WIP: Death Guard Plague Marines

Hey all, back again to show a couple of things I've been working on. There have been rumors and speculation that a few of us here at the Istvaanians will be doing another Tale of Gamers style league soon to get our armies done and some games in. My army of choice at the moment is my all nurgle CSM army with demonic allies.


I recently went all out and got hold of a few FW Death Guard upgrade kits, along with some Mk II and III heresy era legs and Maxmini biohazard backpacks. I'm pretty pleased with the results-- they all work together and give a cohesive look to the models. These have been primered white and given an airbrushed basecoat of old style Gretchin Green foundation paint.

 

This is my WIP Chaos Lord. He carries the Burning Brand of Skalathrax, modeled as a Nurgle toxin cannon with a fuel tank backpack (known at the gaming table as the Goop Gun). The base model is the chaos lord from Dark Vengeance. He obviously has a ways to go, but I like how he is shaping up. As usual, let me know what you think.

Dark Vengeance Librarian Conversion and More!

Well, my new photo booth came in this afternoon and I finally got a chance to sit down and try it out. I've still got some more playing around to do with the lights, but already my photos are 1000 times better than before. Here are a few random miniatures, including some from my Iron Hands Commission and my Battle Force Challenge Orks.

Warhound Titan Walks Again!

In my last post I know I mentioned that I would have an update on my Night Goblins. Apparently one of the little guys was friends with Papa Nurgle and infected me with a cold that will not go away. By the end of week I was feeling better, and I did manage to get a few commission items done and out of the way. One of those items was the Warhound Titan that I mentioned a few posts back. That had to be one of the worst models I have ever put together. I don't know if it was the fact that it was an eBay salvage job, or if it was just a bad kit from Forgeworld. Either way, I know that I wont be getting one of those models for a long time! Here's a few photo's of the completed Titan. The owner will finish the assembly after painting. He is going with a heavily weathered look, since this guy was already in bad shape to begin with!

If you look at the leg on the right, you'll notice that is actually a piece of plastic pipe, plastic card, and quarter inch wood! The original leg was missing when I got the model, and there was no way to get a replacement. Once the model is painted everything will blend in. The owner wanted the Titan to be posed, but with one leg being made out of plumbing material and the other pinned in several places where it had been broken, I had to go with a more static pose. The model is bolted to the base so that it can be removed for storage or transportation. The owner does great paint work, and I am curious to see how this guy turns out when he is done with it.

Now that all of my commission work is done and out of the way, I can return to my Night Goblins. Well, as soon as I get over this cold. If you're interested in having me do some work for you, contact me and I'm sure we can work something out!
