#13 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, just wanted to say hi with a picture. I'm a 33 year old father, who paints as a hobby when the kids are off to bed. For the past four years I've been painting fantasy stuff, some of you might know me as sexy beast on other forums. With the release of the daemon codex I've been giving 40K a look, and have bought a box of chaos space marines to get into 40K. I've decided on the Purge, I like the idea of puss and boils free Nurgle, but with lots of weathering and my own twist. This mini let me experiment with some tutorials from Allan C, Cyril and Kaple, and I have to say painting this mini was the most fun of all minis I've painted last year. So here's the pic(s): http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/Sexyspaintshed/40K/S6000572.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/Sexyspaintshed/40K/S6000581.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/Sexyspaintshed/40K/S6000576.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/Sexyspaintshed/40K/S6000583.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 He looks great, weathered and mean. Is there any chance we could get a closeup of the head? the 'skinwork' there is simply fantastic :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskie Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I think you did a good job on your first Nurgle Chaos Space Marine, now you just need to paint 50 more. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha PTP Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Fantastic plague marine. How did you do that flesh tone? I really like how it turned out. Alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#13 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks for the compliments and the welcome guys. Brother Nihm, I'll take some extra pics of the head next time I've got a marine finished. Khrangar, great to see a familiar face from the Herdstone. Muskie, I think I'll start with 14 and then see from there. :huh: Alpha PTP, the skin tone is dwarf flesh with a (really small) drop of dark angels green. Highlighted by adding bleached bone, shaded with glazes of a shadow grey/blood red mix. The veins are Shadow gey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Muskie, I think I'll start with 14 and then see from there. :) 49 would be a more Nurglistic goal, 7 squads of seven or 5 squads of seven plus one of 14 if you insisted on all of them being "Plaguemarines" rather than Nurgle renegades. I've lost track of how many I've painted, but I've stripped and repainted some, which does save you the cost of buying new models, but it sets you back in the long term because your total army count goes down...

Raziellycas Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Really well done! I love this head, cool skin and veins... you have to make a tutorial... the whole model is cool well weathered.. my only disappoint is about the bones, maybe a bit of weathering to add some deeps could be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Cadaver_ Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Excellent work! I love the chipped armor and little touches throughout. Can't wait to see more! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 My internet is being slow, but the second I saw the skull on the banner pole I knew it was gonna be a great model. Turns out I was right. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain maximus Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 go sexy beast! i want to see more of the purge, as your painting is AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Yup, preeeetty damn awesome :) Really nice to see someone go a different route over the traditional Nurgle approach. Looking forward to the head close-ups, I hadn't noticed before (tsk tsk to me and my eye for detail) but when it was pointed out I had a closer look, and damn, it looks superb!

ImperialTemplari Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hey 13, if this is the test figure, then I think you passed, paint the rest like this and you will have a good looking army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psythu Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Very nice! The chips and scratches on the green sections of armour are beautifully done, as is the head. I think the black parts of the model let it down considerably though - the elbow guard and gauntlet look like they've been done in a real hurry. If you re-highlight those parts with as much precision as you've highlighted all those little chips, it'll be one stunning model :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
