It's the herald of Nurgle that comes with the Forgeworld Daemon prince Mamon. Imagine a large slug with arms (one mechanical) and a shroud of flayed flesh covering it's head.

Cheers Arm.chair' - always good to have support from a fellow chaos player.

**alabamaheretic**

tbh monkey it looks like something that came out of a pimple...and it has a face. so very nurgley i approve.

Battled today - 2500 pts Daemons vs Wolves and Crimson Fists. Sadly I lost heavily. I got shot up pretty bad before I could get my Daemons into close combat. Good game though. Trouble is I lost a unit of plague bearers and Uraka in deep strike tragedies. I think I need to rethink my strategy - perhaps risk deep striking all the heavy stuff first to try and open up all the Rhinos. When I did get into close combat I kicked ass - it just didn't happen much - not enough shooty stuff either - well, those are my excuses, here are a few pics:

**Gitsplitta**

Ah... but the painted bits are very nice. That means a win no matter the score!

**monkeyh**

Cheers Gits'. We're thinking about doing some kind of seige next time, maybe another chance to un-leash some super heavies! As for the Daemons - I need to have a rethink and get in some more fire power. Maybe I'll enlist some Tzeentch for this.

**combat engineer**

Some nice work.

**monkeyh**

Cheers combat engineer. I'm back on the painting trail now. Primed loads of stuff and am about to start a couple of blight drones.

**WingWong**

Hey there ... Loving the army - amazing posing!

Just a quick question: Which swords did you use for the samurai berserkers? I cannot find them on Perry miniatures

Thanks

**monkeyh**

Hi WingWong, check out this link:

But I have to say if I made some more I'd use these:

from Kromlech which look a bit more like a power weapon.

**WingWong**

Awesome. Thanks mate. I have my next army

**alabamaheretic**

monkey any new goodies in the works or like wise?

**monkeyh**

Not posted much as I've been really busy with work and stuff, but I've nearly finished the first of two blight drones, painting all done just waiting for the base to dry before I finish painting that - hopefully pics tomorrow. The second of the two is also well underway.

Question - I was in Bucharest in Romania on business at the start of the week - I think it's one of the first cities I've ever been to where I didn't find a GW store! (except maybe Nairobi in Kenya) - do they have Warhammer in Romania?

**monkeyh**

...Nurgle blight drone - slight conversion as I didn't want it to look exactly like my other one:

**alabamaheretic**

awesome looking blight drones how did you get that mottled armor look on them?

**Miss Dee**

I think they come like that

**monkeyh**

Vallejo paints (as usual) - dead flesh base - washed with brown ink, washed with MIG light and dark rust, highlighted with more dead flesh - easy - that why I like painting Nurgle!

**Gitsplitta**

I just love those drones... nice job on the converting & painting monkeyh!

**monkeyh**

Cheers Gits'!

**Capitansolstice**

Can you take a scale picture? I was going to buy one and cant seem to figure out how giant it is

**monkeyh**

You want a picture with a mini or a rule next to it?

**tme0003**

Awesome conversion on the eyes there mate. Looks great!

**Capitansolstice**

a Mini would be great!

**monkeyh**

OK. So here we have the final blight drone, the finished unit and a pic with other minis for an idea of scale especially for Captain s' - you planning on scratch building some of these? It's something I'd like to do instead of buying more (three units each of three blight drones would be great!) In the siege of Vraks book 3 there are some nice alternative ideas for blight drones (you may find this page on Google images). But now I'm working on my Khorne terminator lord with lightning claws.

**Capitansolstice**

Oh my goodness! It's huge~
I was planning on buying at least one squadron of FW ones, and converting them. I'll check vraks for scratch ideas, but we'll see

That's exactly what my wife tells me!

**Gitsplitta**

I am so jealous right now... those Nurgle units look bloody fantastic together! *applause*

**tipios**

I join in with Gits applause!

**alabamaheretic**

Wow that thing is fracking big! great job *beers all around*
