ROUND 1 Lords of Decay vs ‘Adjuva Deus!'

[Captain Blood]

[Hu Rhu]

Great entries both of you.

[Blue in vt]

Another tough decision here....I have a soft spot for those Nurgle marines...where is the deamon from?

There is also no denying that those foot knights are top notch.

Cheers,

Blue

Wow, very nice metals Michael! Lovely work!

[Mr Tough Guy]

Great work on both entries,

looks like chaos and in particularly Nurgle is well represented in the first round 

[Lord Blackheart]

The Daemon Prince looks like it has a Beast of Nurgle head swap. Very effective. I love the bubbling ooze on the bases.

[Skratch]

I like Grandfather Nurgle, but the Foot Knights are IMO just a bit better. They just match better with the scene.

Wow, very nice metals Michael! Lovely work!

The armour is particularly gleaming, Michael.
Do you mind if I ask which paints you use on your metalwork?

I tried some newer colour brands and like them quite well:

Black undercoat (airbrush)
Army Painter (AP) gunmetal
AP Quickshade strong tone
AP plate mail metal
AP shining silver (selected highlights only)
No varnish!

The non-armour parts got a coat of Daler-Rowney cryla flat varnish, of course.

I like the AP brand of colours, they are well composed and their inks dry flat, not shiny.

Thanks Michael - I shall try that
