This is the first model in my Nurglings unit. The eyes really frustrated me and I'm still not happy with them, but otherwise I think the model turned out okay since I'm just starting up again after a long long break. If anyone has any advice or tips for the next two Nurglings i'm painting it would be greatly appreciated.

It's a touch messy around the eyes, I recommend going back with the original color and cleaning that up. Otherwise, they look pretty good. You've got color variation among the nurglings, so they don't look like a big blob and the shading is good.

The color variety is most definitely good; i think i might be odd in that i just don't like red eyes in general. These guys are very solid and well done though

One tip ive found with eyes is to use black ink or very thined down black paint .paint the eyes a colour then use a very small wash on the eyes ,then take a dry paint brush and wick away just enough to have your base colour show though

Thank you. The red eyes wasn't my first choice either. I initially tried to go with yellow, but it turned out SO BAD, and red was the only other color I could come up with at the time. I sort of want to try just an off-white with a dark grey dot like I did for my plague drone riders and I may still try and redo it, but I am just worried that I already have so much paint on the eyes that if I add anymore I'll just end up making it worse.

That's a good tip. I will try that on my next model and see how it goes.

Finished all 3 models. Still struggling with the eyes, but otherwise pretty happy with them.
