Long, long ago deep in the mists of time, in that period of shoulder pads and Texan soap operas called the eighties, I first encountered Chaos. I was instantly drawn to the decadent, erotic charms of Slaanesh and to that god I gladly sold my soul. However chaos is chaos, it broils and churns and we mere mortals are swept hither and thither and tide tossed upon many an alien shore. Bitterly too those chaos gods fight to win followers one from another and many a soul is torn asunder in the ensuing tug-of-war. Wise is the mortal who pins not his arms to the coat tails of any great patron but, humbly and devoutly, follows them all.
Ok so after years of collecting only Slaanesh I have broadened my Daemonic horizons. GW are busy producing many, many mouth-watering models at the moment but, of the recent batch, the Plaguebearers of Nurgle most captured my imagination. I suppose being and orc at heart these models would be bound to appeal to me. There is almost a snotling/orc relationship between the plaguebearers and nurglings.
As can be said of most of the new plastic models they went together very well and were wonderfully detailed. I don’t know if it is just me but I seem to be having a bit of an issue with the plastic glue; ie. It will not stick??? Super glue seems to work though; fingers crossed (damn now they are stuck together).
So here is the first unit of my reimagined Daemon Hoard I have a feeling it might be a little Nurgle heavy, with plenty of Daemonetts too (mmmmmm).
