I've seen this sort of portal attempted a number of times -- it is simply the Warhammer Fantasy arcane ruins (in this case with pillars from the temple of skulls, I believe) with a portal attached to it. The portal pictured here is a swirly sheet painted in purples and pink / reds. Ideal for an objective for daemons or chaos space marines, or for locating a warp rift (etc.).

What are embedded in plague marine shoulders?
These shoulder pads are from the Forge World conversion kit for plague marines. The observant will notice that they contain three embedded spheres, each of which has holes in them. They seem to be poking out of the shoulder pad, causing cracks where they protrude.
My question for today is this: what are they?!?! I've seen them on other Death Guard related miniatures, such as Typhus, but I'm just not sure what they're supposed to be? Nests for the destroyer hive critters? Or something else? Opinions welcome!

About to face off against loyalist space marines derived from Guilliman's geneseed, the Dragon Ogre Shaggoth Daemon Prince prowls around the edges of a fortress of redemption.

Shambling Plaguebearer of Nurgle
This is a plaguebearer sculpt that I fondly refer to as the Shambler Model. This particular chap has been base-coated with a semi-random blend of leathery yellows, browns and subtle greens. Several washes of brown later, and the miniature's diseased flesh is brought together in to an unwholesome entity.
As with many plaguebearers, this model has a variety of sores and pus-filled spots scattered over its body. These have been variously picked out with reds, pinks, yellows and cream colours.
Meanwhile, the chains and metallic portions are painted in a rusty bronze colour whilst the plaguesword is done in my odd blue colour to give him a sense of unity with the rest of the Nurgle outfit that I field.
The base has a mixture of fine black grit (dry-brushed in grey), with flock, scatter, and cast-off metal bits and hirst arts odds-and-ends.

Purple Horror of Tzeentch
I can't say that I'm a particular fan of the "beaks" on some of the new plastic horror models. Sure, it looks Tzeentch-like and all mutation-esque, but I'm just not a fan. I saw that some other painters approached them by painting them in metallic colours, and I've tried to follow-suit here. I'm actually half-tempted to paint a free-hand stylized Tzeentch symbol on to the beak to make it a bit more unique looking.
The rest of the miniature is painted in varying degrees of purple to almost an off-red or magenta highlight colour, with a blue tongue. The feathers were picked out with bleached bone and the accessories with gold paint. The claws are two-toned, but I might experiment with starting with a darker colour for the next miniature.
