"The Lord Of Disease Delights In Decay And Physical Corruption."

"The cycle of putrefaction, rebirth and morbidity draws Nurgle the way a corpse draws flies."

These two 28mm Plaguebearers have been assembled from the plastic multi-part sprues which can be found within the “Games Workshop” Plaguebearers of Nurgle boxed set. Painted as daemonic minions for my slowly increasing Befouling Host of Nurgle, these plaguesword-wielding servants of the Great Unclean One will help increase their unit to thirteen suitably grotesque miniatures.

I initially gave the putrid creatures an undercoat of “Vallejo” Heavy Khaki and washed them both with “Citadel” Thrakka Green. The fly-infested bloaters were then dry-brushed with more “Vallejo” Heavy Khaki before I ‘picked out’ details such as their horns, open sores and troubled teeth with “Citadel” Abaddon Black.

"During times of pestilence and rampant contagion, Nurgle waxes strongest, to the dismay of all."

As each vile fiend suffers with Nurgle’s Rot various parts of their stomach-churning anatomy were coated with either “Vallejo” Heavy Red or Heavy Warmgrey, and subsequently washed with a combination of “Citadel” Thrakka Green, Agrax Earthshade and Carroburg Crimson. Lastly all the creatures' boils and pimples were dabbed with a spot of “Vallejo” Heavy Ochre and treated to a coat of “Citadel” Reikland Fleshshade.

With these latest “Age Of Sigmar” additions completed, and with an eye on my current "Nemesis The Warlock" project, I have finally glued together some fearsome Terminators using some plastic "Frostgrave" Cultist torsos and some resin pieces from "North Star Military Figures" Cultist Sci-Fi Accessory Pack. Somewhat disappointingly however, I have found that the 'new parts' are slightly bigger in size than those found upon the "Frostgrave" sprues; most notably their heads, which are actually quite significantly larger. As a result I've had to arm all three of the figures using resin pieces, as they'd otherwise look rather disproportionate.

Terminator WIPs - These Sci-Fi conversions have been dry-brushed to bring out the models' details

I plan to paint these fanatical soldiers, who loyally follow their Grand Master in his endless "war with all alien races in the galaxy", predominantly in the black and red colour scheme used on the cover illustration of Prog 230 of the British Sci-Fi comic book "2000 A.D." Along with some browns, this should then help provide the miniatures with the "high-concept science fiction with [Medieval] fantasy" look of Kevin O'Neill's Eighties artwork.

Rules-wise, I'll be fielding these gun-toting villains, along with Tomás de Torquemada, as a Purity Squad for "Mutants And Death Ray Guns". Written by Andrea Sfiligoi and published by "Ganesha Games", this rule-set, along with its supplement "Project Simian Ultra X", was recommended to me by Gordon over on his excellent blog "I Have Wrought My Simple Plan...", and seems particularly suitable for fielding "an organisation of humans dedicated to the affirmation of human supremacy."
