Post subject: Official NAF 2006 Legacy Team WIP Thread - NURGLE'S ROTTERS

Okay, the masses have spoken with one mostly confident voice, and they have proclaimed "NURGLE'S ROTTERS" as our 2006 NAF Legacy team.

Here's the 5th Edition list, which I think is probably the one we should shoot for:

Code:

Qty  Title       Cost    MA ST AG AV    Skills 

0-16 Rotters       40,000    5  3  3  8    Decay, Nurgle???s Rot          

0-4  Pestigors       80,000    6  3  3  8    Horns, Nurgle???s Rot, Regeneration      

0-4  Nurgle Warriors    110,000 4  4  2  9    Disturbing Presence, Foul

                  Appearance, Nurgle???s Rot,

                  Regeneration

0-1  Beast of Nurgle    140,000 4  5  1  9    Loner, Disturbing Presence,

                  Foul Appearance, Mighty

                  Blow, Nurgle???s Rot, Really

                  Stupid, Regeneration,

                  Tentacles

Here is a tentative list of who has mentioned being interested in contributing:

Milo - Rotter (#69)
?? TomB
?? nyarlathotep - Rotter (#13)
?? DiceOrDie
!! antipixi - Pestigor (#83)
!! Stratford
XX Musta Surma
?? Temujin71 - Nurgle Warrior (#71)
<> howlinggriffon - Nurgle Warrior (#27)
!! lauth81 - Pestigor (#81)
!! Stout Youngblood - Pestigor (#666)
<> aerofool - Rotter (#66)
?? Xtreme - Rotter (#11)
!! Spazzfist - Nurgle Warrior (Bilerot Vomitflesh, #1)
?? Paul
?? Mootaz - Pestigor (#6)
<> misanthrope09 - Beast of Nurgle
XX Rune Master - Nurgling Turn/Reroll counters
?? Matt Robson - Rotter
?? KarlLagerBottom - Rotter
?? Tojurub - maybe
XX GalakStarscraper - Nurgle Warrior (with claw, #33)
<> Eggball - Rotter (#3 Cool

<> LouisX - Rotter (#10)

Positional Counts:
---------------------
Rotter: 8
Warrior: 4
Pestigor: 4
Beast: 1

That's 20 of us, so easily enough to build a 16 man team and have some support staff. Let's claim some players! I think we should probably restrict ourselves to no more than N+2 of the positional players, where N is the maximum number of that position, since otherwise we won't have enough Rotters. (N+2 gives us a little flexibility so if someone doesn't get done, we still have enough of the positional players, plus giving whomever wins the team the chance to have some variety.)

If we don't have enough Rotters, I'll give the people who finish FIRST a chance to paint another figure for an extra chance to win the team, but only after we've left some time for late entry by new painters.

If you haven't posted here or PM'ed me to claim a player by September 8th, I'll remove your name from the list. (Just to clean it up, not that it can't be added back on later.)

The team should be painted in classic Nurgle colors -- pustulent greens, vomitous browns, ichorous yellows, rusted metal, etc. Player numbers should be painted in red on black backgrounds (to reflect the red/black scheme of the NAF.)

Here's some painting links:

Some Nurgle WHFB minis
A guide to painting Nurgle Warriors, from GW
Some 40k Nurgle painting advice, but some may still be applicable

If you are planning to paint a Nurgle Warrior, do NOT use one of the Rotter figures from the Nurgle's Rotters team miniatures -- they will be used for Rotter figures and would be confusing to have two different positions represented by the same model.

Don't forget that nurgle teams can take mutations as general skills so adding a mutation to a positional could make it more usefel.

Should we do a specific color for the base? I'm thinking black, with our NAF psuedonym in red to keep with the NAF scheme

Mootaz - Aug 27, 2006 - 08:20 AM

I also think black bases with the name in red would be good. Do we need a way to differentiate Rotters and Warriors? Warriors should be bigger, but is this enough?

I had actually thought about it (after painting my team) that the plaguebearers would be good as the beastmen (now pestigors) because they fit the theme so well and already have the horn(s).

But that point aside I have a Bilerot Vomitflesh model or a spare rotter to throw into the mix. If I do Bilerot, I figure he should be a Nurgle Warrior.

Spazzfist - Aug 27, 2006 - 11:01 AM
Post subject:

One other thought I had is that we could maybe call the team "The NAF Plague-triots" and in the patriotic vein, we could all paint the flag of our country somwhere on the model itself. With a whole team this could make for a really cool display of all the countries that came together to see this project completed!

Spazz, I don't think I can paint the stars and stripes on any part of the mini -- I just don't have the talent. It's easier if you're, say, Italy or Germany.

One of the boons Papa Nurgle occasionally grants his most fervently feverish fanatics is the visage of a Plaguebearer, so I see no reason we can't use a Plaguebearer as one of the Warriors. They could also make good cheerleaders, or as an "Apothecary" (yes, I know, Nurgle Rotters don't get Apothecaries. It's tongue in cheeck.)

Misanthrope, I'll put you down for the beast, and Spazzfist, you can have one of the warrior slots.

It doesn't have to have all the stars and stripes, just do a white rectangle, paint in a few red stripes, add a blue rectangle in one corner and then pip it with white dots. As long as the idea is there....

Hey guys ... really really Important (at least to me). The new team roster in LRB 5.0 ... the old Rotters are meant to be the new Rotters. We than planned on people using Chaos Warriors painted in Nurgle colours or 40k Nurgle Warriors converted to be the Nurgle Warriors. So don't use an old LRB 4.0 Rotters figure as an LRB 5.0 Nurgle Warrior ... the scale will be off.

Also what is the deadline for this. I think I'm finally over the injustice that happened with the last Legacy team I helped with so I'd be interested in assisting. A Nurgle Warrior with Claw perhaps so we could have some mutation players.

Actually, I'd like the deadline be to get minis painted and postmarked by the end of November. That gives us three months from now to do the painting, and it gives me most of December to assemble the team and ship it to the winner, hopefully so they can have it DURING 2006.

Galak, I was planning to use one of the Rotter minis as my Rotter, and I know at least a couple of people who are doing Nurgle Warriors have specified that they were using WHFB minis, so I think that's already the plan. However, just to confirm:

So just to be clear, we are doing the red and black Naf colours for the armour, right?

Have we settled on a skin colour for the players? I think the team will look better if there is some consistency.

As for the flag on the bases, we could do that, but a small flag somewhere on the figure would suit the theme of the "Plague-triots".

Fine, but there are many different shades of green and brown. You might use snot green while I go for a dark angels green. Then if other people are doing various shades of green and brown and none match, then the overall result will look messy. Take a look at the dark elves on the TBB legacy team:

<insert link here when TBB is behaving>

What makes this team so nice is the consistency in the skin colours - it brings the team together.

nyarlathotep - Aug 31, 2006 - 12:28 PM

Yes, I think we ought to have a clearly defined color scheme for the armor and cloth colors.

Skin tones, however, are another story.

Here's the directions on colors we have so far:

"The team should be painted in classic Nurgle colors -- pustulent greens, vomitous browns, ichorous yellows, rusted metal, etc. Player numbers should be painted in red on black backgrounds (to reflect the red/black scheme of the NAF.)"

Well for the skin tones I would vote to keep them light, this way the open sores and pustules can stand out more. If you have darker skin, then it will not show up as much.

Milo - Aug 31, 2006 - 01:21 PM
Post subject:

As regards Rotters, they come from primarily human stock infest by devotion to Nurgle. As such, I would expect they would probably match a range of skin colors available in humans, albeit probably paler than usual due to the infections. I wouldn't want to dictate specific colors because not everyone will be using the same sets of paints.

Does that make sense? Also, keep in mind that this is a Chaos team, and so would not normally be expected to match in any great degree, as opposed to an Elf team, where they care more about their appearance.

It would be helpful, though, for people to post pictures of their works in progress so we can try to match them as we go.

Personally, I plan to undercoat with Dark Angels green, and work up from that, with probably the top highlights in Scorpion green. I plan to use Rotting Flesh for the flesh color. But I've never painted Rotters before so I admit I'll be working on something new and don't know exactly how it will turn out.

What's wrong with that? My personal Rotter team uses figs from other teams for rotters, I have painted them to represent the teams they were 'recruited' from.

If that works for you then fine but personally i think that would look like a bunch of figs that have been thrown together and borrowed off of other people. Can't see it working but if thats the theme then I can't wait to see the results.

I'd prefer some consensus around colours. You might get one fig that's sporting only yellow and brown, while the next one has just green and purple. The end result would certainly look suitably gross but it wouldn't be very uniform.

Spazz mentioned how the blue skin made the TBB legacy team look like a team. I was planning to paint the NAF crest on one of my Rotter's shoulderpads -- maybe we could use something like that to bring it all together....

In terms of the skin, I was thinking along the lines of Rotting Flesh like Milo. I'll be converting a WHFB zombie. Definitely agree with Tom that the Nurgle Warriors should ideally be big, sturdy fellows, like a shambling brick sh*thouse...

I would like to see an agreement on team colours to use for armor and clothing. I don´t mind about skintones ... this is a nurgle team. Maybe we should use NAF colours (black/red) as teamcolours.

I'm not opposed to doing armor in black and red for the NAF. I think that would unify them regardless of the skin tones, which I agree should be able to vary somewhat.

If someone would rather propose other armor colors, feel free -- I don't have access to my paints at the moment and it's been long enough since I've painted much that I can't claim to remember them all well.

I was about to argue with you, then I remember that I was thinking about the LRB 4 Rotters who didn't wear that much armour. With the LRB 5 Chaos Warriors of Nurgle, they will be much more heavily armoured, and the red armour will look more suited to Khorne than Nurgle.

Maybe Rusty metal with red and black on the shoulder pads?

Bilerot should be a Chaos Warrior to me. With the LRB5 changes, Rotters look more like zombies now, alebit a mankier, more pustulant version!

I found this alternative way of painting Nurgle models - this one's 40K themed but the effect should be much the same for any other range of Nurgle model. It looks quite good, I think...

The last team I helped with was sold by the winner to another of the painters the day he won it and the rest of the painters didn't get a chance to purchase it instead (ie outbid him). I haven't participated in a legacy team since then.

But Milo is a standup guy ... so I'm willing to help with this one.

Here's a pic of my Rotter, which is converted from a warhammer zombie. I plan to do the armour in the icky pale green colour (Camo Green-->Rotting Flesh) seen in Howlinggriffon's link. One pad will feature the NAF shield.

I think most people go for the "Zombie" look when making their rotters, but feel free to do whatever fits. Although I'm not such a fan of skellies for the rotters.

Another question: Any requirements for flocking etc. on the base?
Shall I put just some static grass on it and be done?

howlinggriffon - Oct 27, 2006 - 02:56 AM
Post subject:

The way i did mine was to put PVA on the base and then cover that in sand. Once dry, I painted it black and drybrushed it with bleached bone to give it some texture. I will add small clumps of static grass to it but I wanted to get some which was a light brown colour (I could use green static grass and drybrush it I guess...) I've painted the edge of the base with catachan green to make it look nice and murky - it does show off my username and country flag nicely though as I painted that in white. You'll see what I mean when I get pics up at the weekend Smile

Milo,

I'm waiting for a conversion sprue to get cast by Impact! to do my Warrior up correctly as all my claw versions have been crap.

It might not make it in for the deadline ... but I will honor my commitment to add the figure to the team.

Just make I know the address of the winner and I'll make sure to send him mine directly.

Sorry ... I had high hopes we'd be casting the mutation sprue that Impact! commissions by now. Best laid plans and all.

Eggball,

Absolutely LOVE the skin tone of your rotter! So much so that I am going to "borrow" the idea for my own team that I am doing up. (But they say that imitation is the highest form of flattery!) I will post pics when I have some more done.

The bright pink is such a stark contrast to the putridness of the model, that it really makes it that much more disgusting!

Brilliant!

Eggball - Nov 06, 2006 - 08:28 PM
Post subject:

Very nice (and repulsive) job, Stout Youngblood!

@Spazzfist: Thanks! I guess the skin on my rotter looks kind of pink in the photos but it's actually pale purple. I used Liche Purple mixed with a bit of Codex Grey (maybe 5:1 or 4:1) and then added layers with increasing amounts of white, until the mix was nearly pure white for the top highlights. The guts are done with pink and grey though.

Oh well! So my idea is original is what you are saying! Smile

I will post some pics up of the models that I have done when I get around to basing them. Finished the third rotter (of six) tonight. Still have to base them however. (Hmmmm..... now I want to build a custom pitch for this team)!

Maybe I will go with the purplish hues for my pestigor (read - plaguebearer).

But I still have to work on Bilerot! Any ideas for his skin colour? I don;t think he would look good in pinks or purples!

Got new figures in today from Antipixi, StoutYoungblood, and Spazzfist. Great work, guys, and some interesting packing. Stout, I'm keeping the foam insert with yours to help secure the intestines (never thought I'd say that) -- good idea for packing, and I don't want to damage it before it gets to the eventual owner.

I've seen pictures of figures from longfang, misanthrope, Eggball, HowlingGriffon, all painted, and primed/converted minis from LouisX and aerofool. nyarlothep, and Xtreme I ran into at the Underworld Cup and they said (I think) that they had theirs about done. Plus there's my mini when I get him finished up. In addition to the two I had already, that should make 13 even if we get minis from no one else.

I do have PMs from Rune_Master, Galak, and Musta_Surma with their regrets for not being able to participate. It's okay, guys, life gets in the way for all of us sometimes.

That leaves the following as big question marks: TomB, DiceOrDie, Matt Robson, Mootaz, Paul, and Temujin71. Anyone know any of them to ask directly?

#13 has been sent.

In today's mail: Rotters from both Longfang and Eggball, who seemed to be competing for the "most securely packaged mini" award. Both lads arrived safe and sound and are snuggled into a padded case with all their brethren.

I'll try to bust out my camera and get some pics of the lot tonight or tomorrow. Don't hold your breath. =)

Also arriving: Nyarlathotep's rotter. Anyone else got anything to send in?

sending mine in monday or tuesday

Hey, Milo, how is it coming? How many figs do you have and how many left to be sent? Inquiring minds would like to know... Razz

Milo - Dec 18, 2006 - 09:43 PM
Post subject:

So far, I've got eight minis in: 3 Pestigors, 3 Rotters and 2 Chaos Warriors. (Longfang, is yours meant to be a rotter or warrior? I listed him as warriors since he's relatively unrotted... yet.)

LouisX and aerofool have posted pics of converted but unpainted minis. HowlingGriffon and Temujin have posted pics of fully painted Warriors. Misanthrope has posted pics of a painted Beast of Nurgle. I've still got to finish up my rotter.

If we get all of those but no more, we'll have 4 Warriors, 4 Pestigors, 5 Rotters and a Beast, which is a pretty good haul, all things considered.

LouisX, aerofool, how are yours doing?

Also, Xtreme, are you still planning to send one in?

Here's a pic of the minis that have arrived so far:

Sorry for the delay, but yes I am and he is done.
I'll get a pic and get him in the mail.

That is a sweet looking team. Can't wait to see the rest.

Whoops! I'll get it in the mail by the end of the week.

Sorry, guys!

So how is the team shaping up, Milo?

Any clue on when the drawing will be?

How about the 2007 legacy team? Smile

Milo - Dec 27, 2006 - 06:50 PM
Post subject:

Well, I'm still waiting on the last few minis to come in from Misanthrope, Temujin and Xtreme. Then I'll handle the drawing. Given that we've already missed the deadline, I don't see any harm in allowing the last few to trickle in before making an announcement. I'll do another photo shoot once the whole team is together, too.

nyarlathotep - Dec 27, 2006 - 08:48 PM
Post subject:

Ah, I was just teasing you.

Except about the 2007 legacy team. Do you want to organize that one, too?

I'll be on time this time, I promise!

Rottweilerrme - Dec 30, 2006 - 07:15 PM

I would also like to join in next time depending on what race is being done. Hopefully one I don't have. Very Happy

nyarlathotep - Jan 08, 2007 - 01:13 PM

Do we have any news yet, Milo? Do I need to run down to Indy to get Xtreme to send his mini in? Laughing

Milo - Jan 08, 2007 - 09:09 PM
Post subject:

Nyarlathotep, yeah, go kick him in the butt and tell him to get it in the mail ASAP. Still waiting on the other minis, too, I haven't gotten anything lately.

Spazzfist - Jan 08, 2007 - 09:14 PM
Post subject:

Wow, I was going to ask what was going on with that, but thought that maybe you were busy.

I know we all have busy schedules, but this is going on almost two months late. I work three jobs and have six kids at home. If I can get my mini in on time......

Temujin71 - Jan 10, 2007 - 12:34 PM

sorry, weekly blizzards here in Colorado have just about put my entire life a week or 3 behind schedule

you should receive mine today or tomorrow

Glad to hear that you've dug out, Temujin71!

Now we have to wait for Xtreme...

Milo - Jan 11, 2007 - 05:37 PM
Post subject:

Temujin71's came in yesterday. I'll give a week to hear from people that they've sent their minis in; anything not sent by next Friday will be excluded and we'll draw the drawing anyways.

LouisX, aerofool, misanthrope, HowlingGriffon -- we need to hear you've got these minis in the mail and soon.

I heard from Xtreme and HowlingGriffon that they were both sending theirs our last week. Neither has arrived yet.

I think we'll have to consider the rest of them a loss.

Milo, are you still waiting on figs? I thought yesterday was to be THE DAY to pick the winner?

misanthrope09 - Jan 27, 2007 - 09:26 AM
Post subject:

Unfortunately I appear to have been part of this delay. Deeply sorry, folks. As I told Milo, I just want the winner to get the figure I painted, and have no desire to hold up the process. Congrats to whoever wins this thing. Sorry again, guys.

Xtreme - Jan 27, 2007 - 08:31 PM

I was told mine would arrive on the 22nd, so hopefully you've received it. Sorry for being one of the late ones.

Milo - Jan 27, 2007 - 10:29 PM

Xtreme's has arrived. Still haven't received HowlingGriffon's but hopefully it should be here any day now. Give me a few days to work out a sound way to get the number drawn and I'll post the result.

Spazzfist - Jan 31, 2007 - 11:34 AM
Post subject:

Milo,

http://www.irony.com/mailroll.html

I think this is probably the best method - assign each of the participants a number. Then you will need to collect all of our e-mail addresses. Set the dice roller to randomly determine a number which will correspond to the number of the participant. We will all then get an e-mail telling us of the result.

This way there can be no question of legitimacy or cheating, etc as it is a neutral program and a random generator.

The only problem that I can forsee is that it will not be able to randomly generate the numbers 11, 14, 15, 16. You can do 13 and 18. I am not sure how many people we have, but if it is say 14, then we could always have it generate up to the number 18 - you can tell it to roll two (or more) times) and then the first appropriate result will be the one that is accepted.

Hope this helps,

Spazz

or you could make a spreadsheet with everyone's names listed randomly, hide the sheet, password protect it, post it up, and have someone pick a number and then supply the password and everyone will be able to see who won

want me to do it?

Milo - Feb 01, 2007 - 11:58 AM
Post subject:

Temujin, Spazzfist, those are both good ideas. I think I'll do something incorporating both. Now that we're so close, expect an announcement by Superbowl kickoff.

StoutYoungblood - Feb 06, 2007 - 11:23 AM
Post subject:

Hey, what is going on with the legacy team? I figure my chances are pretty slim but hope springs eternal...

Milo - Feb 06, 2007 - 06:13 PM
Post subject:

Recent arrivals:

[l-r: Xtreme, Misanthrope, Nyarlathotep, Temujin71]

The entire team:

So far, we've received only 11 players. (Even I haven't finished mine.) Longfang has requested that he be excluded from the contest. That means that as it stands currently, everyone who submitted a mini has a 10% chance.

I have a spreadsheet ready to post and I can roll the winner, but -- would you guys rather open it back up for more people to submit miniatures, in hopes of having a bigger team? Or should I just go ahead and draw now? Any thoughts?

Spazzfist - Feb 06, 2007 - 07:41 PM
Post subject:

Just pick the name - this has gone on long enough, besides people have already been planning the next legacy team - time to move on!

StoutYoungblood - Feb 07, 2007 - 07:13 AM
Post subject:

I agree with Spazzfist, pick a name. Figs were to be done by the end of November. I think this has been long enough.

nyarlathotep - Feb 07, 2007 - 11:09 AM
Post subject:

Go ahead and draw, Milo. It's February...

Milo - Feb 07, 2007 - 10:21 PM
Post subject:

Okay, here's the list:

1 Nyarlathotep
2 Eggball
3 Antipixi
4 Spazzfist
5 Lauth81
6 Temujin71
7 Stratford
8 StoutYoungblood
9 Misanthrope
10 Xtreme

I need a couple of people's email addresses to send the randomly generated dice roll to for verification. And I won't edit this post to change the order. Anyone who wants to get a copy of the mail PM me your email and I'll have it drawn tomorrow night.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't accept multiple email addresses, so the email went to me and Nyarlathotep, who can confirm the result. Here's the winner:

StoutYoungblood - Mar 16, 2007 - 10:11 AM
Post subject:

No, I haven't. It has almost a month (Feb 19th) since I last heard from him. No replies to emails or PMs. Nothing.

First 'Legacy' team I have participated in...not a very good omen for me to participate in another. Sad

Besides the possibility of not getting the team, I hope nothing bad has happened to Milo.

Milo - Mar 16, 2007 - 05:52 PM
Post subject:

Stout, the team went out via Fedex yesterday. I have a tracking code, but it's not on me at the moment. They told me two days so I'd suspect it should be there on Monday.

Milo, Thanks. They arrived today. Wow!!! The team looks even better (or should I say worse) than the pix. I will try to get some pictures up this weekend.
