avragehuman Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hey guys, I have a cute little nurgle force and I'm hoping to expand on it. Now I LOVE the new chaos models and I'm hoping the rules are just as good, but how am I going to make them nurgle-riffic? I'm mostly a hobbiest, I don't really play all that much. But when I do I love having a fully painted/converted force. But with these new models I can't figure out how I can make them... nurgle. Like the dragon, do I make all his cables into organic tentacles? Should I make :) grow out of him? I just DON'T KNOW. I've never had this kind of artistic block yet, maybe it'll come to me once I get the models.. any ideas from nurgles favored here in B&C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_f Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I have molded Nurgle icons out of green stuff for som of the shoulderpads. Also chopped off a few arm and made tentacles and stuff ozzing out of them. The rest is just cosmetics. Use green, purple and lost of different washes.

Fullbrook Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I have to say i'm having the same problem, none of the new models scream nurgle to me. For my plague marines i like to have the armour as plain and undecorated as possible as i think this fits with the death guard fluff. the new models while nice have far too much decoration to fit with my current force to the point that im actually starting a new undivided army black legion or word bearers as i think these new models fit perfectly. I could see the new forgefiend being easily converted to nurgle though just make it obese like dragging its stomach across the floor maybe take off the arrows and other undivided stuff on it. As for the dragon i cant see it i think its far to sleek and dynamic looking, i'm probably going to get one of those plague drones from forge world and just 'counts as' it.

Chaeron Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I don't honestly think you need to do too much - you can go very much over the top in a manner that just looks too much like you've got and converted it en masse. Subtle conversions and GS work, imho, are more suitable for such minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I gave up on the new models, forge fiend aside —barf makes great ectoplasma, and am painting them as allied Word Bearers to my warband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 What sort of Nurgle-aligned warband are you scraping together? Straight-up Death Guard veterans? 'Fresh faced' Renegades of your own design? The Cleaved? The Purge? The choice is yours! All of these offer terrific modelling options, but anything can be turned to Grandfather Nurgle's purposes. Carve 'em up, add some distended green stuff or fantasy zombie guts, and go to town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Morgrim Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I plan on using a Jabberslythe converted for my Hell Drake in my Nurgle force... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I plan on using a Jabberslythe converted for my Hell Drake in my Nurgle force... I was thinking a zombie dragon would make a nice nurgley hell-turkey, but I'm not going to spend the money on it to find out. I have been eye-balling some paper models for a hell-blade. Lots of flat areas = hard to screw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I've already got most of my army, except interested in some Nurgle Termies. The new box would still need a lot of work to nurglefy them enough. Might look at 2nd hand ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of flat areas = hard to screw up. Potentially, combined with the old Zombie Dragon - but given the ball joints it's probably more effort that it's worth.
