LVIII: Giant Plaguespawn of Nurgle




"Many horrors too foul to name spill from the Daemon worlds of the Eye of Terror. They are the abominations of Chaos, creatures taken by the dark gods and corrupted for the god's entertainment and possessed by the spirits of ravenous daemons."


Progress Report:
You might remember, way back at the end of March/ beginning of April I picked-up a toy to proxy as a ForgeWorld GIANT SPINED CHAOS BEAST (as featured in Imperial Armour 7: the Siege of Vraks part 3) for apocalypse games. I started the project, and then almost immediately got distracted and shelved him.


The other day I saw some blurry pics from Games Day UK 2010, featuring Plague Toads, and I got all fired-up for Nurgle again. Out came the GS, and the 'Beast is back on the workbench. In the book (IA 7), they have 2 "named" monstrous creatures; Gorefeaster (Khorne), and Jibberjaw (Nurgle). Originally I was just planning to make a proxy for a generic Giant Spined Chaos Beast, and then give it the mark of Nurgle... but now that I'm more familiar with the text, I'm just going to proxy him as Jibberjaw (it's cheaper points-wise, and more "fluffy"). I'm thinking of naming my version "Slobberjaw".

Still lots to do, but this is a fun project.

XLVIII: How to Nurglise your Dragon




In my last post, Part 47: GIANT SPINED CHAOS BEAST, I stated my intentions. Today I'm sharing a little progress. I'm a total newb when it comes to GS, so I'm taking my time with this. I just do a little bit of work on him here and there, just before bed. It's a really fun project for me, though.

I haven't actually laid eyes on the ForgeWorld version of this creature, but if anyone reading has seen it can you tell me if I'm in the right ballpark for scale? Thanks!

XVII: GIANT SPINED CHAOS BEAST

The Purchase:


The Inspiration:


This is my latest kit-bash. 5 bucks vs. $74 (+shipping & handling). I'll get him all Nurgled-up & painted eventually, should be fun. I actually went to 2 shops looking for a Chaos Defiler today, but both places were sold out.
