40K assembly question

Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

I'd recently started looking for good prices for Plague marines when i saw you can convert vanilla CSMs using greenstuff. I have no experience with modeling clay but I'd be willing to try it.

But as for armament I know the sprues in the CSM box came with next to diddly. I'd want a multimelta at least. ><

and yes, I do feel a little envy over that winged Nurgle prince. (funny how the undivided one also has no wings included. :-? ) I was tempted to get noise marines but I hear they're pretty 'meh'

Ya, they aren't really the best choice for their price. I have two squads of six though. All armed with sonic blasters and blastmasters. Great looking minis, and very fluffy, but only really good for laying down lots of sonic weaponry. Their +1 initiative isn't all that great.

Here are my Death Guard:

friggin awesome wings on the prince, though, a bit large IMHO. Balrog wings I'm guessing?

Also, I think I'm seeing a possessed marine claw on the lead marine. I can also tell you're using the pre heresy scheme on them. odd choice but it works. 'Course, I love the death guard fluff. :grin:

The wings are from a Macfarlane Dragon I picked on discount lol!

The claw (count as powerfist) is a plastic CSM arm, with two Daemonette claws put together.

Ya, I love Heresy era schemes on my traitor Marines. My Emperor's Children are also painted in their pre-Heresy scheme. After reading the Horus Heresy books from Black Library, I just can't get enough Warhammer 30,000 :P

I have 2 of the 40k books. Storm of Iron (didn't realize it was a sequel when I picked it up) and Soul hunter. Iron warriors and the Night Lords/black Legion.

I see I'm going to have to think a bit more out of the box if I'm going to start converting. I never even thought about the slasnesh demonettes... Really, who cares about possessed? X3 (though they look friggin badass)

Miniwargaming.com is a good place I learned about, and what got me into 40k. But I loved this idea that they showed. I wanted Noise marines but I want to run a nurgle army. Well, an army based around Epidemius, tallyman of nurgle. And I loved the idea they presented: cross cult marines.

I can't suggest following the Youtube channel of Blue Table Painting enough. I've you don't already!

The owner, Shawn, shows an enthusiasm for the hobby like no other! These guys are a mini painting studio, that kick out some of the most impressive armies I've seen. They do plenty of in depth battle reports as well. I attribute most of my love for the hobby from them!

Some of those cross-cult marines are great! Miniwargaming.com is another great group in the hobby!

Oh yeah, they have YT channel too, they show off games, tactics, in game history. both fantasy and 40k.

best thing: they all operate a hobby shop specializing in selling models, including 40k. Another YT painter that cemented my desire to play was Girlpainting. She's done a lot of the chaos space marine legions, as well as other factions and other games.
