Games Workshop / Warhammer 40000 / Chaos
Most of these models were bought in order to be painted as pieces for a display shelf in my office. No intention of trying to start to play the games again, not after 20+ years!
| Completed Image | Build Images | Instructions | Name | In-Universe Affiliation | Quantity | Notes | Converted? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |      | Beast of Nurgle | Chaos (Nurgle) | 1 | Bought new July 2024 as a display piece. This is a dual-role model that can be used in both Warhammer 40K as well as Warhammer (fantasy). | ||
 |        | Blightlord Terminators | Chaos (Nurgle) | 5 | Bought new June 2024 as a display piece. This is the full plastic Plague Marine Terminator box set. | Yes, all arms and weapons converted to magnetic fitment. All swappable between bodies. All combi-weapons are swappable, so it is possible to give the plasma/flamer/melta part to any other combi-weapon (the combi-weapon itself is magnetised in two parts, as well as the arm-to-body connection). | |
      | Chaos Hive Bringer | Chaos (Nurgle) | 1 | A third party model (Wargames Exclusive) bought from Etsy in 2024. Multi-part resin kit, presumably as a proxy for the 'Typhus' character. | |||
   | Chaos Lord / Chaos Sorcerer | Chaos (Nurgle) | 1 | A third party model (Tainted Windmill) bought from Etsy in 2024. A multi-part resin kit with alternative hands, heads, weapons etc. Can be built and posed as various Chaos Lord or Chaos Sorcerer options. | |||

       |                     | Plague Marines | Chaos (Nurgle) | 8 | Bought new June 2024 as a display piece. This is the full plastic Plague Marine box set (6 marines + 1 champion), plus an extra single champion model. | Yes, mix of resin shoulderpads from GreenStuffWorld. | |
     | Void Infestation Terrain Plague Father With Wings | Chaos (Nurgle) | 1 | A third party model (Wargames Exclusive) bought from Etsy in 2024. Multi-part resin kit. Partly a Nurgle daemon, partly based on the 'Mortarion' primarch character. |

Other things
Resin bases were used for all the Plague Marine (32mm) and Terminator models (40mm) from above. These are the 'Pestilence' set, sourced from an Ebay seller, but licensed from https://www.myminifactory.com/users/zabavkaworkshop#.
The two larger (60mm) bases for the Bloat Drone and Beast of Nurgle are the 'Plague City' set from MTG Terrain on Ebay, but licensed from https://www.myminifactory.com/users/Admiral%20Apocalypse#/. These needed quite a bit of cleaup to remove most of the support marks from the 3d printing process. In hindsight these would have printed better if I had done them myself.
Finished 40mm + 60mm bases with added static grass:
