Maggotkin of Nurgle (pt.3) - sculpting more details on Plaguebearers & the Great Unclean One

Just a few more details sculpted on the Plaguebearers this week. Still hiding the joints of different parts, adding pustules and maggots, doing eyelids on one unit and some work on the banners to make them unique. I think they are ready to be painted now! 

The Great Unclean One is also gaining weight. The 50/50 mixture of Das modelling clay and Milliput worked out just perfect! Very soft to work on, not sticky. Doesn't shrink and crack upon drying like pure Das, yet still some nice textural surprises might appear on it's surface. Easy to drill and cut. I'll very much recommend you try out this mixture (or something similar). 

I wanted the GUO to have some cool and big "weapon". Not sword, so was thinking about some different blade options such as a sickle or a scythe. But since this guy is more of a sower than reaper, I decided upon a huge gardening fork! The face is also turning out to be quite funny. Like the old ill geezer just told something they think was a great gardening joke, like "let all flowers bloom" and is now boisterously tittering about it. Gonna fill the front of the base with tiny maggots and worms bursting out from the underbelly and the bell. Still not sure whether to add horns?
