Rot for the rot god, a smelly little log!

[Cassarus]

Hey all!

Edit: now with vampire counts on page 2

Being almost done with my 40k army I thought it was time to start another little project, Nurgle daemons. Being a long time nurgle fan and player both in whfb and 40k but I never had many daemons, well thats changed now having bought 51 plaguebearers on the Swedish convention bsk last weekend, owning 14 from before and ordering a box of the new command I'm now up to 70 plaguebearers! Crazy I know...
I don't really have army list yet and I don't really know where tis army is going, but I guess I'll end up around 3000 point having 4 herald a guo and some other juicy stuff. And once my daemons is done I'll guess it's time to pic up my old warriors of chaos and rebuild them to, but thats for later. Much of the inspiration to building this army has come from seeing other great nurgle army's like DV8's and skulliz stuff, so thank to both of you!

Well my goal is to be done with this army to late may once I'll bring them to a big tournament on Lincon, (another Swedish convention) so I have plenty of time.

well time for some pic of what I've done so far. First up will be some pb's and a herald. I got 14 of them and a herald done, just need to do the bases but that will have to wait till I've painted the last 5 guys for the regiment. (witch I'll expect to do today)

Well here goes.

Is the herald a GW model? It's got a really nice pose (and paint job).

[Jim]

I think this is a model from Mordheim game - The Carnival of Chaos warband to be precise.

Its a great model and an excellent paint job - Well done to you Cassarus!

Jim

[Cassarus]

Thanks guys!
And yes it's the carnival master from mordheim!
I'm currently finishing of the last guys of the first regiment and I've built three nurgling bases, so tomorrow I'll try to do the bases on the regiment and start on my nurglings.

[MegaGroganX]

Awesome paint job bro, good to see new styles popping up all over the place

Care to post some steps on how you acheived it?

[Cassarus]

Thanks mate!
Well sure I can: it's a weary simple paint scheme actually. undercoated whit, then paint all skin tanned flesh, highlighted with dwarf flesh, then carefully washed with levitan purple, ogre flesh and baal red. then it's another highlight with with dwarf flesh and a last one with elf flesh.

I'll try to do a little mini tutorial once I start painting some more plaguebearers.

Cheers

Hey there, Cass!

Lovely deamons! I really like the Herald. It's such a great mini and you've done it justice. Bases look good too, mate!

Cheers,
Monsterzonk

[Acerbus]

everything is great! but what's that model behind the herald? a chaos lord of sorts?

[Cassarus]

Thanks guys!

Acerbus yes it's a chaos lord for my mortal nurgle army, based on the archon on foot model.

[Skulliz]

Nice start mate! That palanquin looks really cool. Fun too see that you've gotten your hands on some older nurgle models aswell. Keep em coming!

[Kronos]

everything looks good mate, nice paintjob on the minis, always prefer the flesh tones on nurgle models than just green, brings out the rotten and putird bits a lot more imo, and nice to see some classic minis

[mrtn]

A very nice start on the army. That second herald looks like a nice figure, I guess it's an old GW one?

[Satan]

Nice. Great job so far. In fact I think you've inspired me enough to go over and pick my brush up...

[Cassarus]

Thanks for all the response people!
I've always liked the old nurgle stuff so I'm truing to hunt down as many I can get my hands one^^
So yes mrtn it is and old model, a old champion actually. and I'm glad to hear that Satan, We never did see you finish of your 40k daemon army!

And finally a little update, I've actually painted quit some models, but winters closing in one us here in Sweden, the days getting darker so it's really hard to get good pice. Anyhow I've managed to take a few om some new stuff and I hope you guys lit it.

First the herald on palanquin

and with his homies

[Cassarus]

and some furies I've been working on. don't really like the models like most people but I've bought them a long time ago, waist not... I might exchange them some day, when I find the motivation to sculpt nurglings with wings^^

Cheers!

[Monsterzonk]

AWESOME!!! I really love it! That Herald is just great! Stunning rust effects. Great armour and banners. Good colour scheme. Lovely base. 10/10

Keep it up!

Monsterzonk

[athamas]

[Cassarus]

Monsterzonk: thanks mate, glad you like it!

And I got an little update fore you guys again, not much this time, I've finished basing the second regiment, started working on my beast and took an army pic. and I think I'm gonna start building my guo soon, just needs some good idea to convert him in some fun way. got any good ideas?
