Hey everyone, just finished my second Nurglesque marauder, in advance I apologize for what you are about to see

If you're eating you may want to come back when you're finished.

He's based on an Empire plastic archer (like the last one), I increased his height slightly with pinning and wire, the banner is a cocktail stick and greenstuff.
I'm debating whether or not to add something to the flap of skin banner but I'm not sure (let me know what you think).
Also there are a few places that could be smoother on the joins between the green stuff (eg the banner hand) but this is my only second attempt at extensive greenstuffing.

Anyway let me know what you think and any constructive criticism would be much appreciated thanks and if you can rate my gallery that would be grand

Again I'm so, so sorry

**Bash the Bosh**

Awesome work!

I'm going to show my mum this after she's watched 'Songs of Praise', she'll love it

Very, VERY impressive work on the flesh on the Banner - looks amazing.

Only suggestion - use a Satin Varnish - makes it look a lot less 'out of a box'.

You are indeed strong with the Force...As the Emperor predicted..

Cheers thanks very much, the banner was fun to paint

I wanted him to look sticky or sweaty but I see what you mean can you suggest a good satin varnish?

**The CF**

Eww! I was actually disgusted by seeing this.
Awesome!

Great paintjob for sure!

Thanks very much and @Cornerfag thanks again, I think Nurgle stuff should be as repulsive as possible.
I'm not really sure where to go with the next figure, I might try and do a whole regiment of morbidly obese marauders maybe even some with clothes on

**michaelcycle**

This model is vile. Love it!

**DeathRex**

I have never been so happily disgusted in my life. That is a vile and well made piece. Great work.

**Veteran Sergeant**

That's a pretty heinous looking model, so it appears you were successful.

**McNinja**

This is should be the standard for all Nurgle models. It's just so... Nurgle-y.

**Norn King**

WRETCHED! in a good way.

**Sarpedon_702**

Your flayed skin on the standard is simply divine. Your colors are perfect. The bloat of infection is also represented well. Nice work!

**oadie**

That banner is perfect. The model holding it, I could take or leave, but that banner...

**junk**

That banner is amazing.

**Jonesyboy12**

HOLY CRAP!! THAT IS THE MOST GRUESOME THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! Truly a thing of nightmares. Amazing!

**The Epic Chaosdude!!!**

Congratulations! You are the first person to ever create a miniature which gave me a gak reflex. Bravo sir, bravo...

Spoiler:

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Another outstanding piece of work, completely disgusting and horrific. Really looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Thanks very much everyone, I'm just working on some normal boring Plague Bearers at the moment.
I've started a blog in the blog section to keep what I'm doing in one place if anyone's interested:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/419078.page
I't a mix of Skaven and Nurgle stuff that I'm working on.

Also I've just ordered this guy, can't wait to paint him/it

Everyone should check out his other miniatures, not a huge amount of them but amazing nevertheless:

Have you ever experimented with woodland scenics water effects for ooze and goo? I think it could work well on your models

**headnhalf**

I was thinking about trying it, is it easy to work with?
Do you just slap it on and leave to dry?

Thinking about it now having the mini's up to their ankles in clear water/resin would look amazing... hmm

**Digits**

Banner is SOOOOOO gross, I nearly wretched!!!

AWESOME!!!!

**Byte**

I think the gloss finish works well on this model. Good stuff.
