Thanks guys, been having a hard time keeping motivated on the Ultramarines so after a few days of non hobby stuff I found a spruce of pox walkers. After building priming and some dry brushing I dug out the contrast paints. This is what I have come up with so far. These will bring up the walker count to 40.

Thanks for looking.

Nice looking "ultramarines "

i really like the transformation effect on the growing horns.

Lovely sticky swarm. Comfort painting ftw!

Looks good Yorkright. I'm all for cheating when it comes to painting...

Looks good from here. Which is about as close as one would want to get to a shambling horde of putrescent wretches.

It was quite a fun to paint up some more of papa nurgles boys.

Thanks Gitz, I do love me some cheating sometimes.. when it comes to painting.

Thanks Buddy, going to work a bit more on them later today, hopefully have some pics of the finished shamblers soon.

They look cool, it’s good to mix up the projects I always find. A palette cleanser if you will, though I’m not sure that’s a good analogy for nurgles lads

. Love that quote about palette cleanser.

Here’s the messy mob finished. Do you guys think a little bit of vegetation on a few of them is in order? I included a pic of some of the Deathguard I did when 8th came out.

Again thanks for looking.

Ugly! I wouldn’t get too close to them, but a bit of vegetation wouldn’t hurt to tie them in to the death guard. I like how you painted a few of the cracked bits as stones, helps sell a real environment better

Now those are some sick (in every sense of the word) Poxwalkers. And I gotta second gobert, a bit vegetation on their bases would unify them and the marines.

Those poxwalkers are looking great

Nice and colorful. A few tufts here and there wouldn't be a bad thing.

Your typhus is especially horrible, in all the right places.

Glad they are looking sick exactly what I was going for.

. Thanks End, I do have soft spot for the Deathguard.

They are the most colorful of all the pox walkers I’ve painted so far. I did add some tufts to the lot.

. Thanks Graven. Hopefully you’ll like his glamour shot below.

Here I a couple of (poor) pictures of the walkers and a few shots of the lot together. 40 so far, do I need more?

That’s a colourful horde of walkers right there! Nurgle are so often pallid desaturated colours but I prefer the vibrancy of the sickness, they look great

Oh la la, tres chic! Yeah, great mix of colours.

Nice shot, they really go well together!

Merci beaucoup mon amie. ( I did have to google that )

Thanks Commissar, it is nice to see you back.

I love the riot of colors in the group shot. Truely chaotic.

. Thanks Theo! What’s not to love about Papa Nurgles minions.

Forced myself to sit down and finish the last 5 of the Assault Intercessor squad, I think it’s been a month since starting them. As there bases were drying I grabbed the new Captain and started on him.
Again thanks for checking in.

Nice one finishing the Intercessors. It’s always good to finish off a slow burn project. I love the open helmet on the Captain, it’s such a cool model. Have fun painting him up

Thanks Commissar, it is nice to see you back.

Good to be back . I'll have to look at restarting the squeaky waaagh blog as well I guess.

Nice work on the intercessors, finishing units is always rewarding!

really nice looking Deathguard york, the variation in fabric helps a lot.

The walkers look great together Yorkright. New blue looks sharp too!

Assault Intercessors look good, as does the Captain.

Thanks guys, did not make much time to paint this week but did get a bit more work done on the Captain. Pretty happy how he is turning out so far. My biggest fear is his face, any help would be appreciated.

Always nice to finish a unit and captain is coming along great, very nice shield. Regarding the face, I always work inside out in such cases. So I would do the skin, try to do eyes (although in the end may just do some dark wash) and then veeeeeery carefully do the parts around the skin.

Looking good so far. As for the Face I’d probably get in there early, which isn’t much help right now! . As it’s quite recessed you might be able to get away with a quick base and a wash to show him in the shadow almost, maybe a bit of Agrax if you want to accentuate the shade. Then touch up with the base colour again? Better advice would be to not listen to me as I struggle with skin tones too, so I’ll be trying the contrast skin tones on my next lot!

I think it's looking fine Yorkright. Just jump in and see what you can do. Once you've got a start we might be able to come up with some good advice.

For such a small, enclosed area, Contrast might not be a bad idea. Get some light base coat in there, follow up with a dash of Gulliman's. Little dark wash around the eye sockets. Ready for action.
