Hey guys, here's my first official "army blog" on this website! So... Without further ado and crazyness, I present the first part of my warband!












More will be done when I have greenstuff, I also have tons of more marines "rusted", but it's way too much for my lazyness right now to post. Maybe later. =D

That should turn out to be some nice rust effect! If you're worried about the sand not sticking, the first layer of paint should help hold it on as well. That's some good sand. The stuff I have is way too fine and homogeneous.

Haha. Want some when I send you toenail clippings? =P

I think sand and toenail clippings would make a great rust effect

Okay. Next time I trim those puppies I'll let you know. We can even meet in SA and put them on your bases! =P

Well OTP thats a very cool start! Good luck sir

Thank you. My 200 grams of greenstuff should be getting in Friday.... Maybe Saturday? I'll start the REAAALLL work then. =P

Excuse my double-posting, but AAGGGGHHH!!!!! I didn't get my greenstuff in yesterday... So... There's always today! Stupid USPS...

Also..... Any ideas what to do with where my Razorback's turret used to be? I'm thinking hatch made out of a mouth. =)

Anyone have better ideas? (Also, any more ideas for me as far as converting the Rhino?)

Ahh for the turret replace it with a bit of card and plop a havoc launcher in it. I have done that and i think its COOL! like an old missing tank thats between a rhino and a razor/whirlwind

Haha. Don't like my giant mouth idea?

Nope. Not a big fan of that kinda nurgle...although my DP has a head coming out a giant mouth...but thats besides the point

No it isn't! Lol.

But, eh, I guess to each his own... That's MY kind of Nurgle... But with all the other kinds too. =D

The problem with the giant mouth idea is that it is difficult to pull off successfully. Most of the time it comes off looking really cartoony- not that there is anything wrong with that, since that's how GW/40k started (and debate-ably still is). If that's your thing, go for it, but a piece of plasti-card is a fine replacement for the top hatch, especially with tons of rust-effect.

I don't care how whacky it is! Daemons aren't normal! Lol.

Sounds good then, go for it. Like I said, some people go for whacky/cartoony and that's fine. It's not my favorite, but I'm more of a realist (as much as can be had for this game, anyway!) and prefer a natural/believable look. Not that I don't appreciate the old-school cartoony look. The 1st ed. Plaguebearers come to mind, and I have some. I don't use them though because it isn't the theme I'm going for.
If it's themed well and integrates into your army then it works.
