nurglez Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Right I often used a single prince as my lord in the last few chaos codex's, but before that I often ran a power armoured lord, with jump pack. When popping into my local GW I decided to pick up the warhammer plastic nurgle lord, as I really like the model. Putting him together I realized how much bigger he is over a normal marine, so I thought I would use him as a rather expensive nurgle lord with the black mace on a palaquin. weighing in at 208 points he is rather expensive (mark of nurgle, black mace, palaquin, twin linked bolter, melta bombs, sigil, gift) http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/utf-8BSU1BRzA2NTMuanBn-1.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/utf-8BSU1BRzA2NTUuanBn-1.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/utf-8BSU1BRzA2NTQuanBn.jpg He still needs a bit of green stuff work (although my green stuffing skills aren't too great). I was aiming to paint his skin as if it were armour, mutating and becoming a part of him over the many many years in the service of papa nurgle, granting him an extra 2 wounds. as he is, i feel he doesn't look that 40k, though I hope once he is painted he shall fit right in. I also might add in a shield for him to stand on, and some nurglings carrying it, to make him taller to represent the palaquin better, although apart from Epidemius I have no idea what base to put him on or how tall he should be...

Commander Krag Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Looks awesome! But I definitely agree it needs more 40k. Great job tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Any chance you will give him a bolter slung or holstered on him somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 He has one of the DV chosen back packs (nurgley type vents) and it is a bolter being reloaded. I considered a combi flamer/melta, but am keeping it as just a combi-bolter. Might stick a second bolter on him to represent this more accurately. I feel a lick of paint will help, as well as adding a few grenades, second bolter and maybe even a melta bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Ah, I see it now. Can't wait to see whatever you decide to do with the palanquin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Oh you bas.... Always liked that mini too. One day I'll make it over for a game again...one day (and hopefully not get completely tabled). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 I've also ordered a few parts for a second chaos lord in terminator armour, and I might pop down to GW and get some nurglings to see if I can make a mini palaquin (on a separate note, any idea just how big a palaquin of nurgle should be for a power armoured chaos lord?).

Emperors Immortals Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 About 3 pustules :wallbash: I always thought a carpet of 2 nurglings high would be sufficient - though for your lord id suggest 4 plague bearers bent double to carry the weight :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOBYSHAG Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 This is great. I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea of using the WHFB Lord.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 I am hardly the first person to use the WHFB lord in 40k :P I intend to pop down to GW tomorrow and purchase some nurglings, I'm currently thinking a single layer of nurglings with a rhino side hatch to stand on, I'll see how this looks (I've wanted some nurglings for awhile, so its all good). I'm glad that the lord is standing with both his feel flat, if one was mid step I don't think he'd look so good standing on something being carried :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurglez Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Quick update, bought some nurglings (and some plague bearers) and this is currently held together by blue tac, but gets the scale across. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/utf-8BSU1BRzA2NTYuanBn.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Looking good- is the platform plasticard? Nurgling surfing is the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Platform is a rhino side hatch :lol: Still going to take quite a bit of work to get the nurglings sorted out, but I'm happy with the size of him for now, you can imagine him jumping down and striding forwards into a challenge, while the nurglings follow :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Right, added a few more nurglings, mainly the ones at the back that I had to chop up to fit the platform on. I'd like to do more work on him. But if I wait I'll lose interest, so going to be undercoating him soon. Nurglings need a little bit of green stuff so they will wait :P http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c397/nurglez/utf-8BSU1BRzA2NjQuanBn.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
