Typhoid Mary's Boy Child



Nice list again! Finally!

I'm running lower and lower on speed and energy, and repeated Naughty list hits are taking their toll. Good to rest up with a quick and fast one, a repaint of an old lead classic.

Here's Typhus, who's been lurking in my collection since his original release something like twelve years ago. Not a bad job, really, but as you can see from the zoomed in shot above, he'd suffered from some badly frosted varnish, his base wasn't finished and he just looked a bit tatty overall. Not in the deliberate way he's supposed to, I mean, in the sense that he's been knocking about in my Old Lead box for a while.

He's coughing and sick
He's sharpened his scythe
He's going to find out who's naughty and nice

While it's probably immoral to refresh the paint on a Nurgle model, I decided to do it anyway. I redid the green, sharpened up the white, redid the scythe blade and handle and finished off the base with a little flock. Nothing big, nothing that took more than an hour or so, but here he is, back to face the new edition, where he looks rather small compared to his newer mini. Ah well, time takes its toll.


He's brought some gifts for you, pa rumpapum pum.

And then we're right back to the Naughty List again afterwards. Sigh.
