Showcase: Biologus Putrifier and Foul Blightspawn

The two latest additions to Jason’s never ending Death Guard legion are two elite characters ready to spread Nurgle’s blessing…

It’s been my mission to get at least one of every model from the Death Guard line for my force. The latest two to join the list are the Biologus Putrifier and Foul Blightspawn.

Foul Blightspawn

I actually have two Blightspawn kits but decided to start with one. The question was: what do I want to do with the backpack. For one, I want to hollow it out and stick a nurgling in resin and the other I wanted painted. I decided I’d try my hand at doing a glass window treatment and if I hated it, I could go over it with some metallics and rust. But to my surprise, it came out better than I could have imagined. I also treated the coils on the backpack similarly to the coils found on my Plague Drones to keep that connection with the army. In the end, this accidently turned into one of my fav models now with the force.

And here’s a 360 degree look at the kit

Biologus Putrifier

Tons of bottles and slime, the Putrifier was a treat to paint. I tried to do a mix of glass containers and rusted bottles to keep the variety more interesting. I took the same treatment from the Blightspawns backpack for the larger bottle in his right hand to really make the pair seem connected.

And of course, a 360 video

Paint Off VI – Squads

We’re keeping the Paint Off train rolling this year a month after our last round.

Big or small, let’s see what the crew painted up this time…

No slowing down in 2022 for the Brookhammer crew! Hot off the heals of our January Paint Off, we’re ready to get the next one started.

For our fifth round, we’re focusing on Machines of Weath. Vehicles, dreads, tanks, aircraft. If it’s a machine and it kills the enemy force, it’s fair game. Keep an eye on our Instagram account this month as we share updates and teasers leading up to the full reveal.

More specifically a Primaris Captain or Lieutenant and it can’t be a named character. For the month of January, a few of us got to work picking which chapter to focus on and what model to paint.

We’ll have the full mini reveal on our Instagram page this weekend, so tune in and let us know which one was your favorite! We’ll share the full reveal and the fan-favorite winner on the site next week.
