WH40K with Nurgle continues. I wanted to have more finished conversions before I start painting, so I did some other characters too, besides the Lord of Contagion two posts ago. Today comes the Malignant Plaguecaster, the simple psyker from the previous starter set.
I was mostly fine with the model, except for the puff of noxious gas that he was blowing from his hand - I hate painting such special effects. I decided to replace it with a writing mass of tendrils, which is both properly substantial and also a connection to the flesh horror theme of this army. There is a toothy maw between them - it was a perfect use for the little squig that I spared from Mollog's kit.

I like what you've done here. I've got this model unpainted too, and I'm not a big fan of the special effects either. It looks much better like this.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks! We'll see if I'll be able to paint it properly and do it justice ;)
DeleteA to rola dla bat-squiga!
