Maybe I've missed it but would you mind show us a tutorial on how you make the worms? Brilliant stuff as always!
The Host of Worms
7
I'm new to 40k (I've yet to play even a demo of 5th edition), but have been a long time fan of Nurgle.
I'm not going Deathguard simply because I want the greatest range of models/vehicles to convert.
The Host of Worms (aka The Host).
Complete with my own insignia:
![]()
Chaos Lord: Mathas Skolik, the Infested
Daemon Prince: Lumbricus, The Bloated
Daemon Prince: Omunyongororwa, Sower of Maggots
Great Unclean One: Uod, the Grubfather
Patron God (unmodelled of course): Shallagia, Goat Mother of a Thousand Worms, Bride of Nurgle, Nursemaiden of Woe
First up, WIP shots for my Lord of Pestilence model from Ultraforge.
I asked previously about giving him a jump pack instead of typical daemon wings, simply because his model screams "I'm a giant bloated space marine".
I started with two caps from superglue bottles, which I might add actually looks great as the basis for a jump pack ...

... but it doesn't fit his style.
Onward, I've had this Tyranid something-or-other carapace for a long time. I kept it because it looks pretty Nurgly to me. So, why not use it as the housing for the jet pack. And just so happens, some plastic tubing I have fits perfectly.

Looks great from the back, but I'm not so sure I like how it affects his silhouette from the side and front. I think I may scrap the carapace, but keep the "organic jump pack" idea. Or maybe I'll just grind on the carapace for a while to reduce the turtle-effect:

I use that too, it really is one of those "how did I ever get along without it?" kind of things. Nice Termies too 
Thanks Svartmetall! I really look up to your conversions and they pretty much started me down the path of making The Host of Worms.
Great job on the GS work this is a very nice conversion, can’t wait to see it painted up!Thanks guys!
Next on deck to paint is my Chaos Lord:

Taking a break to paint some Cryx for Warmachine before getting to this guy. He'll be done before Feb is out, hopefully much sooner.
I forgot, I'll also be painting him with his custom base:

Badly put together 360 rotation here:

I wish I could rep you more than +1, I've not been on this thread in so long and it's simply stunning! some of the conversions and painting are totally hideous (in a really well done way I mean, they look amazing!).
Amazing stuff!
Amazing stuff!
Thanks, I appreciated it Grins1978!
Progress is moving slowly on my Chaos Lord. I'm distracted with Cryx for Warmachine at the moment.
