Plague Drone Knights of Nurgle

Was never a fan of the plague bearers riding the plague drones but I thought I'd be able to put them to good use with the leftover parts from the Blightkings. Anyone starting to see a theme..?

Standard bearer that I guess could double as a sorcerer as well. Pretty happy with this one.

Rather happy with this guy. A cookie to the one that knows the backrest part is from.

The third one and the units musician with the bell at the back of the backrest. Not really happy with the rider though...
He'll need another spear type weapon instead to make him more dynamic. Don't like the positioning of the wings either. Did not at all get the movement effect I was aiming for. Rebuild eminent in other words.

And so the final Blight knights to complete the unit(s).

WIP of the sorcerer and champions. Some green stuffing and detailing left to do:

Completed sorcerer that can double as a standard bearer if needed: 

Built from the Maggoth lord upper body, head from the old chaos sorcerer on steed, a tail from a mutie raider steed, a book from the Inquisitor range and assorted blightkings parts. And of course green stuff and some plastcard for the straps holding the book.

And the champion model for one of the 2x 6 units:

Basically blightkings parts + a hammer from the Avatars of War Corruptors + a beastman shield.

The full unit of 12 or 2x 6. Next is to get a movement tray made for them.

I need to learn how to take better photos. Can't get enough light for the iPhone to do an OK job so need to figure out how to make a simple light box of some kind...

Blight knights of Nurgle II

Found a work in progress photo of the Blight knights that I had forgotten taking.

Shows some of the mock-up:ing and the gs work used to fit the blightking upper bodies on the regular chaos knight legs.

Then some more knights:

   

Hard to capture in the photos but I really like how dynamic some of them came out.

And of course my favorite so far! The musician of the unit with his trusty lite gribbly mate;

The bell mace was a pretty easy conversion, taking a chaos knight arm and combining it with the bell hand from the blight drone plague bearer musician. 

So 8 finished and 4 more to go! Plan is to have two units of 6.

Blight knights of Nurgle

A long long time ago me with some help from Animerik/gspirate started working on a "true" hordes of chaos army combining warriors, beastmen and daemons from all the different chaos gods lead by a chaos undivided Lord. We had some great man-dates doing nothing but building, converting and painting models! Those were the days...

Then I ended up working far too much, having two kids and Animerik got a real job. And the nurgle part of the army really spun out of proportion. Too many ideas... So here we are still prodding along with the Nurgle army. Ever. So. Slowly. Years. Later.

But there is light in the end of the Nurgle tunnel! Here comes the last addition built in modern time.

There was just too many parts left over from the Blightkings kit to not try to use them. So I made green stuff cast of their backs using Instamold.

Together with chaos knights steeds and random parts from all manner of kits thrown in, I built my first Blight knights of Nurgle.

More of these to come!
