Plague Marines

I decided last week that I fancied painting something a bit different to the normal humans and fantasy figures I've been on with recently - here's what I pulled out of the "undercoated/painting in progress" drawers...

The 3 sons of Nurgle that I finished - lots of rust, verdigris and grime, my favourite things to paint!

More to go!

These Plague Marines were undercoated with Halfords grey primer, but I decided that I wanted to start them from black. I then gave everything a heavy drybrush of Tin Bitz, followed by a drybrush of Boltgun Metal in a few areas (blades, guns, emblems, shoulder pad trims etc.) and followed that up with a verdigris wash over everything. I then selected 3 to try out my planned scheme, using VMC Hull Red for their armour plates, a pinky/brown mix for the boils and other nastiness, then drybrushing, and finally rust, muck, all that good stuff! I have a good few more to go and I need to build a leader for them from the Blightkings boxed set (a wonderful set - another Christmas present!).

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hello folks - just wanted to write a quick post to a happy holiday season to any of my readers! It's been an okay year - I'm looking forward to what 2015 will bring! I'm personally a staunch atheist, but Christmas is a lovely time to get together with my family, exchange gifts and eat lots of good food! Here's a few items of my holiday haul...

Dreadball Mars Attacks Martian team!

Lovely laser-cut MDF measuring sticks for SAGA 

East-Meg Judges set and a box of Saxon Thegns

This disgustingly lovely kit! Lots of interesting parts here - my plan is to build 5 different characters from these!

A small horde of Reaper Bones - the fish warriors will become Deep Ones and the misc. other stuff is for various RPG characters, plus a Giant for Of Gods and Mortals

I do have some other stuff that are currently hurtling through the warp to me, which is nice! Stuff for a Lovecraftian project plus some of the lovely Tengu Miniatures zombies (now sold by CP Models).

Did you get any holiday goodies?
