Hello kids,
Once upon a time, there was this not-so-lovely mutated pile of corrupted flesh, called Father Pox. Father Pox was blessed by the all-powerful God of Mutated Piles of Corrupted Flesh, aka Nurgle. One day, Father Pox started breeding children (not in the same way as humans, thankfully - they just sort of grow out of his toxious slime), and they lived happily ever after.
So, what I'll show you today are some models of my growing Nurgle Army, starting with Father Pox himself (WIP terrain piece):
Squelch!
Some Spawn I made aaaages ago, but I don't think they're that bad:
Slither
And a big Mutant thing which will, for now, pass as a Troll:
Gurgle!
Comments anyone?
You never explained the coolness of the background nor what it was to me
Looks awesome. I especially like the way it looks like the mark of Chaos was carved into its flesh
Brilliant paining with that bit. Are you going to convert some plaguebearers/your trolls/nurglings/other things "being born" from it? What about a discernible "head" type part?
As for the spawn, I faintly recall you showing them to me. Liking the little rat that looks as though it's about to be eaten. What's the head on the left one?
Cool! When you said about the troll before, I thought you'd used a base model. Will those be intestines or cr*p on the floor behind it? Good use of the fly head. Hope you've got enough left over spawn pieces for some more to make a unit of them!
Thanks HB,
I might convert stuff 'erupting' from the Father later, but that can wait till I actually have an army, eh?
The head on the left Spawn is just a skull from the (soon-to-be-old) Skellie sprue
I'll buy a troll model soon, just to use one of those cool official models (although converted with two heads, of course), but yeah, this one's green stuff over a marble (to save me some GS), mounted on rat ogre legs
And yeah, he is taking a poo
Thanks again
Liking the painting on the "troll". It could be used as a chaos troll, a chaos ogre, a ruleswise normal ogre, a minotaur substitute, yet another spawn, the mount for a character or something. Maybe the character itself
Don;t know if you posted Whazzup before, but he still rocks
Don;t forget to bring him next time!
The troll is definately gruesome, perhaps use it as a beast of nurgle?
Thanks for the comments
And update time!
Here's a WIP Daemon Herald/Chaos Champion I made today:
Doesn't he look dead sexy?
I worked a bit more on him after taking the pic, and am much happier with him now... anyways, comments anyone?
Looking awesome. I'm liking the split gut peeled back effect and the sculpting of it. I hope you've filled the little indent on the model's left arm. I'd suggest making the weapon a little bigger and perhaps longer. Looking awesome though. Post pictures of the new version when possinle!
Cheers once more for the comments (and the heads up), and here's the big ol' slimebelly ready for painting (unless of course you lot have some cool crazy idea that could be added):
Front
Derriere
As alwayz, lemme know what you think of it
I think the model's right arm needs a little extra bulking up, with sores, pus-y boils etc. On the back, there is a bit of greenstuff that stops abruptly. You need to smooth it INTO the model's original shape. If you think the head is a little bland, add a tentacle from the top. Not a massive one, but it'd change it
Thanks for the comments peoplez, I'll see if I can find a way to actually follow your advice
In the meantime, here's a mutant thing I made this weekend:
Gimme a kissy!
Comments welcome as always!
Cool! I like the toothy maw! Spawn are technically mutants and it looks like a spawn
A little 'ardcoat varnish on the guts and perhaps a little green ink on the metals. But, still looks good.
Awwww, it's cute, squelchy, evil and pustulent!
Kudos, my dear man!
It's okay, it's Evil
He's probably got one on standby
Kera, what do you mean by on a thorn? As I said earlier, Evil, looking good, man! Glad you eventually got those buggering stitches to work
I do like the hook. With the length of stick you were talking about, it fits better than my idea for it
Any idea what the bearers will be like? Also, will there be any conversions to the actual palanquin?
When protocol droid, you break, rely on the Force, you must.
Palanquin, methinks, not a throne... Just a guess.
I like all your scratch built models. The maggot man would make a good horror of nurgle.
Your greater daemon is quite impressive, but I think you need to do some more sculpting on the fingers on the mace hand. The tips of the fingers need to be bulkier IMO.
Dang boy, I didn't realise that it would be that big Considering how much GS you usually use, you used a lot
I'd say try to bulk out the mace handle. Maybe a small blob on the end as a secondary crushing point?
