Plague toad chaos spawn finished

I finally finished these late last week.

I'm really feeling a bit unsure of the results, and I reckon if I was to get another set and start again, I'd probably do it all differently - but alas, hindsight is mankind's eternal curse.  Having said this, I am quite happy with how they've turned out overall. Particularly happy with my use of glazes, which I think have really smoothed out some of the colour transitions in the greens, and also hopefully caused some reasonably grim effects in the mouth areas...

Apologies if you think the colours came out strange due to the flash, but I really thought it was necessary. Without the flash they seemed to be coming out a bit flat looking to my eyes...

On the table top they have already gained a bit of notoriety...

Nurgle chaos spawn conversions (work in progress)

Recently I've been preparing an army list for the Corehammer 'Dark Throne' tournament that's coming up in a couple of weeks.

My army list features 2 units of spawn with the mark of Nurgle. The first of these units is represented by a set of three Plague Toads which I've been working on recently. The second unit is going to be based around the rat ogre models from the Island of Blood set.

Thus far I've managed to get a hold of two rat ogres for conversion purposes. Here is what happened when I had a go at combining them with some bits from the Talos Pain Engine and the Hellpit Abomination...
