As a first project after coming back into the hobby, I decided that a DP of Nurgle would do. However, out of my old habits, I glued the model directly to the base after assembly.

I want to give this one a nice base, using some kind of toxic river going between it's feet. But I have no idea how to accomplish this when the model is already attached.
Clear coat resin won't work due to it having a model on it already.

Could it be done by simply using a lot of agrellan earth and put nurgle's rot in between? Or am I better off finding a way to dissolve the glue?

Any help appreciated!

It can be done using Stirland Battlemire/Mud. Go quite thick so the DP looks like he's sinking into the mud and form a channel between his legs that can later be painted with Caliban Green then Nurgles Rot.

Depending on the glue used to attach to the base it may be possible to either snap or prise the model away.

Just take it off the base?

I did it for a whole DG army. First, get this tool, it makes life sooooo much easier when the model is already glued on: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/M-Texture-Speader

Use stirland mud. let dry, then apply like a forest green (dark angels green if your sticking with citadel). When you use the stirland mud it will create little "valleys," for lack of a better word. Paint the dark green in those valleys. When you've already glued your models I usually just do the front and back of 25-32mm models but got a bit crazy on the larger bases.

Then use the Nurgle's rot technical over the green paint: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Technical-Nurgles-Rot. When it's all done it comes out like the ooze from ninja turtles and very nurgle, and very toxic.
