Reminds me very much of old Heavy Metal magazines from the 80s. I sort of like it while being revolted at the same time.

at last a demonic creature that is truely disturbing and original, there are far to many sub standard Khorne/Nurgle demons out there, this shows real imagination, beautiful sculpting and a good deal of bravery on his part.

I'm not a fan of KD miniatures, but I agree. I wouldn't buy it, though - it's too gross!

"The Wet Nurse First Run Collectors Edition is Sold out" -under 24hours.

A very special miniature. I can’t find a use for it but an extremely beautiful but strange sculpt.

I like it, it's not that gross. I echo the sentiment about it's originality in terms of Deamons. Very Urotsukidoji, and a bit Nursey in her cow costume from Blackadder to. ;)

With all the breasts, it has a lot in common with some ancient Greek representations of Artemis.  And if you go further back into ancient Mediterranean architecture, they were positively obsessed with statues and columns covered in boobs and willies (mind is drawing a blank on sources at the moment, sorry...).

So nice sculpt, nothing unduly unpleasant, but I've no real use for it.

Hmm, maybe the missus would like one as a mantlepiece ornament for Christmas?  lol

Maybe if you call it a "Salute to Motherhood"...

Darn, you had to make me think, didn't you? It could work as the Monad from the final chapters of "The Black Hole"... in its "Worm form"...

No, I will resist. Goddammit, Force of Arms, hurry up and get my Vietnam stuff cast so I get my mind off that beast.

I like the figure. Some time ago I was thinking that female demons would not like pregnancy so they need kind of third gender to bring little demons.

I wouldn't buy it but I think it's a great miniature.  Certainly something to pit against Shaggy, Scooby and the Gang!!

I am kinda surprised no one in this forum mentioned a possible use for this model as an aspect of Shub Niggurath or even possibly Yog Sothoth.

Its a true nightmare made into reality.

I am kind of ashamed of you all now.  :'(

 :o :o :o It's a great miniature, I really love that work, and the ladies... all a complete nightmare...

reminds me Clive Barker monsters... I think it's a good model for terror-pulp, and for cthulhu series too
