Building on the three scavvies from my last post, I wanted to add in some cool characters to the gang. Obviously the Scavvy King will make an appearance down the line, but he can't be the only scavvy of note. That's where Papa Zhon comes in. I picked up the palanquin-less Nurgle champion an age ago, and he's been patiently waiting for the right project to come along. I reckon a motorised chair for an aging scavvy is exactly the right use for him!!

The figure is essentially the Nurgle champion sat on a RT land speeder chair and stuck onto a plastic Epic land raider. The flamer is from a Tau battlesuit kit I think, and the rest of the ornaments and details came from my bits box.
It did take a long time to work out the colour scheme on Papa Zhon as there were so many details. I agonised on whether he would have a dull brown robe and hood, but in the end I decided to make it more interesting with the dark blue-green. I added the stripes near to the end as the hood was looking a little boring.
I couldn't resist painting his big flamer button red (for emergencies!).
I don't think the little imps are nurglings. Probably something equally unpleasant, but native to Necromunda.
I suspect that Papa Zhon has the ear of the King - either as his trusted advisor, or possibly as a deceitful and ambitious rival...
