How to use this model

Use cases, fit and pre-production checks

This Nurgle Lord of Plagues model is optimized for 3D printing, with a 'True' printable setting. It is recommended to use supports, especially for the tongue and cauldron details, to ensure a clean print. The scale is suitable for standard tabletop gaming miniatures, such as 28mm or 32mm, making it an ideal centerpiece for Warhammer or other fantasy wargames. For games and AR/VR, the model is provided in multiple formats (glb, obj, stl, fbx) and is not rigged or animated, making it suitable for static display or as an environmental asset. Consider painting it with sickly greens, browns, and rusty metallics to enhance its horrifying appearance, and perhaps add some flocking or texture paste to the base to simulate a diseased environment.
