The Lost and the Damned

Fantastic!

Here's my Holy Grail miniature - I spent a lot of time on ebay unsuccessfully hunting this fell down, only for the very kind Graham Bailey of this community to help me out. A joy to eventually get some paint on him for the first time:

And the final two Nurgle Champions to complete the set (both of these are converted to give me a bigger banner and a better weapon respectively). The banner is based on some Ian Miller artwork and I've added some Nurglings to represent a Nurgling Infestation gift:

And in order to introduce some purple and yellow to the palette of the group:

And the group shot - an Oldhammer dream achieved - all the Citadel Champions of Nurgle collected and painted:

Happy days!

Wow.
Just wow.

Love the banner especially.

Excellent work, indeed!

I love the Champions of Nurgle in your choice of colours, very inspiring!

The mossy basing is also refreshingly different...and the banners...these banners!

Chapeau!

Fabulous work and so good to see Nurgle followers in a wider colour pallet after all pus is multi coloured

I've just finished this Dragon Ogre Shaggoth to add to my Lost and the Damned horde. He could be rolled up on the retinue table and would be a pretty menacing prospect in a chaos warband, especially if he does become a level 25 hero (1 in 10 chance):

And here's a bit of background from p.154 of the Lost and the Damned:

"When forks of lightning sunder the night sky and the roar of thunder sends children running to their parents in terror, the people of Kislev say that the Dragon Ogres are fighting each other on the peaks of the World's Edge Mountains. A traveller, a mule skinner or miner huddled in a cave to shelter from mountain storms might see the battling Shaggoths and Sharunocks, as the oldest Dragon Ogres are called, silhouetted against the night sky by lightning-flashes. When the lightning falls in the night, as the tales proclaim, the Dragon Ogres are wakened from their death-like slumbers. As they stir they bellow with the thunder rolls and emerge to fight each other for the chance to become a Champion of Chaos."

My version was hugely inspired by Ivan Bartleet's original conversion from the 80's, but obviously using the more modern sculpt (it's pretty impressive and been on my want list for a while) and with the additions of a carrion for the eagle and some Nurgly sculpted details:

Wowzer! Looks stunning

Some pretty cool work going on in this thread. They look both Lost, and suitably Damned.
