I am not really that happy with the finished product because I don’t feel like I spent enough time on this guy. However I am pretty happy with the claw.
I may give myself a small break from the Possessed marines. I love the models but each one takes much longer than a regular marine because of all the extra details! I like committing to each one with as much focus as I can muster and I know in a week or so my painting time will be drastically reduced due to work!
Apologies again for the poor picture, the light is pretty bad in the north of England again!
Still, pretty happy with him. Just three more to do of these chaps and then I can either finished the remaining possessed marines I have, or the Forge World Plague marines!
Apologies for the low quality picture but the light here at the moment is not great at all.
I used some more of the nurgle rot special effects paint on this guy to get a feel for how I want to do them in future. I also don’t like the green gloves so future minis will have black ones or red. Little too much green on the mini and sadly the rot effect doesn’t show up very well due to the quality of the picture.
It’s been a while since I put brush to model due to focusing on gaming. I hadn’t played a great deal during sixth edition, and have found myself a great new club (Wardens of the North for those interested!) to really get into seventh.
Something that became glaringly obvious in my last three games was that the Chaos Codex is shit, and my army was composed largely of the shittest things in it. So in order to give myself a new edge in games I have decided to paint up some stuff that will make me slightly more competitive.
Behold, Word Bearer Plague Marines – The Infected!
Just started the squad. These guys are some classic Plague Marines from way back in second edition (and older). I have some Forge World Plague Marines on the way too!
I wonder if I’m the first person to paint Plague Marines red?!
Quick update, this guy is nearly finished. Need to glaze the hands a little more to get a darker flesh tone, and obviously need to touch things up here and there. Other than that I need to do the base then build four more and then squad complete!
