Nathaniel's Sons Of Gorgon Post Heresy Death Guard


Brother Melice

Recommended Posts

Excellent stuff Brother Melice, but a quick note on Captain Garro. Unless your model and artwork are post-Heresy, there wouldn't be an Inquisition yet, so there wouldn't be any =][= 's. I would completely understand if you wanted to keep it for the cool factor though :) .

Hail Brothers, I know that it has been ages since I posted any updates... but things were going a little crazy in real life.... but, here is the update, and proof that I'm still alive and kicking!

So, at some point this crazy idea hit me, I wanted to enter the Armies on parade contest that was started by GW, thankfully there is a GW store about 20min from me.

The contest rules are 1 HQ choise, at least two units.... and that's about it.

here is a link to the GW post about Armies on Parade

First I needed a theme, after a lot of thinking, gallons of coffee, and sleepless nights, I decided on a patrol theme... Talking to a Megamind of Ideas, my brother, he suggested, not exactly a patrol, but a pacification, sweep up Op.

Now the setting, was the next step.

again, more sleepless nights, the theme and setting was decided... SLUMS!!!

A force of marines sweeping through slums, and killing anything in their paths!

More than that, tanks running over buildings, assault marines jumping from roof to roof, speeders skimming over a suspended bridge and so forth.

this is what I have done so far, the force of marines, and the buildings themselves.

no to the pics.

I am sorry that the pics might be a little dark, but there are a lot of these so I did not spend the time to edit them.

some details of the buildings, there will be a lot of small details. like a pigeon coop, a roof garden, small things that will bring the story and the setting to life, it's the little things that matter the most, right???

I decided to go with ten Sturn Guard, one Tactical squad, an Assault Squad, a Chaplain with jump pack for HQ, and a number of tanks mauling through the slums.

That is so endlessly awesome..

 

Glad to see you around and kicking Brother, and glad that you like it....means a lot...

This is my excuse for not starting on the Garro conversion just yet, hope I'm off the hook.

NO YOU'RE NOT, the hook is adamantium alloy with a monomolecular selfspreading tip and even your amazing building modelling skills won't get you off.

so where is Garro? :eek

I have to echo GooseDaMoose in saying HOLY :cuss! Thats just to hold your guys for Armies on Parade? Amazing brother, amazing.

 

Thanks a bunch Mr. Mr.Malevolent, and yes, this is for the Armies on Parade contest)))) ;)

 

This. Is. AWESOME!

 

 

Thanks hushrong.

 

WOW that is going to be awesome. I cant wait to see it painted up and finished

 

I have started on the paint this evening, just one building, to see how everything work out... some graffiti here and there... :)

Hahahah!!!!!! Well I'm not saying I won't build him, but not right now, I have three days to finish the board, and still have to finish the main part, the army itself. Garro is waiting for the right moment B)

11 days to go!!! I'm going into my panic mode, cuz, the board is not done! and the Army is still raw!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!

 

any one have an air brush?????????????? can I borrow for a couple of days????

 

 

but any way, I did a couple of craters with the green crystals, and I love how they look!!! I promise pics after I'm done.... But my major concern is the bridge, which I think I'm going to ether remove altogether, or simplify. right now I don't have time to finish it properly....

 

and I hope to see anyone who can make it to Sterling VA for the judging on the 25th!!!

Alright, 4 days to go, and this is what I have so far.... not spending time on typing too much

Sorry for the crappy pics))))))))

OK, so last day for me today.... so far I have

 

1 Tactical squad,

Chaplain with jump Pack,

7 man Assault Squad, ( 2 of which will act as a body guard for the purpose of the display.)

Mortis Dreadnaught,

2 Land Speeders (although still have the pilots to do and the gunners...)

Predator Distructor

Rhino

 

to finish today

All Tiberium crystals

1 bridge side

7 Sturnguard

Land Speeder crew

Rhino gunner

 

I'll post pics as soon as I can Brothers

One thing you might want to reconsider, some of the tiberium crystals shine light onto where some of your models will be standing, it'll look weird unless the lights also on the model which could be a lot of work and slightly ruin the model for the sake of a display board...

 

 

May want to move those tiberium deposits.

 

Awesome display board though man.
