I really dig the negavolt cultists. I'm actually ok with the poses. And that living cabling thing for hair is just too cool. I like the different colors for cakes too. They really make a bold statement.

Edit: colors for cables.

This relapse is a big one. I just went out and got...alot of stuff. Nurgle's rot is really setting in. Everyone goes through a nurgle phase right? right?

Do you feel a trembling in your hands, a rising fever and the urge to paint a variety of greens and browns? Definitely Nurgle's Rot I'm afraid. The only remedy is large doses of promethium, served at around 3000+℃.
:lol:

Some of those new Nurgle minis are awesome, from the Glotkin to the new Death Guard, GW have produced some fantastic minis for the range.

@Primarch/MIJ: Thank you for your expressions of support. Yes I'm really feeling it now. I will be sure to attend the 12 step programme for reintegration into
disgustingly glorious hobby mania.

mm next to the Great Unclean One, which without 5 seasons of breaking bad I would never have gotten to this level of completion, the Death shroud terminators are my favorite nurgle/death guard miniatures so far. The fluff in the novels say they've been bloated by the power of chaos, but they really are the biggest marines I've ever assembled. I mean, I'm talking bigger than Custodes big, and that's already pretty big for a space marine.

Welcome back to the fold, jus! I can't wait to see what you cook up.

After a quick paint job on the ur-ghuls from Blackstone, I got started on Taddeus the Purifier, not-at-all skeevy old ministorum priest, and spent about as much time getting just his robes almost done as I spent on the ur-ghuls altogether. :lol:

Earlier this week I finished these chaps off.
6 Policemen well armed and ready to fight crime.
Image
Here we have 3 SWAT officers. I'm thinking to name one Poindexter. :D
Image
And here are 2 beat cops and Detective 'Filthy' Harold Calhoun.
Image
All of the figures are from North Star's range for A Fistful of Kung Fu. On the whole they were clean, crisp casts with the exception of the detective who had a small miscast on the side of his face. Rather than risk filing it off and removing all of the details I painted it to look like he'd been beaten and his face was swollen. Now he has a shotgun and is out for some payback. To jazz his base up I added a chalk outline from a crime scene along with some dried bloodstains.

Now you just need to add Street and Hondo! :D

Cool stuff Prim! Looking forward to giving the game a whirl again soon.

@Jus - Theoretical - "Grandfather Nurgle's gifts will give me untold power!" :twisted: Practical - "Having unending flatulence is actually a bit of a err...bummer!" :? - :D Good luck with the next batch of painting. The Great Unclean One looks fantastic.

@Prim - looking good! I do like how you worked with the miscast - I'd probably just have thrown my hands up.

A couple more finished duders for Blackstone - Ur-ghuls;
Image
(Still mad they killed my character...)

And Taddeus, who has strong opinions about Purification (and, by all appearances, donuts):
Image
(The servoskull is actually bone-colored, it's just in the shadow of the book.)

I also got a squad of cheap Intercessors in the mail (Dark Imperium models are going very affordably right now - a second squad of Inceptors is also probably in my future) to make up a squad of Veterans for if I want to use the Indomitus Crusade special formation rules at some point in the future. They're fairly low on the paint queue though - I want to finish Blackstone by, say, Nagoya game day in February, then finish up the second unit of cavalry for my Stormcast, before getting to work on them.

Edit: Also I just remembered I have two Shadespire warbands to finish. :lol: And I'd been doing so well about keeping my paint queue short!
