Greater Daemon of Nurgle

Whilst browsing one of the many Warhammer groups on Facebook I came across a (rather poor) image of the late-90s Greater Daemon of Nurgle, which I painted in around ‘97.

This was one of my favourite pieces during my tenure at GW.

At the time is was considered a large, bold and dynamic miniature that pushed the boundaries in terms of scale and scope compared to the original Great Unclean Ones (who could have imagined the levels CAD and plastics would eventually reach a couple of decades later!)

The inspiration for the colour scheme was Wayne England’s art, which he said was based on a rotting apple.
