The Armoury requires models wearing armour... and ceramite counts, right? Once again a delve into the unpainted figure stash unearthed these metal 40K Plague Marines from a Golden Age of Games Workshop. These five will join a rather sizable Nurgle Space Marines force in my cabinet.
Two Marines with bolters here - a standard Chaos Marine bolter at right and a Heresy-era Phobos pattern piece at left.
Melta-gunner here with an... interesting mutation on his right arm.
A couple more Marines with boltguns to finish off the group.
Several different patterns of backpack but that's OK... after ten thousand years there's bound to be some mixing and matching. The models were basecoated with Caliban Green and heavily highlighted with a mix of Deathworld Forest and Steel Legion Drab. They were washed with Agrax Earthshade and re-highlighted with the DWF/SLD mix, to match the others in the army painted years ago. The bronze trim is Brass Scorpion.
I hadn't painted any new models for this army for quite some time, but this is a little preview of something bigger that will be coming along for a room on the third level of the Dungeon...
Great looking heavy metal
