Fantastic stuff – gorgeous paintwork on some of my very favourite models. The blending's sublime, and the colour work is muted but arresting. Really, really wonderful!

And then there were six. These old chaos shields are getting harder to find these days, so I 3d-printed this 'compatible' version. It's a bit chunkier than the original in order to print better. Difference isn't particularly noticeable.

It just keeps going

They look fantastic winterdyne, really nice to these models get some love.

I'm really not a fan of Oldhammer stuff aside from the stray figure here and there, but painted like this, they really do look awesome.
Incredible work.

Very Jim Henson vibe from these. Really dig them, the paint is a fantastic compliment to the sculpt.

The Warrior is my favourite so far. Cracking stuff!

I've got the soundtrack to Labyrinth stuck on loop in my head. But that's been true for years.

I like them a lot. They make me think fairytale books and a certain darkride in a themepark around here.

In my experience, the nurgle range are some of the few oldhammer models (both warhammer and 40k) that stand up to their modern day counterparts, and these exude a real sense of fun, but also exert a malign influence. The colours are very natural and you could almost see these guys as camouflaged jungle fighters, were it not for the clanking hulks in armour and the putrid stench!

These are all really lovely miniatures. The sculpts are wonderful and you're painting them up a treat! That is for sharing these, I'd probbably never have come across these miniatures otherwise. They must be really quite rare.

Another plaguebearer got done the other night. Big group shot:

Just beautiful painting, models take me back to my youth

Now up to 9 plaguebearers. 21 to go. In this unit. :-p
Quite please with how colourful they are, one of the things I wanted to keep strong was lots of colour (while staying nurgly)...

This is great stuff. I'm a new nurgle player and I'm loving these old models. Keep it up.

These guys make me look at my new plague bearers and think why Geedub these guys looks so awesome cartoonish but thats why we love the big papa

A very well executed, and I don't doubt, satisfying project. Excellent work, have a cookie.
I'm guessing there's a Great Unclean One in the offing?

Just the one right now. Need to save up for another one. :-)

Deep in the Reikwald Forest, there was a Porcelain Throne, said once to have been used by the God-King Sigmar himself. Now occupied by the daemon Faecius Shanks, its stinking approach heraldes the coming of the hordes of Papa Nurgle...

Faecius and his minions:


Faecius Shanks, Herald of Nurgle:

Beautiful!

Bellstaff joins the champions:

And another one. Banner is most likely going to be tweaked later, but I've had enough of it for now. Needs sharpening, possibly push the saturation on it a bit more, and I still feel it's missing something. Not sure what, though.

Looks fantastic. I'm very envious and nostalgic all at once

Absolutely smashing work! The variety of colors is great -- complimentary but diverse. Love your old collection -- I've some myself and am struggling with the skin. Sending PM soon to see if you can answer a quick question.

The skin here ... on these two Plague Bearers. Simply fantastic necrotic flesh. Makes me want to listen to Carcass tonight. Fine work mate.

Much happier with the banner now.



And in with the unit

One more Nurgle champ to go to complete the unit of ten. Here's number nine (tech weapon):

... and number 10, pistol & sword, completing the unit.

These are beautiful, Winterdyne! The nostalgia is great, but your painting is really bringing these old minis to life and you're doing a great job of making them look less dated.

Deliciously Nurgly!
