Undecided at this point. The larger ones are likely to end up as more Chaos Spawn and possibly carriers for a War Altar. The smaller ones might end up as Zombies, drivers of Daemon Engines or even as Plaguebearers.

Love the eighties pop-colour..
Really gets an oldschool feeling going.

'The future's bright - the future's Bilious Green!'


Recent models all undercoated and bases done:




Plus a reference shot of the paints used so that I have some hope of getting similar colours again, although I did end up adding some dark green to counteract the mix starting off too orange.

How delightfully grotty!

Where are the skull piles from - Pendraken?

The skull piles are the old Epic Nurgling sculpts.

To be fair, they're just a bunch of random lumps until painted...

On that subject, some painting progress. The Nurglings are mostly done, the Vindicators have had one coat of green and the Spawn have had a couple of shading washes.

Aww! (blushes)

I got sidetracked by another related project that's been gestating for a year or more and finally coalesced last night - a Plagueship!





This tatty BFG model has been sitting in my bits box for a couple of years, waiting for me to find a good way to inflict Nurglification on it. If in doubt, add tentacles...

I think what really makes it is the 'axe-head' on the prow, from a Chaos Warrior model.


EDIT - the first photo shows it all Blutacked together, the second is glued together and ready to spray.

So I made a thing. The left half isn't finished so you'll have to imagine it's symmetrical.









The idea is to use it as a Blight Drone proxy, along the lines of a quadcopter - I've got enough packpacks for a full formation of five of them but the guns and heads would be different.

I'm quite pleased with how it came out even though it's still instantly recognisable as a Chaos backpack.


Then, in the middle of the night I had a brainwave and made another thing.





Although it's clearly a chopped up Nid Ripper, it's also instantly recognisable as being a Blight Drone! Especially if I apply some of the textured paint from the bases.

A couple more variations:






I think the Quadcopter design will go into storage for potential use as Helltalons down the line, or possibly a second formation of Blight Drones - the problem is that I only have six of the ducted fans and need another four. Does anyone have some spares? I think they're from a Drop Pod.
