On a roll with the Nurgle theme, the other night I painted another Nurgle Lord for the 40K army. This one is based on the new GW plastic Nurgle Lord multi-part model and "40K-ized" by adding a plasma pistol.
I really like how this model came out - I used copious amounts of the excellent
Modelmates "Rust Effects" product in various ways - ranging from layering it thickly on the axe blade, to drybrushing it onto the armour.
Holstered plasma pistol as a nod to 40K usage.
Shiny entrails mandatory.
The other models I painted were a couple of the old Grenadier "Imperial Space Marines" they made for the Traveller game back in the early-mid '80s. I had the boxed set but foolishly parted with it years ago, and thought they might be a neat power-armoured supplement to my
true-25mm "Hammers Slammers" infantry (actually GZG NAC).
This guy is a heavy weapons gunner with a neat-looking missile set-up.
The other is a casualty model that will do nicely for a game objective.
I have about 9 more of these models on the way from various sources, but
if you have any going spare please let me know in the comments and we
can make a deal :-)
Great Nurgle champion, he looks suitably disgusting! And I really have to get my hands on that 'rust in a bottle' product, thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteNice job very grimy, Father wil be pleased ;0)
ReplyDeleteNice work Dallas, I love the figure especially his colon lying partially on the handle!
ReplyDeleteExcellent Nurgle lord. Exquisite rust!
ReplyDeleteThat nurgle guy is making my flu feel worse again...
ReplyDeleteAre those "Imperial Space Marines" of the fabled "true 25mm" scale?
Thanks for the comments guys!
ReplyDeleteGreg - indeed they are of the legendary 25mm scale. I think they should mix well as power armoured versions of the GZG humans I'm using for the Slammers.
That does indeed look a nasty Nurgle
ReplyDeletelike the casualty too
