sorry guys

Will look forward to seeing pictorial updates

JJ

keep bugging me to update lol i have been super busy with my bands 3rd cd,practices and other buits of amusing crap lol

Sounds like you've had a busy ol' time of it

In which case, PICTURES! PICTURES! PICTURES! 

JJ

Ok so long overdue but finally got a few new pics for you
nothing much has changed i still havent started making the dakka of the god but my boyz now have a few new allies in the form of a chaos khorne traitor army
"Whats dis boss?" a squeaky voice asked
Whack came the reply "dis yoo stupid runt is da new boss tank see dem shooty bits there? ded killy they are da boss wanted da shootiest biggest humie killer we could make and dere it is"
stomp stomp stomp

battlewagon very wip

more pics later i guess

I'm liking the army as it is so far. So, how comes you're allying some Khornites?

JJ

lol what more could an army of close combat loonies want? another pile of close combat loonies! lol

This has gotta be one of my fave 'blogs on here, and I have been a long time viewer of it, and as such, I demand more pictures

JJ

Thankyou thats cool to hear i havent done much modelling recently but i have worked out my colour scheme for my trator nurgle army...
It will all be explained in my fluff but the khornate force i have has now became nurgle...
Ill get some new pics just for you in abit mate
*edit*here you go! i present to you "the sons of blight"



Father Nurgle is a jovial god,he looks upon his poxes with a fatherly loving intrigue yet dont raise his wrath.The sons of blight were once followers of another god yet Nurgle still managed to bestow his poxes upon them.Inviting the anger of Khorne isnt advised yet Nurgle couldnt resist the idea of this.It made him cackle in his vast mansion in the realm of chaos.The sons of blight are made up by demons and moulded flesh to be parodies of the other gods troops.Although Nurgle sees this as a jovial representation of his sense of humour its only a matter of time before the other gods rise to this....
next up on my list of things to add are some demonettes dire wolves spawn and some rough riders
So far my army consists of
90 imperial guardsmen
chaos lord in termie armour
24 khorne berzerkers
3 heavy bolter teams
10 bloodletters
a stormlord!
I have the demon codex so am going to make a demon army and then use them in my chaos marine traitor force but everything will be nurgle themed even though in battle they will follow the wysiwyg rule ie demonettes will look nurgle but will be demonettes stats in battles i always liked the theme of one gods colour scheme so the idea just sorta happened while i was messing about with test colour schemes

Lookin amazing thus far! But, I feel compelled to ask, what is happenin to the orks?

JJ

Im carrying on with the orks ill never stop them! I just fancied abit of a change and always wanted a nurgle csm army so dont worry theres orky goodness still to come

Thank goodness for that I love the orkiness

JJ

Im hoping to go to games workshop hq in may so expect some forgeworld goodness eventually.....

Awesomeness! In which case, I can't frickin' wait

JJ

Im thinking of buying a few megadreads and some of the battlewagon upgrade weapons and stuff
and maybe the fw great unclean one

The FW GUO makes all and any other Nurgle stuff totally and utterly obsolete

JJ

you seen the plague hulk thing?

The Nurgle version of a Soul Grinder?

JJ

Hey seem to have been abit awol as of late! blame my band and a few other things getting in the way
BUT
the sons of rust are back and i now have the following army
4 units of 8 plague marine berzerkers
10 demonette plaguebearers
10 bloodletter plaguebearers
about 100 guard traitors
a stormlord

and it isnt much of an update as im sure i mentioned what i had a few posts back
but now its all painted and im going to be getting unit by unit pics this week sometime

found some well old fluff i did for another old army i might adapt it for my sons of rust hmmm

The Hives Of KasKad
On the planet of Kharadon is located the huge hive city of Kaskad.During the first Armageddon war the hive fell to disease and the zombie plague thats sweeping the imperium.Although Armageddon was saved from the hordes of chaos and Angron,Kharadon was not.
The planet became a stronghold to chaos and as it was on the outskirts of Armageddon it was forgotten.The chaos traitors hid deep with in the hives and the planet became declared as dead.
The hives fell into disrepair,There orbital strike riddled spires jutting up into the sky.Pollution from the battles filled the air making the hives uninhabitable.The forces of the imperium left the planet assuming it was a dead world with no purpose.
Yet a malicious force was gathering its strength deep within the hive.The corpses from the battles clawed there way to the surface of the planet.There scorched bodies erupting from the ash riddled pock marks on the planets surface.
Lightning and corrosive rain fell on the planet singnaling the rebirth.Although what was being reborn we dont yet know.
The planets orbit has been changing and it seems that the planet is being drawn closer to the eye of terror.Constant warp fluctuations and orbital storms are stopping research ships getting near the planet.Every time a ship is sent to research its either never heard of again or it returns to where it came from with no crew.The returned ships seem to be intact apart from a malevolent force detected within the ship by nearby psykers.
Any planet within close proximity of Kharadon seems to erupt with civilian panic and the zombie plague incidents seem to increase tenfold.People disappear and the cities become over run with plague zombies.So far we have lost 5 planets to this plague numbers of the dead are not yet known.
Worryingly enough there has been rumoured sightings of vessels hidden in the inpenetrable storms surrounding the planets.The storms size is increasing and enveloping all planets that Kharadon comes into contact with.

We must investigate....


Dear sir
here follows a document that was found on the body of sergeant Thomass derran of the cadian 8th blue battalion.I thought it needed your attention



The Arch tyrant of Kharadon
Not much i known about the arch tyrants life before he became the harbinger of the plague.Believed to be typhus` champion during the battles on Carandinis v11.Rumours of him being a bodyguard to typhus on the TERMINUS EST vessel keep being reported all over the imperium.
There arent many reports of sightings of him,it can be assumed that every time he is seen he leaves no survivors!There have only been 2 confirmed sightings of him but we know for a fact he has been active many more times than this!
Its believed hes responsible for the planetary massacres on the Kranak,Belius and gryon 4 sectors of the imperium.All 3 of these planetary sectors are now declared hereticus destructus and are set for planetary cleansation.
The only reports we have of his appearance come from a supposed survivor of his battles on the worlds Carandinis v11.The surviving guardsman was declared insane and interrogated with the utmost care by master inquisitor Thorne.Here follows an extract of the interrogation
"The plagued one stood head and shoulders above any man nothing could beat him,bullets and lascannon shots bounced off him nothing could save us"
After this extract the prisoner flitted into complete madness and had to be dealt with.The only rumoured things we have about him is something known as the "cloud of plague"
Supposedly a black form envelops his feet,tendrils of darkness flick out from this cloud constantly as if its some sort of predatory creature.As the tyrant walks the battlefield these tendrils flick out and whip anything dead on the battlefield.Anything hit crawls to its feet and fights on as a reanimated plague corpse.Anyone touched by these dead victims becomes infected with plague.The tyrant has many dead creatures within his forces rumours of plague carnifexes and other horrors keep getting mentioned.
He is equipped with terminator armour of an unknown design,the plates covered in rents from the bloating with in.A trail of noxious slime drips from behind him,creating puddles in his footsteps.
The only way to sum him up is to compare him to the chaos lord Typhus.Both these enemies of the imperium are connected somehow.They both spread the zombie plague and its believed the arch tyrant is the protege of typhus.A creature created purely for spreading the disease of nurgle.
One fact that has became apparent about the forces of the arch tyrant is that his armies are pure Deathguard,his plague affects anything not blessed by nurgle.Strangely enough Fabius Bile is the only non Deathguard heretic to have been seen with the hordes of the tyrant.
His forces consist of plague marines,diseased cultists on there way to being plague zombies and pure plague zombies.Theres also a large amount of strange plague zombies ie space marines,other chaos marine chapters,tyranids and orks.Any planet he attacks will be destroyed within days regardless of whether the tyrant wins or not.Once his foot sets down on the planet the plague is there its only a matter of time till it ravages the populace.
Strangely enough his force doesnt follow the typical organisation of a Deathguarde force.Bikers and obliterators have been spotted within his hordes.Pus filled obliterators shooting clouds of flies,bits of plague zombies and shrunken heads is something i fear.
Ill continue my diary later....

Extract from the journals of inquisitor loxan merratt

your faithful servant


Gideon Lorr



The following excerpt is from an inqusitorial interrogation by Inquisitor Lord Kellus Grax.It comes from an executed prisoner and is most likely the rants of a madman but at the moment anything related to the Arch Tyrant of Kharadon needs your attention.

your faithful servant Machal Erak



Interrogation of prisoner 3746712-jj56 her follows a description of the so called "pus spewers"

"Theres some creatures in that army,mad,horrid creatures. We came into contact with these beasts during the battle on Teckax 3 they came out of nowhere.Im sure they teleported or something Colonel Ranat reckoned theyd burst out of the ground like huge burrowing death.I looked at them and although it was only for a split second i saw the true horror of these creatures.
Standing a good 8 feet tall and covered in heavy armour the creatures dripped pus and bile.My chem mask began to warp under the stench surrounding these creatures.There warcry was like something ive never heard before and never want to hear again.A wail erupted from the creature which sounded like hundreds of agonized voices screaming in unison.I will never forget this noise as long as i live
The cacophany of these creatures became a warning signal for the impending barrage they would fire at us.The creatures were covered in heavy plates of diseased chitin they almost looked tyranid in origin.They also had twisted pieces of metal jutting out all over them as if they were once terminators or power armoured.Razor sharp limbs and various weapons jutted out of them,Strangely enough they also had huge corroded tanks strapped to there back for what we do not know.Our men tried to take them down in combat but we couldnt even touch the creatures we had to fall back.
Falling back was our greatest mistake because it allowed the creatures to utilise there backpack tank things.Huge rents appeared in the creatures,flesh tore,chitin snapped and the horrid cacophony of the creatures rang out.Warp power becan to pulse in these rents creating a hum.This mixed with the screams they created to form a truly horrid noise.Some of our men killed there selfs as they didnt want to hear the noise anymore
Pus and other horrific substances began to pour from the creatures,bubbling under the heat of the warp power.After a while the scream emitted from these creatures stopped and the warp power shot out from the creatures.Huge columns of bile.pus and rotting flesh spewed from the creatures.Anything it touched melted away under the disease and pestilence from these creatures.Vehicles became wrecks but the true horror was when it touched men.
The spew of these creatures shot out in splatters over a wide area everytime they shot there weapons.Men touched by any of the slime were dead.It was only a matter of time! "

prisoner is asked what he means and punished for stopping

"ok ok ill tell you what i meant!! Anyone touched by the slime would be in a furious fever within days.Our chem flak suits did nothing and the spores from the pus spewer blocked out chem inhalers making them useless.We had the horror of these creatures followed by the horror they unleashed.Id heard rumours of the zombie plague but put it down to the lower classes rumour mongering but its true i swear!I saw a man take the full force of the blast from these creatures! He flew across the room and became a pile of goo but within seconds he was up on his feet.His face melted.his body broken yet he still came!! We shot him repeatedly yet he still came.This creature that was once my friend Scott Gressus took down and ate 3 men before we blew his body so full of holes there was nothing left.Minutes later the 3 men hed attacked rose to there feet!
These creatures arent very damaging with there blast it doesnt kill anyone it hits instantly it just creates more of these zombie creatures.Within days we had to abandon our post our garrison was over run with the bodies of our own men.Anyone contracting the virus was dead and reanimated within 3 days.
I barely managed to survive these 3 creatures took down a whole company of men and reanimated them! 3 creatures destroyed our full company i cant believe it on the emperor i hope theres no more of these creatures i never want to see them again!!"

"your wish is granted"-Lord Kellus Grax
The prisoner was then executed for cowardice,blasphemy and abandoning his men.The excerpt shouldnt be believed these creatures have never been reported by anyone and are most likely the delusions of a weak minded guardsman.


The infection starts.... 
     



Report to: Inquisitor kellas meckal
report from: inquisitor Gideon Lorr
Level: Extreme importance on highest level

Sir the attacks and events relating to the Arch Tyrant of Kharadon are becoming more widespread in the sector.I ask that more military personnel be deployed under my command.I elieve that the attacks and outbreaks of the "zombie plague" are all related.We need to keep things under control now before its too late.I was in combat just yesterday and heres my report on the cratures that assaulted us in the hives on Gryphone-3 codenamed-Plagueryns

The Plagueryns
These creatures seem to be heavily mutated/diseased ogryns armed for close combat and assault.Although not very dangerous in combat per se the fact is these creatures need to be chopped/blown to pieces to stop fighting.Its this fact which makes these creatures so deadly.
I saw one of them take the full brunt of a lascannon shot into its lower abdomen,blowing out a huge chunk.The creature still came attacking despite the fact that itschest cavity was collapsing under the strain of the hole lown in it.Even with a destroyed chest cavity and a hanging off head and upper torso it still got into combat.It took a full heavy bolter clip and various small arms fire to take the creature down.
We managed to recover a badly damaged body of these creatures and dissect it to a degree.It seems that a parasite creature attaches to the orgyns back and clips 2 pincers into the join between the ogryns neck vertabrae and skull.Once there we believe the creature takes control of the entire creatures bodily functions and somehow fills the host with warp power.Its the only way we could explain the incredible wounds these creatures need to go down.
Sadly the body of the creature suffered an exaggerated level of decomposition because of the links to the zombie plague.All traces of the dissection including the medicae personnel had to be destroyed to halt the plague from these creatures.The information we recieved was worth the sacrifice im sure you will agree.
The "plagueryns" have been used to incredible effect in hive battles.One or two of the creatures fill the entire corridor and covers alot of distance before going down.Once down another one does the same thing,thus these creatures can get into combat with minimal casualties in the enclosed corridors of the hives.Once in combat they use crude weaponry,bare strength and bites to take down there victims.Worryingly a few of these creatures can vomit a torrent of acid,filth,disease and maggots basically a smaller version of the "pus spewers" attacks.These attacks although smaller are no less deadly they spread toe zombie plague and this also adds to there combat effectiveness.In the confines of the hives thes vomit attacks cant be avoided easily.Any protection we have gave our troops have proved ineffective so far.Once these creatures reach close combat and start vomiting its only a matter of time untill the guardsmen defending the corridor become zombies themselves.
Our commissars have had to resort to using penal legion troops armed with explosive neck collars to combat these threats.The prisoners do not know what there collars are for.We had to request the hughest authorities to grant us this permission.The penal troops fight as normal unaware of what they are really there for.Once in combat with the Plagueryns a commisar deeper in the hive will detonate these collars.We need to make extreme use of the hives vision casters for this to work so far the tactic has proven ok.These creatures are still proving to be a thorn is our side.The tactic is becoming ineffective as the creatures seem to be coming wise to this tactic.A few battle reports have shown these creatures split into 2 groups to attack.One hangs back while one goes into combat.The collars detonate killing a few of the creatures.Once the dust has cleared vision casters have shown the 2nd groups advancing over the exploded bodies of the first groups.This means the tactic still kills the creatures but the casualties to them are minimal.
Even more worryingly theres been a few reports filtering through of these creatures being armed with cannons of some sort.The resemble ancient cannons and arent advanced at all.Despite the crudeness of thes cannons they allow the plagueryns to attack with longer range on there vomit assaults.The creatures hose entire corridors in the hive with these cannons leaving the corridor as a pus filled hellhole.Nurgling creatures erupt from these walls and demon face leer out,screaming and vomiting.We believe these creatures are used to expend ammo before the main units assault.There secondary use seems to be spreading fear.The cannons the carry are used to make whole sections of the hive unaccessible by imperial guard,for one the corridors are full of the zombie plague spores.Secondly even bio suit armed guard are fearful to enter these corridors because of the leering demons and faces created through the vomit hosing.
These creatures need to be considered an incredible threat,to be dealt with as primary targets.They havent yet been seen fighting in open ground,only in the confines of the hives corridors.I dread to think how effective the cannons these creatures utilise will be on an open battleground.Slowly but surely the hives are falling to these creatures and therfore i ask your permission to grant extreme exterminatus on the hives.One tactic has been suggested but hasnt been tried in the field of battle yet.We request adeptus astartes vindicator cannons and somehow block up a corridor with the cannon and a plasteel wall.The vomit attacks wont get past the wall and the guardsmen behind are safe from the attacks.Keep these cannons firing at the creatures while letting them gain no ground.
On a sad note i have to report the death of Inquisitor Machal Drake he was killed in combat with these creatures.His blessed chainsword taking down 4 of the creatures before he fell.I personally had to destroy his reanimated body 2 hours after he fell in combat.
I also request that ogryns do not be deployed anywhere in this sector they are very valuable to the traitors and will attract ferocious fighting.The traitors attacks are at there most vicious when ogryns are involved so far theres a confirmed 80 ogryn kidnaps in this sector.Its only a matter of time till these 80 ogrnys are fighting us as plagueryns.

As i request sir,keep me posted on all military movements in your sector,aswell as any troops deployed under my command.

your faithful servant

Gideon Lorr

Completely amazing bit of fluff Truly awesome, and great fun to read I am eager for the modelling up date to go with this
