Nurgle warband (Nov 29 - More plaguebearers)
« on: 18 September 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!

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!).

I think you made the right call on the colors - they look great!
