Hi guys.

Here is the start of my new nurgle army, after not been painting for half a year this one worked as my training dummy. As for the mini im not sure if im satisfied with it or not, the robe and the chest ended being good but dont know about the rest. Still not sure with what color im going to do the highlights, the silver that i've used now doesent seem to be working that well after all, and maybe some more contrast for the green would make it. I also had troubles getting the head not to look like for being from another model, the shape it is now is only result for covering one bad attempt, even though it ended up ok as it is now, some more work for the eyes and the mask part would make nice difference. The legs ended up being quite dissapointing, tried some tricks there which didnt work out at all, luckily the shadows are covering them . Not the best, not the worst but atleast after a brake im feeling good to continue painting the rest 2 squads with this scheme. Hope you like it

Nice job!

Bit brief but nothing else I can really say.

Maybe add some arms?

The metal is too clean, add some rust. Otherwise great and dirty, add arms and please to something about the base : )

Looks great to me so far

I dont know, I started to like him without the arms, but here they are now, with some more painting done. I took pictures from other angles too but for some wierd reason the first one was only good one. Anyway, now the champion mutated a powerfist for himself, which also was my first conversion with gs, which did not work out that well, but luckily with nurgle the uglier the better, specially with pink/purple powerfists I see some flaws in the painting now which came from the model hitting the table, need to fix them but apart that its starting to look good. The base is still horrible, luckily it is hidden, need to come up with something nice for it. The stuff in front of the base is not glue, its snow, as is the shiny parts in the model, had a little snow accident while taking the photos. Thanks for the comments guys

I really like the pain(t) scheme!
On a personal note, i think it would benefit with some gloss on the slimy bits (like, say, slime... and... stuff) but even if you don't bother, at this stage, thats some mean-looking flu-marines

Painted some more of these guys. I made a wonderfull discovery that painting with a fresh brush instead of a worn out surely helps (not so axiomatic after all ) otherwise im still tryng different styles of painting these and not sure which one works best. But anyway, here they are







Last but not least, a family shot

Really loving the contrast between the fleshy pink and the diseased greens!

Top stuff.

What is that aspiring plague marine holding? I don't want to feel stupid but It just looks like a solid Hawaiian punch sword?

It's powerfist. I wanted to make it look like more mutation than actuall weapon.

Nice work,very putrid looking,I especialy like the work you've done on the flesh,it conveys a nice diseased look very well.

I cant help but notice this guys left arm is glued kinda...low? Or is it just me?

Awesome paintjob though, looks fair putrid
