I won a cheap Lord of Plagues model on ebay and decided he needed a makeover. I love this model so I didn't want to change things too much and the guy who had built him did a real good job of gluing him together. I couldn't remove him from his square base without damaging his feet so I constructed him this slightly raised base. I used some roots I had collected to give it some texture by pressing them into the Green Stuff as it dried. His sword is from an ogre, I wanted his plague sword to be so strong it even affected him slightly. His hand is larger then the other and I hope to bring this out in the painting. I liked the idea that he was decaying so much he had to hold his guts in so his other hand is grasping various entrails. Bells instead of a skull at his belt so it's more fitting with The Herald. I used a Sylvaneth Treelord face as a mask for a bit of coherence with my Plaguebearers. I know it's rough at this point but I'm looking forward to painting him.
A miniature conversion blog of a complete amateur. Here I will post my ideas and document my progression into an above average sculptor, converter, scratch builder and painter. I have loads of ideas but making those a reality is a little more tricky. I collect Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader era Space Orks, play Age of Sigmar and Malifaux.
