Hi folks, summer time vacations is here and I took the freetime to work on something really fun just for myself this time.

For some time I wanted to make a small terminator heavy deathguard army, so I started sculpting some normal Plague marines.
Without further delay I introduce you, The Worm Lords.

THis one was done many months ago for a project that never really took off so he was kind of the first to be done.

These next 3 Plague marines were done just recently in my vacations.

To finish this squad I need to make 3 more Plague marines, 2 of them with meltas... and a Rhino.
So this is my last mini project and I'm having lots of fun with it.
(please dont ask me for other projects i have on my table this is vacations time )

nurgle FTW!!!

Great sculpts!!

Just a ting I was wondering. Those metal "tubes" sticking out of one guys face - How did you make those? Is it some sort of premade wire or have you made em' yourself?

I Like the organic parts, the faces are great. But imo some of the armourplates and details lack a bit of sharpness, which would make them look even better

That's guitar string

Wow, those sculpts look great so smooth and clean too. Can't wait to see them painted up. Im guessing you'll be converting up the rhino you have planned to fit with them?

They are guitar strings mate

Yes theres lots of mistakes and errors on these, but I think its part of the balance between making a 50 figure army and not just one mini... some errors i just let them slide for the sake of ending this on my lifetime

Artica yes Im making the rhino atm and I can tell you this, space marine or tank modelers purists will hate me so much since I'm doing something really stupid with my planned 3 rhinos for the 3X 7man squads... yet its damn fun and its for my personal collection so as long as I'm happy with my silly stuff I guess no harm is done!

Nurgle FTW! ( I have the tendencie of falling in crazy projects instead of finishing the ones I started XD )

technically they're fine, but there's something about them which makes me think: something's not quite right.
may be the poses (very expressive and dynamic), maybe the soft and bloated armor, don't really know.

As I said - it's something about the overall composition and stances, not the quality...

Sorry you dont apreciate the concept mate, not much I can do about it... In fact I think things will get worse

so bring them in

No worries, your curls will be all flat by the end of this blog thingy
