June - Done

The Rhino was finished and with the help of a lot of pigment.. Love 'em, makes the vehicle look really aged and used.

Enjoy

Were's our ride?

Soon enough... 
½ of June's goal accomplished!


But here are the dudes of SQ Bubonic.

Enjoy :)

oh and thanks for the inspiration on the platta and VM Krister Franzén :D

 

Death Guards, Squad Bubonic

Sense I have three sq of Plague Marines, they will be named after the three forms of plague

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague

Plague is a disease caused by Yersinia pestis. There are three major manifestations:
Bubonic plague
Pneumonic plague
Septicemic plague

So it will be:
Sq Bobonic with the Rhino Flea
Sq Pneumonic with the Rhino Bacteria
Sq Septicemic with the Rhino Rat

This is Sq Bubonics build so far:

Custum Custas...

There is no combi-plasmas för the Terminators

Why?

I took out my trusty Dremel and went to work and it turned out fairly ok

Then i took the rest of the way too much green stuff i made up for the combi guns and made some bases for the upcoming Plauge Marines.

Better pics later on 

Directly from Terminus Est: Typhus !

I present to you the Space Marine named Calas Typhon of the world Barbarus, the Herald of Nurgle and the host of the terrible plague known as the Destroyer Hive. 

A Champion of Chaos and the former First Captain of the Death Guard Traitor Legion. The most feared of all Chaos Lords to commander of the legendary Plague Fleets. He rules the Death Guard's armada from the bridge of his flagship, the Terminus Est!

Ladies and gentlemen, i give you

"I shall reap a terrible bounty from the death that I sow in your name, Father Nurgle..."

-Typhus the Traveler, Herald of Nurgle

Typhus is coming

Making the base

Need more worms....

and volia some worms...

Converting

Found an old nurgle dude that needed som love and a banner.. so it makes my squad in the Trusty old rusty have a banner as well if needed!

Here is a few updates.

First the altered army list:

2000 Pts - Chaos Space Marines

HQ: Typhus (1 , 230 pts)

Elite: Chaos Terminators (6 , 461 pts)

Chaos Land Raider

Elite: Khorne Berzerkers (9 , 256 pts)

Chaos Rhino

Troops: Plague Marines (8 , 240 pts)

Chaos Rhino

Troops: Plague Marines (8 , 240 pts)

Chaos Rhino

Troops: Plague Marines (8 , 240 pts)

Chaos Rhino
Troops: Plague Zombies (35 , 150 pts)

Troops: Plague Zombies (35 , 150 pts)

Fast Attack: Heldrake (1 , 170 pts)

Heavy Support: Chaos Predator (1 , 95 pts)

Total Cost: 2232

Obviously some stuff need to go, probably the Bezerks but I'm undecided so far... 

Then some pics on my updated Plauge marines (yes they are nine, but i painted all i had..) and the Rhino: Trusty Old Rusty

I used the hairspray and salt technique and it is a time consuming and for me useless method. I'm not that good with a air brush and its way much easier to use pigments. I went wild and made the Rhino dirty as hell.
Still some stuff to do on the bases and maybe some fine lining on the rusty parts and of course the Warlord Typhus (ordered, not delivered)

Enjoy:

Grandfather Nurgle part II

First things first.
This is a jump start on the goal for May, i know. But as it is soon a lot of work hitting me in the face, i need to get a head start!

Salt and hairspray... Crapad00dle!

Tried out a air brush for the first time and it is as the say on some 'learn how to page' If you think of all your hours with a brush, why should you master the air brush from the get go?

Because i WANT to, that's why!

Anyway, learned this by doing it wrong:

Spray on a distance
Use small grained salt or grind your big flakes.
HOT water and a gentle brush
Don't overdo it.
Use rust pigments instead, much easier, less time, less mess...

And when you use pigments, its also a new skill, DAMN IT !

Pic for you to snicker at. I hope i can make them look somewhat nurglish in a few more days.

Grandfather Nurgle

The goal for Tale of X Gamers this May is:
A squad of old renegade miniatures representing Death Guard and a Rhino to transport them. I will try to use the Salt and Hairspray technique for the rust and decay of body, soul and metal.

A pic of the extremely nice old models (made 1989):

Who said that they couldn't model miniatures before plastic....
