Here is a model I converted for my Chaos Space Marine army. The idea behind the army is they are the scouts for the Terminus Est, and spread the seeds of plague before the main fleet enters the system. Their bodies are host to this plague and are eroding at a much faster rate, Pthe armor on the Plague Marines has turned to bone. They also consume their enemies in order to give Papa Nurlge some good bits to experiment with as well as to maintain their physical forms. In the case of the Maulerfiend, it's a modified form of the Obliterator Virus. The Maulerfiend and other Daemon Engines in the Plaguewind detachment consume not only flesh to improve their form, but the mechanical bits as well. They are mainly fast attack, and are different from other Death Guard.

That is absolutely mental. But epic. That green cage of fire is brilliant!

**ragingmunkyz**

Now THAT is a conversion. Loving the silly little nurgling on the shoulder, and that swinging green fire ball is awesome, how did you make that? or is it from a model I'm not aware of?

**Dez**

Thanks guys, I had a lot of fun making it. The censer is from the Skaven Screaming Bell kit, which also makes a Plague Catapult. As I had made the Bell, I had this little gem tucked into my bitz box waiting for the perfect occasion

BTW I'm from MA as well.

**kenderus**

How the f**k did you figure it out to use Fantasy giant for this ???

Thats just epic !!!!!!

**Dez**

Haha most of my army will involve Fantasy and Forge World models

I'll start a proper blog soon, i just need to upload pictures (lots) to the Dakka Gallery.

**Nafarious**

That is just spectacular.

**Squidbot**

I put off building this until I got those lil buggers!

**Dinamarth**

Awesome, please share the rest of the army.

**battlematt**

I LOVE YOU.

**BlueBlitz**

My nightmares may have just become more vivid.

**Jimsolo**

I'd love to see more from this army. I like that your conversion is something different and unique, and I especially like that you went with something more for your Nurgle aligned models than 'bloated and gangrenous.' The extra mile makes all the difference in the world!

**Ghostcat**

Gorgeous. Simply amazing.

**HumanSupreme**

I always get such a kick out of the goofy ass nurgling models. Great Maulerfiend, though.

**Spyral**

Awesome - option B use it as a plague hulk?

**Novelist47**

Sweet mother mary jesus, ITS BEAUTIFUL.
I love it when gits successfully 40k a whf model.
KEEP IT UP MATE.

**Pox Apostle**

That is absolutely amazing! Stunning work! I can't wait to see moar! Papa Nurgle would be proud.

**Dez**

Thanks all

I'm working on some more stuff now, and I don't have anything 100% complete and ready for this section of the forums. I do keep threatening to start a blog here, once I do I'll put in a link here for those interested.

**Tim 121RVC**

Dude, get out of my head! I have something similar in my WIP box using the Skaven Screaming Bell "ball" the same way as you did.

Love your version though!

**Jingles**

That's absolutely awesome.

**Dez**

Here's some more of my stuff. It's tabletop so far, I'm hoping to have a fully painted 1500 army done for Pax East on March 23rd.

Group Shot

Bike Squad

2 units of Death Guard

Sorcerer on left, Lord on right

**BlackSanguinor**

**FeindusMaximus**

**Novelist47**

dude love ur nurgle knight bikers, look very suave
the painting on ur plaguers also look pretty damn sweet
friendly advice, read my signature, id like to see the painting a bit more

**Dez**

Thanks all, I built and painted all the bases (except the Maulergiant) yesterday.

Nevelist47: Great feedback, thank you. The pics were taken very quickly last night when I finished at about 230 AM, so I didn't really put as much effort as I may normally. I used to take pictures in my lightbox, but recently changed my mind about that. I found that the pictures I liked best were the ones with some background, some terrain. I esepecially like using that bit of CoD terrain as it's interesting yet subtly painted so it doesn't detract from the models. I use the same philosophy when I am making bases as well, I like to make them interesting but I'll purposefully underpaint them to make sure the attention is on the model. You may also notice I use a bit of this method on the models themselves, I really want the glowing eyes and purple parts to pop leaving the rest fo the model a brown, disgusting mess.

That said, I did rush the photos above. I'll take some more, and I'd like to upload them to the Dakka gallery.
