Two Disgusting Maggots Worm Their Way into Fenris Games
May 23, 2014 by dracs
We all love a the occasional gribbly monster and Fenris Games have just put out two minis for pre-order that should tickle our disgusting fancies; the Maggotspawn Bileworms.
Known individually as Stinky and Slimey, these two models are covered in pestilent boils, grasping tentacle tongues and rows of teeth. In other words, the perfect pets for your Nurgle warlords.
The sculpts are pretty basic, but with a superb level of detail that characterises their thoroughly disgusting nature. I would love to see how these models look when painted up. Maybe we should get Romain to show us some tips on painting diseased flesh.
Beast of Nurgle stand-in ?
Uncle & Aunt fester?
Man, where were all these figures back when my group used to play Werewolf: the Apocalypse? You’re always fighting vile, nasty, gooey, drippy, tentacle-ly beasties in that game, and I used to spend half my Storyteller prep time either trying to draw these things to give my players an idea of what they were facing or thumbing through a thesaurus for every possible synonym for “disgusting.”
If anyone could give these two a beauty treatment it would be Roman and I sure it would be a Zen experience to watch. I swear I can feel my heart rate drop as I listen him. Which is something I’m sure would come in handy when you are painting something designed to give you nightmares.
You have to picture this in Romain’s voice …
“Hello, boys and girls. Today I will show you a new technique … it’s actually a very good technique that gives great results … for oozing, diseased pustules.”
