You have some seriously cool looking guys! Where did you get the nurgly stuff for the rhino or did you make it?

Thanks. I know which one you're talking about, but can't seem to remember where I've seen it. Any idea where I can find it Phil?

i have no crits at all.

Thanks. I have enjoyed your blog. In fact, you may notice a few backpacks share a similar look to some of your stuff. The best ideas are stolen ones
I see you updated your blog but the IT police at work won't let me see the nurgley goodness

Thanks. The nurglings, wolf heads, and tentacle are all GW bitz. the other stuff is "ProCreate" putty and bits of plastic tube and such.


After about a month I was finally able to base coat some models. During that time I assembled and converted another Rhino, Land Raider, Deamon Prince (as close to a gaint pus-wolf monster as I could get), and started another unit of plague marines. I will post pics as soon as possible.

On a side note I ordered a piece of foam from Battlefoam (the sabol sized 3 rhino, 6 termie) with "Sons of Pus" etched into it. I had to make a couple of small adjustments to fit the spikes on the front of each rhino. Other than that I am very pleased. It seems to be sturdier than the sabol foam and looks better.

take care

I had started another thread. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/255506.page.

However, MeanGreenStompa wanted all the pics in one place. So here they are.

Sorry, MGS, but closer pics will have to wait.




























As always any comments, thoughts, suggestions are appreciated.

take care

Hi All,

The pics are a bit darker than I like. The sun was not cooperative this morning


Finished the remaining Plague Marines. Pics of the first four plague marines are just a bit higher on the screen .

Their rhino is assembled and primed, however, I want to build the remainder of the army (1 squad berzerkers w/ rhino, and another Plague Marine Pack) before painting it.

I did notice one very Homer-esque move on my part. The icons on the banner should be horizontal not vertical. D'OH!! Luckily the next group will have vertical lines and it should be easy enough to switch the banners.

I am thinking of using mostly berzerker bits (particularly helmets) for the berzerker squad and painting them to match the rest of the army or paint them will different colored sections to represent piecing together armor (kinda like thirteenth company). The berzerkers represent the new "blood claws" brought into the fold. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.

take care

Hmmm, the update did not cause the thread to move to the first page.

Hopefully this will

The squad looks sweet! I wish I had any skills with putty/greenstuff at all. The sons of puss are looking good, keep it up!

love how the oblit iz based upon thphus

this army pwn's bro

Sorry fella , I cant see any detail on the minis even zoomed in , might I sugest the use of a lightbox or have a lamp with a sheet of paper ofset when you take the pics so they are lit ? also they are a bit "far" away , about 6 -8 cm focal lenght will yield far better pics,

you have done a pile of work and it looks good and will probably look fantastic with better pics !

Just a tip / take it or leave it as you see fit

keep postin !!

Thank you, Aziz.


The sun stayed out this morning so I tried a few of Tauzor's suggestions. I have a fairly basic camera (Kodak easy share M883) and it does not allow shutter speed changes

Any way these look a bit better.

Thanks and take care,

Loads better !!
Your pushing on fast with the work , great stuff keep it up

The daemons look particularly awsome.

Very nice conversions and paintjob. Keep up the good work.

All very nicely done...

But not nearly WOLFEE enough for a fallen wolves army

Hi all,

I've been assembling the last two units of the army. The models still have a fair amount of work left, but I wanted to be able to use the whole army at once.

Plague Marines are first and the Rhino starts the berzerkers.

Any thoughts, comments, etc are appreciated. I am having a mental block with the berzerker champion. His giant sword doesn't look right and I can't figure out a way to fix it without making it smaller ( I want the damn thing to look huge, but something just isn't right).

thanks and take care

Hi all,


In what is turning out to be of the slowest P&M Blogs in dakka history I present the latest installment of Sons of Pus.

The following are pics of a rhino for one of the plague marine packs. I've recently bought a new camera (Canon Power Shot SD1200) and these are the first pictures using it. I took about forty pics trying various angles, lighting, and modes. Some are better quality than others and some experimenting is required on my part.

The goal is to have the army ready for Mechanicon in early November.

Next in the assembly line is the Land Raider.

Thanks and take care

Nice conversions

Hi all,

WIP pics for the Land Raider. Started with Charadon Granite and highlighted up to white, than layers of Devlan Mud, Green wash, and finally purple wash. Next colors to go on are highlights of camo green and dead flesh over the gray.

Thanks and take care

They are very good, congratulations

Hi all,


Just added the camo green and dead flesh highlights to the land raider. Next are the "growths".

Thanks

I like the cartoonish look you achieved.land raider looks great so far ^_^

Hi all,

The "growths" are finished. Next up are pustules and wolf pelts. Hopefully it will be finished in a couple of weeks

take care

This army is crazy!

Hi all,

Work on the Land Raider is almost complete.

Take care

Looks really great , im really liking the landraider , how long does it take you to paint per marine ?

Thanks ~UnDeAd~

I don't paint particularly quick.

It takes about five to six hours per marine.
I've been working on the land raider for about fourteen hours.

take care

Hi all,


The Land Raider is DONE!!!

Next up ..... Demon Prince.

Take care

Looks good. Could use some gloss varnish though. To make it look more slimey.

SOMEONE needs a shower...

Hi all,

Started painting the Demon Prince. I am happy with the robes, however, the skin needs a bit more work. I was thinking of adding some splotches of color to give a feel of disease and sickness.

I am looking for peoples opinions on a couple of parts.

1. Growths on the robe. I was thinking of painting some purple and others green, or should it look like the growths on the vehicles and have a sickly aura about it?

2. Scythe. either paint it black with jade-ish highlights, or paint it a very dirty, diseased, somewhat corroded metal? I am leaning towards the metal to keep a consistent decayed appearance but the idea of the weapon being dark and omnious keeps gnawing in the back of my mind.

If there are any other comments, suggestions, etc. please feel free to post.

Thanks

Nice idea, but he still looks a bit too much like the Nightbringer imo.
