So after quite a bit of a break from modelling and painting I've got myself back into things by concentrating on an aspect of my Chaos force I love more than all the rest, the oozing, sliming, dribbling, stomach churning, gut wrenching, air fouling, plague carrying, fun loving guys, the followers of Nurgle!
Since I'd reclaimed a whole bunch of old metal Plague Marines and updated them with modern arms, packs etc I decided it was time for a nice big fat Lord for them to follow into combat. Nothing shouted that out at me more than the gorgeous Fantasy Chaos Champion. Now while i do love his nice big axe it just wasn't going to work for my Lord, I wanted to field him using the one true nasty weapon a Nurgle Lord deserves and that's The Black Mace! So after a quick search and some robbing from friends bits boxes i came across exactly what i was after, the smoking mace from the end of the Skaven Hellpit abominations arm, Its big and the trailing smoke creates a nice cinematic effect as it sweeps around the Lord.
After that was done the rest was a simple and easy modification of the mini, Chaos Nurgle pad slapped on shoulder, Dark Vengeance Lord pack attached to back, spare bolt pistol on waist, half a guard flamer pack strapped to other side and some carefully dremelled holes and cable wire added to fill in the gaps around the pack! I left the base simple as there is already more than enough detail on the model itself.
now to break out the paints and get cracking!
