So I want to pick up some Oblits for use in my Nurgle army. The issue is, the official models are, well, hideous.

What suggests you guys for making non-hideous ones?

**SlaveToDorkness**

I converted three using Typhus models with converted limbs using various spawn, weapons, and Tyranids bits.

At some point in the past the Typhus model was cheaper than a single oblit blister so that's the way I went.

**JNAProductions**

Preferably working in plastic.

That being said, that's not a horrible idea.

I just made some out of Taratros minis --- not Nurgle ones though.

Got pics?

Scale creep and "bigger is better" make me wonder why I haven't seen any one make some nurgle obliterators out of these yet:

If someone has done it, please send pics!

Chaos-ified Centurions, perhaps?

Here is a pic of the Obliterators --- they don't match my army and out of sheer boredom I put skull heads in there...for no real reason. I'm selling them off so I can make some proper ones -- -just need to source better heads and some additional weapon bits.

Since nobody has posted them yet, i feel obligated to mention Spellcrow's Obliberated Knights. They're not exactly my taste, but i see how they could fit the bill. Spellcrow also offers seperated obliberater-ish arms, if you're looking at saving some time while converting.

I was thinking of using the FW MECHANICUM MYRMIDON DESTRUCTORS (https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Mechanicum-Myrmidon-Destructors):

**Elbows**

Those would fit the bill nicely I think.

**Gundor2**

I have used Ogryns before. Head and gun swaps are easy to do.

Could always Google Oblit conversions too. Lots of ideas there.

**JNAProductions**

Crazy idea-what if I made Tauric Oblits? As in, Centaur Oblits. Quadrupedal mutant gunmen.

So...Zoats essentially?

I suppose. I came into the hobby after they stopped existing, but a google search says yes.

Okay-here's my current thoughts.

Take Orruk Boarboys board as the base. Add on chaos terminator torsos, arms, heads, etc. Greenstuff it together so it looks smooth.

Sound good?
