Finally I have cracked my Nurgle Lord!!!

It struck me whilst reading the feedback I received on warseer how important it is to embrace the critique of others and try and constantly improve your ideas and technique.
I have a very strong vision for most of my projects, but it's helpful to have an outsiders point of view once in a while. With that in mind I tried one more version of the lords head.
I'm much happier with this than previous ones and I am pretty certain he is now finished!?!
I also got some more accurate colour representation photos.

Nurgle Lord 99% finished on the painting

Nearly done on this bad boy. The Nurglings need some re-working to vary their colours and I have a few details and extra glaze's to do on the lord.
Hopefully get him finished tomorrow and then I will wait for natural light to get some good pics as I'm finding it hard to get the colours looking right in the photos with artificial lights.

The painting begins

After what seems like ages from starting this bad boy I finally got sometime to lay done some colour on him. I'm experimenting in painting in a slightly new way for me. I got some glaze medium to try and I'm trying to paint one area to 99% finished, then I can make minor adjustments once the model is 'complete'.
The skin has only had it's first coat, but the armor is 'finished'.

The rust is done using MIG pigments (The new Flames of War branded pack)

Nurgle Lord finished!!

After what seems like an age, I finally got him finished :D
Although I will be magnetsing the Nurglings to the palanquin so I can sculpt some new ones when my skills improve.

Nurglings (why do I torture myself?)

Inspired by a few peoples work on various forums and blogs I decided to have a go at making my own Nurglings for the palanquin of my Nurgle lord.
These are what I have managed so far, I need to add in more of the little fellas to fill the gaps and give it a nice dense appearance (like a swarm) plus add boils etc.
The faces are maxmini zombie heads.

Converted Nurgle Lord on palanquin

Moved him along a bit the other night. Not much left to do, rivets on the palanquin and then sculpting the Nurglings carrying him.

A few updates

This last week has seen me bouncing around from project to project. But I did manage to get some stuff moving along.
The first 5 Tzeentch warriors are done, the rest are on my work station awaiting attention.

Added the rivets and 'fuel' to the Hell Cannon plus treads on the wheels, which will also need rivets.

Finally my Nurgle Lord got himself a pet (not finished)

Converted Nurgle Lord on palanquin

This is something I have been working on over the last couple of weeks in between other projects.
He is based on a plastic Ogre body.
The idea is he is a much favored warrior of Nurgle, hence his bulk and means of transport. The Nurglings will need sculpting.

These are some wip shots that I took along the way.

Warriors of Chaos conversions and scratch built bits.

I am going for as many conversions as I can imagine in my Chaos army. Although this will prolong the length of the project I think the reward will be worth it.
So this is a Tzeentch bsb, the sword is intended to represent a daemon sword that's in control as much as the champion wielding it is. His head is getting turned in to a hawk/eagle mutation.

The next is a pretty straight forward addition to the excellent plastic Tzeentch sorcerer, I wanted to create some movement on the model as he will be mounted on a the scratch built disc (the middle object in the pic below). The flames seemed like the most obvious solution after trying to model a piece of cloth and failing miserably :(
He is in the aerly stages so it will need much more work before I'm happy with him.

The three pieces above are the Tzeentch warrior units standard, the disc and the Tzeentch bsb.

The finished unit looks like this, shields are off for painting ease, the Chaos stars are so bloody boring! which is why i filled them off. The shields will instead have homemade decals added to them.

Also the imminent release of Forge Worlds Tamurkhan The Throne Of Chaos has got me thinking about possible conversions on the Dwarfs I have lying around, more on that in the future.

Tervigon

This is my attempt at a Tervigon, it took what seems like ages. I have no idea about how many hours I spent on it? The carnifex kit was widened and lengthened with extra plates added, and all the 'eggs' sculpted one at a time. It was a real labour of love and I learnt a lot about using greenstuff whilst I was doing it. I wish I had more wip pictures but alas I never thought about it when I was working on her.
Oh and due to the colour scheme my wife labelled them smurfs :)

Doom Of Malan'tai.

I know I know, over powered and then somewhat 'nerfed' as they say on the forums. But I had to make one because it offered the chance to make something cool. So here he is, again this is an older project but I thought it was worth adding it.

Tzeentch unit filler

Got this finished last night. The aim will be to paint the fire so the light can be seen on the warriors ranked up around it. I could be making a big mistake, but time will solve that mystery I guess ;)
I also started work on a sculpted banner for the same unit and a scratch built disc for my Tzeentch sorcerer lord. Pics of them should be up at the weekend.

Dragon Ogre conversion (finished)

Got him done late last night, I started work on the other three so hopefully they will be done in a week or so.

Dragon Ogre conversion

With the left overs from the Mournfang box sat around I was looking at the Chaos Knight box next to it and it struck me that maybe I could make some Dragon Ogres from the two kits, an unholy alliance if you will.
Now a centaur Ogre wasn't what I was after but a brief look on the good ol net came up with this excellent tutorial on making claws on warseer.
I really wanted to avoid the cold one body as it never seemed armoured or bulky enough. So here he is, once I start work on the other three i will post a stage by stage going in to detail about what I did.
