Three Hour Warning!

Last post before we take down the button!

So I guess it is time for another summary:

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

And that's not even all of it :)

More Sickness!

And here are more (and better) pictures of the PlagueMarines created by Michael from The Resurected Hobbyist and painted by Dave M:

Down with the Sickness

The clock is ticking!

And to give you some additional incentive to make a contribution, here are two more mostly finished squads of Plague Marines painted by Dave M:

Seven Nurgs of Nurglings

Jake has more previews for us:

 

 

 "As the bases from Justin finally arrived late yesterday, I was able to do the Nurglings.  Unfortunately, as originally done and then recast, they didn’t fit onto the bases, because there’s so much.. stuff.. on them.  If I’d paid attention to the pictures before telling him what bases I needed, I’d have gotten the empty hollow bases for them and filled, but what’s done is done, so I had to make due, and in some cases make new.  Don’t get me wrong, Mr Justin’s bases are beautiful, but just not what I needed for this particular set!"

"All of the Nurglings are hand sculpted originals (the white one is just a resin cast of one).  I decided that the old (and now new) GW ones just looked dicky, the arms on both were retarded in my opinion, and I went for the style as described in a few of the novels of quivering piles of bitey mucus and other bodily fluids.  I’ve also tried to keep them somewhat light hearted, as, let’s face it, bitey piles of schlock like that are a bit silly in their own way."

Sluggish

Today we have some WIPS from Jake:

This is Nurgle Lord (on Palanquin) SlugBob Slimetracks.  I’ve equipped him with two digitally sculpted masters (how many charity builds can claim to get not one, not two, but 3 masters in total?  None, outside of Black Crusade 2012!), the massive cleaver blade for the sword - which I’ve then hand sculpted on a symbol of Nurgle onto the front and back, and the shield.  On the shield we have words for aspects of Nurgle in multiple languages – Hebrew, Latin, Sandskrit, Late Phoenician/Arabic, Norse runes, and the written indicators for Inuit along with the standard 3 eyed fly.

 

The lower body/palanquin/slug section is hand sculpted from Super Sculpey around a floral wire armature and foil bulker.  It’s a bit hard to see as I’ve concentrated the photos mostly on the upper body, but there’s a slug/salamander type pattern worked into the sides and back of the lower body.

 

The billhook/axe head is from the Chaos Knights sprue, the basis for the sludge cannon is from the Chaos vehicle frame, specifically the combi piece for the bolter.

 

The upper body was proportionately based on two Space Marine torsos, but is entirely from greenstuff.  The head started out as the Nurgle Aspiring Champion head from the standard Chaos Marine squad, but took on a life of it’s own.  Lower arms are based on Terminator arms, and the uppers are normal sized.

 

Since the picture was taken, he’s been base coated and had that shoulder guard attached.  Now we’re just awaiting his base to arrive before painting, since he’s going to have to be slightly sculpted into the base for the slime trail, etc, to work properly.

Spoiled Meat

Another squad is finished!

Behold the Death Guard Terminators painted by our Pirate Viking Jeff:

A lot more pictures can be seen on the Pirate Vinking Painting blog!

Harbingers of Pestilence

More pictures!
Jeff the Pirate Viking finished the first of the Death Guard Terminators:

Seven Disciples of Decay

And the first finished squad!

Goatboy won the race (well, there was no race, but he won it anyway [he is just full of win! (Don't tell him there was no race, he might get sad)]) and proudly presents his Death Guard squad:

Death is not the End

And even more Death Guard!

This time some Plague Marines built by Michael C:

Father Nurgle Strikes Again!

Apparently the Death Guard is trying to take over the Black Crusade!

Here we have the first Plague Marine painted by Thomas "Goatboy". I am surprised non of them has a goat head ;)

The miniatures are a mix of old school Plague Marines, Fabius Bile's retinue andthe one to the left is a converted Warhammer Fantasy Nurgle Sorcerer.

All together Thomas will paint a whole squad including a Rhino.

Finished Nurgle Lord

Last night I finished up my donation to the Black Crusade Charity Drive 2012. It's a 'counts as Typhus' Nurgle Lord. He ended up very gory, which is not something I have done before, but it was enjoyable to play around with. I ended up using a different base for him then I first intended, because I wanted to give the model a bit more height. The Typhus model is slightly smaller then the new Terminator models, so the extra height gives him more visual weight on the battlefield.

The poor Imperial Fist is a tribute to a Nurgle Lord I made years ago, I thought it was fun to remake that model a bit.


Here's that old guy from 2009 and the new one next to him

Below you can see the gore, sculpted with green stuff and finished up with some glossy varnish.

 I had the blood drip down on the ground a bit, pretty hard to make that believable, but I am happy with the result.

Lots of glossy residue coming from his flesh breaking out of the terminator armour.

I did end up putting some blood on the scythe, just to create a spot color of red over 3 parts of the model.

And that was it. It will be shipped off and raffled off to a lucky winner, getting a great Chaos Army. It will be raffled off the end of August. PLEASE donate; the cause is great and we all know how generous our gaming community can be.
