maverike_prime Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 So I'm gonna add a unit of Plague Marines to my army, but I'm not exactly a fan of the GW kit for the Plaguies so I pulled out some bitz and built a prototype for a disease marked, decayed beyond reason marine. Thoughts? http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/plague_prototype-01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackblade68 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Liking it so far, how about some more angled shots? the more pics the more C&C! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 There's so much potential in Nurgle aesthetics beyond "fat and leaking", and I love seeing skilled modelers explore it :D This looks great, the pocked/dissolving armour being the main thing that stands out of course. I like the change from organs etc spilling from huge, sagging/distended bellies to just no flesh at all with the intestines hanging freely :) And while cloven feet are the norm, I like that you haven't gone for it here, more fitting for the theme you're going for I think. Nothing negative to say here thus far, I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Looks very good mate, have you just been doing a lot of drilling, or is there something more sinister afoot? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpudding427 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Very nice stuff. I like the use of zombie bits. Not enough living dead in 40k. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'm usually not a fan of plague marines, but this I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Looks good! I really like the zombie marine look. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Looks very good mate, have you just been doing a lot of drilling, or is there something more sinister afoot? :o it's a two step trick. Step 1: Drill lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of shallow holes. Different sizes too. -What I did was take my smallest drill bit and spent about 45 minutes just drilling all up and down the one side of the body. Then I took my larger bit and went back and picked out a few areas and punched in larger holes. Step 2: 'paint' a layer of plastic glue across the holes you drilled. The glue will slightly melt the plastic and give you the decayed look I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsmith Morenze Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I hope your opponents have their zombie plans ready, they're gonna need them. Seriously, though, it's a very good conversion, and an interesting take on a well-known model. I have to agree with the guy who said he preferred this to the Obese Marines available in store.

Solid Zaku Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 It's a great take on a kind of overdone model. My only nitpick is that the holes on the leg greaves are a little too symmetrical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverike_prime Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Since the prototype seems to work out well enough I'm going forward with the idea in building my Plaugies. Here's the next 3: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/trio-1.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/plague_marine_03-02.jpg Are those ruptured intestines, tentacles or something else? You be the judge. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/plague_marine_02-01.jpg This one I just went to town with the whole decay idea. I really wanted to make it look like the marine was decaying beyond all reason and that really it's just the power of the warp itself that still makes the marine a viable fighter. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/plague_marine_02-02.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/plague_marine_02-03.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a316/maverike_prime/Warhammer/plague_marine_04-01.jpg This one I donno what I was doing with it. I used the tentacle arm mainly because I had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! :) I meant to say the "glue will slightly melt the plastic" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
