<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Smashotron's Traitors and Renegades // Typhus! (02/21)"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Smashotron's Log of Traitors and Renegades // Vendettas and Sabre Platforms (Jan 1st) I find myself putting up a thread whenever I get a conversion idea, so instead I'm going to combine all my work into one log of my progress. I have an Imperial Guard force that I run as traitors that worship that great big bile in the sky, Nurgle. I also run a Nurgle Chaos Space Marines force. I've been doing a lot of conversions for the former and lots of painting for the latter.

Here I'd like to show my progress with both and get any feedback I can. If any thing looks bad, let me know. I can fix it! Right now I've been build Sabre Platforms for my traitors and just recently I've started building a pair of Vendettas from scratch. These are the Sabres so far:

Spoiler:









For the Vendetta I have used a plastic tea can, Stormraven wings, a Robogear flyer, brass pipes and plastic card.

Spoiler:





I also finished up some traitors for my Heavy Weapon Squads as well as my traitor Pask model.



Lastly, I finished up my Vendettas and just now primed them. I paint to start knocking them out soon. Once they're painted I'll build my Vulture.



As always, I appreciate any comments and criticism that come my way. Until next time!

The wings on the vendetta look like they are angled down a little too much.

She is adding a hint of red glitter to all her power weapons. Does it seem to ruin the great gradient she did, or does it add the right amount of something nice?

Spoiler:





She is also deciding on what secondary red to use on her sergeant helmets. What do you think about this red combo? It's Mechrite Red as the base with Wild Rider Red on top. Is the Wild Rider too blight or just right?

Recently though, I started to dislike the Sisters' scheme after applying battle damage. It just didn't look right. Either I was doing it wrong, or shouldn't have added any in the first place. Because of this I decided to switch the Dheneb Stone armor to Chaos Black armor. At first I liked it, but now I feel like it doesnt blend well with the Traitor Guard and Deathguard elements of my forces. Basically I am looking for an armor color to use that will compliment the rest of my models. Orange armor and tan bolters? Keep the black armor? Switch back to tan armor? Lose the Orange bolters?

The main issue is that, even though I'm not a huge fan of Camo Green, I have three pots of it and no Orkz to use it on. I have painted the SoB and CSM vehicles Camo Green with Orange secondary colors so the Sisters' cloth will at least compliment their vehicles. What do you guys think? I really need a hand here.

Here are my Guardsmen on the left, two example Sisters in center, and a Plague Champion on the right.

2 Battle Bro squads with Multi-melta
1 Battle Bro squad with Flamers
1 Dominion squad with Meltas
1 Retribution squad with Heavy Bolters

Spoiler:

Here are the Multi-meltas I am working on for my Traitor heavy infantry:



This here is my Brother Sergeant for the Retribution squad. He is short is power-pack but otherwise I am happy about the model:


Along with the Sergeant, I've had my Heavy Bolters finished minus power-packs (considering incorporating an ammo clip to the packs):


I am also working on a pair of Power axe-wielding Brother Sergeants for the Dominions and the Flamer Battle Bro squad. I chose Power axes since the Bros are already I3 so will usually strike last anyway. This is the same philosophy as my Plague Marines really.


And finally here are some generic Brother Sergeants I have been fiddling with. The shields are cosmetic, but do you think it could cause confusion? I've considered using then as Crusaders instead but I had no plans to use four Crusaders even when fielding Jacobus. Thoughts?

My photos don't show that the tip ends flat and square, like the plague sword from the Plague Marines kit. I may trim down the sword though!

Also I just realized what you meant by Uruk-hai sword. I always liked the look of those so I will definitely try it out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497633/5259221.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497633/5259221.page GMT Re:Smashotron's Traitors and Renegades // The Rotten Saint (02/06)
This is definitely awesome and nice to see you adding to your Nurgle Guardsmen. Your work has definitely gotten far more interesting since the last time I saw most of it. Keep it up!

This is Andrew from AIPH days, btw.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497633/5283706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/497633/5283706.page GMT Smashotron's Traitors and Renegades // Death Cultists of Nurgle (02/16)
For now though, i've recently put together some Dealth Cultists for Jacob's retinue. They are all modeled with power swords and power axes, though one guy's axe looks more like a mace. This will allow me to choose between S4 AP3 swings at I6, or S5 AP 2 swings at I1 for Terminators. Since these guys don't come with grenades, when charging through cover I may uses the axes anyway. I am treating them as unarmored Marines/infantry fueled by battle lust and an urge to spread decay.

First off, here is a better shot of my Death Cultists for your eyes to gander:


Secondly, I have been staring out my Typhus model for ages and I finally decided to paint him. Here are what some of my Plague Marines look like so I painted him with this same scheme. The only things to do now are finish his scythe, paint the base and then paint the nurglings. I really don't know what to do about the nurglings yet.
