I love how fleshy your Nurgle stuff is, really impressive and interesting take on it.
My eldest is gradually building a Nighthaunt force, so I'm trying to figure out how to make a army out of the daemons I have to support my

Personally I'm a fan of doing costumes yellow, which fades to red at the edges. White spot at the high point and a nice gloss finish. They can work well in greens or purples too, but purples probably won't stand out so much against your flesh.

Hey, well done for keeping it together whilst working at a hospital. It must be tough.

I love the skintones on your Nurgle stuff.

Thanks guys, the flesh tones are working out for me too. I’ve always disliked doing skin tones and even had my custome Marine chapter being ones that never removed their helmets so I didn’t have to paint flesh . But when you find something that works you run with it.
@Fifty, yeah, it’s hard to concentrate at times, especially now, but then you find yourself washing your hands for the third time in ten minutes and you know your doing it right.
@monkeytroll, I tried the yellow, but wasn’t getting the contrast, might just be because of the horn colors so close, I’ll get plenty of practice I guess.
@graven. Nurgle could work, but if your son is already doing nighthaunt, you might want to get the Stormcast so you can split the starter box with him. Also being in England you have access to the partswork AOS magazine and can get cheap Stormcast that way. Though they are basically marines , there seems to be a bunch of ways to play them. You could also convert them into chaos worshippers of Nurgle and do a Slaves to darkness/Nurgle army to go with your Plaguebearers.

Little bit of painting this morning, touched up a Gluttony Avatarfrom The Others:seven sins. It can operate as the character Gutrot Spume who lets me bring in a unit of Maggotkin from any board edge and his tentacles can disarm an opponent. Or I think he can work as a beast of Nurgle.

Going to repaint the rest of the models from the set as big nurglings to help fill bases with the extras from the Blightkings.

Yeah the little guy is going stormcast, older nighthaunt. Though the plague is messing with it a bit Turns out that, albeit somewhat in bits, I have almost 2k daemons

Keep up the fleshy nasty!

Good work Theophony. Keep safe.

Sincerely,

CB

Nice work on the Gluttony Avatar! He should make a good Gutrot Spume, but may look to dour for a beast of Nurgle, they always look so joyous

Thanks guys.

So much going on right now. It’s nice to be considered an essential employee, and still able to work both jobs, but it has some drawbacks. Mainly lack of time to paint. I am glad that I was able to get all my Nurgle needs before this shut down. I see Miniaturemarket has removed the GW discount, at least on most stuff, and others have likewise reduced or eliminated it as well. Supply and demand I guess, but if most people are like me they have mountains to paint stored up.

Anyway, speaking of mountains, I have a mountain of fleshy bits to show off . That sounds worse than it should

Glottkin, stand in guttrot spume, and stand I need nurglings.

Closer look at the nurglings, because who wouldn’t want that .

Taking some time to paint up the Wurmspat now.

Stay safe,
Stay healthy,
Stay six feet away .

Gluttony guys came out as lovely little helpers for Papa.

Green boils look good against that skin too

Lovely group shot! Glottkin looks great alongside all those Other tubbers

Papa seems to be truly blessing you for your faith

A horde of gross. Gaslands neighborhood has really gone downhill..

I picked up the Apocalypse expansion for The Others real cheap. Nice to see the models paint up well for if I ever get to it. Keep safe. Keep painting.

Every time I'm finished scrolling through this thread I have the urge to wash my hands thoroughly Great work on all stuff Nurgle, coming along nicely!

Thanks guys. Long busy day so far today and only early afternoon here.

New AC unit is installed, Justin time for possible snow flurries overnight . God I love St. Louis weather.

Did the grocery run. Really upset at how many people are out and about without masks and in groups not social distancing. The ones wearing the hospital masks especially the Walmart employees are wearing them wrong. I’ve seen inside out, tucked under the chin and not covering anything, but the one that really pisses me off is when people wear them only covering their mouths and leave their noses out so they can still breath . This virus goes through the nose, mouth and mucus membranes around your eyes to infect the hosts. I have a hard time believing people don’t understand that they will catch it by being idiots. Making cloth masks is easy and should be done if your going out, no excuses. We don’t have enough masks at the hospital so we reuse them, my position has to use the same one for three shifts before being given a new one. One of the Respiratory team said that theirs are being used for multiple shifts and then “baked” to sterilize them and then being put back into circulation, but they aren’t guaranteed to begetting the same one back, so they might get another team members mask that they wore for a few 12 hour shifts .

Anyway, to celebrate people’s belief that they are invulnerable I did some more painting this morning.

The two Wurmspat guys. So neat to paint up, still have to finish their bases, but they are loaded with character.

And their backsides including the bug butt.

Group shot of really far along but not completely completed models.


Have to do some 1:1 scale painting tonight/tomorrow.

These are excellent sticky and vile. Well done. And try ignore all the damned morons.

Yep, definitely oozy and pus-ridden, great stuff!

Wurmspat guys are great. Plenty of grotesque in that lineup.

Love that dark green of the armour, contrasts nice with the flesh!

Good work, Theo'.

re. masks: Yeah, the first thing I thought when everyone went out and bought all the disposable masks and gloves, was that the general public don't know how to use them properly to get the benefits. And it's leading to a false sense of security, which will just lead to unnecessary infections and prolonging of the lockdowns that they are trying to circumvent. Not to mention depriving the people that need and can use those things.

Thanks guys. Got a bit of painting time in the other night so I worked on the base skin tone and a wash on all the Maggotkin.

Also started painting more on Feculae Flyblown.

Almost getting completed.
Also started working on some maggoty lower bodies for the left over upper bodies of the Pusgoyle Maggotkins.

Another of the three just to see.

Holy batch painting. Cool idea for the spare torso bits.

Can't go wrong with diseased, rotting maggot-men...

I would go mad batch painting so many minis at the same time! That will be a great army when this is done, the sculpting looks... well not nice, but appropriately disgusting

Loving the maggot men. It's good to see someone taking the idea through to its logical conclusion. Will they be counts as blightkings?

Thanks guys, I couldn’t let all those upper bodies go to waste after all. Nurgle takes people in all different shapes, sizes and dis/abilities.

I plan for them to just be more Blightkings, though they all have scythes or a trident, and could easily be brought up to cavalry sized bases and turned into allied Nurgle knights .

The batch painting was just to get the skin started. The absolute lowest level of skin tones. To give you an idea, going from that level to this completed guy was about four hours and five more layers on the skin alone.

And the rear view of him, because who doesn’t like the look of flabby, bloated, rotting Maggotkin booty .


Off to that new job thing. 8 more hellish hours of training classes where no one else in the group will speak up when questions are asked .

He's a lovely fellow! I do wonder just what that one bell is hanging off of

Excellent work on the sculpted maggoty leg-replacements!

Brilliant work on the maggot centaurs. Nurgle must have sent you inspiring dreams.

There is nothing worse than an unresponsive class. Nothing

I love your fleshy monstrosities. Well played!

Nice progress Theophony.

Cheers,
