Description
Guy 2 of the Raptors of the Legions series, Mattur of the Death Guard.
I freaking hate Nurgle. Really. About the only thing I like about the guy and his followers is the cyclopean design - I wanted to make him a cyclops, but I thought that would be too obvious, and the Mark IV is always indicative of some status within a Legion in itself. That being said, the God of Disease is a very well though of character, what with his laughing, paternal nature. But damn, drawing viscera and open wounds sucks...
So I focused on the things I like most about the Death Guard - the censors and the rougher armour design. I love rivet-reinforced trims. Tried to be original with the jump packs for these guys, and noxious gas-propulsion seemed like as good an idea as any other. The fly wings, I think, make for a good contrast, their supposed fragility contrasting with the Death Guard's legendary resistance.

While I am a fan of Nurgle, I am in agreement with you. GamesWorkshop definitely overdid it with the open wounds and puss-filled bloat slathered over most Nurgle art and figures. Many diseases cause that, true, but others cause the opposite; atrophy, the withering of muscle and bone until the poor bastard is reduced to a sickening, dried-up husk. The Machinist is way creepier in my eyes than a bastardized Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Oh, and excellent artwork, too.
