Title: Nurgle warband (Nov 29 - More plaguebearers)
Post by: Nord on September 18, 2017, 02:34:59 PM
A little Nurgle daemon warband. To avoid the usual green palette, I went with a deathly pale skin, inspired by the thin weird guy in Pan's Labrynth.

Nice choice of palette, green for Nurgle troops starts to be a bit tiring.

These are superb (it hardly needs saying!). That's a splendid palette for them too. I often think that the default painting of so many monsters green is quite limiting - not least because it removes one option for natural-looking clothing, and also because can reduce the contrast with basing and is just a flat-out unconvincing colour for anything that looks vaguely mammalian. There are exceptions, of course. Anyway, what a brilliant set of models! They do that ogre from Pan's Labyrinth proud!

Wow! These are lovely! What base colour did you use for the skin?

Frigging superb!  Makes me regret doing mine in the piss-yellow I chose.  Those are some of the best plaguebearers I've ever seen (and the colour choice is perfect!).

Jaw-dropping!

(And as we're talking of droppings, when he rises from that deep squat, I imagine he'll leave something awful - and animate - behind ...)

That really is an extraordinary paintjob, though. As others have said, the rusty sword alone is magnificent.

A riot of vile colours and textures in this thread (awesome work on the big guy in particular) - loving it.

Wonderfully disgusting! I love the trunked creature in particular, but these are all great models brought to their peak by superb painting.
Title: Re: Nurgle warband (Nov 19 - Plague Flies)
Post by: Nord on November 20, 2017, 06:17:42 PM
Thanks all. Loving painting up these foul little beasts - got some more plaguebearers (with a few twists) and the little nurgling chaps up next.

I think Noo Noo was my favourite too.  :D

Apologies for not finding this before tonight - never really been a fan of chaos beyond Skaven but these have changed my mind  :D

Having been wondering what to do with the 40K Nurgle figures from the starter set you have just solved it for me!

Great result for a disgusting set of troops.

You certainly nailed down how to paint Nurgle thingies - lovely (I guess) array of shades of green and brown there.

Perfect! :-*

Post by: Nord on November 29, 2017, 04:25:09 PM
Thanks guys. And another batch of plaguebearers added - spot the vintage figure! Possibly the last update for a while as that's pretty much all the Nurgle daemons painted up. Hopefully some new releases in the new year.......

For those interested, I have a facebook page with more photos ===> link (https://www.facebook.com/NordsPaintingSaga/)

Love the pale colours!

Is the big headed guy in the front some sort of special model?
Title: Re: Nurgle warband (Nov 29 - More plaguebearers)
Post by: Nord on November 30, 2017, 09:37:16 AM
Thanks guys. The only group shot I have is this one, with a few of their buddies. Half of the army is now in Hong Kong, the rest will be going soon, so no chance of an army shot I'm afraid.  :'(

The big headed guy (I prefer Mr Smiley) is a metal figure, from way back (late 80's / early 90s). They pop up on ebay at regular intervals.

They're fantastic - quite the best treatment of these models I've seen.

If you don't mind my asking, what's your recipe for the pale skin?

Beautiful (can you say that?) Plaguebearers!!

This are the first Nurgle demons I see that actually look like plagued with real life diseases.

May I ask what paints have you used for them? Specially the dead flesh.
