6mm Epic Nurgle Goodness, latest project

My crack like addiction for 6mm models for use in Epic Armageddon continues this post with some pictures of my current W.I.P project A Nurgle Chaos Space Marine force.

I'm undecided on whether or not I'll be taking this army to Castle Assault this year so I've been fleshing out options and sourcing formations so that I can have a bit of variety in play testing in the lead up to the event.

So lets get stuck into what you're here for...

Base coats ... Base coats everywhere. Something different here I'm using Vallejo Surface Primer German Dark Yellow as a base for the whole army.

Gone ahead here and finished an Infantry stand and Rhino so I had a standard to work to

Washes are key for epic
 
Getting to work picking out details


Bunch of plague zombies stand ins base coated here

The next couple of photos show models I've pinched from the Warmachine range to use as Plague Towers as per NetEA Death Gaurd list. It's a bit of a stretch scale wise but i think i'm going to get away with it they're a good size for a 6DC war engine. Sourcing actual plague towers was proving pricey!


So far I'm having trouble writing half decent all comer lists with more than 1-2 of these chaps in there, but it'll be handy to have a third should i chose to up the cheese factor.


Now painting the infantry in formation lots, here I've picked out the weapons after a wash.


Supreme commander stand. Bit of a rush job but I'm happy with how its turned out so far.


Another shot of the rhinos for some reason

Lastly below are a couple of shots of a model I'm using for a great unclean one, Fun times painting this filthy bastard. Even though I haven't written a list yet with him in it. 





Well thanks for stopping by for another quick blog update. I'm looking forward to finishing this force I'm trying to source a few more models at the moment to get more variety into the list so let me know what you think so far.

The Feral Ork Project Complete!

Hi Team,

I've been smashed with work over the last few months so unfortunately I haven't kept on top of the blog, I have kept record of what hobby I have done over the last few months however.
I Certainly intend to get back to regular posting and bring you guys up to speed with my current projects and everything in between

So as per my last post, I was working on and eventually completed my Feral orks for Heavy Bolter 2017 (An Epic Armageddon 3k tournament in Victoria, Australia)

Here's some pics for work in progress and some photos of the completed force.


Microworld games really nailed these 6mm fantasy boar boys that were perfect for Boarboyz formations as sourcing GW's plastics can be frustrating / expensive considering I'd need so many...

I decided on 2 models to a base (using MDF cut to 20mmx40mm) as I felt 3 was too crowded for me and I think I just got away with it...

6 of the 8 formations of 5 units I ended up building.


The first test of what I was aiming for on the boarboyz before production and batch painting begins.

Casually interrupted by some idiot burning toast in my building..
Supa Stompas / Steam Gargants  hit the production lines









Completed army, based and varnished.
I borrowed half finished orks from my Warhorde orks list, unfortunately I dont have any W.I.P of them, but they basically required some finishing touches and then a lot of basing.




Thanks to JB for the 3 photos above of the army on display at the event


I was extremely humbled and a bit surprised to pick up "the artist" trophy at the event for best painted force picked by the attendees.
I was hard pressed to fault the armies there as there were some really great examples and a lot of effort went into all the armies there, really putting Epic Armageddon, that "dead" game on display.
