Wanted to make a more chaosy themed imperial guard army and after much thought, I decided to make it a nurgle themed army since all of the mutations and such look fun to model. I decided to use the grenadier doctrine so I can use stromtroopers as troops, who will be represented by horribly bloated/mutated/mold covered guardsmen.

Anyways, just made a test model. I had lots of fun making it, more fun I think than with any other model so far...

pics really don't do the model just IMHO...

Still very WIP.. comments and suggestions welcome.

**HaLLuCiNaTiOn**

Looks pretty cool to me. But you WILL get tired of GSing 50+ guardsmen unless these won't be as prevalent in your list.

Love to see more!

**captain.gordino**

You think what he's doing will get old? I'm using the carapace armour doctrine...

Nice job though, dude.

**RGJ798**

That looks awesome, great idea will be really good for green stuff practise aswell.

**Squig_herder**

i love papa nurgle and i love the guardsman here, need more pics and maybe a painted model, needy arnt i? lol ^^

**BloodDeathAssault**

that looks alright, maybe add a symbol or to on him, and a few chaos accesories, and he looks like a mutated zombie in new armour lol. but otherwise good job

**Malika2**

Great job! I hope you won't go mad after doing 50 or so models, or are you going to do a lot of variations of the Nurglesque mutations?

**MinMax**

I like it. It's a clever idea for differentiating Stormtroopers from normal Guardsmen.

Also - guys. He's not doing this with all of his Guardsmen. Only the ones that are going to represent Grenadiers. That's not gonna be 50.

i use normal guard with zombie heads for my nurgle guard

**lost**

yah, I realize it may get tiring after awhile... but I'm not going to be using huge amounts of stormtroopers. Its mainly going to be a mechanised army for the most part.... going to have lots of vehicles, not just an infantry swarm.

thanks for the postive remarks, going to try and get another one made tonight if I have enough time after work.

**SonsOfLoki**

make 'em all like that and i will blackmail you until you post painted pics

**Zaku350**

Thats no beard!

Its gross, and disgusting, so....nurgle.

**Balance**

I like it, but I think the armor needs to be tweaked a tiny bit to look more decayed/fused to the body/infected/ whatever. As is it just looks like he got splattered with the stuff.

**lost**

good call, I'll try and make it look more decayed... I'm just worried about overdoing all the mold and greenstuff and not keeping the guardsmen look. Need to find the right balence...

**lost**

guardsman number 2....with no arms.. yet...

together with the other guy. added some dinks and chips in the armor for the first guy..if you can tell, might be hard from the pic.

really satisfied with the look of this guy, got a little more adventureous expanding from just mold to a bloated belly and faceplate.
probally going to move this to a blog... dunno

anyways, comments and criticism welcome!

**Joyous_Oblivion**

Nice job though, dude.

You do realize Cadian models are wearing carapace armour right?

Now if you adding carapace armour to the other guard armies, that would be a challenge for sure.

**Imperial**

Ah the classic image of an infected guardsman, classic. I hope to see more of your work soon

**lost**

thanks for the kind words!

**typhus**

do mooooaaaarrrr

**DaPlaugedOrk**

SO FRIGGIN COOL!!!!!!
*eyes cadians in room with a evil glint in eye*

**megamarines**

Hmmm....I like these, a whole lot. Looks like I'm borrowing your idea for my Nurgle project.

**JoeyFox**

I welcome you to the fold, brother!

Always good to see more nurgle guardsmen...

and yes, be vigilant, GS-ing guardsmen is worth it when you see the looks on the opponents faces... as for what you got going, EXCELLENT work. Yours are, obviously, Nurgle Devotees. Great work. (Mine are just undead nurglely zombie guardsmen, mostly)

(for those who wanna know where MY nurgle IG are, well, College = priority, sorry, no updates)

As for your doctrine choices, that works well, very well.

I use Veterans and Grenadiers to represent some mercenaries hired on to give the zombie army an edge, as for the zombies, standard guard w/ independant commissars. A few forge-world Vrakian renegades thrown in for Platoon HQ and you have a well formed army...

Be thankful you are doing a medium army... I have around 100 fully mutated zombie IG to do, then another 100 generic renegades to do with minor modifications themselves.

**Elnicko5**

Excellent models. Keep them coming

**DaPlaugedOrk**

were do you get the heads?

**DaPlaugedOrk**

zombie set?

**odinsgrandson**

I love the wires coming out of the guardsman's gut. That's just so very Nurgley.

Now, all you have to do is figure out how to make Nurglings into Ratling Snipers.

Oh, and I do hope you get them painted up soon. These are very nice.

reminds me of the flood off of halo...........

wow.... love that GS work... much better than mine! I have the same problem as you do with making them, don't have enough time. Finishing my senior year in high school then off to college...yay.
