
