Nurgle Dreadnought - back from the scrapyard


I bought this for a couple of pounds on eBay in a fairly shot up condition. Alittle bit of TLC and a lick of paint and our blood-crazed friend is ready to squish his way across the Imperium. Old knocked-about models are fine for Chaos and Orky armies. Never overlook them for some reinforcements on the cheap.

    That's disgusting, John! Well done. ;) Excellent point about using cheaper, less-than-perfect models for Chaos and Ork armies. It can be a lot of fun shopping for conversion parts when you aren't particularly concerned about their condition.

    Nice merger of the demon prince arm onto the dread. Nice and smooth, looks like it comes that way. Good choice for Nurgle too with the strangely warped skin.

    Ahh great job there :) Reminds me of my ole nurgle dread. The thing is so full of green stuff and its an old metal standard marine dread. When I was living in Las Vegas we had a bulldog and he actually grabbed it and carted it out into the back yard and gnawed on it for a good bit before I realized what had happened. Well I picked it up and cleaned it off and honestly it just enhanced the look. Fortunately I wasn't done painting it yet :) ... true story ... anyway bravo and PRAISE THE GRANDFATHER!

    I think my favorite thing about this mini is the fact that it all seems to be one piece. Instead of it looking manufactured it looks like it was grown. I imagine it making loads of squishing noises as it maims the enemies of the Plague-Father.

    Dear Papa,
    Thanks, I aim for disgusting with Nurgle. My ideal is a student hangover after a 48 hour party.

    Dear Steve. I have to admit a previous owner - I suspect there have been several - was responsible for the left arm. I made the right arm from some old bits.

    Dear Excess
    I have the rabbit daemon. He gets very interested when I set something up to photo. First he tests it for edibility and then whether it makes a nice noise if you throw it round the garden.

    Dear Chris
    Squishy - a good word for Nurgle.
