Papas boy

Here's the latest recruit to those rascally Nugle Boys. Don't have a proper name for him yet so I'll just go with Mean Machine for now.





By popular demand - here's a groupshot of all the latest nurglii models:



There'll be more to come. I think the crew is a bit of a sausage fest at the moment ( though strictly speaking the plaguebearers are Ken-dolls in the genital department...) so I'm thinking a girl or two.

EDIT:

I got rid of the blue detailing on the gatling that some people (including me) found distracting.

  2. Never thought that I'd ever see "sausage fest" and Nurgle would be used in the same sentence.... O_o

    Bloody funny though.

    Wonderful finished result.

  3. Love these guys... al of them! Al the colours and textures are just brilliant.
    Would love to see you do a nurgle-fied girl character, too. Should be interesting :)

    1. Yeah... Not sure which model to base her on, but I'm leaning towards banshee...

  4. Your colour pallet across these is briliant - and the bases tie in perfectly.

    I love that look you get from the washes over the metallic parts - are you using powders as washes, or just thinning acrylic paints?

    1. Thanks!

      No powders - it's just reikland fleshshade and diluted brown and orange.

  7. As I said on the ammo, he's perfect! Reminds me Kuato from the original Total Recall!

    1. Hehe. That's an interesting reference... The main sources of inspiration was actually the heavy terminator in Terminator Salvation and Mean Machine Angel from Judge Dredd...

  8. I was thinking today about the "girl" nurgle followers, and it occured to me that playing on the swollen belly/pregnancy angle might produce some interesting results... particularly with a plague bearer that has a nurgling reaching out....

    1. Hmmm... Body horror a la Croenenbergs "The Brood"? Not a bad idea but I´ve got another in the works to start with. That idea is great though!
