Verux Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Nice colours on the Crawlers, really liking the Daemon prince, he's very unique, what's he made from? The torso and arms are from a DE Talos. The cables and guts are from the bloat drone kit carved to fit. The sword is from the AOS Morghast. Left over blightlord terminator shoulder pads fit after carving off the originals. The mask is a combination of a knight armiger faceplate and part of mortarions spare lantern pistol.

Verux Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Great looking plague marines! I was wondering what your recipe for the smoke is. Care to share? :) I have done two variations in the above pictures. Both the same concept though. The darker blue on Mortarion and the Lord of contagion is Celestra Grey base with Drakenhof Nightshade and then highlighted with Wolf Grey from Vallejo and finally White Scar. The more ethereal smoke on the flail is Celestra Grey washed with a thinned down N.Oxide technical paint highlighted the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Excellent work all around, but I especially want praise you for that Daemon Prince! Nurglite Daemon Princes are often really boring, and yours is a very cool and original idea! I love how he manages to look very insectile and very threatening at the same time. Maybe you could even graft a third eyelens to the forehead of the Armiger mask, for that extra bit of Nurgle-goodness?! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered putting a third hole in the carapace above the head but had not considered the face itself. It is certainly tempting!

Verux Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 While I finish up the kitbashed prince I decided to finish painting up some models on the table. Finally managed to get 2 of these Blight Haulers a few weeks ago, Also bought one of the finecast Nurgle Princes and decided to add some wings in the vents. Not a big fan of the model but I had a gift card from Christmas so... yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldrick Shadowblade Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Very Cool Thread so far. I especially like the purple washes on the skin. It's a very cool look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verux Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Blight Haulers are complete aside from the bases! Nurgle so much fun to paint as always. Brother Callidan 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verux Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Small alteration to my demon prince. Thanks for the suggestion Kraut and you can thank my wife for jumping on the bandwagon to make the change. The third eye was once the jewel of a Custodes shield from the Burning of Prospero set.

Verux Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Adding a little color to the Prince. Not sure what direction to go with the wings. I may mirror my Mortarion to keep consistency in the army. Any thoughts are appreciated. This will be the last of me until next week as I am off to the beach with the family. Hope you enjoy!

Eldrick Shadowblade Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 For the wings... i might just try a glaze of a light ochre or even something like army painter soft tone / seraphim sepia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verux Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 So my duo of princes is nearly complete. I can't say I am completely satisfied with my kitbash at the moment. I need to add some more depth with the skin tone as the purple wash over such open areas did not have the same effect as the smaller areas with the drones and haulers. Perhaps some target green washes would add some character? The green stuff loin cloth / cloak area is also not loved. Perhaps I should match with the red on Mortarion and my other Prince? I feel the purple is too much in such close proximity to the skin. Also, I tried two techniques with the wings. The kitbashed prince was a simple wash with camoshade then green shade and violet focused towards the base of the wings. Then I filled the flat areas with a few layers of the new Deepkin Flesh which were heavily water down in order to be somewhat transparent. Here is the standard Nurgle Prince with added wings. I tried a different technique with his wings and found it much more pleasing to the eye. These wings were shaded with the same camoshade, greenshade and violet but I thinned them down with medium and then drybrushed ever so slightly over the area with the Deepkin flesh. While I like it better I am torn between leaving the kitbashed prince to add some character to each model. Let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy.

KrautScientist Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hmm, I actually think the wings on your kitbashed daemon prince look perfectly fine -- if anything, I think there's maybe a bit too much purple and crimson going on with th model's paint scheme, whch arguably makes the prince look less Nurglite than he should look. Maybe you should try a different colour for those dangling robes (dark grey? black? oth carfully drybrushed/higlighted with a light brown towards the bottom for that extra threadbare look). And maybe those organic cables could use a drop of Nurgle`s Rot? Anyway, fantastic work so far! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verux Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Made some changes to the kitbased prince and I think I am finally happy with it! Here is the finished product of the dynamic duo. I took Krauts advice and changed the cloth to a darker color. I also used a very thinned down camoshade on the skin. I must say I am much happier with the model now. I may add some streaking to the armor of this guy in the future but I am happy with him. The wings turned out more to my liking than the other prince and I will add this STC to my painting database. Here is my next project for the Death Guard! Time to test out my nurgly greenstuff skills. This and a Foul Blightspawn will be my final Death Guard for some time. I am planning on pledging some Space Wolves for the ETC, just have to establish the points beforehand. Hope you enjoy!

Verux Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Doing some simple green stuff work on my rhino. Mostly experimenting with different tools and techniques as I do not have much experience.

Verux Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 After long delays and side projects I have decided to resume this WIP thread. I am planning on continuing to grow my Imperials Fists army and hope you enjoy. I may add some of my other projects from time to time to keep it spicy. Thanks for looking! Made some improved flight stands for these fellas as the stock ones are very flimsy. Very excited to get some paint on this big boy. This is my original concept scheme for the army. Yellow is interesting to say the least. It is also the first time I have used oil washes. I think I am a convert as I really like the control I have over them. cretacianborn and Brother Callidan 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verux Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Making some progress on these guys. Working on my blending techniques but not completely happy with the results. Also the funko pop is done! Edited November 29, 2019 by Verux Grotsmasha, Brother Callidan and Doghouse 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Callidan Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Loved going through your thread again and seeing your up dates on your DG. Imperial Fists are looking good. I need to learn how to paint power swords like that. Looks so good keep it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verux Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Thanks for the compliments. I am working on the redemptor and the special characters now. I am having difficulty with the weathering. Trying to make it subtle without wasting my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verux Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Finished up a group of Imperial Fists. I may go back and hit some details later. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verux Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 I have decided to add some more weathering to these as they are just a bit too clean for my tastes. The entire reason I wanted to do Fists over Templars was the ability to weather them in unique ways. Now I have to find that balance. Hope you enjoy the first attempt with this Redemptor.
