Stealth and Filth...

Hi There,

 

I know...I know...it has been a while since there was anything posted by me here on my little Nurgle Tau blog. BUT the good news is: despite being very busy with work and social life stuff ;)  , I have also been busy with my Nurgle Tau. And I must say that Grand Father Nurgle would be proud at the tributes that I will bring to you in the coming days !

 

So I proudly present to you: My unit of 3 Nurgle Tau Stealth Suits.

 

 

The original plan was to make 6 of them and include the Tau special character Shadow Sun, however I changed up my mind and decided to go for something slightly different. The choice to do this was mainly based on the list I wanted to take to the Throne of Skulls tournament in June 2015 at Warhammer World in the UK. But...more about that later ;)

 

 

 As you can see I went all out with kitbashing and converting these little guys and I think the result is pretty cool if I say so myself. The orginal plan was to only give a "Snout" to the guy with the fusion blaster...but I liked the look so much I decided to give the other 2 a "Snout" as well.

 

I have already played a few games with them and on the table they look even better! The only downside is that due to all the bits and conversions they became 2 times as big as the orginal Tau Stealthsuits. So for rules as line of sight and cover saves they have become a more easy target, however... to see them lurking to the ruins, licking stuff and doing whatever they do is worth all that!

 

 

As normal I want to give you a little list of the Games Workshop boxes I used to convert these models:

• Tau Stealthsuits.
• Chaos Spawn kit.
• Chaos spacemarine vehicle sprues.
• Chaos Plague Drones.
• Cities of Death Scenery kits (for the base)
• Greenstuff.
• Texture paint.

So that is all for now, but more is soon to come! I have finished 2 Imperial Knights that I have painstakingly converted to nurgle...so that would be: Nurgle Knights ;)... stay tuned for pictures and blogs of those big boys ...
