Title says it all really.
Colour match is not 100% as I didn't use my light tent.













close-up of the face -


close-up of the sword -


This was done 1st with a grey primer coat then airbrushed with 'palid flesh' & 'scorched brown'.
The flesh was then shaddow airbrushed with 'palid flesh' mixed with 'crimson gore' followed by an all over wash of 'ogryn flesh' mixed with future floor polish.
A number of different glazes were applied using the old GW inks mixed with either 'ard coat' varnish or the future.

The rusty parts where first airbrush highlighted with 'dark flesh' then 'bestial brown' before MIG pigments were added.
I put a base of 'old rust' mixed with water on first brfore fixing it before using 'std rust' & 'light rust' (just the front right claw & the sword).
I used brown & green inls on the sword to give the impression of plaguyness leaching out. Need to do some more wotk on this though as it isn't that evedent.

C&C welcome as always!!

BTW don't try uploading images while you're boiling milk on the stove :(

Sweet! Well not sweet "sweet", but you get what I mean... I would like to make a defiler and a GUO from a plague hulk if i got the option.

Great job on the skin so far- looking forward to seeing the completed project!

Looking awesome dude!

That is a perfectly disgusting model. Good job!

Ooooh! I'm working on one of these at the moment.
That ones looking quite good. I love the Vomit.
But remember; no plaguehulk is finished if you can still eat your breakfast in front of it.

Nice so far but I really hope your going to go back to all that rusted metal and do something with it. it looks way to plain to me.

Milk is best served cold! Why would you boil it!


Agreed with above that the metal should be more rusty. If you need inspiration look at some ork tanks. They have lots of good rust.

I know it's been a while but I get distracted easily & have that joyous illness, depression.
Anywho here's the latest -







& here's a failed Photoshop Elements experiment -



I've started using oil paints - the red areas of flesh & the boils - to try to get smoother wet-in-wet blending.

Wow that is amazing , love the purple intistine if thats how you spell it xD , really neat painting.

~UnDeAd~

that is just awesomely amazing... I really love Nurgle and this should be used as an official model
FOR THE DARK GODS OF CHAOS...!
FOR NURGLE...!

Loving it mmore and more, everytime.

That thing looks SICK! .. in a good way. Really did a good job of capturing the shading on the skin & sores.

Did I see this at Pompey GW yesterday?

No - the one a Pompy GW is the one I converted from a soul grinder. This one is the 'proper' FW one.

Thanks for all the comments. Makes me all happy inside!

That's wonderfully disgusting work Bubber!
