this is something ive been working on about 6 weeks now, still got a ways to go but you can see how its going to look more or less.

its bigger than the GW plastic giant but not by a great deal so its still usable on the table which is what im after.

its made from a 3:1 mix of super sculpey and sculpey firm, its differant shades because of the amount of times certain parts have been baked, it makes the "green" look messy but i cant use GS or epoxy putties to save my life.

anyway this will be produced in Resin hopefully jan/feb time and i estimate about £40 RRP but it depends on the final cost of the castings.

as always any thoughts, comments, or critism is greatly appreciated as is any ideas you have for stuff you want to see on him.

It's horrendous. I love it!

Its disgusting...its horrific...its so nurgle!

Amazing sculpting man! (The Nurgle Symbol, as popped boils on his back is a good, disgusting touch)

lord that things hideous. nice job anyways, quite alot of detail.

Terribly gruesome, my only suggestion; spilling bowels, intestines dropping out of the abdomen and trailing down. Always liked that effect to add a bit more gruesome death to the model.

All I can say is WOW!!! Awesome sculpting!

I can see where the idea is coming from, but isnt anybody ever getting tired of the whole bloated-popped-and-guts-spilling-about-look?
I know I am ....

i like it on some things but it does seem everything nurgley has some guts poping out. i wanted this guy to be more tumourous and deformed than splitting open and pouring guts everywhere.

That looks awesome, so what are you going to do for a weapon, maybe hauling a long whip-like thing, or a take on a nugle axe.

proberly a big cleaver or mace and maybe a big mutated claw in the other hand. havent decided yet need to do some concepts.

I'd say a mutated club/mace for a hand would be sweet.

and your detail is completely amazing. How tall is this model?

Meat Cleaver FTW

I'm waiting for someone to do a fantastic paint job on this as it will bring out so much more detail. A truly fantastic sculpt!

Sufficiently nugrly nastiness!

it wont get painted for months id imagine, not until its released after xmas.

size wise its bigger than the GW giant, not by alot but bigger.

It definitely needs a definitive weapon.

Maybe a long club, and at the end a cage dropping down on a chain. And maybe a cultist, or a marine is inside holding on for his dear life.

Or some sort of whip, maybe out of flesh, organs or corpses (Eww)

You could also go for some Nurgle axe, maybe have a tentacle growing from his wrist area wrapping around the massive weapon aswell for some disgusting touch.

Stunning... please PM me the details when it's available for sale!

I'm not into warhammer but that is the second most discusting thing I have ever seen in my intire life.
The most disgusting thing I have seen was a frie (chips, french fries) that looked like a snail.
(It was rotting)

put me down for a pre-order please.
also can you give some tips on using sculpy - i have some super sculpy nad cant get that level of detailing - the clay seems too crumbly.
i also have a gas oven and have had trouble gauging the cooking times.
cheers bork!

I'm giving the best compliment that I can at the moment:

I regret that I ate lunch before reading this thread... /gurgle


Awesome work! I would like to see a bit more definition in the facial features... everything looks kinda jumbled and it's hard to tell what's what. That would change with paint of course, but it's my only criticism. Keep it up!

This is what I want for my Fantasy Chaos army. I really want a Nurgly looking hideous abomination of a giant. I want one! PM me details when its for sale.

As for a weapon? Dead rotting cow on end of some chain? Maybe a gnarled looking tree thats nurgly.

Awsome work.

dragging a hugggeeee knife/sword behind him like red pyramid from silent would be awesome i would buy at least 2

I agree that does sound cool. dragging it on the floor....yeh huge choppy choppy would be ace

yup im on the big ass meat cleaver wagon as well. holy crap that thing is terrifying. altho i DO like that idea of a slave in the cage, for a mace thing. that would look awesome

it is covered in scrotum.....i like it!!!

amazing comments guys, really gives me confidence it's gonna do well. #

what kind of super sculpey is it? just regular super sculpey, kind of pink in colour? the only thing i can think of thats making it crumbly is your not kneading it properly before you use it. knead it til its warm and smooth and you have no problems at all. if its still crumbly after that then you've proberly got a faulty batch and might consider contacting the store you got it from.

cooking times in a gas oven should be gas mark 2-3 for 5-10 mins depending on thickness. its best to keep checking though throughout the baking process because it can burn and crack if cooked too long. dont let the models "springyness" fool you into it being still soft clay either, once its cooled it goes rock hard.


everyone whos interested in one of the giant minis i'll be posting details when its close to release date so stay tuned, or better yet PM me and i'll contact you come the time.

many thanks, bork

I know I am ....

Although the models looks hideous, digusting, and very nurgly.
It seems a lot of people are doing nurgle thing so I have to agree with flach

But great job, and I vote for either Meat Cleaver, or Intestent whip

UGH that looks good

its a great sculpt, only thing i would be wary of is if your going to sell it remove the three circle nurgle symbol as it could potentially get you into a lot of trouble the head is awsome by the way!

Disgusting and fantastic. I can already see the finished thing in my minds eye and its awesome.
