I've recently been working away on some 40k stuff to try and gain some energy for the upcoming 10th edition release box, its a game I once had alot of love for so I was hoping to find the spark of that love and creativity again. However new AOS ideas are always freely flowing and one that I had to seize upon is the concept of a giant nurgle slug on a Slaans throne.
With this in mind the Knights of Unity began to form in my mind, a force of nurgle not bulbous and swollen like blight kings and lords but built around the Rotmire Creed aesthetic. Bound together by a swarm of flies emitted by their benevolent "Mother", these flies lay their larvae beneath the skin of a host and allow them to take root in the hosts brain. It is here the larvae grow to maturity as the feed, the swarm lending a hive mind of sorts to the hosts during their adolescence that draws hosts to common causes.
Through the swarm unity can be achieved, true peace.
Below is the first of the concept mock ups for the models, a Knight of Unity.
