Project Plaguewing (updated 1/26)

[iandanger]

Note I will update this post when progress is made...

 

I built a Nurgle CSM army backin 2007-2008, but I've barely played in the last year and haven't done much to the army since getting it table painted. I have since decided on a new paint scheme, bought Space Hulk, and 2 AoBR boxed sets. I've been occasionally chopping away at the models, so when the FAQ dropped updating the Dark Angels, I decided now was as good a time as any to make use of the terminator models I had, which include the following:

 

Have:

 

11 Space Hulk Terminators

1 Space Hulk Librarian

5 Chaos Space Marine Terminators (I had previously chopped up arms to make all 5 of these LC termies, as this was assembled before they offered LC bits orders, retrospect a bad idea)

10 AoBR Terminators (I had started to kitbash them into various CSM loadouts, but nothing was finalized)

1 Chaos Termie Lord

 

2 AoBR Dreads

1 Venerable Dread

 

Need:

5 TH/SS bits (Already ordered)

1 Close Combat Terminator Box

2 Landspeeder Typhoons

 

 

The concept of the army is a force of space marine renegades lead by a Chaos Sorcerer, however he has largely kept his marine force in the dark about his conversion to chaos, isolating an elite group of soldiers to receive Nurgle's gift (my main force of plague marines), experimenting on others (I sometimes run a fabius bile enhanced marine list with my sorcerer as a count-as fabius bile, and a squad of berzerkers lead by a khorne lord, representing a virus that lobotomizes and enslaves enemies), and finally the rest of the army (regular marines army I haven't built yet and the Dark Angels). Some of the terminators are intended to be wearing older armor, some are mutating, but they aren't conscious of the fact that they are traitors.

 

I have begun the process of converting and painting my minis, this post will track the painting of the entire army (shouldn't take too long, its just 6 light vehicles and 28 infantry currently).

 

Ok, so without further delay, on to the painting stuff. This color scheme is reminiscent of pre-heresy death guard, but I wasn't actually aware of that when I picked it, it was something I stumbled on. Its also similar to the Deathwing (white and green) so somehow it works doubly, which I find creepy. I have been painting minis for about 3 years now, and these are the culmination of those efforts. I am going all out since the army doesn't have that many bodies, which means detailed bases for every model and a very deliberate paint job. I'm not particularly skillful, so nothing is all that amazing, I do think its great as far as table-painting level models go. On with the models:

 

 

 

Squad 1 (6 men, 1 dread):

 

I converted most of these marines from space hulk, cutting their faces down to pre-heresy size, although I left one and studded the shoulder of his armor instead, I liked his face too much to risk damaging it. I am magnetizing every arm that is practical in my army, but only the lighting claw CSM terminator qualified out of this crew, hopefully the magnets will be in next week.

 

Chaplain (converted from Space Hulk Sergeant):

And that does it for the stuff I have painted now, I plan to finish the rest of the squad over the next 2 days, paint another dread, then brainstorm basing for squad 2.

Sounds like a cool idea but you links are all jacked-up.
