I really like this model,and kind of like the paint job.

Sweet Omnissiah, this is an abomination.

I see at least 3 rumour engine pictures solved.

leave the eyestalks off, leave the holes they go into hollow and weeping pus, leave the 'taster' stalks but make them pointed towards the nurgling. Paint the entire thing in far more somber colors, high shine gloss on the body of the snail. Yeah, that would work. And the rider, and his pose, is awesome.

**CURNOW**

And add a straw hat to the rider

YES!

haha I was just thinking about that and just came back here to post it!

**CthuluIsSpy**

I kind of like the snail. It reminds me of something from berserk. Paint it to be less kid friendly looking and you can probably have something really gnarly looking. Does it only belong to the special character though?

OH MY GOD YES, THANKS! I have been all day "Seriously this desing for a slug/snail reminds me of something"

Well now I'm crossing my fingers for the artist who made the chaos book look like a Berserk Manga to do the same for a Blight War book.

Also, 100×yes to the strawhat idea. A man-at-arms helmet would be perfect kitbash material there.

Let the long ride of Horticulous Slimux begin!

Yeah, the first thing I thought of when I saw it was the Count. I think it has something do with the feet and the mouth.
GW can actually learn a lot from berserk in terms of demon design. There's some really wicked stuff there.

That would just become a worse version of Kingdom Death though.

**CthuluIsSpy**

So? They are different systems, and it wouldn't hurt 40k to get a bit grotesque again. Though maybe not kingdom death grotesque.

**Bottle**

Gotta be a House Goliath shotgun.

**Nostromodamus**

That unpainted rivet is bothering me.

**Verviedi**

You know what bothers me? The lack of standarization in these images' names. They should all be "RumourEngine-date.jpg", not all these wildly varied names.

That was how people extracted the images of all the Space Marine chapters a while ago.

Correct. Not just the Marine Chapters though, but many other things.

**EnTyme**

I'm sure that's the barrel of a shotgun, but as someone who knows a little (very little) about firearms, if someone ever hands you a shotgun with a barrel that's been riveted together, politely hand it back and slowly walk away. That thing is shrapnel waiting to happen.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Looks Orky to me.

Hmmm...

**Binabik15**

I love that snail thing. The Nurgling looks like he enjoys himself a liiiiiittle bit too much. Kinky stuff.

The whole model is weird, though, not sure if it'd fit in an army. It's more like a diorama.

Yeah, and I think that's why I don't like it. I don't mind occasional humor, but this looks like a bizarre Alice in Wonderland model they shoe-horned into AoS...it doesn't even fit the AoS aesthetic or match with any of the models. I hope it's not an indication of the future of Nurgle daemons.

**Desubot**

I think stompa's idea of removing the eye stocks would greatly help it fit in the more 40k setting.

also adding a few bits and bobs from 40 would help it out greatly.

would be funny to see a diorama of it plowing the land behind it and sowing diseased skulls like seeds

**TalonZahn**

So is the Lion Cloak snap from the new female Stormcast in the Blightwar box?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I assume so.

As for the Slurgle...I think that the face has reddish areas, but the eye stalks don't make them looked 'tacked on', like a low rent if a using conversion. Give it a more 'blended, (for want of a proper term, not referring to the painting technique itself) palette there should help. And not painting the eyes looking at the Nurgling.

**matphat**

Those barrels are going to turn out to be a new Necromunda model and I can assure you that I'm right because all I WANT it to be is Orks, and that alone will insure it is absolutely NOT Orks.

Now I, for one, will probably buy 3 of them and attempt to convert at least two of them. Its such a great model and really fits the Nurgle aesthetic, although in a different way to the Glottkin and maggoth lords.

Really? I think what it is most desperately in need of is fewer bits and bobs. It's got too much going on, and most isn't even vaguely related to each other or the model..

what are you on about?...it's a characterful plaguebearer-farmer dude, with his kit of travel utensils and whatnot, riding his big characterful daemon-snail-plough...it's all completely related to each other

Yup I agree, Berserk has some very disturbing demon designs. I love them.

I really have disliked the DG and Mortarian releases. They just didn't do it for me. The paint jobs didn't help either but this bugger....I really like this bugger and I think I just might pick him up to paint and play with.
