A quest of chaotic compulsions (painting/gaming blog)

[wasteman]

Hi guys,
It's been ages since I've painted anything fantasy oriented, however, Age of Sigmar has got me all excited!
So I dug out my old Nurgle 40k daemons and gave them a refresh... then it all kind of got out of hand...

I'm not normally one to use special characters as I much prefure to sculpt my own characters, but this guy was just too cool. Giant Nurgling comander riding a giant magot monster?! Hells yeah!
Morbidex Twiceborn and plaguebearers:


Gave the bases on my nurglings and Great unclean one a refresh (they were bright green - no idea what i was thinking when i made that decision )


Picked up some of the Avatars of war 'corruptors of the apocalypse' last week- very cool minis! Also found my old Albion giant in bits and nurgled him up a bit:


Then decided to sculpt myself some trolls... because i like trolls


Got some other bits on the go including another troll, a hydra that needs a repaint, a chaos lord, and some skaven plague monks made from Hobbit Goblins...
...also may have pre ordered the Otherworld Skirmish game...

Please tell me you cast the trolls first before painting them and added them to your radtown stuff.
Also brilliant painting! great

[wasteman]

Thanks!
Sorry, I made a mould for one (which i then used as a dolly for these) but it's a real pain to cast and it's a little too similar to a gw troll. I plan on making some trolls for Wasteman at some point, but it won't be for a while. Think of these as a trial run... the next batch will be better.

Awesome army! You really did justice to those nurgle models.

Regarding the trolls, more direct copies of GW troll designs are happily out there, but if you'd want to be safe anyway, some small modifications to the heads would suffice.

Impressive sculpting and painting.

Is the great unclean one a scratchbuild?

[fairoaks024]

Those are fantastic, excellent work on the trolls

AWESOME!

[Elgis]

Really nice.. The luch vegetation on the base goes well I think and marks the out from most nurglite forces.

[DeafNala]

Your creations all boast some FANTASTIC brushwork & basing. VERY WELL DONE!

[wasteman]

Thanks a lot guys!

@weismonsters - The great unclean one is a bit half and half. Started as a normal one and i just kept sculpting bits on him. He may end up being a demoted to a daemon prince as he's looking a little tiny these days! 

Got some more pics today

First up is the start of my skaven allies. Made some plague monks from Hobbit goblins - just sculpted new heads and tails for them. Got a few more on the way. The vermin lord is made from a plastic balrog.

And Age of sigmar has given me an awesome excuse to use this bad boy:

Some good stuff here 

I really like the vermin lord conversion 

cheers

[wasteman]

thanks

With the delivery of my otherworld rulebook presumably drawing ever closer I decided to dig out some of my lord of the rings figures in anticipation. Fingers crossed should have enough to do a warband or two

[Elgis]

That balrog conversion is brilliant.

the two giants/ogres in the last pic- are they conversions or where are they from (are they lotr too)?

[wasteman]

thanks man
They are two of the trolls from the hobbit. Tom and Bill if i remember correctly. Got Bert kicking around somewhere too.

The Age of Sigmar & Other World's Rule Book certainly have inspired you to produce some OUTSTANDING creations. SO that's why everyone gets excited about new rules. One & all, VERY WELL DONE!
