From IannickM: Lorhal Kuvax, Nurgle Sorcerer (10 points)

A very small entry this week, but I've been trying to submit at least something every week, and to this point I've been successfull so let's keep this going!

I haven't painted a lot of Oldhammer this challenge, contrarily to the last few years, mostly because I've been working on my LeafGrave and Epic project, both requiring figures to play. My Chaos army has reached a good size (3000pts+) and so I feel a bit less urgency in painting figures. Which will surely change next year, when I start my second Oldhammer army...

Anyways, last saturday after a family dinner I felt like painting a single and so I settled on a nice Old School Citadel Nurgle sorcerer. I enjoy painting Nurgle figures since I like all things disgusting and horror and I especially like the hooded ones; I find they look super creepy. This one is no exception. This sculpt, released in 1989 for the Realm of Chaos line, was used, with a few modification, as the basis for two Nurgle Sorcerers; one with a staff and one with a sword. Those familiar with Citadel figures of the mid-80s know this was something often done in all their ranges; it allowed them to produce a lot of variety while keeping costs down, and apparently gamers loved variety! Stunning, I know.

You can see the two very similar Sorcerers; top right and middle of third row

The one I painted today is the sword version; I also have the staff one but him I keep for something special. So I present to you Lorhal Kuvax, Nurgle Sorcerer.

Since my Chaos undivided core force is black and poison green (a bright green), I've been trying to avoid green for my Nurgle contingent, and rather go with browns, beiges, yellow and even pinks. So for this one I went with a dirty beige, with pink details. I used just a tad of my poison green, to tie it with the rest of the force.

Of course, this being Oldhammer, a sorcerer needs a familiar! So I also painted a little freak to accompany him. One of the weirdest familiar model from the era, it's basically a gigantic mouth, but he does fit nicely stylewise with Papa Nurgle's children.

So that makes it 5 pts for the sorcerer, and I guess 3 pts for the Familiar? I'll let our Wednesday minion make the final call.

ByronM: Well, one last entry for Wednesday, thank you Iannick.  I really like these soft Nurgle colours that you used, very different than the normal darker dirtier colours normally used for them.  It works very well though and actually fits the old school nature of this figure.  Great work, and even though the familiar is small, I am counting it as a regular figure, after all the halflings were counted that way, so why not this little pustule.
