Over the weekend I have been working away at a number of things.

Firstly the sixth possessed marine is coming along nicely. I try to put a decent amount of time into these sorts of minis because it’s pretty satisfying to see the end result, especially when they are all in a finished squad.

However I also try to keep in mind they are just table top minis, they aren’t showcase (by any stretch of the imagination). However these models really do deserve some more attention at some point in the future, and I may spend a week or so at some point just working on one model.

Additionally this weekend i cracked open the green stuff and got back into sculpting. It’s been an age since I did any sculpting and I want to get a bit more experience at it before attempting my landraider. First up was a converted banner arm for my possessed.

And secondly some rider legs for my biker champion (for when I eventually get round to doing some bikers).

Neither of these are finished, they need tidying up and more details added, but all in all it was a productive weekend!

Fifth possessed marine finished, really happy with how he turned out. This is a Tzeentch influenced marine, so I have one of all four gods, just have to work on an undivided guy now!

I now only have two more left to do, and then I need to either buy some more, or convert them to make them a full squad!

Not sure how I feel about the green goo. I tried to put it on the model sparingly so it suggests he is all plagued up, but not too much so that it makes him look more like a plague marine than a possessed Word Bearer.

Still, the goo itself is ace, will probably revisit some nurgle miniatures with it at some point in the future!

Nearly finished this guy. Need to do his back pack and touch up a few things like the bone spikes etc. Also need to add “special effects”. Something I’ve never done before but have decided to give it a go on this guy.

Working away in the evening on another possessed marine. This one has entered a dark pact with a nurgle daemon!

Well, this guy is pretty much finished. I need to fix the bone spine on the backpack, it’s too yellow for my liking. Also need to add some blood to the joints of the armour, to show how his body is struggling against the mutations he is suffering!

It’s been quite a while since I have painted anything, and I’m feeling a little out of practice. Dissertation has come and gone, and I have found an hour or so at the end of every day of exam revision to get a bit of painting in to wind down and let all the information sink in.

Out of all the possessed models I have, this was my “worst” model, I just don’t like the legs, they make no sense, even for a daemon infused monster!

Obviously not finished yet, but wanted to share my work in progress!
