Yesterday I cobbled together the final Blightking for the five man unit. He, or rather it, is the standardbearer for the group. I gave him a fly head from the plaguebearer kit that was kindly donated to me by Erik - a fitting mutation as flies are a recurring motif in the warbands heraldry.
Once this misfit is painted I'll move on to the sorceror and round out the chaos warriors.
Great work, I'm looking forwards to se the whole group painted. I'm also exited about what I see in the background.
ReplyDeleteCheers Wilhelm!
DeleteThe ones in the background, yes... They're a super-duper-sneaky preview of some of the Pylgrym stuff I'm working on. More on that later...
The head is offputting now but I'd reckon after painting it'll look great.
ReplyDeleteHaha. It's meant to be off-putting... ;-)
DeleteI've always been a fan of emphasizing the fly motif in Nurgle modelling. I like this quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteCheers Odie! Flies are cool.
DeleteI love how the fly head and pose combine to make him seem as he's leering at his next voctim, and lurching forward to attack.
ReplyDeleteIt gives the impression that his bulk affects him, like wearing heavy plate.
Well... Let's just say he's probably not the world fastest sprinter...
DeleteI think that's my favorite part about Nurgle's servants,the death they bring may not be swift, but it is inevitable.
DeleteQuite so
DeleteWell done mate ! "Bee aware of the fly headed one !" Nice choice of banner, better than the original one, and more on a classic way !
ReplyDeleteThanks Manu! There's lots of room for some freehand on that banner...
DeleteVery nice will look solid once painted. Also, we see those mini's in the background you "coincidentally" forgot to move to take this picture you sly dog ;) Interest thoroughly piqued.
ReplyDeleteHehe... It shalt all be revealed in time.
DeleteI do love a good fly head on nurgle figs. Solid kit bash sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai! Fly head feels like a no-brainer on a follower of Nurgle!
DeleteThe background is looking MIGHTY INTERESTING! :)
