Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Maggotkin of Nurgle - Festus The Leechlord

Bring the grotesque brilliance of Nurgle’s most infamous alchemist to the Mortal Realms with Festus the Leechlord. Riding atop his revolting daemonic mount, Gathoblyt, Festus strides into battle eager to test his latest concoctions on friend and foe alike. Equal parts mad scientist and blessed prophet, he embodies the cruel creativity and unyielding resilience of the Maggotkin of Nurgle.

This multipart plastic kit builds Festus the Leechlord, a mighty mounted Daemon Prince-style centerpiece for your Maggotkin of Nurgle armies in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Whether leading a Rotbringer-heavy force or anchoring a corruption-focused strategy, Festus brings both striking tabletop presence and unmistakable Nurgle flavor to your collection.

Miniatures are supplied unassembled and unpainted.

Painting Tips (Using Citadel Paints)

Festus is a dream project for painters who enjoy textures, corruption, and unsettling detail. Citadel paints help bring his diseased mastery to life:

• Flesh & Skin: Start with Death Guard Green, shade with Athonian Camoshade, and highlight with Ogryn Camo for unhealthy tones.
• Sores & Wounds: Use Bugman’s Glow shaded with Carroburg Crimson, with subtle touches of Druchii Violet for bruising.
• Armor & Metals: Leadbelcher washed with Agrax Earthshade creates worn steel, while Ryza Rust adds corroded character.
• Alchemy & Vials: Bright contrasts like Moot Green or Hexwraith Flame help poisonous brews stand out against muted flesh.
• Slime & Rot Effects: Finish with Nurgle’s Rot technical paint for dripping ooze and sickly fluids.

Adding Citadel paints alongside Festus ensures every boil, vial, and blade looks properly blessed by Grandfather Nurgle.

If you’re looking to add a characterful leader with horrifying presence and narrative depth to your Maggotkin army, Festus the Leechlord is a standout choice both on the tabletop and in your display case.
