albinoork Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hi all, The first army I started playing 40k with were Space Wolves. As a way to taunt me one of my buddies started calling them "The sons of pus" (he named his army the Sin Eaters, so you can imagine what I called them). So after awhile I decided it was time to start a Chaos army. I needed a break from power armor armies and painted a Tau than Eldar army, so after about four years I broke out the Chaos stuff and started the real "Sons of Pus". I put a list together based on what if some members of the thirteenth great company succumbed to the lure of Papa Nurgle. I started with the lone surving Iron Priest, who contracted the Obliterator virus. here is the next unit (seven models). They were originally plaguebearers, but after the release of codex chaos space yawn they have been downgraded to lesser summoned demons. I gave them wolfish heads and axes (like proper space wolves should). the only thing left is to add a water effect. I am currently testing different methods to achieve a murky, slightly green, slime like effect that will just cover the skulls on the base while hopefully still being able to see them. any comments, ideas, critiques are encouraged. thanks and take care edit for posting pics issues, mainly I am idiot Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159243-sons-of-pus-when-space-wolves-go-bad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther - the fallen Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think you should have kept your wolves in the fridge or something 'cause that looks nasty.. in a good way. love the use of wolves heads, and the painting looks good from what I can see (I'm on a 8" screen, so the pic's are a little bit small), but keep up the good work.

albinoork Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi all, Thanks for the comments. here are pics of the latest marines to be painted. I have given up on a water effect for the bases. after twenty or so test bases and zero acceptable results it is time to move on. I could use some ideas/ suggestions regarding the pustules. The fleshy-ish growths are overpowering and I would like the pustules to stand out a bit more without dominating the model. thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159243-sons-of-pus-when-space-wolves-go-bad/#findComment-1874282 Share on other sites More sharing options...

albinoork Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 awesome !!really sweet have you tried pva with a bit of green ink mixed in for the " murky, slightly green, slime" ? D'oh!!! Ugh, well this is why I ask for assistance. I had forgotten that method. I had been using Woodland scenics water effects (the thicker version) without success. time for a few more test bases. Thanks for the idea and compliment. take care Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159243-sons-of-pus-when-space-wolves-go-bad/#findComment-1879253 Share on other sites More sharing options...

albinoork Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi all, I have finished a couple more marines. The icon of nurgle/ squad banner and the champion (only three more to go :P ) Barry, I tried your method, however for this army I can't make it work. I like the look of the slime it is just to green and opaque for what I was tryign to achieve. thanks and please send ideas my way :D any thoughts, ideas, suggestions are appreciated thanks and take care Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159243-sons-of-pus-when-space-wolves-go-bad/#findComment-1892453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
