Plaguebearers!

 Plaguebearers... the lesser daemons of Nurgle. 

I picked these up less than a week ago, thinking I'd need them for the What We Do in the Realm of Shadows campaign (but, as it turns out, they probably won't be needed until the following week...). 

Plaguebearers. 

I don't have a LOT of Nurgle Daemons and mortal minions. I do have The Wurmspat and a Lord of Plagues... but I'll probably also be making use of Finnegan's Putrid Blight Kings - from his Warhammer Quest set... 

All the Nurgle stuff I have at the moment! Not a lot for the Age of Sigmar tabletop battle game... but enough for some fun encounters with the servants of the Plague God! 

I have to admit, I have been thinking about picking up the Maggotkin of Nurgle Spearhead army... which, I know... is RIDICULOUS when I have over a half-dozen to paint!I'd wait until MORE are painted, BUT... They seem to be cycling through the Spearheads - the original ones are being discontinued and new ones are being introduced (not that the old ones aren't playable - they're just no longer being stocked because GW can't stock multiple army sets for EACH faction, that would get silly!) and I kind of like the make-up of the current one... AND there's a store anniversary event coming up and... I kind of want to get that neoprene spearhead mat... and one more spearhead would get me almost halfway there!

At one point I would never have considered picking these - or any Nurgle stuff up - I just thought they were gross and wondered why anyone ever would... and then I picked up and painted The Wurmspat... and... they were a lot of fun. They're probably my favourite Warhammer Underworlds warband - in terms of the miniatures (and backstory). And having listened to a few audiobooks that featured the Maggotkin of Nurgle... I kind of get it... 

I haven't forgotten about the Stormcast Eternals - still hope to have them done this week - at least these ones for the Spearhead army. They are SO CLOSE!! 

Turns out I got ANOTHER weeks reprieve from needing Radukar the Beast done as Amanda decided to go out to Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan with Morgan this evening! I was a little bummed out when she told me she'd bought tickets for a Wednesday evening... but am now glad because it meant I could just stay focused on the things I was focused on and not have to FORCE myself to stop painting plaguebearers or stormcast and paint something that... I know I NEED done... for a game I DO WANT TO PLAY... but just have not a lot of interest in painting right this moment...
