Keeping it gribly!

Nurgle.. despite not having a great deal in any game system I have a secret love of painting all things Nurgle.
I've painted my wife's Plague Bearers, my brother in law's Plague Marines and I'm currently working on Epidemius for my wife.
I recently finished the new Plastic Nurgle Lord for WFB. I'm not fielding nurgle but I couldn't resist the model.

I did a bit of research before painting on putrefaction in human tissues to get the colours right. Yellow mixed into rotting flesh and purple washes helped to add to the necrotic look of it's tissues. I also mixed up a glaze using gloss varnish to give the innards a nice gooey look.

My ultimate test for any nurgle model is my wife. If she refuses to pick up the model I know I've done a good job!

Nurgle Chaos Lord

Space Wolf Dreadnought

So, not posted in  a while, life 'n all that!

Been working on a conversion for my Space Wolves army, I purchased the Furioso Dreadnought kit while my brother in law pick up the Venerable Dreadnought.

After some furious bits swapping and chopping I was able to come up with this...

I felt any half decent wolf dread needed a big choppy claw to complete it. Add in a few furs left over from my Chaos Marauders and your away. Still working on  a name for him though, will have to dig out my Norse mythology books again.

Cozza's next xmas present!

Well I'm impressed!

Liquid Green is Awsome

OK, so with the now much maligned finecast shift this year GW have came up with the great plan of letting you buy tools to fix their mistakes. Nice work guys!
However one of these new release is in my opinion amazing.

Liquid Green Stuff.

It's...green!

I've used this to do a couple of projects so far, most notably the Doom of Malan'tai. It's a fantastic product, easy to use. Far easier to get into tight gaps with a brush rather than smoothing tool.
The filler is also waters soluble, allowing it to run into gaps and with a bit of light brush work it can be blended out to mesh seamlessly with the surface of your model.

The price (£2.30 for 12ml) is very reasonable too.
Regular kneadite green stuff is still an excellent option for sculpting and filling but this stuff adds a level of fine control that is invaluable.

Tyranids again (but not mine).

Hello again folks,
We had a visit this weekend from my friend Flint. Haven't seen him for ages and it was great to catch up and talk bollocks all night. Now, Flint is a fellow 'Nid player mainly due to his fascination with all things gribly (huge Cthulu fan). He also has the willpower of a crack addict when it comes to geek stuff.

Flint bought a couple of bits including a Zoanthrope and asked me if I could turn it into the "Doom of Malan'tai"

I thought it sounded like a nice challenge so here's what I came up with for him.

I hope Flint likes it as much as I do. He can now add it to the army I've already painted for him.

Tyranids continued..

So I promised to put up more 'nids and here we go.
first of all is a request from a mate who wanted to see my Old One Eye.
I assumed this wasn't a come on and he meant the carnifex instead.

He's a great beast and I was so lucky to pick him up listed as "bitz" for £6 on eBay.

Death Leaper & Lictor

not had a chance to field these guys yet so still to see there effectiveness, still they are great looking models.

Death Leaper

Lictor

Tyrant Guard

Tyrant Guard

Probably one of my favourite 'nids. They just exude brute force and aggression. Never let the Hive tyrant go without them.

Genestealer
Usually field two good sized squads of these from reserve or Infiltrate to mess up my opponent's day.

Genestealers

Excuse the brood lord in back, his arms are unpainted after a swap out for a pair that didn't come with the kit.

Hive Tyrant

Hive Tyrant

In a moment of weakness I actually included guns on this guy, twin linked death spitters. Then I manned up and replace it with a full set of scything talons. Much better!

So that's all for now, hopefully soon I'll put up some pics of my nearly complete marine army.

Laters!
