John_f Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hello all! Since I'm just about finished with my Lamenters army I needed a new project and with some new, cheap and great looking CSM/cultist models comming out I was thinking of starting a Nurgle based CSM/demon army. Fun to paint and fun to convert. Unfortunately I don't have any experience playing them but I will probably wait for the new codex before actually fielding them =) Anyway, not much yet but I have started converting one of the CSM from DV.

Kierdale Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Looks like a good start. I haven't seen the Chosen done as Nurgle ones yet. Can we get a frontal shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Looking good so far. Remember to nix those mould lines though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_f Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Some more of the conversions. My skill with the green stuff is sub par but I feel that with Nurgle its ok if the greenstuff looks abit bloated and rough. What do you think? Too much? Too little?

John_f Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 First few sample figures are shaping up. Needs highlights and weathering/rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Those look very cool! More pics please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_f Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 This is the finished sample figure. To be honest I'm not very happy with the end result. Some lessons learned; -paint in the paintbrush has to be SUPER thin. Like milk. -Do not paint the rust stains, use pigments. -Don't try to "spice things up" by using turquise on the paint chip highligts. Just add white to the final higligt color. And what about the bolter casing? Should I try to mix in a third main color or just keep it black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Awesome work! When I first saw the DV minis I thought that they would work well in most legions except maybe the TS and DG. You've really managed to make them fit the Nurgle theme brilliantly. The GS work is looking great, I especially love the power fist on the painted chosen. I can't wait to see more, especially a lord or hellbrute ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_f Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Things are moving slow due to trivial matter such as work and family. My Lord Nurgle is not pleased. I have managed to get the group to TT standard atleast. Notice how there are no lightning claw guys there? I'll be converting those to warp talons =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 ;) those are some epic models, could you show a close up of some of the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_f Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 ;) those are some epic models, could you show a close up of some of the others Sure, but first I need to add some rust and some details =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Taint Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 "First shalt thou take out your whole Unholy Army. Then shalt thou count to Seven, no more, no less. Seven shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be Seven. Eight shalt thou not count, neither count thou six, excepting that thou then proceed to Seven. Nine is right out. Once the number seven, being the seventh number, be reached, then formest thou thy first Plague Marine squad. Likewise, thou shall marshall thy remaining troops in squads of Seven, and Seven shall be the number of brothers in each of your squad." :woot: Yeah, a close-up would be nice. Particularly of the guy that looks like he's on a leash, and the guy that has him. Great stuff so far! Cheers, JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_f Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Some close-ups as requested. Please note that the ones with tentacles are the only two that a finished. The rest is still WIP. And I WILL run them in groups of seven, I just don't paint them in groups of seven =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 http://i2.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/002/252/me-gusta.jpg Those look awesome! Very different from typical rotters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I've never really been a tentacle man, but I have to say the subtlety with which you've converted them is worthy of commendation - in the main, it looks as if they were sculpted like that. Kudos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_f Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Some sample WIP for the Non-plague marine part of the army. I wanna be able to use them as pre-heresey Death guard as a choose. Hence the "clean" look. I have also begun rebuilding my hellbrutes into Maulerfiends (nobrainer). My local group was ok with this since I would be getting 5+ anyhow. Just need to add a beast head and some trophy racks and find some monsterbases: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azekai Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I love chaos snails, ever since ol' Chad Meirzwa's snail spawn was featured in WD. That paint job looks great, as do the cultists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_f Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 The rest of the snail. I'd imagine death by snail to be the worst ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Taint Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Great to see somebody's putting the snails to use. I've become aware of these guys just a couple of days ago and had exactly that idea, to field them as spawns. Your's look awesome. If I were you, I tried to achieve a little stronger contrast between the shells and the actual snail bodies, like trying to tone the shells down to a darker tone, with a strong black wash maybe ... But that's obviously a matter of personal preference. You've done a superb job on them. I love them! Cheers, JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
