Marauders - Model 1 - Conversion

This my first test piece at converting an Empire figure (in this case a gunner) into a Nurgle Marauder. I replaced the gun with an axe and gave him a knackered shield. I also gave him a mangled foot and a horn bursting through his helmet.

Pieces used:

Body - Empire gunner

Axe hand - Blightkings

Shield - Vampire Counts Mortis Engine

Foot - Plague Drone Rider

Horn - random spiky bit from somewhere

Here is a comparison between the original Empire gunner and the converted Nurgle Marauder.

Knights - Model 1 - Conversion

I thought Id keep the first knight model pretty simple. Just a regular trooper with a relatively simple conversion. Not much green stuff, only really used for the back of the head. The rest was just a matter of aging the horses armour.

Pieces used:

Head, arms, shoulders - Blightkings

Body, legs - Knights

Horse - Knights

Blightkings - Model 1 - Conversion

This is my first Blightking model, which I may use as the Champion depending on how the others come out. It is also my first real attempt at using green stuff to cover the gaps between different model kit pieces. I had fun trying to make the greenstuff skin look all nurglily. I also damaged the hooked swords some more to make them look more used / rusted.

Pieces used:

Head - Plague Beaers

Body - Blightkings

Arms - Dragon Ogres

Daemon Prince

This is only a quick WIP set up of what the Daemon Prince pieces will be. I used the body of a Plague Drone, with 2 sets of larger wings, and one of the heads with the long mouth. His head from the Maggoth Lord kit and the legs are from the undead zombie dragon. I am using the triple tongue from the Maggoth Lord kit for a tail and the arms are the axe arm from the Daemon Prince kit and the Claw arm from the Spawn kit.

At the moment its more a pile that a model. I will need to build this slowly piece by piece and then use a fair amount of green stuff before he starts to look like the final idea that I have.

Maggoth Lord

I like the Maggoth Lord kit but felt that the tongue options were a little weak, thus I used the tentacle mouth piece from the Vortex Beast to really give this Maggoth Lord a terrifying look. I chose to use the most Nurglingy looking rider to fit the rest of the army.

Lord on Daemonic Mount

In the random bag of bits I bough off trademe there was the Gorebeast model from the chariot kit and I really wanted to use it. I decided to use it as a Daemonic Mount for a Nurgle Lord. To make the Lord I havev used the Sorcerers body and Scythe from the Maggoth Lord kit, the antlered head and the giant axe from the Blightkings kit , some legs from the Hellstriders kit and the Daemon head shield from the knights kit. This will require a fair amount of green stuff work but Im hoping the final result will look great.

Sorcerer on Palanquin

I had a bunch of Nurglings left over from the Pestilent Swarm boxed set that I didn't know what to do with. I also had some left over chariot pieces from the random bag of bits that I bought so I thought I'd combine them to make a Palanquin of Nurgle. Then, to make the Sorcerer I took the body of a Vampire Necromancer I hadnt finished painting, used the Sorcerer head from the Maggoth Lord kit, the 3 heads arm from the Plague bearer kit and the banner pole arm from the Ungor kit I got off Hoard o'bits. The staff top came from the Blightking kit and the chains I got from the bag of bits from trademe. To make him extra Nurgly I added a bunch of tentacles from the Forsaken kit, both as feet and an extra cluster on his left shoulder.

Warriors

I wanted my Warriors to look very Nurgly so I have used the Plague bearer bodies with some Warrior helmets and shields. The weapons will be a combination of various sources. The champion has the champion cloak from the Warriors of Chaos boxed set with one of the left over torsos from the Blightkings kit. I want to give them the cloaks from the High Elves White Lions but Hoard o'bits is currently out of stock. The banner top is from 40k and the musicians flail bells are from the Blightkings kit.

Forsaken

Using the forsaken boxed set and topping it up 5 extra bodies from some Black Orcs I have a unit of 15. I have used larger bases to make it a 5 by 4 unit, so that the unit Champion can be on a 50mm base as he is a true monster. At the moment I have yet to really sort out the arms and heads for most of them, but they will pretty much be made from left overs from every other kit.
