After the Rotters for my Nurgle Blood Bowl team, it was time for some Pestigors, the scorers. Those available in the official box look good enough, but there's only two of them and it's the same sculpt - and I wanted four different ones. Thankfully, GW released a chaos team earlier, with four different beastman sculpts - so I got those and converted them to look the part. This basis let me achieve a similar look to the one from the video game - where they are bloated and sick, but still agile and fast. Just like the small guys, they have all leveled once and I had a lot of fun applying various skills, upgrades and mutations to them.
Here are they all together:
Here are they all together:
And the close-ups.
Here is the one with Sprint and one with Extra Hands skills. To show Sprint, I wanted to convey some sense of speed - and the most obvious way to do that with Nurgle was to just leave some random intestine trailing behind him, as he's risking running that one extra step. The second one has a plaguebearer hand grafted on his back - also an idea taken from the video game. Besides that, they both got some smaller conversions, like bloated bellies, lesions, corroded armor plates and other such typical Nurgle pleasantries.

And the second pair, one with +Strength and one with Two Heads. The strong one was easy and enjoyable - I just piled lots and lots of greenstuff on him, kinda like a fatsuit, to add more bulk and power to his rather slender build. Everything textured with grandfather's blessings of course. The second one follows the idea from the video game - the additional head hangs close to the first one, a mutated and malformed one, screaming in pain. The last picture shows it the best of all the possible angles - it should be much clearer once they are all painted.
Nuuudaaa!!! ;) Znów świetne konwersje, trzymasz poziom. :)
ReplyDeleteMoże po pomalowaniu będą trochę mniej nudni ;P Dzięki!
DeleteNie sądzę. Pewnie znowu jak zwykle swietnie Ci wyjdą. ;)
DeleteCan't wait to see them painted ! gratulacje !
ReplyDeleteMerci! I'm also itching to paint them, but I want to finish converting Bloaters first and then paint them all at once ;)
DeleteZa konwersje +3 do nurglości!
ReplyDeleteChciałem napisać "-1 do ruchu", ale o dziwo znurglizowani beastmeni wciaż mają tyle samo ruchu co normalni ;) Dzięki za komentarz!
DeleteThese are so nice, such good characters! The pose you've got for the sprint guy along with the trailing intestine is fantastic. The +1 str guy is great too and hints at the stag horns that those odd new sculpts have but in a much better way IMHO. Good dynamic poses all round, great stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm really invested into this Nurgle team, so I'm glad that it shows and is appreciated :) The horns there are actually branches from the Dryads kit, maybe that's why they work so surprisingly well. I would add antlers to other Pestigors here, but I used all of them on the earlier Blightkings...
