Chaos Lord of Nurgle

With less than a week before a 2000 point WAP tournament, I have finished this Lord of Nurgle to lead my Death Guard Warriors of Chaos.

The model uses parts of the Lord Felthius with a suitably Nurgle head swap. 

The weapon is a black orc axe with the orc symbols hacked off. As I will be using this bro as Valnir the Reaper, I added the chain to represent his flail.

The left arm is a mix of a Nurgle mutation and a length of spiky mutation from a tzeentch kit.

Painting used death guard green with lots of brown and skin washes. The boils are a yellow green with red base. Since I liked how the boils came out I used the same scheme for his “eye”.

I used a deep red on his cloak to differentiate him from the others in the army who tend to stick with leather and brown for their cloth.

As my death guard infantry are oversized tor their bases, I decided to put him on the column as the size of his terminator armour meant there was no way he was fitting on a 25mm base.

I am very happy with how he came out and as I have been unable to fit in any practice games I don’t know how we will go but at least he looks cool.

Pusgoyle Blightlords

Another unit for my Nurgle WAP army is finished - the mighty Pusgoyle Blightlords.

The minis all come from warhammer 40k death guard kits with additional ogre and orc bits.

For the Blightlords I did some head and weapon swaps to the bodies from the Lord Felthius and his Tainted Cohort set. The rot flies use the body of the blight hauler and the bloat drone “wings”.

I kept the exposed “flesh” the same pink and purple colours of the mutations as a contrast to the drab armour.


The Blightlords all use great weapons so one of them wields a double headed spikes club whilst the others were “great” enough to not need further conversion.


In game terms, the rot flies can fly rather slowly and I think this conversion fits in with a slow moving plague beast.



Painting involved lots of dirty washes and some oxide paint / detail. The boils are painted with yellow green from Vallejo over a red base. 

I will use them as a flanking force backing up my units of infantry as at WAP tourney on May 20.  The army will be led by Valnir the Reaper who will be joined by his little buddy Festus.
