Hey guys! I have decided that I want to slowly build up a Nurgle 40k army, which will be a mix of Chaos Space Marines and Daemons. It will be fairly slow progress as I don't get much time to model and paint for myself, but I will keep you updated as often as I can!

Right! So to start you off I have started converting my first Terminator. I have taken a few progress shots along the way.


I started by shaving the imperial eagle off a terminator chest and hacking some chunks out of it with some plastic cutters.

I had some old starter set terminator legs kicking around so I decided I would use them, I just needed to removed the rear torso.

I removed the purity seal with a knife as I didn't want him looking like an Imperial marine.

The messy bits were then smoothed with Plastic Weld, which when brushed onto the surface sort of melts the plastic and blends the tatty bits into the main bulk of the plastic.


I wanted to get some inspiration for the head convertion so I had a look though my bitz box for other Nurgly bitz that I could steal ideas from.



Cheers for looking!

Some really nice modelling skills you got there, hes turning out rather impressive!

What arms you planning to use on him mate?

Keep it up, looking forward to see how well you paint

Cheers Charky! I will answer that with a picture shortly

Bit more work done

Ergh... looks good, in a nasty kind of way

ATM he looks like a really evil Santa claus lol

I particularly like the toes for some reason, it's a great detail, and reall different from the hooves everyone else does.

Hahaha that'll just be the difference in colour between the plastic and the putty

Cheers,

Very well done, I love Nurgly conversions as they are just twisted and gross but all the more awesome.
How have you done the small rivets (the pieces of white) on his shoulder pads? I might want to steal that.
Also, another question, your GS looks brighter than others I've seen, what brand of putty are you using?

Cheers! The rivets are just dots of liquid greenstuff

Very nicely done indeed Mr carrot, I look forwards to seeing this progress, you clearly have the skills to make this something really special!
Keep it up, JP.

Keeping my eye on this blog! Looks good.

Starting to look good, the powerfist and storm bolter need alot of work, seems too clean and imperial.

Don't worry, got some plans for them Just hope i get a spare moment this weekend to have a play with it!

Decided that I preferred the mouth without the tentacles on this guy, might add a tentacly mouth on another guy though

I wasn't 100% on your GS work (no offence meant) but now that you've painted it i think it looks really awesome. Can't wait to see more
