Love the Helldrake's colour. The mix of the blended flame and metal ribs is very effective.

Good way to make someone jeliy :(

This Chaos army looks terrifying. My Unforgiven may be coming for you soon....

Thanks for all your comments, now I'm painting again! Been busy building stuff since the Heldrake - lots of Nurgle troops, raptors and bikers. Here are the first couple - more to follow.....

More troops to bolster the forces of Nurgle.....

Cool beans! Like those monkeyh... nice job. Pappa Nurgle would be pleased.

Cheers Gits'. Glad to see somebody is still watching after me not posting much lately! Battled again today - the Relic, hammer and anvil. 2500pts Khorne vs. Space Wolves. I'm pleased to say a narrow win for me! I have to say the veterans of the long war rule made a huge difference. The Heldrake with Baleflamer did quite well and as my force was mostly close combat biased with three units of berzerkers and terminators with LC's I did OK when I got into close combat. A few pics below. It was pretty nip and tuck, I thought I was a gonner after turn 2 but did well well in round 3. It was close and I didn't have many troops left at the end but a few lucky roles at the end saw me with the relic and a 4 - 2 victory. And with the new Daemon codex out I've got that to look forward to aswell.

Looks like a lot of fun monkeyh... and your chaos forces are looking just great! I usually shy away from really big battles as I find running that many troops makes me prone to making dumb mistakes. Terrific when a game that size comes off nicely though.

fear not, monkeyh. plenty of us still watching

Cheers guys. It was good fun, mainly because it was pretty tight. As far as the size of the army goes, the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned, then you don't need to worry too much when you loose a unit! It also allows you to be a bit more gung ho which is how I like to play it - I'm not one for skulking around!

A few more.....

And a few more....

would love to see the true colors on these guys. do you have access to software that will let you correct the white balance on your photos?

Here's what I could do fiddlin' around in photoshop...

Cheers for the edit Gits, colour looks about right. I'll try and get some better pictures of the next ones and use some better lighting.

Battled today - it Didn't go well. 2500pts Khorne and Nurgle vs Wolves and BA's playing the scouring. I think I lacked enough fire power and dice which roll anything above a 2! It was good fun but all over early on when I lost my beatstick (Daemon Prince with axe of blind fury) to sniper fire (of all things). End result 10 - 4. One thing that was quite good, in this mission we didn't flip the objectives over until the end of the battle so we had no idea exactly what we were fighting for! Here's a few picks.....

ouch, that's a lot of enemy armor. how big an impact did the stormraven have on the game?

The storm raven took out quite a few troops and a dreadnought (helbrute). It had quite a presence on the table, not sure on the points value but as I hadn't anticipated any fliers I hadn't taken any skyfire options, and my flying Daemon prince got wiped out early on so I couldn't vector strike it either. I think having flyers is going to be a necessity in the future - I used my heldrake in the last game to good effect (think I may get another). It adds a new dimension to the game (GW obviously want to sell lots of flyers) which I like - I just hope they don't start to dominate the game.

Your skills have improved rapidly over time, I love everything about your new models.
Still doing great!

Cheers Slugga' - nice to hear from you again - I'm in the process of building a Forgefiend at the moment, just not sure what colour to do it.

I think you should make it something magma-like. Dark browns and reds, with bright red and orange crackling/highlights.
But this is just my opinion

I'm back! How long for I can't say - been working away again and may be off again soon. Attached are a few more Nurgly nasties I've just finished off. I'm slowly getting through them.Not sure what's next - I may have another go at trying to get my maulerfiend painted, just having trouble finding the time with summer here (sort of) and all that.

And a few more.....

Wow these are amazing!

Nice Mon... Great look to them.

Wow, just read through the whole thing, loving those KB's!! They look great, love the GW/FW kitmash ;D Subscribed!!

Thanks Bacon', Gits' and Bro'. I've been a bit slack in posting lately. I'll try and keep it going again, got loads more Nurgle stuff to paint, I've also resurrected a long dormant Eldar army which I've made a few additions to and will be battling with in a couple of weeks. I will paint that Maulerfiend soon too.....

Finally some Nurgle awesomeness again!

Good to see your painting on these pages mate, long time...

Thanks Selvaggio'. I'm currently working on my last Nurgle terminator and Necrosius. Hopefully I'll have some more done this weekend

Yay! It has taken me over a year and a half to paint this unit of 10 Nurgle terminators! Here is the last one, and also here is Typhus with his 'honour guard' of terminators.
