I like where you're going with the wings on Celestine .

Cawl is as always, cool! He's a big lad!

Gah! you sound like my mate 'Spotify Dan' I love buying CD's they're pretty cheap now and I have a player in my Nerd room

Thanks Archer I do enjoy painting reds, I'm trying to go a little out of my usual recipe comfort zone with some new reds on models i'm painting currently. Not so much a pain to assemble although he is a fiddly model only two mechamdrites gave me grief, he is harder to hold while you paint him and I even had him in sub assemblies!

Cheers Angel, should have more to show soon!

Celestine the Living Saint! and she's finished and beautiful! I tried to grim darken her without going too grim or too dark.... a very delicate model but a very striking one, good height not too much ostentatious bling around her and I think really stays true to the original model I did my normal golds on her but focused the silvers at the reflection points since she's turning her face to the skies to bring down holy retribution.

I hope you guys like her, not much else to say about her really but the whole triumverate looks like one nasty bunch of s.o.b's

Stunning work. Really top tier.

Beautiful. May have to shamelessly steal the lightening effect on Celestine'so wings...

EDC

Steal away! I just wanted to try something a bit different than you normally see with her, plus I wanted to convey a sort of electric power to her presence and the wings were a good choice for doing that, funnily enough the base colour is actually just armour wash from SWM and then I added purple to darken it near the body and added the bolts obviously. I think she came up a treat!

She's beautiful Damo.

That is just excellent, what an impressive group!

I dig the armor, gives it more light than normal. Not a fan of the lighting on the wings though. It is kind of the opposite effect of the armor, where it makes it heavier.

All three are great, I like the lightning on the wings it pushes your focus towards Celestine.

Fantastic work on Celestine and the twins. I don't know how you manage to do it so quickly!

Thanks guys, painting her did kinda make me want to paint a SoB force but the Russian site that does the models I like i couldn't read nor understand so it put cold water on that idea

but I do have a rough update on wave 2 of Nurgle! I just had to do a bit of very basic greenstuff work to fill in some holes on models, I left the GS fairly rough since it will be the painting that makes it all come together

I am quite excited actually to paint the Rhino with the 'Maw-Doors' I used left over mouths from the Maggoth lord to make the fleshy toothy entrances.




another Mauler fiend made from the left over parts from the maggoth Lord and the original fiend body, has kind of a nut sack neck....





and another rhino....


Should have these primed and started this weekend and done next week

But how do the Marines get in? One does not simply walk into maw-door!


Nice builds!

^ You my friend just got Exalted! LOL

Great job on Celestine and co, Nerdy. Look lovely.

I'm getting Urotsukidōji flashbacks with what's coming out of one of those Maw-doors. Baal-Sac would be proud.

Triumverate looks really really good. And that Rhino, so Nurgley.

Lets keep the nurgly vibe gong today! I finally finished the demon prince i started a while ago! What can I say about him? well, I wanted him gross-check, I wanted him creepy-check, I wanted him to have wet and dry skin-check and I wanted him to look frickin' cool! check! he is one of those models I could have just kept going and gong on,but since Cam needs him soon I held back a bit and got him done, most of him was done before but now he can lead his force in style!










Aaaaaand discuss......

OK that is disgusting, surreal and I love it. So much to look at and I keep finding little things like the pus filled craters in his skin, slimy tongue, etc... can we eventually see the army as a whole?

That's a truly disgusting model... Nicely done

Loving the conversions on the Nurgle stuff.

EDC

Lucky Cam out there somewhere, that is a seriously disgusting model. The hue of the skin does wonders as well. Fantastic work as usual.

Thank you gentlemen he is truly very yucky! I had a game against the Nurgle yesterday that we had to call short but I stayed true to form and lost as normal! Typhus and a Terminator bodyguard are really nasty even against Thrakka and MANZ! although I was chewing through them when we called it. I got some pics but haven't uploaded yet i'll try and do that tonight, it's just some random conflict shots. I have realised that when playing it really comes down to who gets to charge first, he was just in better positions and I suffered because of it but I'm looking forward to a re match!

So I was thinking that all my mini's and terrain now are really gritty and dark, which is cool, but I need to have some brighter colour to play with, should I re paint the buildings brighter in a red or something? or re do my ruined streets gaming table? or even just add lighter dust colours over it ?

Here's just a couple pics from the game, nothing too exciting but was a fun game!


My one and only squad of Boyz pile out of the Truk to get to grips with.....

These guys.....who duly beat the gak outta them.

the Nurgle terminatos and Typhus just casually walk over to beat the snot out of.....well, pretty much everything.

Damn Maulerfiend raced over a building to get to my Deff Dred charged him and crushed him like a paper cup.

After a bit of carnage the Wagon finally got around to unloading his mob of MANZ close enough.....

....for Typhus to beat the pus outta Ghaz how embarrassing.

while around the corner the Chaos chap on a bike roared into a 6 Bike Ork mob with the help of Spawn....

leading to this result....

Who promptly rode off the board getting away

Orks are really bad right now Damo. That will change with 8th from what I've heard. Really great pics though!

Good to see the green skins iin action regardless. Beautiful armies.

It was their first blooding, and probably could have been a better game if we had more time and didn't have our respective partners popping into the garage to ridicule our little men and make pew pew noises while we tried to play!

I also started working on the Reaver again in earnest and should be done in 2-3......years :-)

Wicked pics from the battle. Seeing two beautifully painted armies is always hugely inspirational.

Thanks Dr, I know exactly what you mean! I (as you should know by now) love the really cinematic story driven approach to everything I do and creating a battle in and among ruins that fit the warzone and armies is deeply rewarding, I feel I need to do more terrain now, something different, something multi level perhaps? or more theme driven scatter terrain? I found some cheaper Hexalog? terrain that could be done very cool so I might give them a shot, price wise they're cheap for what you get

Started back onto Gits Reaver today too, as well as a couple of bare heads, one for my Asterion Moloc model and I also started building my rhinos with FW doors! good times!

I also began making the first of my 3 boards for Armies on Parade! this one will be the Ork one. pics later in the week.

Knights of Dice down under make fantastic terrain, maybe worth a look? More generally, as ever, stunning stuff.

I don't think the Nerd-wench has room to ridicule based on the weird stuff I've shipped over for her.

Batrep is looking good! With the orks, it helps to have a few small distraction units to open up your options; buggies and koptas come to mind
