Subject: Breath of Horrid Repose- A Nurgle Army (1-31-12)
|
 |
Enigmatic Sorcerer of Chaos

Well, time to start up this new army and get a thread rolling. As I did with my Slaanesh army, lets start off with some fluff.
Its more of a very short story rather than background, but we'll get into that later.
Mortiferous stood above the fallen general, allowing the mire of his internal fluids to drip from his poleaxe. The general squirmed and squealed under the expulsion of fresh air and cleanliness, but the degenerate Chaos Lord paid no attention. He instead stared around, watching as the town slowly became a quagmire of hideous appeal. Hundreds of barbarians and cumbersome warriors laid waste to its inhabitants, almost taking offence to the cleanliness of their surroundings.
"I love the smell of decadence," said Mortiferous, now looking down at the broken human. His voice was deep and strained as he spoke. "It gives you a sense of nostalgia, doesn't it?"
"N-n-nostalgia?" the general asked fearfully. Mortiferous cocked his head, somewhat surprised and a little confused by the question.
"Hmm? Oh. Nothing... merely reminiscing" he grumbled.
"W-what do you want from us?"
"I would want nothing more than to invade your privacy, rape and pillage with excess, then strip you of your flesh and cover our armor with your flayed skin." The human's face turned to tread, the thoughts of such atrocities reeling through his mind. Mortiferous smiled. "A joke!" he laughed. "We are no servants of Dark Prince! We merely want to fill you with the true meaning of life! We merely want to... introduce you... to our grandfather!"
With one giant sweep of his arm he picked up the human, bringing him face to face hulking Chaos Lord. A choking miasma seeped from the lips of his heavily breathing mouth. In almost an instant the human's body convulsed, and every part of his form twitched furiously as boils formed and his skin turned a hue of pale green from the decay. Mortiferous dropped him to the ground, allowing his body to die out and then accept the disease while he carried his own ogre-sized body away to join the fray of pestilence.
"And He will be most pleased with your addition... to our family."
Mr. Mortiferous there will be the army's general, and as stated... he is quite large! The plan is to use Bragg the Gutsman for him, with some slight conversions and maybe a tiny bit of reposing just so I can get him on a 25mm base.
Here is what will be the BSB for the army. I couldn't not use this model, but since I'm only using one exalted and Bragg will be the Lord, I just had to improvise! So I cut into his upper back and jammed a rod in there. I figure it seems quite Nurgle-like that way! No name for him as of yet however.
I also wanted to come up with something different for the Sorcerer, and since my Slaanesh army had a song reference with it's lord, Vashnir, The Wayward Son (Carry On My Wayward Son- Kansas), I decided to continue on with that by having this guy named "The Reaper" (Don't Fear The Reaper- Blue Oyster Cult). Who knows, maybe I'll throw a cowbell on this guy too.
And lastly here's the Warrior's w/ Great Weapons.

This is a bandwagon I can easily get on!
I really like the work so far and your BSB looks awesome, I would think maybe some blood/puss pouring out of where the banner is attached?
Also why do you use the great weapons on all your warriors JW?

Sweet, love the banner hole, gross!
Reckon it could be cool to get some of those AoW warriors of apocalypse, especially if the nurgle-based guys look like the concept art.

I probably will add more to the pole insert as I had originally planned to. For having such a thing shoved down your back I imagine it might be a bit messy after all.
All my armies are rather heavily themed. Since this is all Nurgle and I imagine them to be slow but powerful so everyone is going to get great weapons, marauders included!
Likewise, all my Slaanesh Warriors have halberds, all my Khorne Warriors get AHW, and all my Tzeentch Warriors get Shields! I'm just a bit of a nut in that sense.

Hopefully lots of awesome stuff! I have some ideas for washrines using either the Jabberscythe or the Stonehorn kits, so those should be interesting.

I had posted this in my Slaanesh army's blog, but since it will actually be for this army (great weapons and all!) I might as well post it here. Simple conversion of just cutting off flail ends and ax heads and mashing them together! Easy enough and gets the job done. Edit: I picked up Bragg and got him on a 25mm base rather easily! Didn't go too crazy on the base since he's already... well... bigger than normal! I was also relieved to see that the gutplate was separate so I went into greenstuffing entrails right away! I'm not the best at greenstuff, but I am quite pleased with the results. I'll post pictures at some point tomorrow.

As said, I picked up Bragg and got most of the GS done, so now I just need to sculpt the rim of his stomach where its been torn open. I'm not the best at sculpting, so it's not perfect and I might work on the guts a bit more, but I think once painted it will look better (maybe worse?). So what do you think of "Mortiferous" so far? *Also... he fit quite nicely on the 25mm and in a unit of Warriors he doesn't look out of place at all.

Ooh, you should model some horrid, sludge-like stuff coming out of that thing on his stomach. It would be like a Zit the size of someone's stomach, and that's how he defends himself. Instead of armour, he has a crapload of pustous growths that encase him in filth.
That aside, I really like the direction of this army. It looks like I'kll have to subscribe.

I like it! The use of Bragg is great (love the model, sad about the rules.  ) and the use of Great Weapons (while honestly, suicidal XD) is a great thematic idea! Cool.
As for the guts on Bragg, I think actual intestines would be a good idea. Just roll the greenstuff into little tubes and shove 'em in there. Ta da! That, combined with a convincing paintjob, would be great.
Can't wait to see more.

Thanks everyone, Intestines was actually what I was aiming for on Bragg, but as said, I am not great at GS so they came out a bit more crude than you'd normally imagine them. Hopefully with a good paint job they will pop out a bit more and seem more intestine like. I also have a Tamurkhan on Toad Dragon that will belong to this army, so perhaps I will get that started at some point. Currently working on my Slaanesh stuff though, so Nurgle will have to wait. I might actually just throw all of my Chaos into one thread. With 5 different armies I seem to work on sporadically it would probably be a better idea.

Done and done! Everything will now be posted in what was my Slaanesh army blog and has now been renamed
"Tempest of Sovereign Coercion" which is the name I had planned for the Grand Army of all my Chaos in one.

Sorry for any confusion (Probably should have thought this through)

That model is excellent! And if you want a genuine intestine look w/o modeling it and you know someone that plays WFB VC Undead, ask if they can spare a Zombie Guts bit, I've used those all over my Plague Marines and Plague Zombies- they work well every time.
