Great Champion of Nurgle - now completed

[Bluey Zarzov]

Timbor-Rex - great champion of Nurgle (his name may change)

Thanks to Timbor for the minis. I got to work straightening, filing, soaking, brushing and greenstuffing, snipping, gluing and now I wait for it all to dry.

Timbor-Rex

Gift of Nurgle - Face of a plaguebearer (I turned him into a cyclops)
Chaos Attribute #1 Growth 3x size.
Chaos Attribute#2 Plaguebearer - Creeping Buboes


I'm sure that's just the beginning...

Nice work - who makes the mini?

Re: Great Champion of Nurgle

Quoting from psiekier:

"The weird-looking guy is Alakhai, Nepharite of Algaroth, from the Warzone/Mutant Chronicles line of games. Looks like his sword has broken off."




As soon as I saw him I knew he was gonna be my new Nurgle champ.

I used a spare Orc arm for the hand which matched perfectly - a VERY old sceptre from... Duplo?.. I think, with the crucifix cut off, a chain from the Marauders set and the flail from the Chaos Knights set.

The rest was all cut, file and greenstuff.

Bronze armour with corrosion and verdigris.

Nice work, you've made a fairly ugly (in the wrong way!) mini look positively radiant! Amazing what some facial reconstruction will do!

I remember seeing that Nepharite on LAF! You've really done a great job with him, and the single-eye conversion reveals his existing Plaguebearer-ness.

If you ever see the Nepharite of Demnogonis with Plague Cannon, he makes an amazing 40K Nurgle champ.

Re: Great Champion of Nurgle

All done and based.

Used a citadel red wash on the buboes - wow they look painful!

Used a brown, brown red for the rust on the Great Flail with orange stippling.

When doing up his cloak, I research some google images on "old drapes" and found this hideous goldish green stanky old 70's curtains that looked like they had never been washed.
His prize from sacking a temple.

Look out for that Nurgle Death's Head at his sash. The thing looks like it was made from the skull of a Bloodletter.

woahh, he's a big lad isn't he, suitably champion like.
Lovely stuff.

Aye, he is quite large, but a good choice for a champ.

For 3rd ed Attributes his size actually gives him a -1WS and -1 Initiative, but he rocks on Strength and Toughness and Movement. Additional Wounds too!
The buboes slow him down a little, -1 M, -1 Initiative (very painful!)
The 2 handed Great Flail slows him down more too - 2 Initiative but +2 Str
Gore attack on charge +2 to hit

Sweet!

His Nemesis is going to be Zhim of Khorne from Skittifink.
