Chaos Knight Titan: Maggot Knight

This is the start of my maggot knight, (a Nurgle aligned Chaos knight). I will be looking for advice once I get further into it. But right now I mainly want some suggestions on names and if possible a height measurement so I can build it properly.

The Monster

Here are some pictures of the tank for which this thread is named. It still isn't done yet, and these pics don't have a lot of the accessories, but please enjoy.

The Chaos Eldar Project - Possessed Eldar also known as Mandrakes

So I have started some possessed Eldar units. Since mandrakes are pretty close alread, they will likely be minor modifications.

The Chaos Eldar Project - Eldar Obliterators

So, I see no reason why Eldar could not be infected by the obliterator virus, so here is my first such creation. I still need to finish the head, and then it is off to painting. I will probably just end up using the regular obliterator rules. As for the model, it started as one of the warmachine light myrmadons which I added some greenstuff and dark/Eldar weaponry to.

Second one is started

UPDATE: 14.12.2014
First one is painted.
I thought dark blue with a little reddish/purple tint and glowing blue lines would look cool. It did, but it also came out "in midnight clad." Ah well, I think it looks good.

Chaos Black Primer
Heavily watered down Enchanted Blue
Heavily watered down Liche Purple where that didn't end up in a splotchy type deal.

I think I then put another level of the enchanted blue.

Then Carrionburg Crimson
Then Enchanted Blue lines.
Leadbelcher on guns.
Nuln Oil on guns.

Caliban Green on mutations

Nuln oil on everything but the mutations.

Skull White over the lines.

Goblin Green on the mutations.

Watered down Enchanted Blue over the white.

Two heavy coats of Reikland Fleshshade on the mutations.

Gems were then done with the 1.2/3.1/3.white highlight method with either Enchanted Blue with mixed in Skull White or for the eye lense, Scab Red, Red Gore, Blood Red. Some of the gems actually got started before the Nuln Oil, but I don't think it made a difference. 

I still need to gloss varnish the gems. I think it looks pretty good if I say so myself, even if it is too much a Night Lord.

UPDATE: 19.01.2015

More work done on the second one, also the third one is beginning to form.

I have added some spilling out intestines to the second one, but pics will have to wait until they are more dry.

UPDATE: 10.02.2015
Second one is in a preprime state, I am pretty happy about the intestines.

Aelianus The Pristine

Aelianus the Pristine
He keeps his armour in brightest polish, even by the standards of the Hoardkeepers. He also continues to display the imperial aquila in mockery of his former masters. He wears a modified flamer of his own design, rather than shoot flaming promethium, it vomits forth a stream of molten gold supplied by great furnaces affixed to the back of his armour. It covers his enemies in a thick layer of optically pleasing gold as it muffles their dying screams. He often pauses in battle to admire such creations, the best of which he earmarks for future use as statues, the rest he hacks apart and throws back into the furnace to be melted down and weaponized once more, bone, flesh, blood, and gold.
Now fully based.

Escharon

“When the Warmaster leaves for the Gate, we will fight for him. When the Warmaster strikes down planet after planet on his path to Terra we will fight for him. When the Warmaster lays siege to the imperial palace, we will fight for him. And all that with no expectation of thanks or gratitude in word, in action, or in object. But in the mean time, whilst Abbadon sends mewling pawns to beg for bread with nothing to offer but hollow words and empty promises; in the mean time, whilst he asks for my knights and my beasts and my weapons of war; in the mean time, whilst he wheedles and worms his way to power; he gets nothing from me he doesn’t pay for. Go back to your fell master and tell him that my price is not for negotiation.”
-King Escharon of the Tide of Blood

Name: Escharon “The Cthonian” “The King of Scars”

Rank: King

"Warband": Tide of Blood

Gear: Stolen Grey Knight Terminator Armor, Combi Melta, Soulthief (Daemon Halberd), Power Fist

Rules: Hasn’t been used this edition.

King Escharon was the son of one of the barbarian kings of Cthonis. He was one of the first to be inducted into Horus’s legion, for he knew power was that way. He fought strongly and valiantly to protect the freedoms of the imperial people during the crusades, and was very close with several members of the XVII legion. He also was one of the first to turn to the dark gods after the events of Davin’s Moon.

As he saw the uprising failing, he went into the Eye of Terror in the hopes of being flung back in time to a place where he could assure Horus’s victory. Unsurprisingly, he failed, but he has never stopped. The years have been long for him. The time he spends in the unstable portions of the warp mean he has spent 20,000 years traveling since the heresy, kept alive by the will of the four. He has outlasted many suits of power armour, and has recently hunted down Grey Knights to keep himself stocked with armour better able to survive the rigors of the Tzeentchian warpspace he often frequents.

His travels have taught him much. He has learned to tame a great number of warpspawn and other foul creatures, a massive possessed Land Raider called simply the Beast, has served as his mount on many an occasion. After falling out with the rest of the Black Legion due to their lack of honor for their forefather, he has attracted to himself a great many warlords with his philosophy of faith. “All death pleases the four, the spilt blood and sundered body please the lord of battle, the rotting corpse pleases the lord of decay, the pain and suffering inflicted please the lord of excess, and the transitions from life to death and those that occur in the tide of battle please the lord of change.”

Recently, Escharon has been looking for a way to open a portal back to the original siege of Terra. Ideally he would open it when the hordes of Abbadon’s thirteenth black crusade are once more at the gate. Escharon fights to find a way to undo the past and create a truly free empire of men, lead in the name of Horus. And of course, no man better understands his primarch than Escharon, the Cthonian.

Escharon’s gifts in dealing with beasts have lead him to amass an enormous host of daemon engines, some created from Titans. He seeks out the most difficult to control and offers to take them or tame them for a price. But many will only follow his will alone. Over time he has collected many like minded individuals and now has no need for ties with the dark mechanicus to keep his armies supplied. He does keep loose ties though, because the dark mechanicus are often a good source of recruits and inspiration for Escharon, and they seek to understand how he controls such creatures as it would make it much easier than the bindings they use, which while much more effective on a wide scale, are perhaps not quite as efficient in terms of sacrifices.

The Tide of Blood: Although nominally a force under the banner of the Black Legion, the Tide has much more in common, and perhaps better relations, with the warbands originally of the Word Bearers Legion. They make extensive use of daemons and daemonically possessed machines and have absorbed hundreds of warbands over the millennia. There name comes from a spell wrought by the sorcerous elite of any given detachment before battle. The skies fill with rains of blood over the Tide’s forces and the fields of battle are dyed red with it. (Note it has been suggested that the use of corrupted thunderhawk transporters or other technology to just physically dump large barrels of blood over the battlefield before battle may also occur.) After each battle, if possible, towers of arcane and foul design are set up over the battlefields and used to reabsorb the blood succored by the newly dead. WIP Pics:

So I scratch built this from some base sprue and some index cards a while back. I finally got around to painting it.
