Following the completion of the champion for my squad of Nurgle worshipping terminators I decided to strike whilst the iron was hot and get the squad’s icon bearer finished off as well. You may recall that last time we saw him he looked like this:
At the time I felt that he was rather waspish in the waist – all fine and well for Slaanesh’s image-conscious lovers but hardly acceptable for Nurgle, whose followers are rotund and jolly to a man. Before he saw any paint I needed to build up the belly, and give him some appropriately horrible guts into the bargain. All of that brings him to this; finished at last.
Here’s the whole squad (so far) together.
Excitingly the squad’s fourth member is now almost finished so I’m going to crack on and see if I can get him done too. As before – watch this space!

Sheer awesomeness – loving this squad!

Cheers mate – one more to come (very soon!)

I’m really liking this group mate. Very cool! Love that big rusted blade and the rusted chains on the banner. The guts look nicely rotten too.

The banner and the sword are two of my favourite bits from the Blight Kings box so really the whole model developed from there – I wanted to use them together in pretty much the pose shown, the rest of the modelling was working out how to fill the gap! Glad you like him!

I keep meaning to buy the Blight Kings.

I highly recommend them. Not as versatile as they could be, but a goldmine for parts.

I remember you telling me before and that’s why they’re on the list. I bought some gripping beast and frodtgrave minis last night. I’m hoping they will tie in well with my Bretonnian force.

Looking forward to seeing that 🙂

You my friend are on a roll! Nurgle is pleased. Very inspiring.
June 10th, 2016 at 6:36 am
Cheers – just so long as he doesn’t bless me! 🙂

Loving these! The cloth between his legs is a really nice touch that adds a lot to the model.

Cheers! Yeah, it just didn’t work without it. Trying that was a bit of a “eureka” moment – after that the whole thing came together quite quickly.
