Can you believe I had never watched "My Neighbour Totoro" my entire life?

I corrected this mistake yesterday and I was delighted! Such a wonderful movie.

So I got inspired to draw a Totoro-Nurgling and his soot sprite rotfly-friend.

With all the AI-bros stealing Miyazaki-san's art, I wanted to give real kudos to him by adapting his love for the forces of nature, growth and the cycle of life into this little pic.

Malignant Plaguecaster.

I made quite a few modifications to this one; in addition to moving one arm and removing the puff of smoke, I added tentacles, fixed some of the casting issues, and made the staff more gnarly (with reference to diseased wood).

Then painted him in lighter tones, with pale green armour and bright orange rust.

Work in progress: a ForgeWorld Great Unclean One I'm currently trying to finish, no airbrush involved. What a ride

Plague Marines.

This squad, from the Dark Imperium box set, was modified to make them more unique and clean up some of the casting limitations.

Some minor re-posing, carving holes deeper and more ragged, etc. plus added tentacles.

And the grass on the bases can be seen dying as they step on it.

" Was resupplied with Vallejo mud texture and applied liberally. Half a jar gone immediately
" Took a rookie #Nurgle #BloodBowl team out against my local prodigy with his khemri. #Nuffle hated me from turn 1. He managed to score 2-1 in turn 18 after a hard fought game. Nurgle are so shit in this edition
* Built my final #TrenchCrusade #Terrain piece

Work in progress: a Nurgle Mounted Lord without Demonic Steed is just a regular Nurgle Joe. We can't have that, so here's the stinky steed

Today's scribble: A happy Nurgling enjoying his ice cream cone!
Probably most horrible ice cream flavours imagineable.

Foetid Bloat Drone, tripod conversion.

I wanted to create a unique version of the drone model.
As Nurgle is all about 3's and I really like tripods, it was a natural thing to do.

I wasn't happy with the photos I originally took, so have just taken all new photos to see if there is an improvement.

Steps in evacuating my hobby desk residents: brushed primer on the #Mordheim medieval marginalia models; a broken spear tip escaped while trying to reattach it with putty, but I replaced it; slapped some primer on the #BloodBowl #nurgle cheerleader; unfortunately I bought new vehicle for #gorkamorka bcs I'm stupid

Lord of Contagion.

No major changes to the miniature, but I did add some extra (epoxy putty) Nurglings to the base: It didn't make sense to me that he would be stepping on them if they weren't crowded around him.

The fifth Plague Marine of the squad.

Added tentacles and placed the sword to be poking through his cloak as if that's the reason for the hole.

Poxwalkers #7 (Vanilla) and #17 (Converted).

In addition to the weapon and arm swaps, I also gave this one an evil purple tentacle, just because.

I found some nice, Nurglite breakfast.
