Probably... *grumble*

Yay! Gits' is starting a new army - you heard it here first! Seriously though, most of my Eldar are from back in the day, I do like the new models though (except that wraight knight that looks like a Manga mecha). I almost e-bayed the lot but decided to give them a go and now am glad I did. I just added some wraith guard and a few grav. tanks. With a bit of savvy play I think they could turn out into a decent army. I am gonna have to paint some - maybe a new thread starts here too!

yea i dont think your eldar would liek sharing space with your chaos marines very much. i do look forward to seeing your eldar done up

Ah yes... "breaking news"... i.e. more drek to paint.

A couple of old rhinos done up for Nurgle. These were already painted grey and camo for an old space marine army I never use. So sprayed them over green, washed liberally with rust weathering powders then drybrushed over with a black/gun metal mix before varnishing and doing the details.

Where on earth did the tracks on the first one come from??

The extra bits on the second tank are fantastic. What is that thing on top of the front spines?

Old style for the Decay Lord.
Me Approve!

Cheers Gits' and Selvaggio. The tracks on the first one are from a 1/32nd scale WWII M3 Stuart, and the front bit on the second one is part of the bogie from a 1/32nd scale WWII Centurion tank - just to make it look a bit different. My only regret on the first one is that I didn't make it so the tracks went round. Next Nurgle Raptor below:

Tremendous looking marine monkeyh. Really nurgly & creaky looking.

That raptor is possibly the coolest nurgle model IMHO that I have ever seen!

@ Gits' - Cheers Mate!

@ Bacon' - Thanks - high praise indeed! Using raptor or possessed legs makes CSM's much more dynamic - I used them a lot on my berzerkers

It's even better than the first one.
How is that possible?

possessed suck anyway, so i don't see what else to use them as other than sexy berzerkers.

Loving the nurgle raptors!!!!

@ Selvaggio - I think these are the best two of the 10 - hopefully finish a few more this weekend
@poda_t - do you mean they suck in battle or the models suck (or both)? I've never used any so wouldn't know what they're like, as for the models, they are OK but I don't know, they just don't do it for me which is basically why I don't have any!
@ pj - cheers! more to come soon.

the stat lines were pretty shoddy. It was only a very small chance that they'd be any good, and even then, you'd probably still need to have them "fixed" by having fabius bile take a go at them. There's something to be said for strength 6 marines, but..... mneh, they were expensive for what they did. So I just used the models for khorne berzerkers, becuase they were more dynamic than the zerkers.

But Fabius can only tamper with plain ol' chaos space marine units. Otherwise I fancy some S5 Khorne terminators all armed with lightning claws and VOTLW so they can reroll (all of there 5 first attacks) first missed hits then reroll failed wound rolls (cause lightning claws can) when I battle my mates Wolves and Blood Angels. That way I'd just chop everybody up! Agree pooo-ssessed may not be worth the points though.

Couple more Nurgle Raptors.....

And a couple more....

Outstanding my friend. Just love the look of those!

Cheers Gits' - hopefully finish the others soon.

Missed the last two

I like a lot thw menacing position of those

Thanks Selaggio'. My new (Iwata) air-brush arrived today (had to throw my cheap Chinese ones in the bin - note to self - don't waste money on cheap tools) so hopefully I'll get back on with the Mauler-fiend soon....

First off you are a legend.
Secondly, add lightning claws, the more the better, even if the character is not allowed them, fit one and call it a powerfist.

I do this myself: using weapons for cool-factor only, not for any other reason. The problem is, if you are using it for cool factor, you literally can't field it in your army, because it can get confusing about who's got the lightning claw, and who else just has a fancy power fist. Generally speaking though, i also go by "can they legally take this? if the answer is no, default to nearest basic weapon"--lasgun on marine->bolter; chainfist on line marine or scout->CCW. Besides. Cool factor is now useless. My mate has models that look brutal with their mauls, but with the current rules, those models are now absolutely useless because mauls are weak weapons. (Another wonderful tactic employed by GW to force people to buy their entire armies all over again if they intend to continue playing....)

@ tomcat' - Thanks for bestowing me with legendary status! I must admit I try and avoid arming troops with weapons they can't/don't have. A couple of my Nurgle termies have LC's (see page 20). Also I have 5 Khorne termies with LC's and another 5 more to do. When I've built my Spartan and loaded all 10 LC armed termies into it should mean that when they assault - as they'll all have the MoK - that I'll get 50 attacks in the first round! And if it's against marines they'll get to re-roll all misses in the first round with the VotLW rule, and then they can re-roll and failed wounds, and if it's against regular troops they'll get no saves On top of all that I've got a Khorne chaos lord with LC's - even more attacks!

Last four finally done. Included a shot of the whole unit.

Wow! Really amazing work! They are so...nurgly....

Wonderful looking bunch monkeyh... just a great unit!

Awesome squad, I love your take on Nurgle colors, unique and inspiring.
