Side Project - Chess Set - Conversions and Final set up

Update

Its been several months since my last post due to most of my time being spent trying to sort out the new house.

However, I have been working away on my chess set side project in the odd hour I get spare. I now have all the pieces required to build both sets of pieces and have built most of them. There are a few models for each side that require a bit of converting which is what I have been slowly doing. The models I built previously have been spray painted and the base coats nearly completed.

I also made a bit of a start on the three Nurgle figures shown in the last post but nothing worth photoing. I bought some liquid green stuff and have been slowly experimenting with that. I'm not 100% convinced of it yet but I can see potential.

My wife took a trip to England and managed to find both 'realistic water' & 'water effects' so I can finally finish the base for the Maggoth Lord. I have started a test base to see how it works and will post the finished result once I have applied the Nurgles Rot slime paint to it. Fingers crossed it looks good when finished.

Photos to come in the near(ish) future of how the chess board will look with all characters lined up.

Competition update

So, my Maggoth Lord that I entered for the painting competition got its results. I got 24/27. I got marked down for not filling in the gap under the seat, no extreme highlights and not having executed the advanced techniques well. The main thing to take away from this is that I now have a check list with which to use for my next entry.

On the plus side 24/27 was the second highest score and I won the 'Adult Monster' category which means I won this piece of concept art. Space Marines aren't really my thing but Im happy to have won something. I'll keep it and hopefully add to it in the future.
