The Worm Lords (deathguard)

[NAVARRO]

Hi folks, summer time vacations is here and I took the freetime to work on something really fun just for myself this time.

For some time I wanted to make a small terminator heavy deathguard army, so I started sculpting some normal Plague marines.
Without further delay I introduce you, The Worm Lords.

THis one was done many months ago for a project that never really took off so he was kind of the first to be done.

These next 3 Plague marines were done just recently in my vacations.

And the familly picture

To finish this squad I need to make 3 more Plague marines, 2 of them with meltas... and a Rhino.
So this is my last mini project and I\'m having lots of fun with it.

Last you say? I really hope you meant latest, because I have missed out on your skills! Lovely models!

 

[NAVARRO]

Silly me confused last with latest sorry... English is sometimes tricky

Thanks mate :thumbsup:

More pics of The Worm Lords, this time its all still very WIP.
So I have 2 ikea displays furniture side by side, they almost look like they are just one big display, although they have a major problem since you cant customize the shelfs height... so space between them is huge and really a wast of space.

After thinking about it I decided also to make a big display base for my Worm Lords that goes from on furniture to the other, one of them I started converting a landing pad so this is like a extra free shelf for the display, yay! I made pillars bigger and landing pad widder... yet all still in early wip but you can see how its all going to be on the displays ( I need some bastions)... also covered imperial eagles with nurgly things...

Heres some wip pics of the splitted display im builting

Oh and a comparative pic of marines sizes

And a wip of the melta marine head just as a teaser.

If im being annoying let me know hehe.

I just have to ask... have you been genetically enhanced with magnifiers or something? lol

Impressive work on all phases. Nice job.

That is seriously impressive! I wish i could sculpt that well, i can barely fill a seam..

Hi again, after a crazy week of real life work I finally got the time to unpack some goodies that arrived at my mailbox.
With a new bastion and a defense line I started bulking up the nurgle display dock...

I did a smaller tower to work as the plataform elevator for the dock.

Here\'s a wip view of the all thing planned( I do need to add lots of stuff before I call it done)

And I painted the interior of the bunker on top of the platform because even with the ceiling atached theres some grids there that let you look just a tiny bit inside... No one will notice it but I will hehe.

Thats all for now... Only thing annoying is the ton of eagles on these kits, that I need to cut off, so many of them and, Nurgle dunt laike it!

Sculpting looks quite good. My only issue is that the leg armor looks like it\'s bulging and isn\'t as \"crisp\" as the plastic models. Is this an effect you wanted? If so, disregard everything I said

If you don\'t want that bulge, it\'s real easy to correct by sculpting in several layers rather than one.

Keep it up,

Thanks mate, its not really something I planned or thinkked about much, my sculpting on these are just for fun and so its kind of intuitive.
Dont know how to explain in english, but its like when you start sculpting something and let yourself go without much brain activity ehehe ( sometimes results weirdish or just plain shittylol )... when I\'m happy with it I call it finished and go to next mini.

Believe me theres tons of mistakes there but in prespective I can live with them since they are kind of minor IMHO and making a army is diferent of making one mini.

 

[NAVARRO]

And I just finished painting the defense line that will be on the display... I tried to make the exterior sides more dusty and gritty and the insides cleaner and more scratchy.
I think I just found the colors combination for my display.
Feels good to paint again I havent painted nothing more serious for such a looong time... I think years.

 

[Trevor]

looks great, can\'t wait to see it finished.

Ok time for things get nutty concept wise... I always wanted to make crazy rhinos so this is my chance to have fun with them... the Rhino for my first squad is done and its like a huge fumigaror of nurgly gas, made a little nurgle acolit to distribute the nurgle smell to all that venture to get close to this rhino...

I know, I know... many if not all will hate this because its neither just a realistic troop armored vehicle or a so common possessed chaos rhino with lots of bubbles and blisters and things. What can I say, Its the way I see fantasy industrial rhinos and I\'m really going deep on my fraked up concepts ideas ehehe.

Let the Fumigation begin.

 

[A Luna]

Cool.
Very very cool


Like... ice cold

 

[Chrome]

Awesome! Where did you get/how did you make that tank?

 

[BPI]

I\'m not a big military history buff (or hardware fetishist!) like some of my friends but I do really like (?) the gas mask imagery I encounter. Those Death Corps Of Krieg minis are the only 40K stuff that really appeals (although the tank that\'s a huge pipe organ too is cool). There\'s something very resonant (& horrific) about the whole poison gas business. I don\'t know if it\'s reading Charley\'s War or just general UK education/culture; that image of people with gas mask cases over their shoulders whilst going about life during WWII?

Combine all of that with Nurgley tanks & full NBC suits for a bit of cold war paranoia, plus a little touch of government water-cannon crowd control & it\'s really cool & scary Perhaps a touch of Roger Rabbit too lol

Which is all to say I really like your Rhino Fumigator :beer: B.

 

[NAVARRO]

lol yeah its all a bit paranoic, but damn fun.

The fumigator deposit its from forgeworld support vehicles.

 

[jdmchaos]

wow,very cool.is this just a display piece?
i really like the creature guy and the guy with gas mask.if your painting is like your skulpting its gonna be awsome.

 

[SkelettetS]

woah that\'s some cool stuff! your sculpting is ace, love the guy with the gasmask!

 

[NAVARRO]

Another update, this time I have been priming and cleaning some biohazard barrels, painted some parts of one nurgle marine, painted a bit of both guns for the display and sculpted a more demonic head for another marine for this squad... all just fast wip pics to show were the project is atm.

 

[Ebonbuddha]

This is some amazing work. I love the heads that are all teeth and no eyes.
