Death Guard biohazard marines revisited & Chaos space marine sorceror

So, some of you may recall that a couple of weeks back I posted up a couple of 3D sketches of some marines I'd been working on.

Well, since then I've put together some more dudes to round them out to a full squad of 7 (all power to papa Nurgle and all that bollocks), if I were to include my simple kit-bash style conversion of the Huron Blackheart model.  Not sure what he is going to be yet. Chaos sorceror? Aspiring champion type fellow? Just a squad leader? We'll see. Maybe I'll do some play testing at some point to find out how he might work best.

Anyway. Here are some pictures that I took the other week. I may have ingested some ale during these proceedings, so please forgive the camera shake!

I've had this model for a few months now.  My original idea for putting 

him into my Death Guard was to get the River Troll vomit from the plastic 

kit and have it spewing out of the nozzle in the palm of his big power claw 

type affair. Wasn't too sure if would look as cool as it sounds 

though, and didn't want to spend £20-odd quid for the privilige of finding out!

I've given him a Black Templars sword arm with the insignia chopped away.
I do enjoy the idea of him having his sword chained to his wrist. I've also
given him a Death Guard shoulder pauldron.

Chaos Lord of Nurgle - birthday present

So, it was my birthday the other day, and my bestest oldest friend made this for me as a present.

I hope he doesn't mind me posting this up - I think it's ace.

Mad props to Tom Nicholson - "you the man", as they say in that American street poetry that's so popular these days.

Not dead, just busy...

Hello the few that read this...

I am not dead, I've just been really busy with various stuff like work, birthdays and drinking heavily.

Fear not, I predict a return to the virtual world in the very near future.

Word.

I am still flying the flag for all things Nurgle. I promise.

Another 3D Death Guard sketch

I've blue-tacked another couple of fine gentlemen. Continuing the theme of yesterday's (or was it the day before?) post.

Again I've used MaxminiEU Biohazard heads and backpacks.  I'm really into these, they give an interesting look to the miniature. Heavy duty breathing apparatus that seems to be powered by a personal furnace.

If you like this stuff, then you can find it here: MaxminiEU

I've also used Anvil Industries Steam Lord medieval legs, which I think give a nice pre-Heresy feel to the models.  You can find their stuff on eBay, or on their website: Anvil Industry

Anyways, here are some pics.

Before I glue this together, I will drill out the bolter barrel. 

This chap is carrying a flamer, which you can't tell too well from

this angle

The plan with this one is to link the under-slung canister on the
flamer to the large tank on his back by means of some type of
pipe or tube or fuel line

Death Guard 3D sketch

Here's a 3d sketch of a marine for my Death Guard army. It's not glued together or owt. It's held in place with blue tac and sheer will power.

I've used a pair of 'Medieval' Steam Lord legs from Anvil Industries, a 'Biohazard' head and back pack from MaxminiEU, the power axe from the GW Huron Blackheart miniature and some standard GW marine and chaos marine parts.

Death Guard marine with plasma #2

Here is something else I did this week.

It's a Death Guard marine (big surprise) with a plasma.  I think I managed a better job on the energy coil of the plasma gun this time around.

If you want to see how badly I did it last time, you need to look at this post:
the other dude with a plasma

But anyway, here is a couple of pics.

Here he is with his mate, #7

Death Guard marine #7

Yes, I counted them up the other day.  I now have an accurate idea of how little of this force I have painted.
I really ought to stop building stuff for a bit and do more painting.]

But, hey, I really quite enjoy building stuff.

Anyway, I worked on this guy earlier this week, so I thought I'd put a few pictures up.  As standard, I've not painted the base. Again.  I really need to figure out exactly what I want to do with these bases.  Ideally I want to tie them in some how with the waterworks themes bases I've mounted some of the other stuff on.  If anybody has any bright ideas, I'd love to hear them!
