Don’t miss this incredible converted Death Guard ‘Rot Rider’ biker that raises the question, why don’t they have dedicated bikes?

This project comes from the hobby mind of Scotty Butts Miniatures, who sent these pictures to us along with the bits list; that way, you can convert up some of your own if you want! They made this while doing a giant Death Guard commission and figured the army really needed some dedicated bikes.

This is just an amazing mini with so much Nurgle flavor! He definitely has plenty of Papa’s blessings. Here’s what Scotty Butts Miniatures had to say about the commission and project:

I’ve been working on a 10k deathguard commission so I’ve got a lot of extra parts aswell as an outrider so I decided to take a break from deathguard to….make more deathguard so I made a rot rider!

When you get up close to the model, you really start to see all the details and green stuff work.

This head is also the perfect choice because look how happy he looks to be riding for glory!

Now, let’s check out the bits and unpainted version; that way, you could make your own.

Here’s the parts list:

So the base model is an outrider
All the spikes and the little guy on the base are from Chaos Lords in terminator
Everything on the rider are various plague marine bits including the tentacles and blades on the front even the arm holding the handle bar is actually the right hand of flail
And all the growth is just green stuff!

Well, now you can try to build up your own and ride down your enemies with the legions of plague. Make sure you don’t miss out on more of Scotty’s amazing work! Follow him on Instagram to see more.
