Dr. Ilentia Chyrurpus - Plague Surgeon

Dr. Ilentia Chyrurpus is a plague surgeon and first lieutenant for Plague Lord Phalloides Amanita. They embraced Nurgle's blessing aboard the doomed Heart and were the first to take steps to conceal its sinister destiny. They survived the rage of the Chaos Gods as they assisted in the destruction of Caliban, the homeworld of the most powerful and secretive loyalist Space Marine chapter, The Dark Angels.

Both Space Marines served as apothecaries within the Inner Circle of the First Company of the Dark Angels Chapter. Abiding Luther's command to subvert and sabotage Dark Angels' gene-seed banks, they extracted vast amounts of genetic material and tech during the Horus Heresy. Luther entrusted them as they specialized in locating, recovering, and securing progenoid glands. As Luther didn't trust the actions of the Lion's direction. These Fallen apothecaries saw the ignorance of Dark Angels' self-imposed limits and service to Primarch Lion El'Jonson. They knew the genetic power of the 1st company shouldn't be restrained to the nearsighted practice of the Lion.

During the final battle between the Dark Angels Primarch Lion El'Jonson and the Arch-betrayer Luther that triggered the Dark God's wrath and engulfed Caliban in a Warp Storm of legendary proportions. Plague Lord Phalloides Amanita and his Lt. Surgeon were thought to have been ripped from the broken surface of their once homeworld and cast throughout space and time. However, their dark acts of corrupting the pure gene pool pleased the God of Plagues to such an extent that Nurgle masked their presence and granted them the tools to escape the warp storm with The Heart and members of the disloyal Dusk Raiders.

I love this model and I wanted it to feel truly dark and grim. I can practically hear the wet slap of the living flesh cloak. Yes, the 'tube-dude' is a cap from a razor blade. I really enjoy the challenge of creating art from found material, especially trash.
