Fresh from Nurgle’s garden—my Plaguebearers are ready to rot the battlefield! Oozing filth, gnawing limbs, and dripping with detail. Custom bases, gruesome colors, and plenty of maggots. Papa Nurgle approves. #Warhammer40k #Nurgle #MiniPainting

No reinforcements. No mercy. Just righteous fire and shadow ops. The warp is whispering — and we’re listening.

Meet Armillaria Ostoyae, ‘The Mother of Maggots’ – my Death Guard Knight Abominant, featuring a real scoby leather mushroom cap! Big thanks to MrClayRotten for the maggot sculpts. 🍄🦠⚙️

#Warhammer40k #DeathGuard #Kitbash #MiniaturePainting
A heavily converted Warhammer 40k Knight Abominant, customized for a Death Guard army. The model has a grotesque, fungal aesthetic with a large, dark brown scoby leather mushroom cap growing over its upper chassis. Tubes, cables, and organic tendrils protrude from its body, while its armor is painted in a weathered, pale bone color with dark metallics. The base features grimy, infested terrain with small pools of pus and scattered maggots. A close-up of the Knight Abominant from behind, showing the massive, fungal mushroom cap covering its back. Thick biomechanical tendrils extend downward, integrating into the base. The armor plates are covered in worn parchment-like banners inscribed with arcane symbols, and grime drips from the joints. A side view showcasing the custom weaponry, including a rusted, spike-covered cannon and a clawed gauntlet. The cables and organic growths seem to pulse with disease, emphasizing the Death Guard’s decayed, corrupted aesthetic. The mushroom cap appears slick with decay, reinforcing the organic horror theme. A detailed close-up of the Knight’s arm-mounted cannon, which features rusted metal plating, spikes, and a grimy, corroded barrel. The mechanical elements are fused with organic, fleshy tendrils, emphasizing the corrupted fusion of machine and plague. Let me know if you want any tweaks! 🚀

The Maggot - Foetid Bloat-drone features a converted flesh mower crafted from toothpicks and wall-mount screws. I must admit, I find 'The Maggot' oddly endearing and cute—perhaps there's something wrong with me!
A highly detailed Warhammer 40K Death Guard conversion featuring "The Maggot" - a Foetid Bloat-drone. The model showcases a grotesque, bloated organic form fused with mechanical elements, including spiked turbine engines, a rusted flesh mower, and a weathered, off-white armor shell adorned with Nurgle iconography. The flesh mower, constructed using toothpicks and wall-mount screws, drips with blood and gore. The dark background highlights the model’s eerie, corrupted aesthetic. A side-angle close-up of "The Maggot," displaying the intricate fusion of organic decay and machine corruption. The swollen, fleshy torso is wrapped in metal bands and tubing, with pustules and exposed muscle tissue adding to the grotesque texture. The spiked turbines frame the body, while the custom-built flesh mower extends forward, drenched in viscera. A front-facing perspective of "The Maggot," emphasizing the Nurgle iconography on its armor and the gory details of the flesh mower. The weathered, cracked plating is stained with grime and dried blood, and the central mechanical maw appears to drip with decay. The turbine engines, covered in rust and corrosion, radiate a menacing presence. A rear view of "The Maggot," showcasing the disturbing biomechanical fusion of flesh and metal. The bloated, stitched-together organic mass contrasts with the jagged metal turbines and industrial plating. The cables, tubing, and corrosion add to the sense of decay, reinforcing the Bloat-drone’s role as a relentless, pestilent war machine.
