Idea for army.
I want to use poppy seeds as "bugs" on my Plague Wing bases. another idea, make maggots out of green stuff.
Maggots would go on Plague Marines Bugs would go on Termies.

Awesome paint and modelling job, more inspiration.
looks like he used a zombie arm on one model to show it without the armour. painted the fingers black and skin a dead-pale color. love-it!
Makes me think a bit more about my marines. he has a shoulder pad with a *chunk* taken out of it and a piece of msh beneath. awesome idea.
he's got more damage on his armour, looks more "melted".
i still need one box of marines and one box of terminators. will make some of them more damaged. probably before i take them off the sprue or shortly thereafter. the only problem with doing the damage then is knowing where it will end up when the model is assembled...

Again, crappy lighting = crappy pictures, but it's progress.
also, all the detail work will be a lot more visible after paint.

1st up Plague marines.
I went ahead and greenstuffed all the fun boils and sores all over them, these are just a few of my boys. also there's tubes sticking out and combat damage (bullet holes, cracks in the armour)
sorry, crappy lighting = crappy pictures

Icon Ideas
So my termies need an icon.
I was thinking of using the Icon of Chaos Glory from the Chaos Space Marines box and modelling a triangle of greenstuff to look like hives or pustules over it. similar to the ones used here on the shoulder pad:

More Math Hammer
So, in my drive to work this morning I got to thinking. how would my orks fare against my new plague wing.
SO i thought up the following scenario:
how many basic troops would it take to drop a single model of the opposite army?
So I used Slugga Boyz vs. Plague Marines.
1st up Plague Marines charging a Slugga Boy.
Plague Marine gets 2 swings on the charge and with a higher initiative. 50% of those will hit making 1 hit.
with that 1 hit we have 50% chance to wound making for 0.5 wounds.
with their measely save 16% of those wounds will be saved for a remainder of 0.41 kills.
by that we know that we would need 3 Plague Marines (5 swings) to drop one Ork in one round of close combat. Making 69 points to kill 9 points of orks.
On the flip side:
Orks get to double their initiative with Power of the Waaagh! to 4 on the charge. two attacks base +1 for the charge, +1 for the 2nd cc weapon. however, Plague Marines have blight grenades which negate the charging bonus.
1 Ork gets 3 attacks @ 50% to hit = 1.5 hits
1.5 hits @ 33% to wound = 0.50 wounds
0.50 wounds@ 33% chance to miss the armour save = 0.16 missed saves
0.16 missed saves @ 50% chance on Feel No pain = 0.08 kills.
From this we can determine that we need 36 Ork hits to kill one Plague Marine. This comes to 12 Orks (108 points) to kill 23 points of Plague Marines.
What this works out to is you need 11.99 points of Orks to kill one point of Plague Marines while you only need 2.39 points of Plague Marines to kill one point of Orks
Winner: Plague Marines
