Greater Deamon of nurgle almost done/ Second plague marine army about to start.

Good Morning Warhammer folks,

Good news the greater deamon from FW is almost ready, he only needs some pigments on the sword and some gloss on his exposed flesh. Have a look:

Better pictures when all of them together soon 5 norks to paint left and thats the army and board done.


Second Nurgle Army
Because the above army was an experement and soon going up for sale, I want to make make a nurgle army with epidemius focusing on plague marines, this might change if nurgle terminators get FNP in the new book.
But for now it looks like 3-4 units of 7 plague marines and 1 x7 plaguebearers.

I dislike metal, I' dont want to pay a fortune for FW resin crack, and cant be bothered with overpriced failcast. I actualy like the 3rd edition plaguebearers sculpted by Jes Goodwin or maybe I am just a hipster.
25 out of the 28 planned 3 could not be restored



Thats all for now.

Nurgle armies on parade Progress 4. Flyers

Good morning everyone,
It was realy hard getting out of bed today. I did manage to squezze some more hobby time this weekend,

So during the week I painted 3 blight drones and on Saturday I had some fun with the glue gun. I will try and cover the glue-slime with a mix of gloss varinsh and green hoping to perserve some transparency.






Today I will be painting the greater Deamon,

When Chaos arrives where will you be?

So rumors want Chaos Space Marines to be coming in September. I want to set some questions and would like some answers, please take 2 minutes to reply.

What was wrong with the current codex? Do we want a new book just because its old?

  • I think the fact that you could mix gods in the list was a bit extreme. 
  • Also some things seemed so good they made everything else redundant. For example demon prince with lash, I played them and loved them in my slannesh warband. Another example are obliterators the Swiss knife shooter makes havoks look bad. And they just got better with their terminator armour.
  • Demons were pretty useless in the codex other for some fluff lists but now you can ally with Demons. 
  • Most of the characters are lacking cool factor, but I think this is been amended in the new edition.
  • Also I want to make a nightlord Warband based on the nightlord series for a while now, but up until now I could not, or atleast not a competitive one.
1) What do you think? What was bad with the old book?


2)What are you looking forward too with the new release (based on the rumors)?

  • I would like to get 2 boxes of the possest raptors to create the bleadding eyes( nightlord demonic raptors)
  • See if the new book can make a good nightlord list.
  • See how it will affect my nurgle army and my slannesh army.
  • Cultists
  • See this new flying mashine. Can I finaly but a chaos lord on a mechanical dragon?
  • New plastic kits.
  • I would also like to see a nightlord special character. 
3) What would you wish for?

4)What will you be building when chaos hits your store?

  • Will you be using them for basing for your ultramarines?
  • Will you start a new army, with an allience?
  • Will you continue an army and add stuff?
  • Just ignore it? 

I am probably going to continue my nightlords 



Why I have not yet airbrushed this yet is beyond me.
I am also thinking of a wordberers demon allience and an IG(or cultist)-demon alliance with some fortification

Nurgle armies on parade Progress 3. Display board with models on it!



Still need to do some painting, there are 2 more blight drones missing I will paint those with the greater deamon, but before that orks are going to be painted. I am finishing green stuff-ing them today.

Hope you like it.

As for the board If you look at older posts you can see various stages, I used a glue gun to do some streams of  the green fluid, then airbrushed the board and finaly poored some green looking resin.

Chaos Marine September 8th


 From Faeit 212.

Faeit 212: Warhammer 40k News and Rumors: Updated!!!! Chaos Marine September 8th, and More: You wanted more details, and lucky for us, we just received a response. The Chaos Space Marine codex release date and more details on ...


AVE DOMINUS NOX! AVE! AVE! AVE!

Nurgle armies on parade Progress 2.

Little progress on the board this weekend, I was away on Saturday and on Sunday I got busy creating slab stones for my garden.


The board will display 1750points + a greater deamon of nurgle forgeworld which I think is 777 points.
So once dry I will spray paint then add some goo and green resin. I also need to drill and pin each model, good all dremel will do all the hard work. Also I am buying a new glue gun today.

 Non Wargamming topic.

The majority of Sunday was spent working on another project that pleases the fiancee, stepping stones for the front garden! The are two path ways  to Helen shed/office one from the garage and one from the house.
So I thought to design the two tiles as two pieces of a pizzle that join at the end a bit like Helen and me that are paths are seperate and then join and become one.

Designing the 2 tiles.



Building the tile.


Ready to pour the silicone.
Demolded this morning. My biggest mold yet.
 Next step will be to oil it and add the cement. Hope it all goes well.
