Ada Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi, Hall of Honour sounds a little grand for this but here goes, just finished this off. I recently got back into the hobby just to paint if im honest, posted a few pics in the WIP section. I'm quite please with it considering, feedback welcome. http://imageshack.us/a/img708/1412/fbk7.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img11/7820/iz5e.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img546/3592/baea.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img203/1664/px77.jpg I'll post up a few Plaguebearers shortly, just need a few finishing touchs. *Edit, improved pics added, chucked in a Plaguebearer for good measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mapple Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I like the colors. The green is a great non-dirty green, and the purple is a good complement. Nice and clean paint for a dirty demon.Tip for the pictures: Take the picture from the same direction as the light, so you don't lose the detail and color when half the model is in the shadow, like seen in this picture. Great start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecritter Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 "Great Start"? I say super nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mapple Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 He said he was doing some plaguebearers next. So, the lord/HQ is done, and it's a great start on a force. It was only meant as encouragement since he just got back in to the hobby to paint. The Prince is really well done, as I said previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ada Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. :) Father Mapple, appreciate the advice on taking photos and lighting. I think I'll re shoot the deamon prince later and edit the original post. The green is a colour called Middlestone from a FOW paint set, I think it drys well as a putrid looking green for Nurgle models. I would have preferred to do the cuts in the flesh in some sort of luminous colour, but I don't have one currently so red had to suffice lol.

S.k.i.t.t.l.e Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Very nice dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Very nice. Nurgle folks sometimes tend to mash a lot of green-brown colours together to make it look "dirty" which really just turns out as a not-so-well-done paintjob. You got around that, great job!You're just lacking a biiiit on the base. Maybe some colour (simple grey with a few drybrushes would do fine). Maybe a space marine helmet or something similar, because there is so much space on the base? Perhaps of one of your friend's chapters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ada Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Ah yes, the base is rather bleak. I have a few ideas though, watch this space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ada Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Small update with the first five Plaguebearers. http://imageshack.us/a/img34/1484/ggdr.png http://imageshack.us/a/img43/9420/am89.png Sorry about the image sizes The next five will be up shortly.

Ada Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Ok, in response to the base issue I came up with this: http://imageshack.us/a/img35/9303/atk0.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img7/121/nqfx.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img833/9854/zvz0.jpg I think that address's the bareness of the base in quite a fun kind of way.

Ada Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Next up I got some Plague Drones :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Everything looks superb, and papa would be so proud of these daemons. In truth, the only thing to improve are the plague bearers base. They are just so plain. If add some touches, like you did on the prince base, they would truly be perfect. Also would love to see those plague drones!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ada Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks very much for the feedback Uprising. I'm detecting a recurring theme here, the bases are not good :) Might have to review the Plague Drones before I put them up here then. I'm beginning to think this should have been started in the WIP forum now. :) I'll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I quite like these. The one thing that stands out to me is the Demon Prince's sword. It looks like you went for rust, yes? It looks more like a steel blade that was washed orange/sepia though. Clean and tinted a funny color, rather than dirty and corroded. On that last 5 man squad, did you rethink your palette after some test models, or are you actually using different shades deliberately? The guys on the ends don't match have the same colors as the ones in the middle. If that's deliberate, I applaud you A bit of variation in a fleshy army does wonders, especially one as...erm.."colorful" as a nurgle army. EDIT- Just bothered to scroll back for a second look, and it seems it is indeed deliberate. Gold star for you. Ah, one other thing on the Demon Prince. The armor cuff of his left hand, I hadn't noticed until the close up. The ridge of the armor is painted the pale tone of his flesh rather than finishing the color of the armor. This bugs me, deeply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Thanks very much for the feedback Uprising. I'm detecting a recurring theme here, the bases are not good Might have to review the Plague Drones before I put them up here then. I'm beginning to think this should have been started in the WIP forum now. I'll be back. I am a true believer in proper base. You spend countless hours painting these models(yours are truly amazing), but then spend ten mins on the base, just makes no sense. The model is the character back story, the base is its purpose for waging war and the war zone itself. Its like this Prince:Why did you summon the great and neurotic (insert name)? Apostle: To destroy and loot the slaves of the emperor. prince: (looks around) Really, you summon me, me to loot/destroy a desert. Seriously all i see is sand, why are you looting sand? Next time loot/wage war on a forge world or a space marine home-world. I am going back to the warp to wait for the 14th black crusade. To make it better, why not add some blood splatter, more of those plants, corpses/ destroyed equipment, nurgle infection, etc. Personality, i use this tutorial with city rubble theme bases(cork board). so cheap, easy, but really capture the feel of total apoc. hope this helps. http://fantasygames.com.pl/blog/how-to-make-nurgle-base/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ada Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Firepower, yes indeed the shade variation is deliberate. There are five varying colour schemes in all, my thoughts were that although there is a need for a unit to have a coherent colour scheme to mark them as members of the same unit the variation improves the visual impact of the unit, providing its not over done. I must admit that the dark green irks me as it didn't really turn out very well. The sword, yes, it is a little lack lustre, particularly as I think I achieved a nice rusted effect on the bearers blades. It's something I'll have to revisit I think. Oh, I'll need to touch up that cuff then :D Uprising, damn it when you put it like that it really is poor show :d. Raiding a desert really is below a chaos deamon horde. Many thanks for the tips, I will be making a concerted effort to improve those bases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The purple-green Drone is delightful. A really nice use of colors, along with the pallid hues of his rider :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ada Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Changed the thread name as I'm now going to use this as a one stop shop to show what I've done. Not collecting anything with a view to building an army just collecting models that I like and painting them. Couple pics here of my Deathwing termies: http://imageshack.us/a/img69/277/dzpy.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img823/1903/dx5r.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img856/6596/eobs.jpg Comments and feedback most welcome!!
