Hey all!

I wasn't sure exactly what subforum to post this in, but I think this is the best match. Apologies if this is out of place here.

Today I had the idea to start a video series revolving around the Nurgle army I have been building up for a bit now. I love Nurgle! I do some basic conversion work and am learning how to use Green Stuff to do some basic effects. I am still an amateur hobbyist, but I love learning and also love sharing what I learn with people like you! These videos will help me to document my progress and growth but also could be a good source of inspiration for other people undertaking similar large projects.


The plan: I will shoot a video every 2-3 weeks that covers everything in my Nurgle collection and what changes I have made since the previous installment in the series. These videos will include things like what models I may have decided to add to my collection and why, what new conversions I have started working on, and what painting progress I have made. In this span of time I usually get 1 or 2 games of 40k in with some friends. If I field a Nurgle list which consists out of models from this collection, I might also touch on how it performed. The main focus however, will be the development of the army cosmetically.

In between these longer videos, I will be posting shorter detailed videos on the specific models or units that I have been working on. A good example would be if I finish doing some Green Stuff work on a unit of chaos bikes I will make a quick video detailing exactly how I did it. My goal is to make 2-3 of these videos per week, depending on how much free time I have. These videos will be tutorial-esque in feel and will aim to inspire and guide others who may be doing similar projects. It is my hope that seasoned hobbyists might also take an interest in my project and provide some invaluable tips or insight along the way!


This whole process will be taking place on my Youtube channel. I have just recorded the first video in the series where I go over my whole collection and what my goals are. I have already begun some work on the army but it has a lonnnnng way to go!

If this sparks any interest for you as you read this, please consider subscribing to my Youtube channel to follow my progress. Each subscriber means a lot to smaller channels like mine and we really appreciate the support! I will also update this thread with a link each time I release one of the major update videos.

Thank you for stopping by and reading about my project! Here is the link to the first video in the series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmGo7NR9k-s

I will also embed the first video in the series here for those of you who just want to see what this is all about.

Hey guys! Decided to start converting some terminators I had to Obliterators. I recently had the chance to try some in my army and now I HAVE to have some of my own! Thought I would add an update to this thread in case any of you are interested!

They are still in the very early stages, but here's what I have so far. Just looked through my bits box to see what I had and this is what I came up with!

Hey guys! Part 2 of the video is done! I have made a few minor adjustments to the army collection overall but most of the work since the last video has been some conversion work and what I like to call "stage 1" painting (enough painting done to field the models comfortably, but not a finished product).

Let me know what you think! Cheers!

Hey guys!

Falling a little behind on the video series. My girlfriend broke 3 ribs this past week :(

I have been working on some Helbrutes and just finished up this Nurgle themed one a couple days ago. I wanted to share it here with you guys for some feedback!

I extended the length of the multi melta to make it a more convincing proxy for twin linked las since that is how I like to field them most often.
