nurglephill Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 hi all, this is my first every attempt to convert anything really, and certainly my first with the old GS. let me start by thanking all those (like Cadaver!) who have inspired me to give this a try. ok so the rhino with the big giant stuck on....meant to be possessed. the rhino with the IMP GRD counts as extra armour. (the idea being nurgle gifted the rhino a protective slime that has to be 'fed' to keep it alive/working...so you get the upgrade but only if you keep up the good work.....which seems all very nurgle like) please do let me know your thoughts etc. many thanks http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0465.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0469.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0466.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0474.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0472.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0471.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0583.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0582.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0581.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0579.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0578.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0577.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0576.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0575.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeffWolf Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 i really like the way you've added ideas to already existing models to create a superb new look. congrats. however i do think that on the rhino especially there should be bits of armour left to show it's a rhino. and on the models instead of a uniform belly hanging out and mutated heads perhaps make the bellies look more natural and part of the model and have like entrails bursting forth for ultimate nurgle essence. well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Wow! some really creative stuff there fellow Nurglite! I especially like the terminators and the RT beaky heads modified with pipe, very clever idea!! What kind of colour scheme we going for on these? can't wait to see 'em painted!!

nurglephill Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 wow, firstly thank you all for your kind words. secondly....you sure you want me to paint them? geesh. ;) the reason they havent been painted yet is simply because i like to get them all modelled first as this gives me the time to work out how i want them to look. i have decided on a white base coat (already done at time of writing!) dark green (ork hide) armour trim, red/rusty weapons. then plenty of black, some brown and plenty of green wash all over, followed by a watered down skull white 'stripey' build up. i am painting up one as i type and as soon as im happy with the look i shall crack on with the rest. shouldnt actually take that long.....i think. i will post my test mini just to get some other thoughts/suggestions. im still a bit out of my depth with painting anything that isnt a) blue and :rolleyes: very flippin' neat! i want to get them done soon as i have some FW stuff on order ofr october time and im itching to actually USE them! again many thanks phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglephill Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 ok so here is my paint scheme i have used the marine i am least happy with as a test piece, please let me know your thoughts. i want to make sure i get this right before i crack on with all the others! the bolter is red, but im wondering if i can get away with a tin bitz based rusty look to speed up the process...? as ever, many thanks for taking the time phill http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0633.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0631.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0630.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0628.jpg http://i332.photobucket.com/albums/m359/nurglephill/WIP%20death%20guard/DSCF0627.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priad Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 The chaos lord conversion reminds me of a tree. =\ But the rhino is sickly good. I don't believe that you've never converted or used gs before. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetfireUK Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 They look disgusting! I really like the look of your terminators and how there's a similarity between them and Typhus. Considering this is your first attempt at GSing - you should be very proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglephill Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 red x should be fixed now......yes? :) im really looking forward to your thoughts...its all very christmas eve....or something. phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Red X is indeed fixed! Lovely lovely lovely! very ghoulish and blated. Wonderful colour scheme, how will this transfer to the vehicles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglephill Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 ahh nurglespuss, thats a good question. i shall do the same on the vehicle armour as the marine armour. but there isnt much of that to see. just a lot of green stuff. the trouble im having now is what colour to paint the gooey, puss bassed filth on the vehicles and a few marines. purple...green....red? no idea. anyone got a view....some tips....i would be gratefull! phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Purple, bright sickly purple. And lots of gloss varnish. :) Either that or yellow CAN work but I'd go with purple personally. As the main colour anyway, you can add over brightly coloured fluids leaking out of it, Nurgle has a varity of oozes. Looking awesome so far, can't wait to see more!. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Yes I agree purple, it would contrast very well with the current light scheme. Liche purple highlighted up to tentacle ink, and washed back down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 So green and purple with little tiny lines eh? Now where have I seen that before? :-) You have no idea how much flack I've taken over the years painting purple plaguemarines. The last laugh is on them. "If the fool were to persist in his folly, he would become wise." If you want a really dark purple use some Nauseating blue in there with the warlock purple. You can also use grey with purple to get that pale color. A pale blue also works for Nurgle. http://www.muschamp.ca/OffSite/chaosLordWithKaiGun.jpg I did up something of a tutorial on that guy. You can see some of the purples, greens, greys, and even blues I've used over the years. I've been working on an orange tinged flesh for a while. Good luck and just keep expirementing.

nurglephill Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 thanks muskie, im thinking about painting those rhinos......what im thinking is once the base coat of white is completely finished, if i paint the 'rot' a medium grey in the recesses, and a light grey between the recesses and the white.....and then use the purple wash..will that give me a decent look do you think? in my mind the 'rot' should look shaded in the right places and save me a lot of time. but i thought id ask first! phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
