So today i started on my Chaos Rhino. It will be a possessed rhino so you will see where i went with it in the pics. I will from this point on be turning this into a tutorial as much as a Plog. This rhino will exhibit the characteristics of Khorne and Nurgle.

I Used Milliput Superfine White for all modeling on this rhino.
I Find it best to work the two parts of the Milliput for about 4 minutes.

I then wet my fingers and start to flatten it out into a sheet about 2 millimeters thick. This should be deep enough to make the markings. Unlike GS which tends to be more along the lines of rubber like in qualities, Milliput is more like modeling clay. I used a toothpick and starting on the outer edges start to pull it flush to the model. after i have the layer moved and stretched like i want it i then dip my toothpick in water and start to go back along the edge and rough it up and make it irregular. from that point the effect is up to you. You can make close and condensed, or wide and large indentions. Just be sure to keep the pattern irregular.


The the blobs where made with small balls of Milliput that i placed on the already finished "Nurgle Rot". I then took the toothpick and pressed around the edges of it to make it look like it was stuck and growing. The point of these things is to be the source of the "rot" on the model. They are kind of like the Creep cells of the Zerg on Starcraft. When done it should look something like those

The tenticals are just made by rolling small buts of Milliput in you hand to make it like a tentical and the cut stick and repeat.

Below is my finished product so you can visualize what these things look like.

Let me know what you think and stay tuned for the painting of this piece.

It looks gross, which since it's Nurgle is a compliment

It looks good; the only bit of advice I have is on the boils. I think they should be widest on their bottom where they meet the rest of the growth, instead of slightly narrowing like they do now. Maybe you could add a ring of Milliput around the edge to hide the narrowing, like dead burst flesh where the boils came up.

I agree.
Advice I have is make some parts in that white puffy parts where there is some kinda Scorpion green eye! You know the kind of eye that has the Iris of it where its that slit down the middle. I took that one piece of terrain that has the wrecked Rhino and Dead Tree's and Craters on it and those bulby looking parts in the tree's where painted like eyes...looks kinda cool!

So green nurgle eyes.

EDIT*
Also a squid or Octopus like head in the middle near the front where all of those tentacles are....and make a bunch of sick boils where its a boil within a boil.So its biggest around the bottom and curves inward and downward a little bit and than another smaller bulb.

Double Edit*

And...you know those models in the Chaos and other galleries that have the gooy looking trails of slime.
Use some of that too! That would look reallly cool...but it might over do it a bit....I Dunno. You could string some of that around the spikes and stuff and make it look all snotty and green and ICKY! Or have a bit coming out of those vents on those pipe looking things on the sides like its oozing out of it from the Inside so the inside of your rhino can be filled with Disgusting gooy slimy Disease.
