Malarius Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I started this thread in the Morbidus forum but wanted to share my creations with the rest of the community. This is my 11th mini and my first outing with this much green stuff. I think I'm gonna like this hobby. :D http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124241&d=1325198816 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124242&d=1325198816 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124243&d=1325198816 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124245&d=1325198816 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124246&d=1325198881 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124247&d=1325198881 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124266&d=1325219220 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124267&d=1325219220 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124337&d=1325292271 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124341&d=1325297519 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124342&d=1325297519 Next up will be the green stuff around the left wing and adding the bottom half of that poor IG soldier. Then off to the prime station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 This is a great looking conversion - the twin scythes set it off nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Loads of character in this model, and it being one of your first conversions is impressive. Nice work, continue on! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 That's an interesting conversion you have going on. Does this guy have a name or any story behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnosaur93 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 you detail stuff in the truest of ways to nurgle! :D ... that is, rather than just adding mass, you slowly pick it away :D (drilling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarius Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 That's an interesting conversion you have going on. Does this guy have a name or any story behind it? His name is Malarius. I'm currently working on a story. So far what I have is that he used to be a Death Spectre SM who is also in the Deathwatch. The squad he is in gets set up by a Death Guard sorc. so that he can use his gene-seed to splice with a new Plague created by Nurgle. The gene-seed is spliced by none other than Fabius in return for new troops. The sorcerer and his new underling go on to create the Purge chapter with the help of Mort and Nurgle. That's the gist of the story. I left a lot out. What I was trying to capture in this mini is the Vaxhallian Genocides. Once I read about what the Purge did I was hooked. You can read it here Also, I decided to go with the Purge and the Death Spectres because of their lack of fluff. Makes it easier to make stuff up. I figured that in order to take out that many people in a month would require a fast moving army, so I decided that the Purge would keep the Death Spectre tactics of lightning fast assaults. Plus it makes sense that Nurgle would want a fast spreading plague. I played it out that the sorcerer first encountered the Death Spectres during Abbadon's 13th Black Crusade, and that's where the sorcerer decided that a fast moving plague army would be ideal to spread pestilence throughout the galaxy. Also, I plan to create a graphic novel of the story Malar (Malar is his last name when he was a Death Spectre) of the Purge. I happen to be an illustration major. Although that won't see the light of day for at least another year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Well, I'm sure some of our members (myself included) would love to see a sample of your artwork- especially if it details this cool model and his troubled past. Neat idea for a force competition as well. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malarius Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 So I finished green stuffing the base of the wings. Dunno if you can tell but I tried to make it seem that the wings are busting through the armor. It will probably be easier to tell once he is painted...which starts tomorrow. I'm f'n stoked to paint him up. I might end up painting 1 or 2 plague marines before starting on Malarius just to get some practice in. http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124487&d=1325453783 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124488&d=1325453783 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124489&d=1325453783 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malarius Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 The bottom half of that poor IG fits perfectly on the base! :jaw: http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124491&d=1325456501 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=124490&d=1325456501 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malarius Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Long time no post. Hope to have this guy done by the weekend. Still got tons of work. My new favorite thing to do is flesh. I got the newest how to paint GW stuff book and used the Tomb Kings skin tutorial. I think it worked out great. Too bad I missed the 'eavy metal masterclass book. http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=9384&d=1337313639 http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=10086&d=1341387078 http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=10087&d=1341387078 http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=10088&d=1341387078 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malarius Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Almost done with the skull trophy/blight grenade. Did my best to dot the eyes. http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=10091&d=1341432771 http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=10092&d=1341432771 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarius Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Here's some progress on the greaves. I'm going to highlight the greens and the metal so they don't look so muddy. I also included a shot of his butt. Man that was a hard area to do, but I think it came out really cool! Slowly but surely. http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=10094&d=1341509090 http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=10095&d=1341509090 http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=10096&d=1341509090 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Wow! Love the ripped apart Guardsman. That skin is looking really good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Looks fantastic. I've been tempted to use those Carrion wings in the past, but have never gotten around to finding the bits. Can't wait to see how you paint them. What does the Lord count as, rules-wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarius Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 With the WYSIWYG rule, he would be a DP. I don't really play the game though, I just like reading the lore, painting minis, and mind larp. And thanks everyone for the comments :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarius Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well, I took the left wing off. Okay, I'm lying, I put too much pressure on it and it broke. Instead off fixing it right away, I decide to paint what would be the :cussiest part of the model. I was able to get the area between the wings and on top of the armor! I painted the majority of the guardsman with the exception of his skin and guts. Currently, I am working on the carrion wings, which by the way, are the most frustrating thing to paint. Very easy to miss something on those wings. FYI - grapefruit pellegrino is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
