Following the fun of the 2013 ToEG (
The Nurgley Appendages) I'm carrying on from where I left off.
With a solid base of well over 3k of Nurgle Death Guard my plans for this year are as follows:
1. Take any existing base-painted models from the 2013 project and fully finish the paint jobs:
Plague Reapers x 2
Plaguehounds x 2.1 (one just needs a few finishing details)
Contagion Engines x 4
Defilers x 6
2. Rebase the older Death Guard and Beast of Nurgle stands - less because they are on square bases, more because the green doesn't match the mud of the newer models:
To match these:
3. Build a 2k EpicUK AMTL list based around the Plaguehound conversions and Plaguelord conversion, possibly with a Reaver-equivalent in there to take it over 2k.
4. Bulk up the Death Guard force by increasing some of the formation add-ons and increasing the options I can field.
Based on what I've been proxying or want to use but haven't tried out yet, this is likely to involve:
- 'Stretching' the Death Guard stands a bit when rebasing, to get three Retinues rather than the current two plus some random bits. I will need to do a third Lord from scratch.
- A seventh Defiler is needed, possibly by Jan 18th! More will be done as inspiration strikes.
- Death Guard Terminator formation.
- A few Vindicator conversions.
- Enough Rhinos to take at least one DG Retinue.
- More Contagion Engines, possibly simple conversions from some mk 1 Bombards.
- At least one Plague Tower, either scratch-built or based on an existing Capital Imperialis model.
- Adding a spacecraft or some aircraft, preferably aircraft that would do double duty in the Nurgle AMTL list.
- Paint the Great Unclean One.
- Make/convert a Daemon Prince.
The first deadline is the Winter Warmer in just under two weeks. In theory I've got everything but a seventh Defiler.
Roll on the Dribbly Gribblies!
