darthgus Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Turning an old Hasslefree Miniatures Ogre into a Plague Champion for my Nurgle Army. I wanted something that would look unique, and it will when I'm done. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sh_4WpxvsiI/TSZhWWu5wNI/AAAAAAAAALQ/WGU2YOEN7Ls/s1600/smoger1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218823-plague-champion-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 That has a lot of potential to look amazing when he is done, if you can pull off a good power armor effect.

darthgus Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 At the moment I'm in two minds as to how to arm the model... 1) counts as Abbadon... with a sword and power claw 2) counts as Typhus... with a scyth 3) as something else... suggestions very welcome.

S. Bloodhowl Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Looks great so far man, whatever you do though he need a horn and something covering one eye, just as Father Nurgle intended :mellow: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218823-plague-champion-wip/#findComment-2609699 Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgus Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Just to give my Plague Champion some sort of context, here are a couple of pics of the force he will be joining... I plan to add another 3 plague marine squads very soon. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Sh_4WpxvsiI/TPvdHnMLXfI/AAAAAAAAAJY/pIO-09fDzqU/s1600/plaguemarines_01.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Sh_4WpxvsiI/TPvgdOfiEnI/AAAAAAAAAJg/ytsGr2bVa6A/s1600/landraider_01.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218823-plague-champion-wip/#findComment-2610023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 how about as abbadon? typhus needs to be a sweet termie. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218823-plague-champion-wip/#findComment-2610158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgus Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah I'm thinking Abbadon. I was thinking of giving him a sword like a great big cleaver and i saw an articulated power claw that some one had built, which i think would be an interesting project to attempt.

carnosaur93 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 abbadon is a termie, too... i would say typhus though, or perhaps a DP with MoN and nurgle's rot? (depending on the size of him) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218823-plague-champion-wip/#findComment-2610758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgus Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 He should stand head and shoulders above a regular SM. He's big but not silly big. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218823-plague-champion-wip/#findComment-2610837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnosaur93 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 ahh, yeah. then a DP would not be very fitting i guess... how about you throw a rusty cleaver like axe and a plaz-pistol on him and call him Khârn? afterall h'es not in termie armor, and he DOES loke quite angry :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218823-plague-champion-wip/#findComment-2610842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiningstorm101 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 looking forward to this, you should definatly mutate a single horn and an insane tongue. from what you have said he is about the size of a really big termy, so maybe a character is better than a daemon prince, but i suppose if you base him correctly then it doesn't matter Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218823-plague-champion-wip/#findComment-2611410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Ahh shucks this looks like a really cool project. I can't wait to see some more progress!

Hashshashin Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 if he's a bit bigger then a termie you can always 'counts as' a character, either termie or power army, but I feel like if he's not big enough making DP might be a stretch. Depends on the physical size of the model IMHO. But really he's a big crazy looking monster in armour he could basically fill many roles but your chose of bases will limit that.

darthgus Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 A small update, been working on the lower leg. The next step is to skin over the green armature on the lower leg to built up the final form of the armour. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Sh_4WpxvsiI/TSty2LdeKCI/AAAAAAAAALY/ywEd0U-oMPg/s1600/smoger2.jpg I'm leaning towards making him a 'counts as' Typhus, mainly because of the army he is going in to.

GooseDaMoose Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 OoooOoooh mama he's lookin' good! I like the details like the skulls and stuff. Can't wait for more! One question though, how do you get greenstuff to stick to dried greenstuff? I've never really managed it very well..

darthgus Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 I've never really had a problem getting gs to stick over gs... a bit of pressure is all thats required. Once it all hardens it stays together just fine. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218823-plague-champion-wip/#findComment-2617948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgus Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 The only thing I can think of is that the constancy of GS changed as it cures. let it sit for 5-10 min before you start to work it.
