GuitaRasmus Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've gotten a bit further on the Greater Daemon - I wasn't convinced about the head, so I made another which I like better - it has a split lower jaw, like the vampires in Blade 2 (or is it 3?). Also some more greenstuffing, and guts! I also assembled 7 plaguebearers - they got some reposing, so a bit of greenstuff is in order, but the added dynamics is worth it: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250365-death-guard-warband-showcase/page/12/#findComment-3143503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elohimalpha Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Blade 2. Thanks - now I'm going to have nightmares for the next... ever. Amazing work!

Lachdannan Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Amazing. Looking forward to this one. I really like the liberal use of Tyranid pieces. Do you have a Tyranid army to raid for bits? You do you just by the kits and go from there?

Wolfsbane Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 You sir are an inspiration. Not just from a painting stand point but the fantastic modeling skills and imagination required to think outside the box and make your own army to such an amazing level is wonderful to see. Congrats sir. I hope Death Guard are absolutely broken in the new codex, because your models deserve to sweep the board.

MightyChad Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 This is an amazing army, very inspirational. The Greater Daemon is ace, I gotta say though, I felt the first head really made the mini look great, but the new one really makes it look like a daemonic beast made from the stuff of nightmares. Very well done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250365-death-guard-warband-showcase/page/12/#findComment-3144162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitaRasmus Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks a lot for the wonderful comments, guys - they really inspire me. :) I've just started work (public school teacher) after summer break, so I have to get up REALLY early. Damn. Oh well. I managed to get some greenstuffing done tonight, but I'll wait until he's finished with the pics. :) You, Sir, are an never ending source of inspiration and frustration for me ;) Glad to be of service. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250365-death-guard-warband-showcase/page/12/#findComment-3144390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemainus Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The second head is way cooler. Glad you followed your gut and went for the change. All your stuff is ridiculously good - I'm really enjoying following this thread.

RazakelXIII Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 That Daemon is awe-inspiring. Stunning work as usual, can't wait to see it all painted up.

Brother Turok Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Love the demon! I loved the first head but like how you changed it into more of a nightmare inspiring head. I do miss the wings but think the body screams 'nurgle' more now!

GuitaRasmus Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Once again, thanks for the kind replies - I'm hoping to get the last greenstuffing done this weekend, so I can get started on the basecoat. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250365-death-guard-warband-showcase/page/12/#findComment-3146301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagerg Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 This thread is truly inspirational - I have been watching this thread for a while and it keeps getting better. Please keep posting all your creative, magnificent creations - they are an inspiration to us all! My Nurgle crew pales in comparison yet I'm sure I'll take ideas from your great work here for future projects. Quick question (and apologies if I missed it somewhere) - the "Fly" model - is that a "counts-as" Blight Drone, or is it a new creation with it's own rules, or purely a fun conversion opportunity?

GuitaRasmus Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks! dagerg: I'm using it as a blight drone, until the new chaos codex is out, then I'll use it as the reported flyer. A bit of progress - the plaguebearers are done, the Greater Daemon is on coming along nicely: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250365-death-guard-warband-showcase/page/12/#findComment-3148965 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I wish my bed had better ground clearance, then I could go hide under it. Seriously, man, you're like the HR Giger of 40k!

Kaleb Daark Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This army is simply a dream! every bit of conversion is very well thought and very well painted... I particularly love the wasps (using the old RT tyranid crouch bit is just genius!) I simply wish I could do that.

Dragonkin Arenis Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I wish my bed had better ground clearance, then I could go hide under it. I wouldn't do that if I were you... They might be hiding under there :( This is definitely an army I would not want to face against - I'd come away with nightmares! The Dead Space vibe, and the in-army reasons for having certain units (bezerkers!) are amazing - fantastic job!

DarkMark Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Superb work all round. Some of the ideas are mental. :blink: A while back I saw somebody, in an EC force, bury/ fuse 'nettes into their vehicles. Now that plastic PBs are here it'd be easy to do the same for Nurgle. The plates on the Defiler would be an ideal spot for this. Just an idea for you to consider. Keep it coming!
