typhus WIP

i started repainting typhus yesterday. did some touch up today. lost my GS so i cannot finish his base like i had planned on. it amazes me how long it takes to make something look filthy.

while contemplating my boredom with painting red i decided to prep up my forgeworld nurgle sorcerer. rather than screw up an expensive resin model i did a test paint on an old conversion i threw together. here it is.

WIP, chosen; there will be no forgiveness...

these are my fallen angels chosen models that i put together tonight. yes rabidchild, these are for your dark angels to hunt. i magnetized the special weapons just for fun.

the backpacks are just tacked on for effect. the models still need some cleaning and detailing.

in sickness and in blood, i do build, DEFILER!

i have spent the last few weeks fighting getting sick and losing. as much as i wanted to paint i could not focus. damn watery eyes and sore neck. however, i did get possessed by the urge to convert a defiler. i have never been satisfied with the original model. i loved all the bits but was left feeling, ehh, about the final result. the giant ape armed claws seemed goofy, esspecially for dread CC weapons. the head was akward and sitting on top of an obese hull, perfect for nurgle or orks mind you, not for anything else. so i put the project into the back of my mad brain to let it grow. after several years of ignoring it, it exploded out over the weekend. a few things inspired this conversion. first and foremost it was the genius of roy, he built a defiler with the head coming out of the front of the torso and mounted the cannon on the arm. BRILLIANT! second, i saw a few 4 legged conversions online and i realized that i could convert the front legs to be CC weapons. last, the lovely chaos models that forgeworld has released over the last few years. i had to order some bits to complete this model so now, i wait. for shoulder pads. thanks to rabidchild for donating the defiler kit. anyway, i know that my blog is like playboy, you all just visit for the pictures, so, here they are...

bloodletterS! the first 4.

glossed the black and purpled the tongues. i am not normally a fan of glossing my minis however, i feel that it gives the bloodletters an alien kind of feel. also glossing them reminds me of the character, darkness, from legend.
