Thanks everybody! A few more troops and then I'm onto my bike unit.

Lookin as funky as always monkeyh

Ta very much!

Ok so I've just gone through all 23 pages hah WOW!...

I see in your whole army shot and some batrep shots a Nurgle Soulgrinder. Do you have any WIP pictures of this? I am very interested in that conversion - it looks amazing.

And btw - this entire thread is just jaw dropping / inspiring. Keep it up!

Cheers Gunzhard glad you enjoyed the read! but that's not a Nurgle soul grinder, that's a Forge World Plague Hulk. Basically when you buy it you get the FW bits and a complete defiler to build it from. And sorry no, I've only got pics of it complete.

Hi All. A few pic's of yesterday's battle. Pleased to say victory was narrowly mine (for a change). We played the Emperor's Will, 2500pts Nurgle vs Orks. We both ended up holding onto our own objectives, my opponent got first blood but I ended up with line breaker and slay the warlord (his Warboss got caught by a sweeping advance! - I lolled). My Nurgle force had to borrow a land raider off their Khorne colleagues but otherwise it's was nearly all painted (except for my plague zombies) - I think it's time for Nurgle land raiders.....

Congrats Monkeyh! Looks like your friend has some painting to do.

Cheers Gits (happy birthday by the way). And yes he's built loads but sadly painted very little - one day! Anyway - here's a few more troops I've finished off. Now onto bikes and maybe finally the Mauler Fiend I keep mentioning.....

I continue to be amazed by your prolificosity monkeyh.... high quality and high volume are a rare combination.

Cheers mate - I must admit I've never really considered myself prolific when it comes to painting. I am now (finally) working on my Mauler Fiend - got another battle coming up in a few weeks and may give it a go if I can get it done in time.....

Hey! Your berzerkers looks amazing! I was curious what you used to make the arm pit valves so the arms could extend out.

Cheers Deiyos. Yes I've been asked this a few times. These are Nylon screws (you may know them as machine screws, they're the sort you put a nut on, not the sort you screw into wood) you should be able to get them at any good DIY/hardware store, I find M5 (5mm diameter) works best. Just cut a section off at the angle you want and glue it in place - much quicker then using green stuff!

Man, where was this info about a month ago? I will certainly take advantage of this tip!

Bravo as usual Monkeyh.

Cheers Badger' - I'm sure that info is somewhere else in the depths of this thread! Anyway - hope you find it useful. Nearly finished the Mauler fiend - just got to do the base - pic's soon!

Mauler Fiend done! Pictured with lasher tendrils and magma cutters (magnetised for easy swap). Nurgle bikers next!

Dude. your stuff rocks, wish i was as fast and/or skilled as you.

Great job! Is that some OSL sneaking out from the gaps in the breast plate?

@ tomcat31 - Thanks, but trust me I've been working on this for ages! It took several attempts to get the red how to a point where I was happy with it. As I said to Gits' the other day I've never considered myself fast at painting - just burning the candle at both ends between work, spending time with Mrs Monkeyh, drinking , riding my bikes, etc. etc.

@ Gits' - Cheers and yes well spotted on the OSL - tried to keep it fairly subtle though.

First couple of bikers....

Excellent looking bikes. Very nurgle, yet not OTT.

Is that a warp talon wings I see on the fairing?
I've used them on my red corsair bikers.
If not, what did you use, I'm always on the lookout for ideas to steal.

It is a old plastic shield from the chaos warriors box from a edition or two ago of Warhammer fantasy.

Cheers Silver MK2.

JunkyOrk is spot on - it's an old chaos shield cut in half. These are actually bikes from the dark vengeance box set - but feel free to steal ideas!

Hopefully I'll have a couple more done later in the week.

I haven't been able to find out anywhere else, so I thought I'd ask here; what material did you use to make the razor blades on the chain scythe? I'd like to make a chain fist and that stuff looks great!

Cheers Deiyos - the chain scythe is just make from three thin pieces of plastic - the sort of stuff a margarine tub is made from. Clean/degrease first if you use something like this, then just sketch out the teeth with a sharp pencil and carefully cut it out with a sharp scalpel. Then using the same method cut out the side pieces and just glue them on. Then stick it to whatever you want to mount it on - job done. Good luck with it!

You're great! Sorry about all the questions, I'm new to the hobby so I'm still trying to figure things out. I have one last question though if you don't mind, what are the size of the chains you used around the waists of some of the berzerkers?

Hi Deiyos. No worries about answering questions, fire away with them I'm happy to help where I can. As for the chain, this is from an old bit of jewellery that Mrs Monkeyh was getting rid of. I should imagine you can pick something up pretty cheaply with a bit of searching (or try good old e-bay).

Search for Jewelers chain, I believe that is the term for very small fine link chain that most people us for their models. Comes in several sizes/gauges I think.

Battled today. 2500pts Orks & Khorne vs. blood angels, playing the Relic. It was a good game, we started well but the blood angels started to pull things back, the Berzerkers slaughtered the Death company (well Kharne did most of the damage) before everybody was incinerated by their Furisio dreadnought! The fast vehicles of the blood angels did well but they just ran out of numbers in the end, so we won the relic, they got slay the warlord ( ) and first blood, so 3-2, to be honest I thought it was pretty close, and very bloody - not many left on the table at the end! A win's a win though, and that two in a row!

A couple more bikes done at last!
