Captain Malachi Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I've been thinking of using a mordor/isengard troll from the LotR range with some wings for my deamon prince of nurgle, what do you guys think? And also, how do you paint rotted/rusted armour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Malachi Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Thanks mate, I'll definately be looking through that. Â Edit- Just finished reading it, and it definately helped on the modelling side, but I really need to know how to paint rotted armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blamb Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 For rotten armour, Ugly it up a bit with some green stuff then paintit camo green with green and brown washes. Or for rusty armour paint it bolt gun metal, cover it in brown ink (not thinned) and then put salt on it before it drys. Leave it for a few hours to dry and brush all the salt off the metal and it comes up nice and rusty like below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sword brethren Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 you should go to the bitz section section and get some of the daemonic limbs and have them along the spine or something (thats if they are on the new website) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 It's a good idea, but not the look I want for my Nurgle prince, I'll keep it in mind for my Tzeentch prince though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Malachi Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 It's good, but I think the wings are a bit oversized, makes it look small somehow, would probably look a lot better with a scale reference, looks like the wings are something I'm going to have to make sure I get right.

Â True, the wings are a bit oversized. I plan to make some on my own but I am not sure how. Maybe some strong wire maybe from a clothes hanger as a frame and some fabric on it.

Captain Malachi Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 See I'm just cheating and using a bigger base model lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tiger Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 the only problem would be using the LotR's troll idea in a 40k force in a GW, due to clashing IP laws, or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I don't play in the store so that's ok, and I'm not a good enough painter to be winning any competitions, so no problem there either lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Malachi Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 I thought so lol, although the players down here aren't all that bad, thing is it's about an hour to the store, and I'm just too lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor_Fox Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 so doing this for my second nurgle daemon prince... i have a converted marine one with wings... but i think the wings on the pic above are about right... you have to take into account the angle of the shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 True, but you also have to take into account where people see it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I`m actually getting one tomorrow, and there are two things I need to know: 1. Can daemon princes in fantasy have a shield? 2. How tall is the troll? A quick reply would be appreciated. Also, is what I`m asking against B&C rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I've been thinking of using a mordor/isengard troll from the LotR range with some wings for my deamon prince of nurgle, what do you guys think? And also, how do you paint rotted/rusted armour?Check out this rust tutorial Also, is what I`m asking against B&C rules?Your purpose is to convert up a wh40k DP using a WHFB troll right? then you're good. If you're in doubt in the future (and really can't find an answer under the rules section), try PM'ing a mod as it is usually faster. We (sadly) don't have time to read each and every thread, I merely happened upon this one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
