It's time to start something new, something where i can be creative, something disgusting and not clean, something like Nurgle.
I am a bit tierd of painting red, so I have decided to start with my new project: "The Purge"!!!
It doesn't mean that ill stop my blood angel project, but ill be switching between these two projects.

The goal is to put great weight on the quality of each miniature, and not rushing the process, since I have my BA almost done. Ill be using them to play​​. However, it must be said that I've never worked with green stuff or any kind of conversions like this before, so I'm a rookie in this field, but will definitely do my best. So if you have any suggestions or any good websites please share them

Some info about The Purge:

The Purge first appeared in late M36, having been consumed by the belief that the galaxy is hopelessly corrupt and the only way to purity lies in death.
Even within the holds of Chaos the Purge are a feared and mysterious chapter. Though the Purge have uncertain origins their numbers grow steadily as they continue to bring death to dozens of worlds. In battle the Purge advance slowly and systematically exterminate all traces of life with their poison gas and other indiscriminately deadly weapons. The Purge despise life in all its forms and have waged war against aliens and mankind alike for 3000 years, attempting to exterminate all life in the galaxy. Where the Purge attack, famine and pestilence soon follow. They are known to frequently employ Blight Drones in battle.

Origin: Death Guard
Chaos dedication: Nurgle
Colours: Black and green
Specialty: Purges

Here are some pictures with what i'm working with atm

HellBrute:












Cultist:

haven't seen to many Purge armies. look forward to see how these turn out. The green stuff work on the hellbrute is brilliant for a someone not used to working with it, and it'll only get better (practice makes perfect), and the extended barrels really balance the model out more, nice work :-)
What sort of army are you going to build? will it be more marine or cultist based?

forgot to post a pic of the cultist champion




and yeah i coulnt resist hehe:

Its gonna be mainly marines but wont mean that there will be tons of cultist involved

It has been a while ago i have posted something and for that i apologies, i have been busy with school, work, low on cash and working on other peoples projects and spend alot of time figuring out how to handling this project but now i have found a solution and have new material. I want to point out that i haven't painted any models (besides my hellbrute but still WIP) becuase i am still working on the color scheme, i am testing several colors ATM.

Regular CSM:

So my idea for this unit is to give them a feel of newly fallen space marines and still haven't fully been touched by Nurgle, but are in the early process. Meaning they are nothing speciel yet, and have to prove themselves worthy.

This is still WIP, i atm waiting for a tool called tubetool set, to add some tubes to their helmets and armor, also waiting for DG forgeworld shoulders and some GS on their armor will be done, but not a hole lot of it.




















I have also been working on the Hellbrute a bit but the color scheme (of the armor am i not happy with yet so that is gonna get repainted, but again WIP)

For a beginner ur conversions and gs skills are quite capable i might say, not enough to blow up heads but enough to raise eyebrows. The force is strong with you but you are not a jedi yet.
Oh and this is nothing big cuz the detail on ur models are quite good on the pics, but when you start to group shot these guys, read my signature.

Your marines are looking pretty good so far and I really like the effect you have on the flesh of the Helbrute. Looking forward to seeing what you do once you get the Tubetool.

a little update, finish marine with banner, made some conversions on it and all of the csm have now forgeworld shoulder (on one side) and regular on the other so i can free hand make the mark of the purge, but still waiting on the tubetool set, so i can start painting them

thanks m8, yeah cant wait either on the tubetool, atm is it the only thing holding me back on starting painting them, just need some small details with GS and battle damage so it dosnt seems so sleak, but not gonna over do it

All right, so today i was lucky to borrow a tubetool set from a mate, meaning i am now ready to start painting the unit. do you guys want me to post pictures of the process of painting or just the final product?

here are the last pictures unpainted! now with tubes on them and made some battle damage on the armor.

Nice , how do yo make those cables?
And do i see that right, is one of the cultists, Bane?

those cables where done with a tool called tubetool set, its awesome but the company is kinda of a slow, it has been now 3 weeks ago that i order it and still havent recieved it, a german comapny and i live in denmark so shoulnt take more then 4 days if they where send straight away. i was lucky that m8 had one that i could borrow.

here is their webside: http://www.masq-mini.com/

yes he looks like bane hehe, dident notest that myself

Yet again it has been a while ago i have posted something and for that i apologize.... again... School, work, GF and painting for other people has given me little time to work on my own project, specially now that the exams in school are gonna be soon.

Since it was my birthday some days ago (YARRRR) i recieved some awesome gifts from some on my m8's (thanks guys!!) that should help me with my project:



As i have explained before i want to clearly show who are the newcomers (fallen, renegade, gone rogue) and who are the veterans in my army.
Hopefully you also will the the difference between my regular CSM and all elites, fast attacks and heavy support (marines).

Havocs:

for quite sometime i knew how i want my havocs to look like, it might come as a shock but i dont like the GW havocs, and specially not when they almost are one piece models, where i cant equip them as i desire. For that reason i have decided to use

Death guard upgrade kit combined with mark 2 leggings, arms and backpack AND LEGION AUTOCANNON SET

some people might think DUDE have you seriusly bought all that to make a unit of 5?
Yes i have, since i want my army be something i can be proud of (ofc i have to paint them awesomely!!!) and idd it have been very very expensive but i think the result will be worth it.

I must say it was a big job assembling them
but enought text you probably want to see some pics



if you watch the pictures of the Death guard upgrade kit on FW's page the upgrade kit is a different mark than the arms and leggings, and i wanted to void that (i have been researching what mark the death guard upgrade kit is, and it seems to be either mark 2 or 3), at the same time i think the looks of the mark 2 and 3 are alot better, but you decide



a little advice or trick, sometime the pieces just does not fit as shown in the picture here:





but if you place the miniature under hot water (really hot, it's gonna hurt a bit becuase you have to have your miniature and your hands under the runing hot water under the entire process, but you have to be patient!!!) in that way you can bend the resin a bit, but remember be patient or else you will break it!
when you are done hurry and turn the cold water on, as cold you can for a couple of seconds so the resin gets hard again and keeps its new position (sorry for my bad english i am doing my best! but let me know if its nonsense!)

it only works on resin!



after that close the small gab with some green stuff



now pictures of the entire unit!

Looking good, it's perfectly acceptable to spend loads on FW for one unit, i've done it before i have a 1000pt iron warrior force that cost me well over £200 due to the models I used.
Looking forward to seeing some paint on these guys, the squad will look great in the colour scheme and the helemets are beautiful great job so far, lookng forward to seeing more

Young Logan

okay so i have started with my test model, and i need a bit of help

the result so far is this:











now i dont know if i am happy with the colors of the "bubles" perhaps i bit to yellow? dont know, looking for suggestions, if you have a cool color scheme for that or pictures of that please let me know

Nice GSing, conversions and painting. This blog has quite a lot of promise!

Looking good. The Chaos Warriors heads are surprisingly fitting for the Purge. I mean, they work really well for any CSM army, but for the Purge, something about their aesthetic really fits with the army's theme. Consider me subscribed, the Purge are one of my favorite CSM forces and I love what you're doing with them. As for the Autocannons that aren't lining up, you can also try blowing the model with a hair dryer until the feed is pliable enough to be moved into the correct position, put some glue on it, blow until dry. The hot water method works as well, but there's a higher chance of burning yourself with the hot water.

+1 for this thread showing a lot of promise. Choice in bits and greenstuff work is fantastic. As for the bubbles on his shoulder, personally the yellow looks good. Its a great contrast to the rest of the model. I'd maybe add some more 'fluid' to the surrounding areas just to give it a more infected look.
Also, any thoughts on adding rust to the weapons?

Wow, nice job. I like the head swaps on the cultists. They really fit in. Hellbrute is paintedup nicely as well. I like the paintjobs

Some good work going here. Will be following

A little update!

So now i am almost done with my 10 CSM, what is missing is the rust effect, the symbol (it is harder than i thought) and the base.

i am gonna post some pictures of the painting process, but wont show yet the group picture just yet.


The process of painting these are guys takes a bit longer compared to dry brushed techniques, the method i have decided to use is to really thin down the colors (with water) so the brush lines wont be seen and not destroy some of the details.

I start with giving the miniature a real washed down green, and do this 3-4 times. After that i paint all metal parts.

when that is done i wash the entire miniature down and it gives this effect:



nothing speciel there.
Ones that is done i give it the same color i used before washing it down (really thinned down with water) so it gives a smooth look.
so the result is:





ones that is dry i apply i brighter green color ( that i mixed myself) in some of the areas that i painted again after the wash, ones again really thinned down with water:

here you can see how thin the color is (just been applied on the picture)



Ones its dry this is the result:



Since i still want to be in some of the areas a bit brighter i applied a really bright green color, which will seems odd, but will be fixed afterwards:



As you can see, it dosent look that great, but to lower that bright color a bit down, i used the color i mixed myself on top of it (again really thinned down with water) and the result is:



by doing this you can see the difference on the shoulder and the leg. but remember dont over do it!



here the result of the sergent:



i tried to do the logo on the left shoulder BUT it does NOT look good, i will remake it ones my exams are over, and hopefully will get alot better results!



I do need some advice! i cant decide how and what color to use on the base! i have been searching for some inspiration but unable to find something that i like? any suggestions?

You could Just Drybrush brown onto them?

Lookin' good anyway

Normally I find Nurgle armies a bit flat, as they all look the same. Somehow yours has a better feel. Maybe its the attention you gave each Marine. I'll be following your blog

Today i just finished my test model with the rust effect, some feetback on that would be awesome, since i dont know if the placement of the rust if good enought.

Not bad but IMO it could be a bit rustier when I do rust I stipple on Scorched Brown (Rhinox Hide) Then stipple on Blazing Orange (Troll Slayer Orange) and edge-highlight with Mithril Silver (Runefang steel)
Your models look amazing

Beautiful pustules and impressive freehand.
Bases are best decided by one thing. What type of battlefield do you play on usually? Bases that match battlefields generally look best, Battlefield and base in jarring disagreement always looks worse no matter how good they both are.

Looking good so far, really need to get myself one of those greenstuff tube tools it seems to give great results. Totally got drawn in by the mention of the purge in the title, my favourite datasheet to use in apoc at the minute!

So i have just "finished" (meaning i still need to do free-hand and base) with my nurgle sorcerer =D. It is a bit of a challenge but it was fun to work with it =D

Some really excellent painting here. Cant wait to see more.

Quick question! i need help cant seems to find out if this works or not!

I don't know what you need help with but it looks very good

Its the base if it looks good enought, if it mixes good with the green of the model, and thanks =D
