Decayed Plaguemarine Backpack, with Nurgling

To create variation within my plague marine squads, I have tried using a plethora of minor conversions.  This Death Guard marine has a ruined backpack -- I've chopped off the right hand side vent (as pictured) and glued a lot of grit around the edge of the pack.  Using some wire, I've then created an attachment from the damaged side to the broken off bit that is sat next to a nurgling on the base.

The nurgling is a Realms of Chaos era one and to ensure that the pose looks correct, I've bored a hole through his hand where he is holding on to the wire.  The broken part of the backpack is then inserted up to his mouth, making it look like he's having a cheeky drink from the messed up remains of the back pack.
