blindman Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 They look great, I love the defiler. One question, is it built from scratch? Where have you picked the parts from?

aeroplane Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 The Defiler is built from a huge pile of metal Bitz, I got it back when GW still had a bitz service, and back then it cost $100+ Today, if you were to buy all the various kits to steal the necessary parts from it would be mind-bogglingly expensive. And some of the models that these parts were from are now gone.

blindman Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi, I'm sorry but I'm not natural english speaker. I wasn't asking where you bought the parts, but I was asking which model the parts belong.

PlagueBearer Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Those Vindies look heavy!!! The metal colors have come out excellent and the rust is cool!!!

Lord Rao Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Love the way you've merged those pink suckers/pipes/whatever with the exhausts on your Vindi's. Ima steal that one, it rly is good! An excellent example of how just a small bit of conversion/GS work can completely change and Nurglify a model. Ace m8.

aeroplane Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 These last few guys mark a great point for me, as with them I have my 1750 list totally and completely WYSIWYG. (as long as you don't mind having a Narthecium or Servo arm count as a Powerfist...) I hope to get out to the Local Game Store and take a couple of good pictures of the entire army. They will be posted as soon as I have it! http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/dps1.jpg The banner is still wip... http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/dps2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173317-death-guard-army-the-antares-malestrom/page/2/#findComment-2113904 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudyHuxtable Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 You know, these are excellent! I like that they kind of split the difference between being incredibly nastified and overly converted and having enough custom work to make them stand out. Very inspiring, to be honest. I was looking to do something like this, so I'm going to draw from your work!

aeroplane Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Ha! I thought I was done... My-oh-my, was I wrong!! In fit of weakness I decided that there should be a few additions... SO, sitting in the queue are; Land Raider (actually, it will probably be two...) FW Renegade Ogryn berzerker (to be used as summoned Greater Daemon or foot Prince) Krieger 'Krash' Thrax from the Inquisitor range (also to be used as a Greater Daemon or foot Prince) FW Death Guard upgrade (to make 10 more troops) 10 Crypt Ghouls to be used as summoned lesser daemons Another rhino, because I purchased a set of FW death guard doors... Luckily, I have made a bit of progress, and the Lesser Daemons are coming along nicely... http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF2823.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF2822.jpg Still WIP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173317-death-guard-army-the-antares-malestrom/page/2/#findComment-2205672 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurglephill Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Awesome looking army! If i where to offer one bit of CC it would be to file/drill out the lesser daemons so they have one eye socket. Its really easy to drill out the seperating lpastic and then add a tiny blob of GS in the middle to give them an eye. Lovely work though ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173317-death-guard-army-the-antares-malestrom/page/2/#findComment-2213251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevendaemons Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I'm jealous of the whole army. I'm especially jealous of the very bloated scultping you did on the rhinos. Its so filthy looking. :D well played sir.

aeroplane Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 I have had a bunch of other projects get in the way of this army... But I have no good excuse anymore, and too many cool models to complete! The Lesser Daemons are almost complete, I only need to finish basing them. The FW renegade Ogryn (to be used as Greater Daemon) is assembled. Gawd, is it a nice model. I have a FW Plague Hulk also... :) Looking around my various boxes, I have found a stash of Death Guard metal bits, enough to make at least 5 more guys. My metal Obliterators are completely assembled. (What a horrible model) They will be DG as well. Photos tomorrow.

These models suck. Suck monkey bawls. They smell like a huge dungheap. And I consider myself good at assembling metal models! Still, when they are complete, they look pretty cool. But the models are still junk. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3039.jpg Somebody one one of the forums wanted to see a close-up of the Lightning claws. Nothing fancy - just arms from the Possessed sprue, Hormagaunt talons, and a little greenstuff.

aeroplane Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) A few more WIP updates... http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3042.jpg They are starting to look pretty good! http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3043.jpg Not sure I want to spray this model, I don't want to loose any detail... I got a Soul Grinder to convert into another defiler-thingy when I do the Plague Hulk. I have seen some neat conversions, I'm going to give it a go, although I'm not exactly sure what I am going to do yet. I'll think of something... ;) 46/2844 Edited May 24, 2010 by aeroplane Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173317-death-guard-army-the-antares-malestrom/page/2/#findComment-2410876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroplane Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Here ya go, a quick update - - I finished the Obliterators. A quick n' dirty paintjob, I never much cared for the models, and just painted them to match the rest of the force as smoothly as possible. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/P6068811.jpg And here are the 'hero' shots of the Terminators. I cant begin to say how much I like the FW upgrade. They look awesome! http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/P6068812.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/P6068813.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/P6068815.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/P6068816.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/P6068817.jpg 47/3069 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/173317-death-guard-army-the-antares-malestrom/page/2/#findComment-2426124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar_of_Nurgle Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Too bad you didnt build that defiler. You bought it off of ebay. Your the guy that out bid me on that auction. I saved the pic's of it before you retouched it up.
