Finally got around to painting some of the actual Host models from this range.
Single-piece castings on 30mm Reaper bases. Very simple to clean up and a joy to paint.
There appear to be at least six variants, as well as an ogre-sized Kickstarter exclusive one.
These are easily the best Nurgle Plaguebearer proxies I've ever seen, and perfectly capture the just plain gross flavor of Grandpapa's followers while also being something new and characterful.
Also good for horror gaming and less Warp-inspired scifi nastiness, and I could see them handily winning a "biological hazard beauty contest" against Mantic's poor Plague figures.
Pretty big too, as my poor Vor trooper here can attest.
All in all I like them a lot, and I'm looking forward to painting more of them, probably in groups of seven.
