GMM Studios is back with the Hexfleet Virules project. This Nurgle army, collected, converted, and modeled over eight years, is getting an amazing display and paint scheme–come take a look at the first wave of painted models.

Hello BoLS readers!  The Hexfleet Virules army is finished!  A Nurgle army with over 8 years of collecting, modelling, and thought process behind it. You can find a link here to his facebook version.  This is a huge army, so today I will post a few overview shots, and then come in later for close ups and other fun pictures.

Working on these large projects you can really get to know a guy. Of course there is the conversation about scheming and ideas for the army, but in the busy time it often wanders to whatever else. Getting to know Mr Virules it turns out we shared a very similar childhood. Single children (well, for formative time at least for me), I lived very rural, he moved very often. We both entertained ourselves and found enjoyment and fun in playing with action figures and whatever we could find. Some of my best memories are using a chair as a Ghostbusters firehouse, getting lost in imagination not just because that is what was there but because I loved it. That’s what miniatures have always been for me. Adult toys and being a big kid. Except I get to make way cooler things than back then!

We had way too many “me too!” moments in our conversations, and considering that, our mutual love of Ghostbusters action figures, and the fitting large puffy monsters invading town, you have the inspired backdrop for this army. Lots of goofy 80s, 90s, New York and Ghostbusters references, if you can find them all. It seemed too fun and perfect.

“Do you have any hobbies?” “I collect spores, mold, and fungus.”

“I’m going to bring this up at the next tenant’s meeting! there’s not supposed to be any pets in the building!”

Thanks for following along so far in this series of articles.  I will be back for another with some up close images.  See you then!
