Risi Vortapt, part III: The Warlord Titan

Hello all!

I finished the centrepiece for my Nurgle Titanicus Legion just before Christmas; the Warlord Titan. I have another Warlord and a Reaver Titan that I still don't know what to do with. What do you think? Should I make more Nurgle miniatures, or should I try making something for another Chaos God/Legion? I think it would be cool with a Reaver for the Nurgle Legion, but another Warlord might be a bit much.
When I did the advent calendar on Instagram last year, I noticed that my Slaanesh miniatures were quite popular. Maybe I should try making a Slaanesh Warlord Titan?

I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything here for a while. I find it a lot quicker and easier to post pictures on Instagram from my phone, than writing blog-posts from my laptop. I will of course continue posting here. But I think the posts here will mainly be finished projects, like this, or tutorials and such. If you would like to keep up with WIPs of my current projects, I recommend checking out my Instagram.

Risi Vortapt, part II, Blight Drones

I've just finished a few more miniatures for my Nurgle Titanicus Legion; the Blight Drones. In my last post I showed the sculpted unpainted miniatures. If you missed the post, you can read it HERE. 

I painted these guys quite simple and quick. The white is just a few drybrushes of lighter and ligher grey, finished off with a drybrush of white. The shading and weathering were mostly done with AK-interactive technical paints.

I really enjoyed making these, so I'm planning to make a few similar creations. 

Risi Vortapt, part I, introduction

Hello, hellohello

A few months ago, me and a few friends started a new project. You might remember a similar thing we did a couple of years ago, called Vortapt IV. If not, you can find the blog posts HERE. Vortapt IV was a game of four players, each controlling a warband dedicated to one of the four gods of Chaos. To make it interesting and chaotic, we made a randomiser (in MatLab), to pair a player with a god. Back then I got Nurgle, and made a warband of pestigors, known as the Black Pox.

As the previous game turned out great, and making the warbands were a lot of fun, we decided to do it again. But this time the game will be at a quite different scale, as we decided to try it out for the new Specialist Game by GW; Titanicus.

Again we used the randomiser to determine who would make a Legion dedicated to which god. This time I also got Nurgle (obviously, because I'm the Nurgle daddy).

Tommy aka Bigbossredskullz got Tzeentch, and he has also started working on his Titan Legion. The other players haven't started working on their warbands yet, but don't worry, the rest of the gods are in good hands.

The miniatures for Titanicus is fantastic! They're really detailed, and they actually have more different poses that knights in 40k scale.
I've decided to take my Nurgle theme in an underwater direction. Submarine and ship-wreck parts have already been used on my conversions. I picture huge rusty robots coming out of the water, dragging ships, fishnets and seaweeds in their wake.
I always thought the FW blightdrone is a really cool miniature, even though it looks a bit like a flying shrimp. However in this case, flying shrimp actually fits the theme I'm going for. I sculpted five blightdrones (or similar daemon engines) for the group.

The first three Knights and one of the blightdrones are done. The rest will follow soon!

The rest of the Drones and the Warlord Titan are almost ready for paint:
