Nurgle Preditor

[night goblin01]

Hi there Just brought my self a chaos preditor. I\'m looking for some conversion Ideas to make it nice and nurgley.
I haven\'t realy seen any thing I like so far and wondered if any one had some ideas.

I\'ll up date the post with pictures as people give me some suggestions.

also check forge world out for stuff hope that helps you out

I prefer a less organic style for my Nurgle stuff going for a neglected industrial look.
If you want it to be possessed then definately tentacles and open sores etc are the way to go. Exposed machinery, cracked casings and low tech \"repairs\" will make it look like it\'s been in service in the eye for 10k years. The trick is not to make it look overboard because it turns Orky
A couple of examples to show what I mean:

The photos are rubbish but they\'ll hopefully help to give you some inspiration

i agree with undave you have to look at the death guard fluff, they had only small amounts of embelishment on the armour, i have done some work on a nurgle dreadnought recently and to make it look more possesed i used parts from nid sprues the bigger guns have sick pipes on i used them going from the exhaust stacks back into the body shell, i depends what look ur after. hope i helped

Ok so I have put the pred together now and I\'ve started to detail the model, a few spikes have been added and I have chipped away at the hull to give it an aged/weathered look.

I\'m waiting for my green stuff to come today I\'ve orders a meter roll of the stuff can\'t have to much!

Here is some pic\'s so far as always comments appreciated

mouldlines! lol

Are you sure about using the snake/dragon/demon heads for the barrel tips?

they ARE cool, but not so Nurgley...

 

[night goblin01]

We\'ll I though the stubby dragon heads were a more fitting for nurgle than the longer ones.

I\'ll get rid off those mold lines before i start the green stuffing. To be honest it was late and I was tired so I took some snaps befor I went to bed.

Have faith DaN man It\'ll all come together.

hey! that dread is reeeally cool man!

Ok so I did a bit more last night and have now decided I want the preditor to represent being possesed by a demon
So some of the things I\'ll add are chains to the back door and the hatch on the turret to show the demon being held in side.
I also painted cracks on the hull to mark out where the green stuff cracks are going to go.

I\'m ganna fill the hull with something that looks like a demon
these are my original Ideas using the carapace from the Nid Carnefex and sculpting some green stuff tenticles etc...(green stuff still hasn\'t arrive - Roymail obviously serving the dark gods now days

 

[SteadyEdd]

That looks nice so far man. Im liking the chipped effect. Id like to see how you do your green-stuff cracks too. Good luck on the inside and the rest of it for that matter.

 

[philologus]

It cracks me up that you asked for ideas and Yetie provides a link of a model you commented negatively on. Poetic Justice? Or just Ironic?

i have to agree its a bit of bad form. although it makes me more interested in his conversion and how it will turn out.
on the next episode of DAYS OF OUR LIVES
du dah du dah duuuuuuuu


good luck
:beer:

I have gone a bit mad on the modelling of the pred this weekend and ended up getting it to paint...But like an idiot:duh:??? I didn\'t take any photos of the in between parts woops... But hey I suppose the end result is what\'s important so i\'ll post some more pics tomorrow so you can see some of the detailing I\'ve done.

 

[Bill]

lol He commented on it after Yetie gave the link..

 

[Yetie]

I just read the comments left on said mini, and I wish I had\'nt posted the link to help out now.
Constructive comments maybe but down right rude there is no need for in my opinion any way!!!

 

[night goblin01]

Cheer up yettie at least It gave some other members a giggle. I only said what other people must have been think the other links were good tho lol...

 

[night goblin01]

Ok so they are a bit late and I\'ve skipped through a bit fast but heres the pics

Sorry its a bit over exposed

 

[DaN]

Those cracks seem a bit too curved in places... Might\'ve been more effective to have them straighter and more jaggedy (Is that a word?)

Also, I\'dv built up the edges a bit more, as it doesn\'t look right only having the edges raised...

The carnifex plates look quite good so far, but I can see a bit of a gap round the edge.

Colourwise- nice and nurgley for the base coat.

 

[night goblin01]

Well we can all be perfect. I\'m really happy with how its turned out. can\'t wait to get the painting finished.

 

[DaN]

I think you should stick some breakfast cereal to it and give it a big mouth at the front lol
