Like a moth to flame his desire for the taboo is his undoing. Drawing on the imagery from Dante's Purgatorio I wanted to cleanse this model in wall of flames. This would not only allow me to include a heavy flamer in my squad but would give me an excellent opportunity to use burning head from the Empire Flagellant box. Like the penitents that greeted Dante at the seventh terrace of Purgatory this emissary of Nurgle will forever bath in the burning warmth of his new master. Forever in a state of decay his flesh is continually burnt beyond recognition. Barely clinging to the bones of his sinful body he now spreads his burning desire for lust on the battlefields of the forty first millennium.Within the rules of Special Operation Killzone you are restricted on your use of heavy weapons and template weapons. Not one to squander such a supple opportunity I took full advantage of the ruleset. What better way to represent lust then to double tap them with one devious model. While it may not be the best weapon available it adds both depth and penetration to my squads abilities. By including a flame template I can help level the battle field, to a horizontal position, when faced with an orgy of enemy models. Such targets included green skins and xenos bugs which are both vulnerable like a school girl to AP4 weapons of destruction. Basking in the filth of his dirty desires he spreads his flames like the the bone chilling touch of Nurgle or in some cases that of a viral infection caused by a sexually transmitted disease.


I have Slaanesh tattooed on my wrist, however initially wanted to get Nurgle tattooed...but I was afraid Karma would get me by giving me an STD or something :P
