You gotta Blight for your right to party



I haven't done anything special to this Myphitic Blighthauler - I just think it's a great model. At once evoking a termite, a crustacean and a Bloat Drone, it's both ghoulish and comical. Perfect for Nurgle.


I think that the Blighthauler represents an important improvement to GW's product offering. There's no doubt that the last two years have seen a lot of great new ideas from GW. To balance this, there are lots of things which make me wince, largely around newer lore. But credit where it is due, they've done some great stuff, such as the Start Collecting, Battle in a Box and Easy to Build kits. The Blighthauler is one of the latter. It's a nice, hassle-free kit which can be assembled in less than fifteen minutes. And it's cheap, too - £11.25 from Darksphere or similar stockists, even with the GW premium only £15.


The accessibility of the kit is such that it helps new gamers get involved and gives us hoary old veterans something nice and simple to do between bigger projects.


There's also quite a lot of free space on the base - perfect for a bit of atmosphere building!
