Yeah, I tend to do base colours of the red and such in groups of 3-5, but once they have been done, it just focus on them one at a time. This is mainly because I don't get to game much at the moment, there's no rush to get things done because I rarely get to take them to the battlefield! Also I have a painted army now, so I can spend a bit more time on new stuff. 

 

Although if I am honest, I don't think the earlier marines are all that well painted, and I don't feel these are mega awesome or anything. I am really really itching to do a daemon prince conversion, and spend a month or so converting and painting it and getting it just right. It's been aggggeeeesss since I poured lots of attention into a project. Not since my converted dreadnought :(

 

Hoping to do some Landraider conversions over summer! :D Don't have the finances at all for the project I have in mind for the Daemon Prince! :D

Third possessed marine WIP. Really happy with the tone of the red on this guy. I don't know the reason why, but whenever I take a break from painting my Word Bearers the formula for the red I like just slips my mind, it takes me a few practice models to get it right again. This never happens when I paint my Ultramarines!

Working away in the evening on another possessed marine. This one has entered a dark pact with a nurgle daemon!

Possessed with Chaos Champion helmets are so awesome. This is one of my fave that I've ever seen. He just bleeds character.

As an aside A-B-D what do youmake of the Gal Vorbak miniatures from FW?

 

I think they look great, but how do you feel about them since you "wrote them" into the background. Also, heard rumours of an Argel Tal mini. Must be really awesome seeing what you create in your novels become a reality on the table top!

Thanks guys :D

 
Nearly finished this guy. Need to do his back pack and touch up a few things like the bone spikes etc. Also need to add "special effects". Something I've never done before but have decided to give it a go on this guy.

Thanks Storm Empress! Pretty sure anyone can with a bit of practice! :)

 

Okay, that's the fourth possessed marine finished!

I now only have two more left to do, and then I need to either buy some more, or convert them to make them a full squad!

Not sure how I feel about the green goo. I tried to put it on the model sparingly so it suggests he is all plagued up, but not too much so that it makes him look more like a plague marine than a possessed Word Bearer. 

 

Still, the goo itself is ace, will probably revisit some nurgle miniatures with it at some point in the future!

I couldn't be happier with them, I think they look incredible. When I'm finally brave enough to commit to painting a Chaos army, I'd either use them as Possessed Champions, Obliterators, or Mutilators.
