WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_13

I then highlighted with Vallejo Pale Blue Grey, and gave all the panels and metal an oil-wash of sepia. I left it overnight for the turpentine to fully evaporate. I used first cotton ear-cleaners, dipped in turpentine to clean the excess… Don’t do that. I had to spend an hour cleaning small fivers out of […]

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_12

I needed to look at it passed it ass-face stage as soon as possible, so I rushed finishing the base-coat of the main colors of its carapace so I could start giving it the first wash… Not entirely practical, but psychologically needed. I applied one coat and a half of Agrax Earthshade, and after it […]

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_11

Weekends are on the slow side of the hobbie, lately… Having a family that doesn’t inhabit in the Warp, and all… I managed to keep basing a couple of surfaces, trying to think on how will I approach the next steps in my mind as I’m doing the color-in-the-lines part… I’m at the point where […]

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_10

I did a distress-test on the banner techniques I thought of using… The material behaved better than expected… but realistic longitudinal creases might be hard to achieve. The experiment piece was very narrow, so that wasn’t helping. But the battle-damage and bending properties I really liked. So far, project “Paint big as if it were […]

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_8

While letting the last greenstuff retouches dry, I had some time to think, so I decided to include some original Games Workshop Knight parts after all… So I made the horizontal banner shafts using first edition Warhammer knight lances… It made it totally Tournament ready. Ready to watch a tournament by my side on Youtube […]

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_7

This was it… A last push, and things can be called ready to paint. Although my wife thought it was silly, since the thing was “already painted”… The missing day was “wasted” trying to model some fluffy chaos pointy rims on the edges of the panels… I couldn’t find any tutorial on the subject, so […]

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_6

Ok, so apparently, baked FIMO doesn’t like fresh FIMO… at all. It gets repelled as if I had covered the solid part with oil… So if I’m to model those buggers, it’s going to be in one sitting… or change medium. I’ve allocated all the hobbie funds I had left to feed the grey pile […]

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_5

No progress made on the weekend, but it was a productive monday. I have virtually no bit parts left that talk to me about either Nurgle, nor titan… I was sure I had nurglings left, but maybe not. So I tried sculpting some. Easier said than done… considering my experience and how damn small they […]

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_3

Today I kept building the hip, adding some tubing, and an extra layer of “infected tissue”. The back-side got an extra panel. And the part that was originally Virus Unit‘s helmet kept remind in me in it’s details, to what most knights have in the upper carapace, looking like a porthole of sorts… So decided […]

WIP – 40K – Nurgle Titan Apocrypha. (the Plague Doctor) part_1

I’ve always dreamt of having one of those Warhammer 40.000 titans since I was a kid… By the time I discovered they even existed, thanks to the old White Dwarf magazine… They were before that, just inspiring illustrations on the booklets of the old Space Crusade game Games Workshop came out with MB. Well, for […]
