Oh heck naw!!!

I started my Biker Nurgle Lord and the Champion of his little squad.
Since my wife told me "Motorcycles? Guys fight on motorcycles in the future? That seems pretty stupid," I have been a firm believer also that guys riding on motorcycles look rather stupid.
Enter my problem. I want to field Nurgle Bikers to ride about with my Biker Lord because in game terms, they seem pretty pimp.
Enter my best buddy that started a Warriors of Chaos army about 2 years ago and never really took to Fantasy.
"Hey buddy!"
"Hey!"
"You know those old Chaos knights you have? Can I have them to make Nurgle bikes out of them?"
"Sure, they're yours if you go let my dogs out today while I'm outta town."
"Deal!"

And after a short drive, some dog licks and a short drive back, I am the proud owner of 5 Chaos Knights!

So what I did was first, break off the torso of the knights.
Next, I made new Nurgle space marine torsos from my bitz box.
I selected suitably awesome heads.
Death Guard left shoulder, cool other right shoulder.
Get a Flamer for my Burning Brand.
Glue the new toros onto the knights legs.
Start painting.

Simple and TOTALLY AWESOME!

Here is the Lord and Champion, with just the base coat of brown. I plan on doing them up rather quick, because hey, I don't have a lot of time to work on my hobby and I WANT THIS gak DONE!

Toodles!

I really like your Death Guard paint scheme. It looks properly dusty/decrepit.

yay more chaos!

Here are some of my OLD Deathguard army I sold about 2 years ago. Again, I am a man of few regrets and I regret selling these. The good news is that I used the money to buy all of my Imperial Guard stuff that you guys see in this blog. So, things happen!

Awe that army was pretty

Yeah and I liked playing it too. But at the time, Chaos was getting pretty weak.
It was all about getting Plague Marines in your face and then smashing you in assault with them and Daemon Princes. It was never that bad until Grey Knights were everywhere and I couldn't even buy a win.
Ah well. Gives me a chance to start over!

My lord and champion about done.

They look suitably dynamic; nicely done.

Happy birthday to me!
My wife got me a box of Nurglings for my birthday. What a strange gift.
Eitherway, I plan on using them. Perhaps they can be my mandatory troop for my Death Guard / Nurgle Daemons list.

Nurglings x 7
Epidemius

Nurgle Lord on a Bike with burning brand
3 nurgle Bikers with 2x Plasma and Plasma pistol

Plague Marines x many 7 man squads with various special weapons

Vindicator
Nurgle HAvocs
Nurgle Havocs

What can go wrong?!

dice...

Dice, First Blood, general warhammer snafu.

Nurglings! Need to do teeth, horns and tounges.

Nice work on those Nurglings. Looks good how you've broke up the model by using different skin tones

lovely swarm of nurglings there. Almost cute suckers!

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Another little trick was that I used one box (technically 3 bases) to make 7 bases of guys. They give you enough of them to literally just pile them on. If you make the models like they suggest, each base has a mountain of little buggers on it. I was glad to see they came in chunks like this instead of solid blocks that you could not break up.

I should have done a WIP of the skin. I painted most of the guys solid white, some solid "rotting flesh" from vallejo and some a mix of goblin green and white. Then I washed most of them with just Agatharn Earthshade, some with green wash and then earthshade, some with vallejo sepia. They turned out way better than I anticipated.

Working on my Vindi now, had a couple hour blocks here and there this weekend that allowed me to get some work done. Speed painting at its best. Primed, based, over brush, over brush, dry brush, basic details based, washed and volia.

So with the Nurglings and the Vindi, about 230 points done in a weekend. You can do this! Just pick up the brush!

looks good mate. Although i am not sure the grey really agrees here, but it looks good.

Working on the Chosen from the Dark Vengeance set. I really don't know what I am going to use them for (maybe the Champions in my squads of Plague Marines?), because I know I'm not fielding Chosen. I just could not resist the models.

I will get a WIP pic up tonight and show you guys whats up!

hmm sergeants wouldn't be bad for them.

I got the ol' camera out for some better pics.

...

I am painting the final coat on the house today...

Im liking the idea of using Horses as Bikes bloody cool idea.

I like it because the Chaos Knights legs don't really look out of place. I've seen people do Rough Riders with fantasy horses from Empire or Bretonia and they look goofy with those legs. Chaos is Chaos, and the armor look seems to fit right in.

I have all of this besides the drake, and it will have to be one of my Vendettas. Otherwise, I am going to move around my nurglings a bit and put them on the big bases and have them be my counts as nurgle spawn. I think a pile of little gribblies would be better spawn anyways than the dumb models they make for spawn now.

Eitherway, I will get some pictures and I will get them posted!

I like the list, have yet to see how it will work.

Ohhhhh man, glory to the Dark Gods!
Played my buddy playing Grey Knights and crushed him. Tzeentch is fickle and made sure I would win. Report with awesome pics incoming.

I played a slight variation of the list I posted:
Basically
Lord on a Bike, Nurgle, Burning Brand, Sigil, Gift, PW
4 Nurgle Bikes, 2x melta
7xPM with PLasma
7xPM with melta
7xHavocs w/nurgle Autocannons
7xHavocs w/nurgle Lascannons
3 terminators w/combimelta
1x Nurgle Oblit
Daemon PRince, wings, armor, tzeentch, gift
2xSpawn Nurgle
Heldrake
Cultists
Cultists

Tried to do AV denial, worked pretty much, only armor value in the list was the Heldrake.

My opponent played a pure Grey Knights list, using something like:
Librarian with the flamer power/jaws thing, terminator armor
10x terminators with psybolts and I think 2 psycannons and various CC weapons
10x strike, psybolts
10x strike, psybolts
razorback with psyflame
3 x psyflemen dreads
stormraven

We did all of the roll offs and this is where I think the luck began to shift to my side. I won the 'pick the sides' roll, since I won that I got to place the first objective of the 5 and then I won the roll off and decided to deploy and go second. Now, unless we were doing it wrong, getting to place 3 of the 5 objectives per mission one is a HUGE advantage, considering when you place the objectives. Since I placed first, I had 3 objectives in my deployment zone, he had 2.
Our deployment was Dawn of War.
He got the Feel No Pain while on an objective with his Warlord.
I got the Soulblaze BS Warlord trait.
Then things got crazy interesting. I rolled for my Gifts of Mutation... my Lord got the Eternal Warrior one (cool!) Then my Prince rolled the... ROLL D3+1 more time! And I toss down a 6!!! 4 rolls! I get Adamantium Will, Fleshbane, Instant Death and... +1 to my armor save! Holy BLEEP! Not that a Deamon Prince isn't good enough (or the endless chatter about how bad he is), he could literally win the game for me now. Looking at my dude now, it would take 72 psybolt bolter shots to cause a wound to him now thanks to 2+ with Daemon of Tzeentch... actually that only causes .666 wounds. Yikes. Add in that if I fly, well take 1/6th of that. The only thing in his army that was any threat would be a Force Hammer or whatever they are called, that would bypass my 2+ and make me take my 5+.
Eitherway, check out my deployment and his. More to come tomorrow.

Turns 1, 2 and 3.
