Danny Cyanide Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hey guys, Well, I decided that I'm going to go Nurgle, and Death Guard to be more specific. I just started collecting again, and haven't played a game since third edition, when I played Loyalists. I bought a CSM Battleforce, and began painting a Black Legion army, but I have given in to Papa Nurgle. Here are my first 5 Plague Marines... 1: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dg1.jpg His head: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dg8.jpg 2: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dg2.jpg his head: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dg7.jpg 3: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dg3.jpg 4: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dg4.jpg Champ: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dg5.jpg Champs head: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dg6.jpg Credit for the Champs head goes to Brother Styphus on the boards here. His idea was great, and I had to try it my self. Thanks for looking. Steff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Richard Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Well big kudos go out to both you and Brother Styphus... that champs head is absolutely awesome. Great job. The critique I have is on number 3, either make them tenticales reaching out or ... I don't know. I just looks like a prego marine. Fatboy number 2 is good, but number 3 just looks off.

Tyranidman Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 They are very good. I suggest you make the tentecles a bit smaller in CSM number 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 how'd you make the champ's head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Tyranid man: I'll see what I can do about shortening the tentacle on number 4! Terminatorinhell: THe head is a regular CSM helmet that I cut the left side off of. After cutting off the eye area, I had to hollow the helmet out with my knife and pin vice. I had to hollow it out from both the side and bottom. Once I had it hollowed out, I took a Catachan head, cut it to fit inside the helmet, and then rammed it inside. It's not all that tough, just time consuming. Anyways, I got their backpacks finished, so here they are: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgbp1.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgbp2.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgbp3.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgbp4.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgbp5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Styphus Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 *sniffle* You sir have made my day. Yeah, it is pretty time consuming isn't it? Thank you for giving me credit, and taking the idea and making it look great. :wacko: You rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I love the backpack throwing a fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Glad you guys dig! I got one painted up as a color test, and I'm pretty happy with the results. Let me know what you guys think! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgpaint1.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgpaint2.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgpaint4.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgpaint5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Weaver Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Those look great! I too love the champ's helm! How long did you work on these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 I've probably got about 10 hours into them so far. That's these 5 GS'd, 7 metal Plague Marines augmented with a little GS, and that one painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethebear Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 wow the only thing i think might need some work is the trim,you might wanna ink it up cause it looks a little too clean for Nurgle.l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Good idea Dave. I just added a thinned out layer of chestnut ink, and the metal trim looks much better! Also, I painted up the champ today. I'm happy with him, save for the face, but I haven't painted a face in about 5 years (must paint more helmet less guys for practice) http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgpaint6.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgpaint7.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgpaint8.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgpaint9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid Smurf Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 your pre-paint photos made me think that they looked like any other Plague Marine set, but after they were painted they really popped! Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Andrecus Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Lol, the Champions backpack looks like a guy in one of those Russian hats, you know? The tall furry ones? Sorry, off topic... These are really great for a first time Greenstuff job! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navigator Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Wow, they look great, 2 minor points tho. The painting seems very clean for PM's, maybe a wash wouldnt hurt, and finally that tentacle, just does seem right. Good work :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
