Been very busy with other stuff, but I managed to make a bit more progress on Rhino Number One (I guess I'm going to have to come up with names for the vehicles, since I'm naming every damn member of each squad):

The Dremel came in very handy for making the holes from out of which the tumourous bulges emerge; I think between said tumourous bulges and the sunk-in holes with tendrils and moulds creeping out from them, I've finally managed to settle on the 'look' I'm after for my Nurgle vehicles. The pieces are only dry-jointed together at the moment, but I think I'll be able to start gluing it all together now I've got a handle on how to do the conversion in a way I'm happy with.

Ooh I like that! Might have to nick that idea of holes in hull.. never thought of that..

Cassarus · **Posted:** Fri May 08, 2009 11:27 pm

Yeah, I think I'll do that to

A bit more progress on the Rhino:

The left-hand side now matches the right, in terms of overall amount of detail. If you look at the flesh inlaid into the front section, I'm really happy with how the veins work on the bloated flesh underneath; I think that detailing may well become a regular feature of my Nurgle sculpting, I'm certainly planning to use it on bits of Lord Borborygmus when I get back to working on him. I also like the hint of pus-like fluids oozing out from around the edges of the door...

I realised that the work I'd done on the right side wasn't quite complete, given the way I'd removed some of the upper armour; this left a sightline that needed filling. What it needed was this:

Now you can see where the track continues up inside the armour housing of the vehicle. I think this little bit of detail makes it look a lot more mechanically credible and three-dimensional

I'm quite tempted to use the Predator turret base that comes in the Chaos Rhino box as a way to give the Havoc launcher a nice solid mounting; I need to think about that a bit first, though.

I've also started work painting my way through the mass of Plague Marine rebuilds. So far I'm just grinding through the boring bit, i.e. all the basecoating, but it's nice to see a real army-size mass of troops starting to take shape. I'll have at least 3 fully-converted 10-man squads of Father Nurgle's finest soon enough...

I've also started working on a bunch of original designs - not Games Workshop IP, this is stuff out of my head - which I'll be working on as part of my self-imposed 'improve my sculpting' program. I've decided on the first four things to be built, and am now getting the various bits of concept art I've done translated into basic armatures

More, as always, when I have it.

More cool stuff! any progress on the daemon prince yet?

I would love to learn to sculpt like this! Any time you decide to make a tutorial on your new techniques, let me know! (I've got a pred with a lot of small holes.

)

I browsed trough this whole thread and I don't know what to say.

This is really awesome. I saved every pic on my computer to have them for inspiration.
There isn't one miniature of yours that I don't like.

Keep up this quality and share it with us.

WOW!!! I am sorry I noticed your thread so late! It's amazing stuff. Your skills with greenstuff is amazing, makes me a novice! Congrats with your army being in the museum at WHW! I can see you are more in to modelling than painting. I hope to see some more models really finished. But other than that, great great stuff!

Morthin · **Posted:** Sun May 17, 2009 9:09 pm

Wow indeed!
This is the kinda of stuff that is an inspiration. Fantastic work!
I might steal that hull-hole idea aswell for the future

nurglephill · **Posted:** Mon May 18, 2009 4:33 pm

superb, as ever. I have nothing esle to say really, except thanks for sharing!

And I have used the pred base for my current rhino's havoc mounting. I think it works well
