Ufthak Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hi all. Right, here are a couple of pics of my brother's Death Guard. We both LOVE Nurgle, and I think he's done a good job on the Marines so far. Unfortunately the pics turned out rather bad, plus the flash makes some of the colours look strange. Hope the general look isn't ruined. By the way, one of the Marines has Pre Heresy shoulderpads (Green and what once used to be white), plus another has a hand-sculpted Nurgling on his power pack, which I think turned out great. Looking forward to hearing comments :) --Ufthak-- Finally!!! What do you need to do these days just to post a couple of photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 The colouring is - for the most part - pretty smooth, and the trim contrasts well, without being too shiny. The medium-green spot colour works well too! Overall, easily tabletop standard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djkest Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I really like the coloring. I like the theme of having different shades of brown instead of the usual green- makes them unique. Also painted well to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlagueBearer Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 They look nice!In a Nurgley way!:D I like the brown color selection and I especially love the nurgling!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Not bad. Will there be more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes, I guess that there'll be more...at some stage in the near or far future. Unfortunately, my brother's a slow painter - it took him about half a year just to do these seven dudes, and over a week to do the Nurgling. Should there be more, I'll post, of course :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Updatey! Like I said, he's really good. Especially his Green Stuff skills have become amazing :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Another Update! My bro decided to paint the Lord immediately, and here are the amazing results :ermm: May I note that this Lord was done from the Chaos Lord sprue, plus a Chaos Warrior helemt and termie spikes. I guess he is 30-40% Green Stuff :wub: He's not entirely finished; the weapon needs painting, and the base hasn't been made yet. My brother's planning on using the standard base, nurglifying it, then adding a Nurgling as the Lord's pet. Anyways, here's the pics. My brother would like to hear some comments, in order to find any mistakes he's made and to improve (!) his skills. So we'd really like your opinions :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberious Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I actualy feel ill looking at that Terminator lord, great job on all so far. Would love to play against it just to destroy that abomination. Look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Amarel Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think they're pretty amazing. Lots of great green stuff work, brilliant colour choices and just a ton of character. What colours are being used for the shoulder pads? I've got a few nurgle marines upcoming and would like to pinch :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nias Wolf Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 As I like to say to new Nurgle players: "You make me sick!" If you want a suggestion, I would add a little bit more to the lord's head. I think that you were going for the simple, almost bald look, but it needs a little something. A few coats of brown was could do the trick (maybe pouring of of the face?). Or you could model a nurgle symbol on the forehead. Then again, it looks REALLY amazing the way it is. I especially like the pose of the marine with the chainsword!

High Marshal Sigfeird Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 The colour scheme is so death guard and my god the green stuff is amazing so much these are amazing models love to give this a try myself sometime but ace work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain morgan Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Nice work,especially on the lord.on the marine with the gas mask,did you take that from a steel legion sprue or did it come with the model? pardon if it's a stupid question,not familiar with csm but planning on building a nurgle army one of these days. Edit:silly me,just looked it up :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Thanx for the comments guys! @Eberious: When I saw the Lord I told my brother much the same thing: "Looking at the belly and shoulder pad of your Lord makes me wanna throw up..." My brother's answer was: "Good. That's the point." :o @Brother Amarel: Thanks :) The shoulder pads on most of the marines were done the same colours as the rest of the marine - a mixture of greens, browns and greys (Codex Grey, Bubonic Brown, Catachan Green, Snakebite Leather to name but a few), but I can't tell you the mixture rato since it's different with every marine - my brother just does it by feeling. A couple of marines (including the Lord) are sporting ancient Pre-Horus-Heresy green-and-white shoulder pads; the white was mostly done using a basecoat of some dull brown (for example graveyard earth) and then highlighting to bleached bone, with maybe a tiny pinch of skull white added to the mixture of the last layer. The Green is, mostly, Catachan Green, with diverse other greys and browns added to get that dull look. @Nias Wolf: That was my first criticism of the model too: the helmet's too clean and too bare. My suggestion was to add three tiny red dots on the forehead forming the symbol of Nurgle. But after a short while we both concluded that the helmet looks really good as it is, since it is an interesting contrast to the rest of the completely corroded and rotted model. We'll see, maybe my brother'll change his mind...the Lord isn't 100% finished yet anyways. @Captain Morgan: The "Gas-mask" marine is a standard Plague marine from the plague marine box. But the idea of using Steel Legion (or other Gas-masked heads) is a good one :) Although, logically, it would be pretty senseless for the Death Guard to be wearing Gas masks, since they ARE disease incorporated, and thereby don't need the masks. But then, Gas masks always look cool ;) Thanks for the comments guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Impressive. I can just imagine crusts of filth flying off that lord as you shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hello! Another small update: Firstly, my brother now has joined Bolter and Chainsword as Danji90. Secondly, he's been working his Lord a bit. Here's a couple o pics of the base; so far it features an unfinished Nurgling with fly head sitting in some wort of goo, a small (unfinished) rock, and a dead mutilated lackey of the false Emperor. He still can't decide whether to let the lackey be a Black Templar (in order to insult his best friend's Templar Army) or an Ultrasmurf (coz he HATES them). Whatcha think? Bear in mind that so far it's all unfinished and will look a bit different when it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ufthak Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hey folks. Finally got round to making photos of the completed Nurgle Lord and a further marine: The finished Lord: Details of the dead UltraSmurf: Base details, note the Nurgling: Further Plague Marine with mutated arm: Detail of the right shoulder pad: Whaddaya think? There's more marines on the way, with FW Death Guard termies and a dread, but I guess they'll take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ufthak Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Further marine: By the way, this Death Guard army you see here performed sickly admirably in a 4,000-point game today, as part of a larger force of heretics. They only lost 3 marines in the entire game, one of which kiled himself with the plasma gun (idiot, didn't deserve to serve the Plague God anyway). all the while they battled black templar tactical and scout squads, and the Chaos Lord (used as a sorcerer) took apart the Emperor's Champion. Another marine with flamer's coming along, and after that one the Forge World Death Guard Termies will be taken on. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 That is... beautifully sick. Your lord does make me feel sick, especially the shoulderpad: a good thing! Most Death Guard models are too clean, whereas your brother made it neat and dirty :lol: I like the marine you showed under the lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Some really great work in this thread, very inspirational as I'm comverting some Death Guard at the moment. Looking forward to seeing some more! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Everything looks awsome very nurgly and gross and the color choices are unique but still in the whole nurgle/DG look, 1 tip I have for your brother is when using guitar string make mutiple small bends to avoid the outer part from splitting.

Ufthak Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanx for the comments guys! Always really appreciate it! ;) @Capt. Lysander: Hail, fellow Son of Dorn! I also do Imperial Fists (Linky) ;) Yes, the models are hideously filthy and sick, particularly that rather obscene shoulder pad. I perosnally like it, but I do also like rather plain Plague marines with less rot and more cracked armour, for example. Hoping my brother'll also do some of those :) @firestorm40k: Thanx :) Good luck with your Death Guard! Hey, why not drop by a link when you've got some pics? Would be intrigued... @LuNCHBIZZLe: Thanx for your advice with the guitar string ;) Anyways, small update - the WIP plague marine with flamer, so far with only the first three layers of paint on the armour done: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
