From Dallas: Great Unclean One in the Lair of the Great Beast (40 points)

Well if this doesn't qualify as a "great beast" I'm not sure what would... it's Forge World's absolutely magnificent Great Unclean One, Greater Daemon of Nurgle. It's a massive resin casting that I picked up at a swap meet/bring and buy thing locally, likely about five years ago.

The detail on the model is great, and by great I mean disgusting...

Unfortunately someone's gotten to the GUO's backbone, or maybe he's just cracked apart back there...

So many open sores... no way this dude is getting in a hotel swimming pool.

The right hand and sword with tongue wrap were a separate resin casting. It assembled very slickly.


Had to apply some gloss varnish to his guts.

It's a pretty large model, sure to be the centrepiece of my Nurgle Chaos Space Marines force, if we ever get to have a game again...!

So I'll count 20 points for the GUO and 20 for the room bonus. Last up is the Hall of Heroes, then I will be petitioning the Snowlord to assign my last task. Some sub-optimal planning on the Heroes model has caused a small delay but I think the wait will be worth it, just for cool factor... we'll see!

Stay safe everyone!

  1. Ewww! Fabulous work Dallas. I really like the effect you did on his sword. A wonderfully vile fellow to be sure.

  5. Feels like he’s going to need more than a disposable face mask before anyone would be happy to come within social distancing guidelines..... very disgusting job.

  6. Marvelous work. The pale green and deep red really help to give a suitably vile appearance.
