Woa. That's like. A lot of stuff.

Lol, just gotta make sure the wife doesn't find the receipt and I will survive long enough to use all those goodies!

One last suggestion. You could have it as a weird thing that floats around... Know what here's a pic (sorry for the size):

And an update here too.

Look what I finally did! Two Dreadnoughts and a beastman of some kind.

I finally stripped them. Or rather, I finally took them out of the brine. They practically stripped themselves after nearly a month in the dip.

Now I can finally use up the rest of that darwi...

Good to see another strange thing emerging from your mind.

Yay! More stuff!

Oh yes lads! I haven't forgotten about my lovely little plaguers. I think I have just enough darwi to Nurgle up both these dreads and maybe if I'm lucky the art shop has some more.

I was wondering how I can make these dreads a bit bigger though, any ideas? I'm thinking I can get height by adding some darwi to the hip joint, maybe extending into a big gross belly. I think the weapons need to be attached using darwi as well and this way I can get some width as well as make the arms more poseable. I also wanted to change the face of one dread as well, just to make them different from one another.

Oh and in case anyone was wondering they will both get plasma cannons and power scourges!

FYI Darwi is a lot cheaper on ebay than amazon or the other Darwi site.

Here ya go Dakka!

The beginning of dread number one.

Now I wanna talk about this guy for a bit here, so I will!

Metal dreads are awesome if only because repositioning the legs is as simple as carefully bending them, more on that later. So since I have 2 identical models I wanted their poses to be really different. This fella is going to be looking down at something getting ready to blast it with his PC, his scourges hanging low as he gets a good look at his victim. I'll reinforce this with an appropriate base, perhaps a Marine firing a futile round with his pistol?

Anyways so now you know why he is shoegazing. How did I do it? Well it started with the legs. I very carefully bent them a small amount at a time until I felt like I had a good pose. Anything is an improvement upon the "at-attention" stock pose so when I saw something I liked I stuck with it. Then I glued together the feet, body and scourge arm. Once that was dry I simply squished some darwi in the hip joint and worked the snot-magic! I did the same thing for the scourge arm, but it was a little finicky so I'll let that dry for a night and continue tomorrow.

In the meantime there is a lot to work on! Maybe I'll do dread number 2?

Great work as always!

You know I never noticed the price difference online, I will have to check that out. I never thought to look on eBay for darwi. I also forgot to go into the shop after work today so they might have darwi. It is pretty cheap regardless though.

I know I'll need a lot of it for the Rotwing. I am gonna nix the stock wings and make my own I've decided. I think bucket lids may be a suitable material...

Here is a wip of dread #1. Oh how the plan changes at every step! Lol

Thanks Cacty! I'm glad you like the dread. He spent a lot of time in the dip. I kind of had a fear of stripping the dreads, its a lot of work to get all those crevices. As you can see I didn't give it my all. Ha-ha. Oh well. More Nurgle goodness!

Here he is, I'm gonna say at about 90%. There are a few things I want to add, but this is pretty much it.

Nice work! I forgot to mention that you can get a 36" strip of GS (as opposed to 6) on ebay for under the price GW sells it for. I havent used darwi (yet) but GS is so fething good.

I just had a thought...

Undead Warband...

Zombies...

Plague Marines...

Zombies...

Looks like my undead Warband is going to pull double duty!

And I was wondering how to base those zombies, now I know.

Sweet.

I've also managed to source some plastic for Heldrake wings. Thanks Sysco dill pickles, your bucket lids will serve with distinction.

Makes a solid excuse to darwi up a Typhus too.

Oh right... You need him to unlock Plague zombies don't you? Lol. Looks like I'm in the market for a terminator!

I have an untouched Chaos Teminator lord on sprue you can cover in clay.

Hey. Expandable foam. Nurgle. You know gak can be done with that. *BOOM* (Oh, and zombies are cool too )

An update here too! Updates for everybody!

I just love how his pose turned out...

Dreadnought bum!

Wait.... you're not dead? HES NOT DEAD GUYS!

Careful man, he might be dead and the Nurgle clay might have taken possession of his account. That would explain the awesomeness of the aforementioned dreadnought's pose.

Worship The Clay !
