Much better without the goblin green right? haOriginally Posted by horacus
They are indeed.
So glad I made the change. Really glad.
Okay, I've not done much painting in the time I've had because... Well to tell the truth I reinstalled Fallout New Vegas and it took more time away than I expected, and was far too grindy to be much fun for me.
I did manage to however get around to almost finishing my nurgle bikers first off.
They are still not done, I'm struggling with the concept of maybe having them a lot more "attached" to their bikes, almost like an obliterator is to his weapons.
And a nurgle biker lord. I figured I would use the space marine biker for him cos it looks so much more rugged and tough, suiting the nurgle theme nicely. I didn't want to overdo the nurgle on him obviously, but he is still quite rotten. I've been using a lot of plastic glue and liquid greenstuff to create rot on models and so far I'm really loving the effects you can get.
I don't have bases for them yet actually, but I will be getting some on order from ebay and have to deck them out nicely.
This squad of marines carrying flamers will be slowly adapted into my ranks, I wanted them to look slightly more experienced and hardened than my normal soldiers and the stacks and belly stuff works well with them. Not to mention the entire squad has faces exposed and rotted away thanks to the old plastic cement.
I may have to take more photos of just the heads for it to even show, but I think when I paint them they'll look a lot more gruesome than simple helmet marines.
And the true bad-asses of the army (even though I'm not using them) are these guys. I have magnetised the bolter arm as I may or may not want to combi-something them but no idea what way yet, I also magnetised the reaper autocannon so these guys can sit back a little bit if they wanted and blast rhinos.
Last but not least is a couple of small objectives. Me and some friends are starting a campaign soon, and I figure since no one else will, I'll make some objectives for my games so its easy enough to see.
I am running
Daemon prince of nurgle, wings and nurgles rot.
Dreadnought with multi melta, extra armor and heavy flamer
Dreadnought with lascannon and heavy flamer
7 Plague marines, 2 flamers, champion with fist and rhino

I am actually terrified of going up against tyranids so if anyone has any tips and hints to battle tyranids (and not list suggestions because it's way too late, and nids are the only thing I have serious trouble with.)
Loving the Plague marines, you have some amazing greenstuff skills!
Thanks heaps! I still have so many skills to learn. Such a long annoying and slow process!
Great GS Work. I love the pipes too. What are they made of?
Thanks muchly.
I can't believe i typed this all out on my phone and it never sent it... Bastard!
But they are small plastic card rods, probably about 4mm thick, I've drilled a few random holes in them, used clippers to stretch out the top end, glued em down to the backpack and then randomly spread around liquid greenstuff over it. Any that wasn't covered in liquid GS I drown in plastic cement and poke and prod with a toothpick to stretch out and make it look more organic. Done.
Plastic rods...I see. I like the recipe
It's the best way to make ugly things happen!Plastic rods...I see. I like the recipe
Amen brother, amen.
Not been too busy, pictures ahoy!
Nurgle lord on bike, not done, but I'm liking it so far, the powersword could be better though I'm just so drained from all this plague marine stuff.
Another view
One more side
I have yet to really use these guys in game well, but I'm learning as I think their speed could be quite harsh against unsuspecting units.
Ogryns are getting the final steps, not to keen to paint these guys but I guess I cant escape any of it. I would like to rip out the gut plates though and just put more belly/wires and things in place as I feel they dont look that great.
I bought some 40mm bases a week ago for making objectives for games with mates, since no one else shows interest in it.
I actually LOVE this one, the rats came in handy that I got off a mate and I think the final product is fairly cool.
Ork objective
And lastly for today, the horsemen (rough riders), I have a long ways to go with these guys but I am so tired of painting green and tin bits ha.
Nice rough riders. Also, love the objective markers.
classic looking ork objective there.
Ogryns,,, they still look a little fantasy to me. Ripping out gut plates is quite difficult, but can be done. Did as much for my elctroo-cogs in the my admech force.
Ideas I will one day get around to (finishing)
Sisters of Battle & Epic Superheavies Modular Imperial City board Varyngr: It's Dwarvish for Squat

Thanks man!
I could just carve the plates down? Smooth them out and work something else into the space, or just have nice flat belly plates.
this is what i ended up with.
Gouging out the belly plates and having green stuff guts in there would look much cooler in my opinion.

Yeah why did I not think to just have guts spilling out? I didn't really want them to be nurgle or anything as that doesn't fit my traitor guard idea. But...I might have to just give it a good thought.this is what i ended up with.

Wish I could say I did the star on his banner, but I had a friend of mine do it cos I trust his skills.
Nice renegades
Thanks man! Painting guard is such a nice change.
I just finished reading fulgrim, and it's really wanted me to get some hobby side of things done that have been bugging me, so first off was the prince. He had so many things I didn't like about him that I felt painting him would actually be a waste of time, so I've taken down the armor on his legs with blade and sand paper, sculpted a more traditional marine shin piece, and added trim, as well as changing the position of the left arm because it bugged me and made him look like an ape. I also fixed the stuff I put in his wings cos I felt bad. Made the shoulder pads more interesting and lastly gave him a deformed gut worthy of the name nurgle.
Pictures aren't great but show what I have done, which is the important part. I hope to finish the last small details on him and then get to work painting. Shall be fun!
