Age of Sigmar: Putrid Blightkings

My first of three units of Blightkings are finished:

The Blightkings kit is superb with the number of variations you can build each model as hehe, i believe i wont have to field a duplicate in my force!

Age of Sigmar: Fecula / Nurgle Sorcerer

Here is my Sorcerer, im using Fecula from the Wurmspat warband from Underworlds, its a far superior model than the old grubby santa finescast haha:

The other two members of the warband will be mixed in with Blight Kings down the line.

Age of Sigmar: Lord of Blights

First of my mortal heroes is the Lord of Blights:

Hes a great little support hero, granting a ranged attack to nearby Blight King units and his funky command ability makes a friendly nurgle unit harder to hit!

Age of Sigmar: Even moar Plaguebearers!

The least annoying horde unit to build and paint is now complete:

Now for a couple of characters i think; Lord of Blights and a Sorcerer!

Age of Sigmar: Moar Plaguebearers

Next ten Plaguebearers are done:

On with the next ten!

Age of Sigmar: Plaguebearers

Here's the start of my first unit, a big 30 block of Plaguebearers:

Painted in a similar style to the Great Unclean One, i could probably have done these in one big blob but decided on three batches for sanity haha.

The new Munificent Wanderers subfaction looks good with these, the GUO will make enemy 6s to hit spit back mortal wounds, the new locus of corruption worsening the rend of enemy attacks by -1 and plaguebearer natural toughness hopefully means they wont die too quickly!

Age of Sigmar: Grandfather Nurgle

New year, New Army! That's the tagline isn't it hehe.

I've signed up for the AoS Essex GT again this year held at Wayland Games in July so i was looking at my options to prepare for it... I've sold my Flesheaters and Stormbros, and didn't think my Pigsplitterz would be up to task so it was time for a new force:

Nurgle! I knew i would need a force that didn't rely on its spells given that Nagash and Tzeentch will be everywhere, i needed some tough troops that could do the hurt even on 3+ save Petrifex Bonereapers... and most importantly it had to have some cool models that would be interesting and quick to paint.

Nurgle ticks all these boxes, and they recently had some new subfactions come out in the wrath of the everchosen book to bring them up to the same level as the other chaos books.

I already had the FW Great Unclean One in a box from a long ago moved on project, probably some 40k army about 10 years ago haha, so it was an obvious starting point for my legions and takes up nearly 1/5th of my points already.
