Kr00zA Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Had this Great Unclean One demon laying around and have decided to give it some work. Seeings how the new FW model makes the GW one look a bit weedy I thought Id convert it into a Demon Prince of Nurgle. Ive dropped the legs in favour of a Jabba The Hut style slug body. This adds plenty of extra mass to the body and a lot more surface area to add grotesque detail to. The rest of the conversion takes its inspiration from the FW Demon Prince model with a toxic drum on his back feeding a plague cannon protruding from his arm. His head will be covered with a hood similar to the smaller guy standing next to the FW Demon Prince. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i147/DaSpeedFreak/Nurgle1.jpg After a bit more work he's looking like this.... http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i147/DaSpeedFreak/Nurgle4.jpg Sorry if this isnt the right sub forum for chaos stuff...

Kr00zA Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Ive added some texture to the hood. Still needs to be smoothed off a bit more. Ive used the long tongue from the kit as an extra pipe.. with more flesh added to the cannon. So now he's looking like this... http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i147/DaSpeedFreak/Nurgle5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kr00zA Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 More work done... at the 'almost finished' stage now. Ive smoothed off some of the rougher edges.. added a bit more detail here and there. His plague sword has been textured with sand and then given a good rub down with a dremel sanding wheel to smooth off the graininess. Giving a good surface to add a slimey/rusty paintjob too. The base depicts how he leaves a trail of plague ridden rot wherever he goes, with strange nurgley fungus sprouting from the ground around him. To add the the effect the sand has also been applied to the edges of the base so it appears to be oozing down the sides. Even surfaces like gravel turn slimey amd putrid in his presence. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i147/DaSpeedFreak/Nurgle6a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kr00zA Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Thanks. I must admit Im pretty chuffed with it myself. And my erg to sculpt has been truly satisfied... for the time being. I really went to town on the plague sword as the original looks far too ornate and clean. Not... as its supposed to be... a sword dipped in the pus at the foot of Nurgle's throne. The tentacled fungus was fun to do. To add a bit of interaction between base and model one of the tentacles is reaching up and pulling on a bit of his loose flesh. Not sure if its that clear in the last pic, but the folds in the hood form three arrows protruding from the three circles. The supaglue/sand corrosion method is quite effective and easy to do. Very hard wearing too... much more so than the more usual baking soda/ PVA method. Its best to add the sand in very small amounts onto a dry surface, move it about into the right position, and then carefully plop a tiny drop of supa glue onto it. Needs to be the ultra thin type of glue not the thick kind. I just need to neaten up some of the rough edges and smooth off the hood folds a bit more... which can easily be done by adding water to some milliput to make it pastey and rubbing it on with a wet cotton bud Id give the GW Great Unclean One a big thumbs up. At £35 it's certainly not cheap... but what GW product is? And in relative terms you get a lot for your money. The model has some super detail to it and its a fair ole chunk of metal. Fits together with not problems apart from the two sections of chain 'which I swapped in favour of a Cannon' which are pretty fiddly. Now I just need to find someone up to the challenge of painting this thing up to the same or better standard than the sculpt :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallvictory Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Well done man! I was a little skepticle when I saw the first post but the devil is in the details. The interaction with the base and the model has to be my favorite part of the model. I find it hard to believe you have to find someone to paint this for you, anybody that has the skill to push and mold greenstuff like that can push a little paint if they put their mind to it.

Solid Zaku Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Bo Chooda! Nice work. I've always thought Nurglic stuff should be more...sluggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kr00zA Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Added some new additions before I box him up ready to send to Quase... Decided I would add a single horn to his head and Ive reworked the folds in the shroud some more, adding more depth. I imagine the shroud to be a dynamic piece that heaves and swirls of its own accord. The swirling folds move across the shroud forming jolly nurgley faces and other such things as they go. Putrid boils erupting through the outer layer before slowly sinking away, like bubbles in a volcanic mud pool. To emphasize the fluid nature of the shroud I've wrapped it around the horn and fashioned the swirling folds into a deep eye socket. I think this added the character to the face that seemed to be missing before. Depicting something that has the properties of both a solid material such as leathery flesh and fluidness of thick mud is tricky. But I think thats the thing that makes Chaos interesting. I imagine a lot of chaos things defy all known logic and impossible for the human mind to comprehend. The ora surrounding a Blood Thirster as it charges the air around it with pure rage for example. Or the accelerated decay of a Great Unclean One's flesh, which by all logic should mean it rots away to nothing within minuets, yet it doesnt, and nor does it grow fresh flesh to replace the old. Things thats can be wittnessed by the human eye but never truly comprehended. Sadly, modelling such things fully is impossible. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i147/DaSpeedFreak/Nurgle-done.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Hiltraud Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Looks grotesquely good, can't wait to see him painted up! I particually like the little blurb you had about chaos on the last post {with the pics} above; That is exactly how I too think of chaos - surreal acidic formless entities defying the very laws of existence - and very hard to depict... :P Chaplain Hiltraud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
