Could you snip the storm bolter off his arm, and carve the said arm up a bit? Then use some of your GS skills to turn the mutilated arm into some kind of tentacle??

 

I have no clues for names.... I am saving Hector Brocklebank for one of my own legionnaries :)

That's actually not a bad idea, Dantay. Cheers.

Also, I see your siggy still has a 'Bring it On'-banner from the Augustus Arena event. You can copy-and-paste a Victor badge from this post, and update your siggy with it. You earned it, buddy!

I love him! Now he looks simply awesome. All the nice little details comming perfectly together.

 

The greenstuffed torso + plaque bester head could make him look to demon-y. This can be a nice thing, because you could use him as a herald, like your moniker for him suggests. And he could lead your PBs into battle. Don't remember if nurgle herald can get a palaquin. Also: count as Epidemius (should he have any worth in the table top).

 

If you are going for lord or sorcerer, that could be a bit too much. But still, nurgel sorc with Prophet of the voices + palaquin or a very crazy fast corps cart aka 'plaque bike' or sumfin. I really like it.

It looks lovely, Aug. Flows very well.

 

As for a name suggestion, how about Sisiphus Arloth. I've got a big stack of names in a Word doc that I'll never use, and he looks just like how I imagined a Astartes of that name would be.

 

Also, can we get a pic of the little icon on his storm bolter, if you haven't cut it up yet?

Thanks and yes I have updated the banner... Imperial Fists eh??

 

Please make them 30K, you would be most welcome in the AoD forums :smile.:

 

In the meantime, the corpse cart is loking too clean inside, needs some detritus... Also was having a weird thought, but do you have any of thse nurgle ffoot knights (blightkings or whatever they are called) from WHFB kicking around? Was thinking that swapping the right leg with one of their swollen legs would look cool, if it scaled correcly...

Cheers guys!

 

@Aasfresser: I hear you on the daemon head might make him look too daemon-y argument, so I stuck with the plague marine torso. :tu:

 

@The Psycho: Sisiphus Arloth it is! Thanks for the suggestion! I'd name a character in my army after you, except you just named one for me. So I'll give you creds when I finish him, and award you a non-refundable, irredeemable, one-time digital high-five. How's that? ;)

 

Also, I destroyed the icon the bolter had, but here's a picture that shows how you can make a pretty much perfect Death Guard symbol from the Slaanesh symbol on the Chaos Vehicle Sprue. Just cut along the red lines. :tu:

@Kurama: Yes, the hated VI Legion! :ohmy.:

 

@dantay_xv: They will be 30K, but my heart lies with Chaos so next year I'll probably be vowing the Chaos. I'd have to join in the attempt to get a repe3tion of being Primus Inter Pares next year ;) About the suggestions you made - yes, I agree the cart is too 'clean', so I put in some whitehead pustules on it. Here's a picture of it how it is right now, with a white basecoat on it (I can still add things though).

I'm not going to change around the legs, as I am particularly satisfied with the way I converted them to stand on the cart itself. I have replaced his left arm with a tentacle, though, so I hope you like that.

Also, I gave him a bolt pistol and some grenades.

Jesus Augustus, you make the 15th Company look just as shabby and ragtag as the 10th lol. Truly the winds of Chaos have favored your band with fortune aplenty. Amazing work and an impressive collection as always.

It's all those grubby little daemoic entities they've been canoodling with. :p

 

But seriously Augs, that is a silly amount of things done inside of two years.

 

New Nurgle guy is also looking pretty darn awesome. Between you and Forte, I'm surprised I can keep lunch down :x

That is a breathtaking Night Lords army, mate! Really, really awesome stuff -- and so freaking much of it, too! Seeing you depart for loyalist shores will be a sad sight indeed, even if it's (hopefully!) only temporary. I had hoped for more World Eaters from you, personally speaking. Which reminds me: You still need to do a certain NL Apothecary before you move on, you know... ;)

 

The Plague Champion is looking great as well -- excellent use of the corpse cart! Did you keep the FW torso, after all? Because I think that option is far preferrable to having a Plague Bearer head on him. Plague Marines with daemon heads are such a tired cliché...whereas I always dig the featureless, WWI inspired look of an honest, gas masked Plague Marine head.

 

Anyway, fantastic work all around! Job's a good 'un! :)

Just 'Augustus' is fine, buddy. I might have saintly painting speed, but I'm not too keen on sandals. ;)

 

Love the Nurgle guy. Can I ask where the spear came from.

Sure buddy: The haft and the arms of the spear are simply one Grey Knight Nemesis Force Halberd. I cut off the blade and replaced it with one of the blades on the spears of the Chaos Knight kit. :tu:

'Augs'. Wow. I guess I totes had that coming, after being fine with 'Auggie' for a while now, right? :D Thanks though, and I'm sorry about the lunch. What did you have?

Thanks! Yes, I agree about the Plague marine helmets. I've seen some conversions using the Biohazard Helmets from maxmini to great effect too. :tu:

Also: 'Departing for loyalist shoes'??? Who said anything about departing? From your post I sense you´re worried about me leaving Chaos, and particularly my World Eater Khorne Daemonkin. Lemme take those worries away from you right now, and let me do this with a visual aid:

I stacked all my bits boxes on top of one another behind my work station:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zps99yp5jcm.jpg

All of these are filled to the brim with pretty Chaos specific bits. They will be done. Also, zoom in on my work station:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpshrt67arm.jpg

I'm not going to be painting a trio of Chaos Lords on Juggernaut, plus another two Bloodcrushers, and a Bloodthirster, only to not have them anyone to lead, right?

Serisouly: the Imperial Fists are merely a side project. Chaos will always be my core army, and I'll never stop expanding on it. It's just the Night Lords I'm taking a break from -temporarily- and don't worry about Kraut the Apothecary: your own Fabius Bile stand-in inspired me to start planning my own for Call of Chaos, and I'll give you three guesses what is name will be. :tu: 

 

Fella that army shot is just....wow hope to have an army pic like that my self one day

You're super productive yourself, dude. You will have an army shot soon. Please make one, because your Scythes of the Emperor are just amazing!

Ah... what a horribly small collection of bits. I don't think I've ever seen smaller. In fact, it's so small I'm willing to take the whole thing off your hands, so just send them my way ;)

 

Anyways, I'm chuffed you like the name for the Plague Lord, and very grateful for the high five.

 

Also, save some of the Khornate stuff. We wouldn't want you running out...

What you have painted in two years is perhaps more than I ever painted throughout a couple of fantasy and 40k armies. In points at least, I did have a massive amount of Night Goblins once upon a time :tongue.:

 

I definitely understand why you want to have some variation in your painting though, Imperial Fists should be quite something else compared to Night Lords.

 

Oh, and that Nurgle guy looks really 'good', a nice use of parts and a sweet conversion.

OK, he's finished. :)

 

May I present Sisiphus Arloth, the Harbinger of Decay (thanks to The psycho for the name).

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think. :tu:

 

@KrautScientist: I laughed out loud, literally, or wait... no, yes, literally. Then I was like...

@The Psycho: I could send you a Care Packet of your choice god if you want? 

 

@MrBear: Yeah but Night Goblins are well known for speeding time, so as to make it impossible to paint them sufficiently fast to build an entire army. Thanks on the Nurgle guys, and yes, I am looking forward to painting yellow on a white undercoat. Both are far more unforgiving, so I hope to learn a lot from them.

 

@The Hydra: Totally go for team chaos, mate. They're such a pleasure to convert!

Haha, not going to lie. 

 

I read that as Syphilis Arloth at first, which would be apropos for a Nurgle Champion I suppose. 

 

He's looking pretty stellar! I love how unique all the little nasty nurglings are. They're all enthusiastic too, like little gross puppies.
