Death Guard Vindicator Conversion








This project began as just a vindicator that I happened to keep from a Space Marine Strike Force box. I added some spikes and a chaos symbol, but there was just too much about it that screamed 'Loyalist Dog!'
I never fielded it and it gathered dust for some months.
I ended up going to North Carolina for a few weeks on business and found the Hobby Chest, a pretty awesome Gaming Store and the people there really like my plague Marines. I started to get a lot of questions about them and it got the old wheels in my head turning.
I bought a huge pack of Gale Force green stuff and got to work on this vindi ... honestly I figured that if I screwed up it was no loss since I never really used it.
I started with the GS in the top hatch with the Nurglings, but then got a brilliant idea and added the bodies from a corpse cart to the Seige Shield and before you know it, I had something pretty exiting going on.
For about two hours a day over the course of a week, I would add some green stuff to it and pick away with a long scewer stick (the kind you eat Kababs from.) Now I am at the point where I think I am happy with the GS work and I think I will add some battle damage. Nothing too harsh, just some pits from loyalist bolter fire and such.
I would love some feedback and wouldn't mind hearing some comments or critisism. Let me know what you think.
You will see more of this bad boy in the future,
