Typhus the Traveller, Herald of Nurgle

I came across a miniature of Typhus and he looked like a real challenge to paint. Ordered him from Wayland Games and had to wait just a tad longer as he's GW Direct Order. I had always wanted to try and paint a bit of Nurgle, and wanted to do a test model. Probably should have used a normal Plague Marine to try out first haha....

I present to you, he who was once known as Calas Typhon, First Captain of the Death Guard and Commander of the ship Terminus Est....now known as....

Typhus, Host of the Destroyer Hive
I took the pic in the kitchen area, my other hand using the flashlight from my mobile for more light lol! It was again a rainy gloomy day over here. Not much light for the past 3 days...

I like the little guy sitting on his knee pad, its kinda cute. I have not done the base yet, but he's almost done :)


Back view of the Mouldy Man. I don't think he took a bath since the Horus Heresy.


I started to paint Manreaper, the power-scythe. Added some buboes on the blade. Also did some purplish wash and veining on the Destroyer Hive.

And last but not least, an action/heroic pose:

I am liking the ominous shadow in the background hehe!

Much to Read

I have read lots of books recently. And re-lived some really warm childhood memories. I read Michael Ende's Neverending Story and imagined what it was like to fly on a dragon. Watched Flight of the Dragons cartoon and that was really special too :)

Also finished Rynn's World recently. It was a great read. I'm inspired to do up a small Crimson Fists army. But i'm resisting the temptation...for now. Also journeyed to the old world via Garth Nix's Sabriel. And i just went from Colorado to Eredane in Mark Anthony's Beyond the Pale.

I was re-inspired for believing in the goodness in people by reading David Edding's The Belgariad. All in all an enjoyable month :)

And this is my 100th post! Woohoo!!

Have a great week ahead everyone! And good health to one and all!
