Targetlock Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi So begins my descent into chaos and madness. i have begun some work on my Traitor guard allies for my Nurgle marine force and will now hope to begin sharing photos which i hope you will enjoy, i apologise for the amateur photo quality. This force is designed to represent the combined forces of a fallen imperial world, the force becoming a ragtag group of cultits, mutants and guards. using a wild variety of models, conversions and scratch builds :) A few things about the force: > each model will be converted, not a single model will go untouched in my conversion spree > as a big fan of chaos icons in my units, icons will represent my voxcasters except in my company command squad which will have a musician. This is the list i will be working towards: HQ> Iron hand Straken: 95> Company Command, Carapace Armour, Voxcaster, Regimental Standard, Master of Ordnance, Meltagun: 160Troops> Platoon Command, Voxcaster, Grenade Launcher: 40> Infantry Squad, Voxcaster, Grenade Launcher: 60> Infantry Squad, Voxcaster, Grenade Launcher: 60> Infantry Squad, Voxcaster, Flamer: 60> Heavy Weapon Squad, 3x Heavy Bolters: 75> Penal Legion Squad: 80> Heavy Weapon Squad, 3x Mortars: 60Heavy Support> Leman Russ Punisher: 180Fast Attack> Bane Wolf: 130Total: 1000Models: 58 Model plans: > Iron hand straken will be a count-as chaos lord for my force. > the penal legion will represent the mad zealots and rabble of the force. Any suggestions, comments and ideas will be welcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279801-rot-and-treachery-my-traitor-guard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targetlock Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Now for the pics, sorry about the quality :( Company Command: http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/targetlock1/media/Traitor%20Guard/CompanyCommandSquad_zpsd2674b74.jpg.html using a wild combo of various parts, the sorcerer represents the cult magus, my count-as company commander, this is until i do my Straken count as :) still need a master of ordnance. Platoon Command: http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/targetlock1/media/Traitor%20Guard/PlatoonCommand_zpscc87ad0a.jpg.html mainly converted from cadian command with loads of stuff added. Infantry Squad 1: http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/targetlock1/media/Traitor%20Guard/InfantrySquad1_zps667c6093.jpg.html Infantry Squad 2: http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/targetlock1/media/Traitor%20Guard/InfantrySquad2_zps05161544.jpg.html ecah model individually converted though awkward to tell from the photos :( Mortar Team: http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/targetlock1/media/Traitor%20Guard/MortarTeam_zps9ff0ca30.jpg.html Heavy Bolter Team: http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/targetlock1/media/Traitor%20Guard/Heavybolterteam_zps7b471833.jpg.html I thought of going for something different then i noticed the heavy weapon team is one two wound model so i though big mutants with big guns :) i thought the mortar team guns could be a form of energy cannon. The Full Force: http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/targetlock1/media/Traitor%20Guard/Thefullforce_zps49593ab5.jpg.html This is what i have got painted so far. next up: the final infantry squad and the penal legion plus straken :) all comments and ideas welcome.

Beachymike123 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 from what i've seen, i like the idea and theme you're going for - very unified and can tell that these are certainly dedicated to the plague lord. i like what you've done with the chaos icons-voxcasters too, i might even have to do something similar. you seem to certainly have a very good idea in your head and can execute it well and this largely shows in the minis themselves with the conversions. if i had one critique it would be, as you have already said, the quality of the photos themselves. there are ways to remedy this but i'm not the best myself either. there used to be a good 'how to take a pic' guide in the PCA section which has some useful bits in it, they helped me out a little anyway. if the images were just a tad tidier then i'd love to see the detail that has gone into them. but good work so far chap. great to see another fellow traitor guardsman out there, rallying the troops for the dark gods. looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Targetlock Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Thanks for that Leinmann and you are more than welcome to use the icons idea :) , and the yep the photos did turn out quite disappointing :( maybe i shall try again. anyone else got any comments, ideas or suggestions?

Ch@oZ Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It looks like there's some great conversions in there, especially in the command squad, but i can't really tell due to pic quality.

Targetlock Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks, will attempt to get some better pictures when i can also how do i post pictures on the page rather than a link?

Beachymike123 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 you create an album in your gallery, then upload the pics into that. then, when you set up a page such as this, you can either 1) provide a link to the album on here or 2) when you want to post a pic on the page you select 'my media' where you will have the options to display albums or individual pics. at least thats the way i've done it anyway. just beware that some images may have to be cropped, and you might have to rotate the image after uploading too (happens to me all the time), but you get the idea. hope it helps.

WarriorFish Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Looks good from what I can see with good conversions, though I strongly disapprove of the hospitaller - unmodded even! Better pictures inline would be a good improvement, the B&C gallery is a good way to easily get in images without messing around with external places and their silly rules and limits :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279801-rot-and-treachery-my-traitor-guard/#findComment-3455286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targetlock Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Leinmann: thanks for that :) WarriorFish: thanks and yeah i know about the hospitaller (i'm guessing you play sisters), i had the model spare and its just a temp till i create something better, any ideas? will make second attempt at photos soon.

WarriorFish Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 She's standing in as a medic right? I'm sure you can conjure up some suitable Nurgle version... maybe rather than blood packs he has something more unsavoury?
