Description
I've been developing a Nurgle Chaos Space Marine army for quite some time now (intended for Apocalypse), and I'm currently at 8,000 pts of miniatures. I wanted very much of that army, if not the entire army, to be either heavily converted or completely scratch-built. So well, this "mini" is entirely sculpted by me, except for the two spikes on his powerpack, wich originally comes from Galrauch, first of the Chaos Dragons.I've been working quite alot on him, I think all in all this is about four or five days of solid work. He had been lying on my desk, staring at me with only one leg and one arm for several months, so, out of pity and shame, I took a weekend to finish him once and for all.
Guess he'll be riding along with 20 Plague Marines in my to-be-built Plaguetower. Oh, and yes, he is quite large for a daemon prince, don't you think? I kept looking at a reference picture of GWs daemon prince for scaling purposes, but all of a sudden, after finishing the breastplate and head, something went wrong (warp influences, perhaps?) and I built a giant of a daemon prince.
Morgan Mortensson, the Incompetent Commander, is in this picture for you to see the scale of the Daemon.
Hope you like it!

Not to mention I really think titans can have a problem with them...^^

I've never really fought a titan with them... but if the titan uses even strength 6 splash weapons, if it's the large splash template, it'd be enough to kill the entire squad of Scarabs in one shot, considering they kinda lack in the toughness and armor areas.

Well, a titan shooting at your scarabs sure is better than a titan shooting at your warriors, right? What does a scarab swarm cost anyway? Upgraded?

hmmm... I don't recall off of the top of my head due to sitting in college right now, but I think un-upgraded they run 12 points a base, and upgraded it's 16.

Beautiful work, Sir!
Quite a promising centerpiece for an army.

Thank you! A daemon prince three times the height of a space marine marching beside two squads of evil, nasty Plaguemarines is bound to strike fear into the heart of any advesary! ^^ Thank you for the comment!

"Incompetent Commander Mortensson" is acctually a specialist in running away...when he doesn't get killed outright. Its a friend's commander, and all the others are always trying to kill him in various funny ways!

I would like to say my Orkz would think twice before charging him...but we are talking abouts Orkz Thinking once is just enough for them !

Since most orks have a strength of 3, I suppose I would charge them if I got the chance (so they won't get their furious charge and thus cannot hurt him ^^) "Uhh, tinkin' 'urt mah 'ead. Smash instead!"
