Zombie Nurgle

I think possibly I will use zombies as Plaguebearers (lesser daemons) in my army as they can be fielded without taking up a slot.

B&C Thread - "Zombie Themed Nurgle Army?"

I found pictures of the conversion of Zombie parts + Marine parts that look cool and relatively simple. if i was to do this the list would look similar to this:

Chaos Lord - MoN, Plaguebringer, Terminator Armour
Plague Marines x7 - Champ, PFist, Plas guns x2, Rhino, Icon
Plague Marines x7 - Champ, PFist, Plas guns x2, Rhino, Icon
Lesser Daemons x7
Lesser Daemons x7
Lesser Daemons x7
Lesser Daemons x7
Lesser Daemons x7
(insert something to take out tanks, termies w/combi meltas, Drednaught, Bikes with Meltas)

Gametheory - MathHammer 2/6/08

I was reviewing an older post about mathhammer and my orks vs plague wing and was curious about what the new orks would do to plague marines.

Orks are now striking at +1I and +1S on the charge.
Still 2 base attacks, +1 for 2 hand weapons, +1 for charging.

1 Plague marine strikes 3 time on the charge @ I3 (1 base, +1 for 2 hand weapons, +1 for charging)
WS4 means 3 strikes @ 50% to hit = 1.5 hits
S4 means 50% to wound = .75 wounds
Ork 6+ save is 16% to save = .63 unsaved wounds
Meaning that 2 Plague Marines (46 points) are needed to kill 1 ork (6 points).

on the other hand...is a different set of fingers...

1 Ork strikes 4 times on the charge @ I3 (furious charge) (2 base, +1 for 2 hand weapons, +1 for charging)
WS4 means 4 strikes @ 50% to hit = 2 hits
S4 (Furious Charge) means he's wounding on 5's, 33% to wound = .66 wounds
Plague marine 3+ save means 33% chance to miss save = .22 unsaved wounds
4+ Feel No Pain then drops that 50% more to .11 wounds
Meaning 10 Orks (60 points) are needed to kill 1 Plague Marine (23 Points)

Rhino #1

I started on my first Rhino ever. It seems to be going smoother than my Leman Russ for my orks. I didn't foul up the tracks, however the floor of the vehicle almost got fouled up hardcore. i couldn't line-up the roof after attaching the floor and there were all sorts of gaps.

so i tore it apart and clipped off the four tabs on the floor to get it to fit. i fit in the wall between drivers and passengers and the roof and front panel. i rubber banded it together as i went to bed, there will need to be some conversion work on it, pustules, buboes, etc. i think it needs a nurgle icon on the front panel just below the viewing slits.

for paint, i think catachan green and rotting flesh will work well on it. some of my rust on the tracks.
