Nikolakhs Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 So I started making this force a long time ago, and the choice to switch from normal nurgley green to IF yellow was a little after that. But recently, I stumbled upon the Dornian Heresy pdf and I was astounded at how much more awesome it was than current GW fluff. So, this army will now be a Dornian Heresy post-Heresy IF army, and this is right before they switched themselves to being called the 'Black Legion.' Basically, everything is coming alive in this army, as they have been infected by an offshoot of the Obliterator Virus. This was spread to them by a plague monk from a conquered world, and they were forced to swear allegiance to Nurgle over the pantheon of the other chaos gods in order to survive the trip to the Eye of Chaos. This is very WIP at the moment, so please, standby for updates. BTW, I think I should switch the red trim to black, is this a good idea or not? Army composition is as follows: 2 DP 1 LR 3 Rhinos 4 Plague Marine squads 1 Dread 2 Oblits Lets start with the Daemon princes.

Mithril hound Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Toooooo cartoony. It looks like Wallace and Gromit seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Very cartoony, but I like it. Guess it's just a matter of personal taste ^^ Lots of weird, gruesome ideas. The Prince that is carried by three assault Marines is one of the coolest ideas I have ever seen for counts-as wings. What putty are you using to sculpt? I have never seen this red stuff before?

sar mikael Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 yes this is a bit cartoony , in fact so much so it reminds me of jace and the wheeled warriors! but this is why i do like them! its refreshing to see a choas force that is a llittle different and isnt just covered in boils and sores.

firestorm40k Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/Mr.Trowa/living%20plague/DSC00247.jpg Do I detect a bit of Deadite influence on this army? ;) Great sculpting on the conversions, very gribbly stuff, I really like it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Styphus Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Yay, another Dornian Heresy project! I really dig your sculpted chains. If it wouldn't be too much of a hassle, would you mind messaging me a link to a tutorial if one exists? Too cartooney? The regular space marines are 8 foot giants who wear bright blues and yellows into battle. Reality is for the weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 The mouth on that landraider is ace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDuke Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Haha, this is absolutely fantastic. As I scrolled down my eyes just got wider and wider. Not to everyones tastes undoubtedly, not enough grimdark aaarrgh, but I love it. The Landraider especially reminds me of the film The Thing. Keep it up.

turelhim vampire Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 What an incredible looking army, it may be cartoony but so was 40k back in 2nd edition - to me this perfectly captures the spirit of what chaos is, and to start the army with models of this quality at the age of 12 is outstanding. My hat is off to you my friend, you have true talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Question what is this red modelling putty ? It looks like selfmade plastic the GW Bloodangel Terminators from Spacehulk are made from...definitly interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyst Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Does your Land Raider have a rectum on the back? Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 A bit too cartoony, I think. Also, a bit to bright yellow. Maybe tone it down a little and make it a bit more rusty/aged. Still very good tough! - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofmanynames Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Love it. The daemon prince with jump pack marines for wings is gold. Also the land raider with a mouth is amazing, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor The Great Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 As a son of Dorn im appalled.........but as a hobbiest i truly love your army,particulary your Deamon prince being carried to battle,just awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Love it. The "cartoony" nature adds to the creepiness, a humor/horror mix that is completely suited to the jolly Papa Nurgle. Bra-vo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
