Nurgle Carnival : Nurgling done.

After a successful test base, i decided to finish my nurgling base today. I have to say i'm very happy with the final result ; its both disgusting and nice enough for enjoyment.

Nurgle Carnival - Herald BSB

Despite the rumors of a new Nurgle Herald due early in march, i decided to make my own for the time being (and just in case the rumor are actually false).

My goal was to use the "cheap" Nurgle Chaos Lord for Warrior of Chaos, and turn him into a relatively fat Plaguebearers.

So here is what i started up with

Obviously, he's not really Daemon material with his big axe, his helm, his armor and his chainmail. So i decided to try and make him look more daemonic.

Nurgle Carnival - Plague Bearers WIP #11

Getting closer and closer to a finished army!

I put the "final" touch on my last bunch of Plaguebearers (all 12 of thems!), bringing the total to 70 fully painted Plague bearers.

70 Plaguebearers in all their glory

Let's have a look at the new addition ;

Rottus (Festus) Finished!

Late last night i completed my first herald, based on Festus model. Very nice model, full of details and plenty of different texture, bump and crevice for many different technics.

Who's next?

Took me awhile to decide if i wanted to do OSL on his bottles or not. I decided to go for the glow effect, and i have to say i'm very happy with the result.

Was so tempted to put some kind of keg's tap at the bottom of his backpack...

Funny enough, i painted LOTS over the years, but it was the first time i had true fleshtone to paint...

I went very dark with the staff details, but i didnt want to load up the model with even more colors...

It was also my first true nurgling to paint. I finally decided to go for a yellow color, with shading based on purple color. I really like the end result. It's a bit candy looking, but i think it mixt well with the greenish skintone of my plaguebearers...

Nurgle Carnival - Plague Bearers WIP #10 and Festus

With a little over a month left for my challenge of painting 2500 pts before ND Open V (February is such a small month), i decided to give it a go and try to finish as much as possible within the next 7 days. I'm on daddy duty (thanks to my wife working at night), so it won't really be a marathon, but i'm hoping to paint a good 4-5 hours a night for a week, and try to finish what's left on my desk.

Talking about my desk, here's what's on it right now ;

3 Nurgling base, Epidemius, 12 Plaguebearers, and Festus.... errr... Rottus!

Review : Back 2 Base IX movement tray

For a very long time, i though about purchasing stuff from Back 2 Base IX, but the idea was always pushed away since nothing affected my paint or my games, so i instead spent my money on an airbrush and similar toys. But earlier this month, i decided that i couldnt wait any longer and decided to place an order with them.

Nurgle Carnival - Plague Bearers WIP #9

Took a day off today to work on my Plaguebearers some more. After 5 hours, i'm very happy with the result.

As they were this morning.

As i left them 5 hours later

After those, only 10 will be left to paint to bring their total to 70. A pretty big number, which i'm very proud of. You'd have a very hard time finding 2 identical model, which is pretty impressive considering there's that many of them...


Now a few individual shots.

Woc Rumor #2 ; Pictures!

Fresh pictures for the February 2013 release of Warrior of Chaos

Another Rumor of interest : Daemon of Chaos (Fantasy!)

Taken from http://www.thefieldsofblood.com/


New Models (cut this list into two equal sized waves - one with the codex, one following up a quarter later). 

• All four Greater Daemon plastic kits with named options
• Plastic Furies, dual-option kit with "Flesh Terrors"
• Plastic Khorne Chariot, herald, dual kit with a cannon, pulled by Bloodcrushers
• Plastic Tzeentch Chariot, herald, dual kit with "flame-beast" pulled by screamers, ( 40k: a Skimmer)
• Plastic Nurgle Palanquin, (chariot), carried by Nurglings, (combines with Nurgle GD kit for named character model - Ku'gath)
• Nurgle Plague-flies (40K-Elites - Jetbikes, WFB-Rares - Monstrous Cavalry)
• New Daemon-engine, bipedal with atypical porportions, uses ectoplasmic weaponry of CSMs, has numerous options for CC or Ranged loadout. (40K- Heavy, WFB-Special)
• New Daemon flying MC. (40K-Fast Attack-flyer, WFB-Rare)

*EDIT*

Given that the daemons are getting chariot/ironblaster type kits it wouldn't surprise me to see the same thing with the WoC chariot.

So, apparently we get a chariot that shoot too!


Ku'Gath finally getting a nice plastic model? that would be very fun, especially if he decrease in cost to be included in a 2500 pts game.

Plastic Fury, i don't really care quite frankly, unless we can mark them, then it would be awesome.

Plastic Nurgle Palanquin carried by Nurglings. This is interesting, since the only palanquin we can easily get is Epidemius.


Good news is that the famous plague flies will be in fantasy too, as monstrous flying cavalry? That would be awesome.

Daemon Engine, i'm not sure. Their attempt at fantasy-fying the Soul Grinder failed miserably. Sure, its a good occasion for the sculptor to have fun, but i'm just not sold on the whole idea.

Daemon Flying MC? Bring it on. They won't see much play, since big monster tend to die quickly in 8th, but its fun for shit and giggle once in awhile.

Woc in February? time to get excited

Not much for now, except a small picture, and some date, seems like February 2nd is a nice time to head to your local Game Workshop store!
