Nurgle, often known as the Grandfather, is always generous with his gifts. So generous, in fact, that the horrible villains of Warhammer Quest: Darkwater outnumber the heroes five times over, and the Jade Abbey and its surrounds are suffused with rot and contagion. You’ll be able to pre-order the box tomorrow – if it sells out, we’ll restock, don’t worry.
We sent a selection of painters from the wider Warhammer community some miniatures to paint, and, as documented in our previous article, they sent back loads of awesome work. They were somehow more generous than munificent old Nurgle, and even by being really selective with what we picked to share, we had to leave some out. Apologies to anyone that didn’t get included.
With that dazzling smile, it’s no surprise that Gelgus Pust won over the hearts and minds of so many people. Who could deny such benevolent mirth? Not our painters, it seems. Two galleries here, the first containing Angelo Di Chello, Vincenzo Celeste, Simon Sikora, and Sam Lenz.
The second lot, because one gallery cannot contain Pust’s bloated might, features Paul Kidd of Siege Studios, Kenny Wildman, and Mats Olsson of the Critical Focus Channel.
Pust’s prime lackey, Mulgoth the Cleaver – who gives him a big hand now and then – also proved extremely popular, thanks to his classic and foreboding silhouette. Stuart Mack of Miniature Realms Studio, Rob Merker, Patrick Brampton, and Mikey from Hellstorm Wargaming make the first chop.
Denis Rubbert of DICED, Chris Frosin, and Adrian Phillips grab our attention with the second swing.
Drawn from the corrupted earth itself, the Cankerborn are three-headed Nurgle daemons with vile weapons and even viler auras of rot. Rob Caldicott of Battle Bunnies, Alison Kersley, Matt Crowther, Marc Büsing, Joshua Hill, and Tiffany Brampton braved the stench to paint theirs.
Jessica Smart, Marc Büsing, Vincent Knotley, Chris Lewis, and Bradley Fulton of The Hobby Collab embraced the bloated forms of the Blight Templars, giving us some fantastic renditions of these classic Nurgle-pledged knights.
With a veritable army of minions and bosses in the box, our intrepid community painters also presented us with a rotten banquet of glorious paint jobs. Matt Crowther herded a few Pestigors, Rob Wolters of Battle Bunnies gave us a Nurgle-pleasing triple threat of Foulhoof and guardian Pestigors, and Jessica Smart painted a pack of putrid, but oddly cute, Mire Kelpies.
And with that, we’ve run through the fever of Nurgle worshippers. You can pre-order Warhammer Quest: Darkwater on Saturday, and paint up your own contagious cadre of Nurgle worshippers.
