Why hello there fellow stronghold members,
I left home last year to attend university and when i arrived i soon joined in with the local GW's winter of war campaign and to do so, started a new army. This i decided was going to be a nurgle force as after playing nids for a few years i decided i wanted a change from an army with very little chance of standing up to a gun line to one which is hard to take down no matter how many regular weapons are fired.
I ended up collecting about 2000 points over the course of my time at uni and got most of the infantry painted up to a standard which i was happy with minus a few finishing touches here and there.
Here they are, 4 units of 7 each with a champ with fist and various special weapons.





And a unit of 6 terminators to go along with Typhus (or Typhail as he was known due to the large number of times he managed to kill himself)






however after this point is where the issues arose, please bear in mind after this point that i have at no point been shown how to paint or taught any techniques, once the infantry were done, which i coped with as it is not too far from painting the nids and my ogres, i moved onto the vehicles which i have had no experience of.
I managed to paint the dreadnought fairly well due to the lack of large plain surfaces

and when i encountered these i didn't know how to proceed and ground to a halt.
However now im back home with my old friends and gaming group we have an apocalypse game planned in about a month and everything must be painted so need to get cracking and break out the paint once again. Here is whats left to do.






And on top of this painting i am also scratch building a unit of 3 obliterators based off the chaos spawn kit and a load of bits, here is the first one
