Seriously, this guy’s old Warhammer Fantasy Bretonnian army was gorgeous.

I’m really excited to start my Maggotkin army, and what better way than to kitbash my General? (Primed WiP Sloven Knight for scale)

Played as a Harbinger of Decay, I wanted this model to represent the connection to my other army, my Skaven Clan Gnawpox. Sir Albrecht Pockhart leads a band of Sloven Knights in a jaunty gallop across the mortal realms, gathering ingredients for the Grandfather as if on a royal hunt. Using Skaven from Clan Gnawpox as their foxhounds, the Feculent knights provide samples of what they find to Plaguetriarch Blistrictus, the Lord of Gnawpox; who in turn brews wondrous creations of uninhibited disease.

In truth, both believe they are using the other for their ultimate patron god - while both Nurgle and the Great Horned Rat mutually benefit in wonderful accord.

Sound the fetid horn, the hunt shall commence!

I have two months of recovery ahead, so I’m excited to make a significant dent in my beloved Beastmen!

I’ll spare you most of the lore on these guys this time :)

Short version: Nurgle-corrupted Enforcer gang from the “Putrid Precinct”; a group of corrupted Palanite Subjugation officers who serve a greater demon of Nurgle named the “Wasting Warden”.

Also, sorry about the backdrop, but my lego plants and subsequent shadows make for a weirdly complimentary background color pallet.

Pictured: my own Nihonto - I collect Yamato-tradition blades from the Koto and Shinto periods.

For example, in Nioh 1, the "Bizen-den Uchigatana" is an Uchigatana/Katana from the "Bizen" smithing tradition originating in Okayama Prefecture.

In Nioh 2, the “Yamato Odachi” an example of reference to the Yamato smithing tradition (again, my personal favorite).

Lastly, in Nioh 3, the “Osafune Kanemitsu” is a more overt reference in this vein - as this is the name of a Smith (purported to be one of the 10 students of Masamune), and a very prominent Bizen smith. (This is also called out directly in this blade’s description, but that doesn’t always happen)

Next time you use your favorite weapon, consider doing a small amount of research to see if you can determine any references that it might share with real history! (Depending on your personal history, the “Rusty Hoe” may be applicable too)

Nurgle-corrupted Enforcer gang from the “Putrid Precinct”; a group of corrupted Palanite Subjugation officers who serve a greater demon of Nurgle named the “Wasting Warden”. Instead of shackles, the sickened subjugators use a fast-acting infection called “The Lockblight”, which hardens the fluid in the joints into a crystalline pus, subduing lawbreakers of the most minor infractions.

The detained are then brought back to the Precinct, left to rot in what the Underhivers refer to as “The Blighted Gaol”. They are locked away for life sentences regardless of the infraction, left to literally rot for eternity, their bones being subsumed into the infrastructure, and their intestines serving as the bindings for the next lawbreaker to arrive in the cell.

This was a marriage of a few different kits, but mostly the new Rotswords from AoS, and the Enforcer Subjugators box. :)

For fun, I’m also submitting him to the awesome WellwoodWargaming’s kitbashing competition.

I can’t wait to make a complete gang of these bulbous barristers!

He is known within the circles of outlander traders and bounty men as “The Spinesinger”, for the soft chitinous rattle of his armor in the dust storms of the Ash Wastes.

This is the second of my small conversion project, combining Ash Wastes Nomads with bits from the Warcry Warband “Tarantulos Brood”. I really want to channel the side of the Nomads that focuses heavily on illustrating the bond between Nomads and the Macro-insects of Necromunda.

With “Web Pistol” and “Long Blade”.

Inspired by the Kyt’nag, the Clan Urh’nag Spirit of Chitin, this is the first kitbash of a full roster using parts from various Nomad kits and the Warcry Warband “Tarantulos Brood”. I hope you enjoy!

Clan Kha’tragi, the “Dune Shepherds”, are the primary supplier of Anthromites and Helamites to the major Ash Waste Nomad Clans, as well as chitinous weapons made from their herds of macro-insects. They also rear the mighty Urh’nag War Scarab, trekking across great distances to deliver the massive war-beast to deserving Clans.

According to the seller, the blade had been passed down for some time in the same family, before it was finally sold when the family did not find a need for it any longer. I suspect it is likely not going to be a candidate for polishing, as there are several openings in the steel, and it is very likely too tired at this point. That said, I still really enjoy this blade, and I am hoping it can be attributed to a koto-era Yamato-school smith, given the lovely suguha hamon.
