Da Plague-mandos!

This is the second unit i've painted since returning to the hobby after a long break, I never really enjoyed the painting much compared to the kitbashing. So I tried to stick to techniques I actually enjoy doing and I will say I actually did enjoy doing all of these models. Usually I get a bit bored and just leave them once they have enough colours to not look terri-bad.

Lore
Spoiler:
Under the blessing of Mork and Gork, Snikrot made a pact with Papa nurgle to aide some blighties in stealing something valuable, something chaosy, shiney, valuable. Aaaaaand in true blood axe ork fashion.... once the job was done... Snikrot and da boyz broke the pact and made off with all da loot!

Laughin' their arses off da boyz thought they had pulled off a great heist, but what they didn't realise was Papa nurgle had the last laugh, in breakin' da pact Snikrot and da boyz got infected with a space STD. Everytime a boy under Snikrot's command dies a plague-mando spore is released, this single spore will birth one of these ghoulish horrors; half ork, half plague-demon. They stalk Snikrot and his crew across the stars (like the film it follows).

You know their presence is near when the local fauna begins to wilt and wither, they stalk the shadows, their bodies mutating into trees and other organic matter, the last thing you see is the glint of their eyes in the darkness; blood red and thirsting, the last thing you hear is their scraping rusty blades as its plunged into your torso.














--------------------------------------------

This is about half the unit. I have a Snikrot model done, and a couple non-based models. I now just need to print some parts to make the special carrying boyz and a few more so I can have 2 units or 1 large one.

I am calling these guys done for now; I am considering a few final touches once I bring the extra models I need to make up to this point. What I am thinking of doing;
  • Static grass on the bases
  • Considering doing some pigment work on the trees, maybe some nurgly greens and blues, with some purples thrown in, to try and give the idea that they've infected the local forests and are spreading disease and plagues as they go - like how the pgiments heavily enough add texture
  • maybe some green ink with UHU glue to make some poison on the blades
  • A final wash on the metal - As i did some final highlights with mythril and its maybe a tad bright

    Very creepy and more than a bit gross.

    In short, great work!
