It's a Legion of Everblight Raek from Privateer Press' Hordes, the more-fantasy companion to Warmachine.

100% correct! I had to ebay this one since it seems to be out of production. Shame, because it makes a great underhive-tyranidish beastie!
The Hordes beasties are great conversion fodder for a variety of systems, but they've become vanishingly rare ever since PP revamped the entire franchise and apparently put Hordes not on the back burner but into the storage closet.
Some of the stuff can even be used as is, I used one of the circle Ourbouros wolves an an Ogroid Myrmidon for Warcry.
I thought they sold it to Steamforged games? Or was that just the Warmachine part? Not that it's recognisable as the same IP now... (I still can't believe how badly it crashed and burned).
Steamforged is slowly reviving it bit by bit, and while I'm not happy with both my factions being either gone (Menoth) or changed beyond recognition by questionable lore choices (Retribution of Scyrah) that's on the old PP leadership, Steamforged is forging (haha) ahead with what appears to be a revamp of the old rules, and Warmahordes was, in it's prime, one of the best rulesets for tabletop, so I'm keeping one eye on that whole thing.
Buuut, I think we're derailing the thread a bit here.

The gang looks great and I'm looking forward to what you come up with for the Cult of Decay.
I’d forgotten we were waiting for results.
When’s the next one start?!?

Well done everyone. Another great turnout and some well deserved winners.
Thank you to everyone who voted and to all who took part in Comp 60. The standard was high and the variety of interpretations made it a strong field. I really appreciate the support and, congratulations to the other podiums and all Yaks for their creativity and execution. It is a privilege to take 1st place among such work - I thought @Casus conversion work was fantastic and half expected it to take the victory just on the strength of the conversion.
This has been one of the most entered and most voted comps for some time. Looking forward to seeing what everyone produces next.

Both the comps and FYSC has had a strong showing as of late! It's very inspirational, even if I don't have as much time as I'd like.
Congrats all - well deserved win, @Fold , with a stunning final piece! Love the old school lore throwback too, @Narflung ! So many good entries this comp 
(I'm just thrilled to finally get some hobby time again and get an entry in - appreciate all the kind words of support!)
Hoping to be a little more active on the forums again this year, as my two little Juves are getting a bit more independent - for all of the good and bad that comes with that!

Well, I did very poorly at containing spread... But now I have a fully painted Cult of Nurgle!!!!
Comp Entry (#2 for me!):
Poxcaller and Plague Zombies
WIP Shots (of the whole cult)
A Group shot of the lot that I painted up over the last ~3 weeks is in the bottom corner - a mix of Gellerpox, Poxwalkers, OLD Forgeworld Renegades Scupts (including the amazing Renegade Apostate Preacher that started me on this whole pestilent path) , some Dark Vengeance Cultists for gangers, and even an AoS figure thrown in for good measure as the Cult Witch - EVERY model is a Necromunda Model!
These guys give a whole new meaning to "Hive scum"
(I've never actually painted Nurgle-ish stuff before, these guys were a blast to work on - I have another ~5 Poxwalkers primed, along with the rest of the Gellerpox (Grubs, Mutants, Hulks, etc). I've even ordered a box of the new Pestigors (which are FANTASTIC sculpts) and am going to make some sort of champion to further bolster this rancid mob).
But before that... I want to put together some rules for the Cult of Decay - the regular Helot cults are just too dull!

Did you ever make these rules? A burger playing buddy of mine would be very interested
Perhaps we can accelerate the theme nomination and voting cycle to try and catch up a bit?
I’ve already picked my theme nomination.
