Malarius Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hey guys ;) This is my first army. most likely it will be my only army, so I'm glad I picked a Nurgle army. I decided to go with the Purge for several reasons. Mostly because they have very little fluff so I can make up the fluff as I go along. I'm trying to do a "paint one mini a day," but I doubt that will happen. So far I have painted 3 regular CSM troops. I have only painted 10 minis and I'm in love with it. C&C is always welcome, but go easy, I'm still a newb :P http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture415.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture419.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture412.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture423.jpg More to come! Hopefully with my fluff as well. That stuff takes forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oojamaflip Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Wow, very nice mate. Very nice indeed, I tip my hat to you. I would offer some critisism, but I have none. You've inspired me to add a Purge squad to my Deathguard army. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Dave Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Great work. I've been painting for years, and honestly, my stuff isn't too far beyond what you're doing here. The grey lines on the banner guy are a little thick, but you could thin those out easy enough with more black. You could also drill out those Bolt Pistols - always makes them look better. I know it's tough, but try to keep that painting pace up. Posting updates is always a good drive to make that happen, so keep adding to this thread.

daboarder Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Nice mate. definitely looks good, sorry I couldn't get you those greenstuff tutorials before you started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Those are some fine looking troops! I have a question about the legs of your Icon bearer. Does the trim on the left side of the left knee sort of disappear across the top? If so, did you just paint a metallic line across the flat area?

Malarius Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 On the CSM legs, yes, sometimes the trim "blends in" to the rest of the stuff. And yes, I do just paint across it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarius Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 I didn't get to finish because I'm trying aout some new blending and painting techniques. I'm happy with this guy so far. Few things I learned today: - blending is hard as hell - chaos black is an eraser - there is such a thing as too much devlan mud http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture425.jpghttp://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture424.jpghttp://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture426.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Nice looking models.. I was gonna go with the purge too bit I've started my own warband who are a Death Guard successor called 'The Festering'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarius Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Small update. I've been reading so many cool tutorials and how to's lately. I'm starting to get the hang of the blending technique. Thinning your paints is awesome...who knew? On this power fist I tried to do some battle damage by semi highlighting with chainmail around the black. I can't wait to finish this guy so I can start on the next one. Cheers! http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture428.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture429.jpg http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz130/Judea3030/Picture427.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Looks good.... Plague Marines? I bought a box of csm too but I'm cutting out the belly plates and modeling bloated stomachs on them all. You're probably a better painter than me though, I've had 10 years off painting with a brush all together! Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added some green stuff to fill the gaps left by clipping. This guy is going to be awesome <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardiel Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 This guy is going to be awesome :) I'm inclined to agree, gorgeous minis. I'm only a little bothered by the fact you've just started and they look as good as they do. My first marines were.... unpleasant to look at. Was hard pressed to find criticism on these. Try boring out the barrels of the bolters, can't honestly think of anything else. :( Can't wait to see that dual-scythe wielding maniac together and painted.

Azekai Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Looks great, Malarius. The only niggling thing is the Undivided iconography- since the Purge are Nurgle aligned, having all those 8-pointed stars everywhere is a bit incongruous, unless they are PM recruits for the Black Legion or something. The chap with the scythes is amazing. I am looking forward to however you choose to mount the arms- so many threatening poses await! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rottenlad Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Love the double scythes. Also i would second the bolt pistol barrels getting a once over with the pin vice other than that keep up the good work. Nurgle be praised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarius Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks for all the kind comments! :P About the undivided iconography...meh, those guys aren't full fledged plague marines yet. I wish I could update more, but I have just started summer school,s o the next six weeks are to be filled with ewrt 1b :P Anyways, I am slowly working on the next part of the dual scythes lord. I'm going to be using Chaos raptor feet and put them on the termie lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarius Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Here's what I've been working on as of late. I'm using the feet from the Chaos Lord with jump pack and lightning claws. Chopping them off was a nerve wracking pain! But, the end result was great. I'm going to be adding some green stuff around the points of contact adding some pustules and tentacles. Also, I will be adding a Nurgle belly to him. http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=4088&d=1309748321 http://www.40kforums.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=4090&d=1309748321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malarius Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks for all the comments! :D The scythes both came from Typhus. Once summer school is done in two weeks, I will be able to post more pics. I can't wait to add the green stuff to this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plague Dave Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 He's coming along--slowly but surely like so many things in my army, as well. Those raptor feet are great. Is there going to be something that makes him fly, though? Wings, maybe? It's a great pose, but it doesn't make complete sense without something for flight (not that Chaos has to make sense, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
