WIP Nurgle lord, jump pack + daemon weapon

[7th Son]

just finished building the lord for my new force, its my first model in few years so could do with some comments and critism!

 

i wanted a gas masked head but not confident enough with my sculpting skills yet and didnt have one in my bits box! still, the zerker head will do as i plan on this being the only member of my army without a helmet...just to prove he's hardcore :lol:

 

let me know what you think!

Wow, nice one. Good work with the green-stuff, looks a million times better than my gs'ing attempts. Loving the overall look of the model, very aggressive :lol: my only criticism is that the left wrist looks miss-aligned with the gauntlet, but that may be down to the camera angle. All in all, bloody good job sir.

[rolloverbeethoven]

Love it. Such a dynamic and characterful mini.

 

Good stuff! :lol:

I dig the pose, looks like he is ready for action. Using that Khorne head and weilding a giant axe means you're going to have to sell the Nurgle feel to this guy with the paint job. Don't forget to fill the gaps on that loyalist jetpack, I hate dealing with those things, way too muck work.

[7th Son]

cheers guys ;)

 

i think im going to GS his head a bit..maybe try and make some sort of respirator/gas mask/cloth to cover his mouth and nose. will then hopefully look more nurglish and a bit more sinister, what do you think?

 

was also considering adding veins or something more fleshy to the jump pack. my modelling skills are a lot better than my painting at the moment and thats not saying much!

[cunvikted]

I agree, I think some nurgle-ness additions to the head will make it look better, or maybe a tentacle around the arm. Other than that, the model looks awesome, I really like the pose, what pieces did you use for the arm and weapon?

[smallvictory]

I would go with the old hose directly into the mouth leading down and then implanted into the belly look myself. Definatly add some veins/moldy growth to that pack too while your at it. Just the opinion of someone that models better than he paints too. Good luck.

[Inquisitor Engel]

Looks great - green stuff adds so much and the pose is excellent.

 

I was under the impression though that Death Guard weren't all about the jump packs... what with being held together with goo...

[7th Son]

thanks again guys.

 

Ive just finished working on the head and added some fleshy parts to the jump pack to cover up the gaps in the sides.

 

@cunvikted - i used a couple of standard marine arms mixed with a chaos warrior banner pole and axe hand. the axe head is from the chaos termi sprue, took a bit of effort to get them to stick but again the magic of green stuff helped to cover up and mistakes etc

let me know what you think! :(

I'd go a step further. Give him a mouth of tendrils. Or a tentacle beard. With the one it looks like he just has some stuff on his mouth.

[7th Son]

hmm, i see your point. im not a fan of tentacles though..theres just something not too threatening about them!

 

i might make it thicker though or try and add a gas mask canister to it

[cunvikted]

thanks for the info, I recognized the termie axe head, but that was it. The added GS on the jet pack looks alot "cleaner" (I know clean and nurgle don't mix, hence the quotes) a little more GS on the mouth is a good idea, but all in all, I think its coming out great

Loving the two-handed weapon, cool conversion, he's looking good so far! :(
