After photobucket turned most of our beloved blogs into mush realisation that I may have lost a lot myself I went on a hunt for lost photos. Here was the favourite mini I painted back in 2014. Thought it was lost to the ether, pleased I found it.
Dedicated to repainting old citadel miniatures.

On the workbench - Basing a monster like Glottkin
I guess I'm kind of cheating with a theme like the garden of nurgle as you'd expect I could glue any backyard detritus to a base and call it finished, but I did put a little effort in. Especially with the tree, as the citadel forest straight out of the box is unconvincing.
One neat trick I found was using PVA glue and superglue. They react with each other and form a tough wrinkled skin surface. It's nice and organic, making covering large areas much easier than using tones of greenstuff.

And then there is the invaluable instant mould. Heat it up, press onto a surface then run under cool water and save yourself hours of sculpting. Great stuff.
A review has already been done on Chest of colors so I won't cover any more here.
On the workbench - Chaos Rot Knight Champion
I guess the model could be used as a hero level character too, but for now he'll just be a challenge monkey.
On the workbench - Chaos Rot Knights
I can't use skull crushers in an all nurgle army for fluffy reasons, so I'll need another hammer unit which can somewhat replace them. Ten chaos knights are that unit.
Used plenty of bits from the blightkings box set, GW supplied a load of spare pieces with the kit and they can in handy. Also liquid greenstuff is handy for adding a rusty texture to metal, in fact I'd say it's the only use for liquid greenstuff :)
Nurgle Hellcannon crew
The hellcannon is going to be a maggoth lord monster kit with rider removed. Seemed more appropriate to have nurglings instead of chaos dwarves.
Necromunda - Wyrd Pyromaniac - Hired Gun
Finished. I would have preferred the heat damage on the sword to be localised and the blending of the fire could have been smoother, but I like the composition of the model, as well as the contrast.
On the Workbench - Necromunda Pyromaniac / Hired Gun
I'm taking part in another competition over at YakTribe:
Kitbash and paint a model to represent another forum member. I couldn't help myself and chose a guy called Flamekebab.

This is how far I've got with him.
Warriors of Chaos - Nurgle Marauders
Grand-father Nurgle welcomes all into his embrace. As opposed to the other Ruinous Powers of Chaos, many of Nurgle's followers do so by no choice of their own. The taint of Nurgle spreads readily among beast and humanoid alike, and the awful ailment known as Nurgle's Rot may strike even the strongest and cause him to be outcast as a leper.
Despite the nature of his influence, Nurgle does take an interest in the victims of the diseases he unleashes (which he considers to be "gifts"), jovially caring for them in a manner similar to that of a loving grandfather; for this reason he is frequently referred to by his cultists as Grandfather Nurgle. This also causes some individuals that would have otherwise never been infected to seek out infectious disease or even poison themselves to earn his favor.
As the Chaos God of disease and decay, Nurgle's followers are often equally interested in the spread of disease. His followers become infected with horrific diseases which cause them to appear bloated and rotting, or wizened, sickly and pale. His Champions often become so mutated and putrid that they are impervious to pain and almost impossible to injure.
After some heavy converting I've built another 50 marauders to make a total of 80. These were built using a variety of bits (plague bearers, gor and flagellants). Damn fun to convert. Plan to run a couple of 25-30 units, instead of one large horde, but for grand games I will run a 60+.
Also got a unit filler which I'm painting up along with the marauders. A plague ogre on a 50mm base.
Especially enjoyed the great weapon conversions, the fella with the blood letter sword looks bad ass, if I do say so myself. Really hope the new book doesn't make them useless.
