A photo of a Warhammer 40,000 Plague Marine, he has pock-marked heavy armour and spikes all over. He's in mid-stride and is holding a very large flamethrower-looking thing. His head, backpack, and both arms are unpainted bare plastic and are the new parts I added.

Another Warhammer 40,000 Plague Marine, this one has a tentacle for a left arm and is holding a meltagun. The gun and his right forearm are bare plastic and are the new parts I added.

And done, that's now one of every available operative type and weapon! Really happy with how the plague spewer guy came out. The guy with the meltagun was tricky as well because I had to hack the bolter he was carrying carefully around the tentacle so I could re-use it for the gun.

A photo of five miniatures (2 Tau, 2 Death Guard, 1 Space Marine Reiver) with an undercoat colour of white or black, with their weapons clearly newly-added because they're fully unpainted raw grey plastic. The miniature in the middle isn't fully assembled and is missing his head and both arms.

With the new edition of Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team coming out and all the changes to squad composition (generally speaking you can only have a single type of special weapon in each squad), I'm doing some converting of my as-yet-unpainted miniatures!

Most of them I could just break the glue apart on the arm joints, but for the guy in the middle, his arms were one single piece connected to half the torso, so I had to hack through the whole arm at the shoulder.

A photo of seven base-coated Plague Marines from Warhammer 40,000. Two have mouths with teeth in their abdomens, another's helmet is broken and they have compound eyes like a fly, one is wielding a MASSIVE cleaver, another has a flail. They've all got all sorts of little pustules on them and tentacles coming out from various places.

Man, the details on these Plague Marines are absolutely crazy!

A photo of the box set of seven Plague Marines from Warhammer 40,000. They're all big and heavily armoured with all sorts of tentacles and gross fleshy bits coming out of them.

As if I didn't have enough unpainted miniatures already, my box of seven Plague Marines arrived today!

A photo of ten fully-painted Nurgle poxwalkers. They're gross distended zombie-looking things with big bone spikes growing out of them, some have pink tentacles, there's lots of pustules all over their bodies, and they're brandishing all sorts of makeshift pieces of industrial equipment as weapons.

BOOM, Poxwalkers are done! (Bar the varnishing anyway, which it's too hot to do right now). Super-happy with how these came out.

A photo of ten half-painted Nurgle poxwalkers. They're gross distended zombie-looking things with big bone spikes growing out of them, some have pink tentacles, there's lots of pustules all over their bodies, and they're brandishing all sorts of makeshift pieces of industrial equipment as weapons.

Okay, today's project (which I suspect will run into tomorrow) is going to be to get the rest of my Poxwalkers finished.

A photo of a Plague Marine from Warhammer 40,000. He's a big green lumbering armoured thing, he's got a grenade launcher-looking gun in one hand, the other is a tentacle, and he's got a fleshy tube thing going into his helmet like it's supplying oxygen (it's totally not oxygen though).

Plague Marine number two is done! I've got a third one as well, all three are from the "First Strike" mini 40K box set (someone at work bought it for the Space Marines but didn't have need of the Death Guard), but it's just one with a bolter which I've already got plenty of.

I DO have a box of seven more Death Guard on the way though, and they have lots of weapon customisation options. 😀

A photo of a Plague Marine from Warhammer 40,000. He's got green armour with skulls in various places, plus horns ripping through the armour on one shoulder and purple tentacles coming out from various armour joints. His head is corpulent and has pustules on it, and his abdomen has a large mouth with teeth bursting through the armour there. On the base is a white Imperial Guard helmet lying on the ground as though he's just killed them.

And we're done! Super-happy with how this came out. It's not entirely obvious from the photo, but I put glossy varnish on the skin and tentacles so it looks wet and extra gross.

A photo of a Plague Marine from Warhammer 40,000. He's fully painted except for drybrushing and the base, and it looks like there's been layers of paint and washes, except there hasn't been thanks to the magic of Contrast paint!

Have I mentioned how much I love Games Workshop's Contrast paints? With the exception of the metallic bits which are regular metallic paints with Agrax Earthshade over them, the rest of this is entirely a single layer of Contrast paint.

A photo of a partially painted Plague Marine from Warhammer 40,000. He's got tentacles coming out from various armour gaps, a giant mouth with teeth in it in his abdomen, and a bone spike coming out of his head.

And now it's time to make use of the newly tidied space to do some miniature painting for the first time in close to a year. Check out this handsome fellow!
