Hi Warmaster, impressive stuff all the way - especially the spikes on the Chaos Warlord in the middle of the group of three. ?
I'd go along with nealhunt's suggestion of a largish demolisher - but here's another idea: as nealhunt pointed out, the Subjugator and co. are the epitome of Slaaneshi warmachines. A larger version could be built up from an Eldar WH40K Wraithlord or War Walker - if you choose the latter course, the pilot could be replaced by a mechanical head, or a daemonette, or... (plot, plot) a Necron fused to the machine (great conversation piece, that!). Add a pair of claws (from a WH40K Dark Eldar ?Talos?) or, better still, two pairs, a la Keeper of Secrets. And for that Chaotic look, one pair would be mechanical, the other organic - e.g. from the WH40K Tyranid Carnificious character Old One Eye, or from a WHFB Tomb Scorpion.
Will you be creating mechanical beasties for Nurgle, or stick to the Plague Tower? A Great Rusted One? I have trouble with a Nurgle war machine concept, bec. each time I try to imagine one I just see a green polluted Gargant....

Well I don't blame you Primarch. Setting up your armies does take considerably more spare time than the rest of us 
Cheers!

I'm still trying to decide on what camera to buy. It seems if I want really good macro and zoom I won't get away cheaper than 600 euros.

You don't need _that_ high a macro or zoom to take good pics of your minis- my Sony P-52 was less than ?200, has a 2x optical zoom and 3.2mp... and the photos are great- iirc Tuff uses a 2.0mp camera and the results are fine as we've all seen (and envied ).

In fact its 2.3, but the camera I use is one of these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec....2912404
Retail on amazon of ?117
Personally I love it & its served me well. Only time I can remember that I've had a real problem with it was when I took it climbing once & got chalk in the memory card slot, otherwise never a problem (thats needed ?? to fix at least!)I've even survived off the measly 8Mb memory card right up until last weekend when I ordered a 128Mb one - I'm literally waiting for its first upgrade to arrive from amazon  _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Nearly right eh...

As we are talking about cameras, I am about to get a new camera...
After much thought it will be the new Canon EOS 300D which means I can use my current Canon lenses and flash if required and my extension tubes which means I can get in real close....
and though that shot was done on film, the main advantage of the EOS 300D is it's digital!
