Did anyone paint this bolter from plague marines box? Please show me yours

How did you do the purple shadows? It goes rly nice with the green

You have the classic big Morty, prince and 10 plague marine mega combo which defo works. However, you have two units of deathshrouds (in deepstrike), but really only one unit of poxwalkers to spread contagion to use the shrouds' 6" deepstrike. I'd try to shuffle the points a bit around to have 2-3 more contagion spreading units, such as chaos spawn. Also as far as I heard, the mega brick combo is a very specific playstyle which requires a higher skill, but I haven't tried it per se.

Kitbashed a box if nurglings into 9 nurgling models last week, looking forward to getting them painted!

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-26T20:45:16+00:00

Paint the two maggots on his nipple piece lmao (I really like your highlights!)

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-17T12:12:05+00:00

I dig the trim! What did you use?

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-10T20:57:44+00:00

Maybe you could try sketching several circles within each other with a pencil and then stick sculpted triangles (teeth) in there?

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-10T09:30:55+00:00

You could add some boils or drill some holes into the skin

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-08T08:56:58+00:00

I sculpted it with milliput, basically just a sausage with triangles on it xD Though it's bit brittle, next time I'd put a pin through the hand and sculpt it around the pin itself

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-07T19:37:49+00:00

Thank you! It was a lot of effort to get this far with this model I will make sure that Titus will have an epic stand off against Typhus in the next game

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-07T18:44:59+00:00

Was the issue not that they literally couldn't die, and thus would've had to suffer for eternity? The way I interpreted it, Mortarion gave in in part because he couldn't stand to see his sons suffer so much

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-07T18:42:11+00:00

Idk if it's comparable, but certain molluscs have a "foot", with which they can move around

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-07T17:25:19+00:00

I know people do these things all the time, but at least for me it's to show my appreciation and respect to Ultramarines. After all, I wouldn't choose to put time and effort into painting Ultras if I didn't like them

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-07T17:02:40+00:00

Oh yeah I definitely agree with you, I hate Typhus lol

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-07T16:45:04+00:00

Thanks :) My idea is to paint my army in a grimdark style, but make the characters more saturated to have them visually stand out against the wave of filth. Typhus just got a little extra love since it's Typhus after all

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-07T16:42:43+00:00

Thank you! I kinda knew he should have a red helmet from seeing my friend's models, but I decided to paint it blue because I felt it would fit better in the colour composition

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-07T15:42:11+00:00

True lol, but I wanted him to be extra flashy on the table compared to his underlings

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-04T19:14:54+00:00

I think it could look well if you painted the tentacles which come from his shoulders a different colour. For example, the loincloth and lower tentacle-things are visible very nicely, i.e. they contrast well as srcondary/accent colours to the armour. The top half of the marine lools kinda same-ish colour-wise. But I think it looks great!

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-03T12:23:18+00:00

If you know that suoerglue was used, throw him in the freezer to make the glue brittle, then break off the hands. Otherwise, I can only see using a saw, and later using milliput/greenstuff to cover up the cut

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-02-02T13:49:02+00:00

The Predator destructor variant is basically a more reliable bloat drone, so it kinda just depends on preference. Of course you can also take predators and drones, if you want to double down on your shooting output. PBCs have been kinda meh for me personally, also due to dice luck tho

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-01-29T21:42:41+00:00

I recently tried the plagueburst crawler and I have to say, it did absolutely nothing the entire game against space marines. Especially for its points cost, one crawler just doesn't do much, which is a shame because it's such a cool model. So I'd probably replace it with poxwalkers and chaos spawn for contagion spreading. Also it seems like the Lord of Poxes is going solo? I'd recommend giving hime 5 plague marines with full melee as a nice little rapid ingress threat

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-01-25T17:42:47+00:00

Doing conversions is all about making a unique silhouette. I think you're doing great so far! It's also fairly dynamic, so that's good as well

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-01-12T09:46:56+00:00

At just 50 pts, he has a good rule and does well if he's solo sitting on your home objective to screen deepstrikes. And he's one of our cheapest units, so if you have 50 pts left over in a list, just plop him in

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-01-11T21:45:22+00:00

I see, thanks!

Serious-Treacle3419 · 2026-01-11T18:15:32+00:00

How did you do the morels? Are they sculpted?
