Feuer's Chaos Warbands (Current: Plague Marines)


Recommended Posts

Howdy, folks!

 

Without a whole lot of preamble, I've been looking at expanding my relatively static forces, as well as finishing up those I have but haven't based or painted. This here will be that effort cataloged for posterity. First up, I've got my first Noise Marine: his sonic blaster is made out of a bolter and different shapes of styrene. He'll have some guitar wire running from backpack to gun in the tradition of DIY Noise Marines, but only after I get some cutter that can handle steel without suffering the same fate as my snips.

I like this! I especially like where the heavy bolter conversion is going. I really like the piping work coming out too!

 

I have been wanting to do some myself but have them wrapped up like the headers of an exhaust system. I just lack the skill.

 Thanks! I'm not quite sure what to do with the tops: I had pipes up there but it was meh. You might jsut look at scale model car part manufacturers for some sweet headers, I can see them working as carnivalesque, or dare I say... Suessian noise marines. :)

"It was the damndest thing: there we were, watching the flank, when a bunch of traitor marines just walks out of the mist. They looked like the walking wounded, and one of them had a little white flag, which we thought was for surrender. So the sergeant tells us to give'em the Emperor's Mercy, and we light the blighters up. Only problem is, they keep walking: I watched a multi-laser tear three holes in one of them, but he kept on coming. Once they got close, everyone started to panic and they started firing their own weapons at us. There were explosions, gasses, and all kinds of awful things: I'm lucky I escaped with just a little scratch. Hurts quite a bit, though... is that green stuff normal?" -Final words of Private Jenson, Oberos 115th Infantry, moments before the Green Plague Outbreak.

 

Still working on the noise marines, but getting some plagues up for a game I've got on the upcoming holiday. Since plague marines can fight on through injuries that would kill even other marines, I'm modeling these to have extremely damaged and worn armor. The paint will accentuate the effect, I'm tore on traditional green-flesh paintscheme or doing a non-standard rust scheme.

After a break, here's some progress!

 

I originally had this in mind for my plague marines, basically just corrupted Brotherhood of the Sun marines who fell to Nurgle.

 

Nurgle Sunbro Front

 

But, I had a brainwave: it might be too easy to mistake them for my regular dudes. Plus, I'd like to show a bit more corruption in the paint scheme (Gold is pretty hard to tarnish or corrode, but I reckon Nurgle can find a way!) So I did some blue wash on the gold spray and got this result:

 

plague 1 normal

 

I like it, it has blueish shadows (a natural color for shadows) but also green tint thanks to how colors work.
