I did this plaguebearer as a warm-up before painting the converted blightking.
I simply adore the plastic plaguebearers - they look exactly like Adrian Smiths illustrations in Realm of Chaos. They're also ridiculously fun to paint.
While fairly new models, they have a lot of oldschool charm with grinning jovial faces instead of angry ones, tiny nurglings mischievously pulling on intestines and so on. The only thing I don't like are the swords who look like pointy sticks so that was replaced.
Here he is next to the rest of Mawgut Gloops warband.
Nice warband my friend ! I love the colours, it gives an impression of a sepia photo... Old school vibe, rusty, dirty... hell yeah NURGLE ! love the different sizes that really add to the warband's visual
ReplyDeleteThanks mate! i'll mail you the pics later today!
DeleteVery nice - love the blue horn and tongue!
ReplyDeleteCheers! I do seem unable to stay away from that blue-green spot colour...
ReplyDeleteOnce again Mr. Egerkrans: great job! Love the skintone.
ReplyDeleteThank you mr. Rambler!
DeleteBeautiful work as usual - really inspiring for my own Nurgle work, both with the conversions and the painting.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of service! ;-)
DeleteThe sword switch was a great choice - I too am not a fan of the pointy standard option they come with.
ReplyDeleteReally great PB. Your colouring for nurgle skin schemes is perfect.
That's a lovely warband, Jeff!
ReplyDeleteI like the different sizes of models, and the way your colour scheme links them together.
It is hard to tell which one I like the most... Probably the one based on the Ork Runtherd for it is the most unexpected conversion! He looks really grim too!
I while probably steal the idea for a Hearlad of Nurgle conversion if that's alright...
Great stuff!

You go right ahead and steal whatever ideas you want, Morbäck!
DeleteCan´t wait to see your take on him...
Very detailed, though I believe it should lance its abscesses! Don't you think so?
ReplyDeleteYeah. Probably get a flu shot as well...
DeleteReally nice stuff. I guess I'm a little bit late (like a year and half), so I'm not sure if you'll see this. But what did you use for the plaguebearer's blade?
