Tristan Hoag Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Inspired by an Apocalypse competition at the Papanurgle forums, I finally got started on my plaguereaper - here are some of the initial WIP pics: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4362571902_2d2ce7e795_o.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4362572308_62b6e6458e_o.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4362572780_a9787e84eb_o.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4024/4361829327_d5d81326ce_o.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4001/4361829805_07b8bcdbff_o.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/4362574166_10ceb5292c_o.jpg I still need to add a bunch of green stuff work, a handful of nurglings, and fill the open tanks on the sides with nastiness.....

Monstra Sumus Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 That is superb work and I think the 'adeptus battlegrey' of the armour is a much more fitting scheme than sick green. Makes me think the paint sloughed off down to the bare metal/ceramics of the power armour over time due to the pus and viscous acidic liquids that pop and spurt across the Plague Marines. Im eagerly awaiting the Plaguereaper fella, good luck with it all and I think this is the first Nurgle army I actually like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Tristan, can't wait to see that huge tank made all nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashia the lurker Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I really like what you have accomplished, there is just one small detail I'd like to point out.. They don't look gooey at all, maybe It's the idea of it. But I've always imagined Plague marines to be really wet and dirty. Like: The cleaved or Death Guard http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/...amp;aId=1100022 Maybe wash em down (not entirely) with Flesh wash and some Green Ink (if ya have it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to wait for it to be warm enough to go outside and spray anything! Thanks for the feedback! Tristan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have to ask, what did you use to convert the plaguereaper? Those pipes and tanks are astounding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Hoag Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 I have to ask, what did you use to convert the plaguereaper?

Brother Dallo Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I really like your marines... just one minor detail. Is the hull mounted h. bolter on the plague reaper not upsidedown? Or am I just blind. Dallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes it much better for larger projects! Thanks for the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to run a backbone down the connection to the bike, and I need to cover up the seat of the bike with biomechanica-type growths and such. I want lots of vents and hoses, etc. on the model too.

IronDuke Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Interesting biker...normally I would be sighing at seeing such a whacked out model, but after watching what you are capable of with green stuff on your plague reaper I am really looking forward to what you produce!
