This is Hell O' Ween 2013, DFG's Celebration of our Favorite Time of Year!

It is no secret that the authors, friends and readers of Dark Future Games all have an obsession with the Darker Side of the hobby (some more secret than others, but they all love the dark in one way or another). Last year, we decided to celebrate that obsession with a month of posts themed toward the more evil or dark aspects of the games we play. With that being said, we will be exploring that evil side again this month for Hell O' Ween 2013, but before we officially kick things off, let's take a look at a few hits from last year:

Happy Hell O' Ween from DFG! If You Missed It, Live it Again with us!

Happy Halloween (or should I say Hell O' Ween) from the DFG crew. Halloween is one of our favorite holidays and being a bunch of dudes who like creepy and over the top conversions, this is a great month for us to show you what we like and what we are working with! We celebrated hard this month with our own Hell O' Ween articles compiled here. For those of you who didn't join is let's take a look at what it was all about:

Building a Better Iron Warrior with Third Party Bits!

Old School here with more of my "Building a Better Chaos Space Marine series" and while I was just going to do an undivided post, I am coming across more and more great stuff every day and we will actually be looking at building a better Iron Warrior today and we will do so looking at 3rd party bits. I would also like to say, these kits would be great for building pretty much any mech aligned Marine Legion, whether it be Iron Hands or their successors or even some of the Salamanders. Anyway, let's take a look at a post filled with bionic bits!

Mantic Zombies Review

Old School here with a review of the Mantic Zombies sprue. Zombies have always been a hit with war gamers and our special geek culture in general, but with the re-introduction of Plague Zombies into 40k, the zombie craze is officially hitting our tables in miniature form. Let's take a look at what I believe may be the best zombie kit for your money.

Hellworm Part 4: Progress! Screw Drakes, We Got Worms!

 Old School here with another update for Project Hellworm, my Nurgle Heldrake scratchbuild! For those of you just tuning in to this series, the last update had me stumped and the project had hit  a speed bump. With the help of some reader opinions, inspiration from the web and warp induced dreams, I found my path. Let's take a look at what we have so far.

Yellow Necron Scythe: Sightings!

Old School here and with a local tourney coming up, I have decided to bring a fully painted Necron army. The list call for two scythes and since I had none of mine painted, the time had come to baste these croissants in delicious yellow paint! Let's take a look:

How To: DIY Mechandrites for Your Warpsmith and a Look at my Perturabo!

 Old School here with a little DIY mechandrite tutorial and also to show off my Perturabo for the Iron Warriors. Perturabo is the primarch of the Iron Warriors, for those of you who don't know, but he will likely fill the role of a Terminator Lord in my forces or maybe even Abbadon. Why the Mechandrites then? Why not!

Building a Better Plague Marine with 3rd Party, Standard Parts and Green Stuff Sculpting!

Old School here with another installment of the Building a Better Chaos Space Marine series. In this edition, we will be looking at various parts and options out there for everyone's favorite fatties, the Plague Marines! After we get past all the products out there, we will take a look at a great Green Stuff Tutorial as well.

A Kickstarter That Will Give You Worms!

Old School here with a great way to support a company that has been making great miniatures for some time now get even better and earn yourself some amazing Maggot/ Worm models in the process for next to nothing! Check out this kickstarter!

Project Hellworm Part 3: Hellworm Needs Your Help!

Old School here with an update/ request for ideas for Project Hellworm, my efforts at a really gross Heldrake replacement for my Death Guard. Let's take a look at the good before we get to the bad.

It Came From the Forums: GuitaRasmus' Chaos Marine Projects!

Old School here with one of the best It Came From the Forums Posts I think I have presented in recent memory. Today we look at GuitaRasmus' Legio Morbidus, World Eaters and more. First though, we will look at a project that is so amazing and original, that I am sure it will spark many similar conversions and certainly inspired my own Hellworm Project - This fly monster based off of the Arachnarok kit and bashed together with green stuff, Ork bits and scratch built rotors! The hell drake should be very jealous of this nasty bug! Let's look at what else this artist has in store for us!

Building a Better Thousand Son with 3rd Party and standard parts!

All is Dust! Old School here with another installment of the "Building a Better ...." series. Today we will be looking at what is out there to help us build a better Thousand Son! The Thousand Sons can be an incredible legion to work with when it comes to crafting a specific look. There are a number of companies out there that make excellent parts that could fit into their theme, so let's take a look at what is out there.

Corrupted Flesh Tutorial

Old School here to talk about how I paint corrupted flesh on my Nurgle models, like this big guy in the photo above. The method is really just that ... a process and it can be easily replicated. If you are up for it, let's get started:

Project Hellworm: Part 2, Things get ugly!

Old School here with the second in a series of posts of my latest project, the Hellworm, which will take its place in my Chaos Space Marine army as a Helldrake. Since our last look, I have expanded the Green Stuff work across the whole head and up the spine. Let's take a closer look at this handsome fellow.

Winged Nurgle Daemon Prince with Zombie Base Refreshed!

Old School here with another model from the Chaos Refresh Project I am running my old models through. This time we are looking at my old Nurgle Daemon Prince (with Balrog wings). Here is the model with the new paintjob above and here is the old one below:

Project Hellworm: Scratchbuilding a Nurgle HellDrake Part 1

Old School Terminator here with my latest project for the Chaos Marines: The Hellworm, or Maggot Dragon or whatever it eventually gets called. Having a healthy amount of Death Guard and other Nurgle-themed Chaos stuff, I naturally thought of how I would convert a Helldrake to fit in with my Death Guard ... but then I could really see it working out. I started to imagine something much fouler in my mind and with my maggot themed bases, I started to develop an idea ...

Nurgle Ultraforge Great Unclean One Reborn!

Old School here with another Nurgle treat for Hell'O'Ween! This time, we are looking at the Greater Plague Daemon from Ultraforge (though the model is no longer available). This model is awesome and has tons of layers of torn meat and muscle to work with! I don't really play Daemons at the moment, but with the allies system and the fact that all of my lesser and greater daemons just became inert ... well, I may just have to. With that said, let's take a look at the model!

Building A Better Khorne Berzerker with 3rd Party and Standard Parts

Old School here with the second installment of posts focused on building better Chaos Marines. This time we are going to talk about Khorne Berzerkers and Khorne Marked Marines. The berzerker is a special kind of evil to me as he is the embodiment of rage, the full, violent potential of the Adeptus Astartes unleashed, unbound by the chains of discipline! The only problem is that the GW khorne Berzerker kit is a little dated. Let's look at bits and kits that will help you build a better Khornate Marine!

Death Guard Possessed Vindicator: The Canker!

Old School here with a post about a model that is near and dear to my rotten heart ... I speak of course of my Nurgle Vindicator. This model has been through a lot and seen quite a bit of paint, but let's take a look at the fresh coat I laid down on it before we get all nastalgic.
I made this Vindicator back in early 2009 in the infant days of Dark Future Games and in fact, this was the first conversion I ever featured on the blog. It has been called many names, but it has found it's permanent name: Canker.

DFG Network: Top Posts of the Week Oct 8!

The Hell' O' Ween theme continues with more evil! Old School here kicking off this week's DFG Network Top Posts. Topping my list is this true scale Kharn the Betrayer from Master of the Forge! This is absolutely incredible!
