VERY nice! I don't recognise the champion model.
The scenery is excellent too.  8) 8) 8) 8)

Really nice. :) Very effective paintjobs.

Vanvlak: unless I miss my guess, it's a Copplestone 10mm half-orc character! With a bit of conversion too. Looks good!

Nail on the head!

Very nice force you have there  8) 8) 8)

Of course, nice being a subjective word when referring to Pappa Nurgle  ;D

Great work, and I dig the alternative basing (the 5-in-a-row bases really ruined Epic visuals for me)

Excellent! I love how grim it all is  :)

I could not agree more. I have mounted all my epic armies on the original 5 man square bases even though it has cost me some to find the extras I needed. They fit with the modern/SciFi squad organizational structure better. A line of infantry seemed foolish but hey the game was designed by Brits who used to fight in bright read uniforms with white webbing forming an X across their chest.  lol lol lol

Absolutely delightful! (Not sure if that's the word when we talk about Nurgle, but well, you know...). Wonderful army, clever use of minis, really nice results!

Thanks for kind words chaps!

The great thing about 6mm is how easy it is to get decent results (especially when it's grimy army like nurgle) most of the miniatures were just base coat > wash > dry brush.

Gorgeous army you have there!  :-*

I especially like all the 40k-scale Daemons that look really good as bigger beasties for the 6mm stuff. :)
