undertow Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 1000pts of painted Death Guard infantry is waiting for their bases to get done, but I'm stuck for ideas. I normally go for deathworld bases (chaos black, then drybrush with codex grey, fortress grey and skull white) and I want something different and suitably nurgly. any ideas?

Dominar_Mortis Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 how about a living planet infected with nurgle rot? eg. pustules popping underfoot, open seeping wounds, tentacles writhing out of oriffices, rotting carcasses, melting rotted tree stumps, bile puddles/swamps, surface "skin" disease (flakey, dry, rash like)...etc you get the idea now excuse me whilst i puke, the mental image i have is awesome but really, REALLY gross :devil: DM <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85623-death-guard-base-ideas/#findComment-990811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
undertow Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 isn't that somewhat cliche? the way i think of DG is of zombies slowly walking up to enemy trenches and executing everyone in there. More WWI battlefield than daemon world really. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85623-death-guard-base-ideas/#findComment-990824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominar_Mortis Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 okay well you did say I want something different and suitably nurgly WWI, eh...? hmmm.... how about mud, with more mud and occasional rotting corpse impaled on a stand? you could have the board walk thing going on as well, that would look good. ooh, ooh ooh just thought of an awsome carry tray/diarama! you could have the tray as a trench system and have the CSM bases modelled like the flooring of the trench (boardwalk, bodies etc) and on top have a vehicle or two rolling over the top. that would look cool :devil: DM <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85623-death-guard-base-ideas/#findComment-990830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieutenant L Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Could some thing like this be of help ? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/lieutenant_L/DSCN1285.jpg though when put with rock look alot better like this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/lieutenant_L/DSCN1222.jpg They are made of PVA glue - i have written on tutorial on them - they take about 5 - 10 minutes each, and painting is very simple as well Or how about some sculpting - this was a quick see what i can do in under 10 minutes http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/lieutenant_L/Work%20in%20progress%20shots/DSCN1442.jpg thanks, L Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85623-death-guard-base-ideas/#findComment-990833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquistor Solana Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I would also recommend skaven tails here and there. they look like giant worms, really. Could be some minor mutations or bits falling off the guards....

undertow Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Yes, please do post a link. Concerning mud, what might be the best way to go about it? I was thinking of using water fill (or whatever it's called) with bestial brown to form the occassional mud puddle.

flyinghippo Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I say WWI/Trench type bases. Get some sort air drying puddy or glue mix or whatever make the bases uneven with little holes here and there. wait to dry. add glue to top and use sand. Paint some sort of brown. Fill little holes which you should have made when you were making the base uneven with that fake water stuff (make sure add a little green and brown to it). Then to finish it off add the odd nurgling,( :) ) bit of razorwire or static grass Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85623-death-guard-base-ideas/#findComment-991577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
