Plague marines are foul and excellent. Shoddy from Spellcrow, mind you.

TBH I'm not so fond of the Spellcrow bits, but the kitbashing & GS-work in both PM & Oblits are stunning !

Coming along nicely. How exactly are you painting the Death Guard scheme?

Now that's a question

From white undercoat

I paint the green armour first in a watered down Vallejo Heavy Green

Then wash the entire model in Army Painter Soft Tone

Then go over the armour joins and detail bits with GW Agrax Earthshade

The above two steps can be changed for a single coat of GW Devlin Mud if you have any left. Agrax dries streaky really hate that so be carful not to get in on plain surfaces like arms or legs..

Green armour is highlighted Vallejo Dead Flesh

Washes applied in various places all GW, Baal Red, Leviathan Purple and Lamenters Yellow.

Note: I do all the washes from the soft tone to this point at the same time while they are all still wet so they mix nicely

Weapons rust effect is base coat Vallejo Panzer Dark Rust, dry brush Light Rust, dry brush Yellowish Rust, final dry brush Vallejo Air Gungrey (metallic silver)

Add gloss to make parts look icky.

And after that you should have some lovely Plague marines

There's five of these guys so far and some bigger minotaur ones as well.

Yeah was a bit disappointing.

Cheers Ygg's and welcome back to dakka

Skipping ahead now with update day seven as I wanted to get all the Plague Marines to this point





Just the bases left to do now for these, will probably save that for next weekend, mean while I'll try and start the Oblits this week.

I'm going to have that in my head for the rest of the day now

Lots of nice work Gir'.

A bit of feedback on the last lot, bare in mind this is coming from someone that has not managed to get OSL to work himself, your OSL looks a bit too blue where is hits to armour pieces. Less like a blue-lit surface and more blue-painted. Unfortunately, I can't offer any suggestions on how to make it look like I think it should. Keep at it though.

Nice work. I still haven't decided how I'll paint my Death Guard/Plague Marines. I've got probably half a dozen painted in about as many schemes (from a long time ago, now). Going "proper" dirtied-up Death Guard isn't something you see all that often, but you've got them looking very nice indeed.

Cheers Azazelx, Nurgle guys are quite fun to paint.

A few bits are a bit blue but when you look at them from table top distance they look ok, I may add a bit more to the highlights after the tournament.

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

Been a bit quite the last few days I have been trying to get these Nurgles infested dudes finished.

The Plague Marines are now finished but they've eaten my basing brush so I need to try and find another cheap one but have been failing in that department so far.





They don't look great in these photos not sure why but you get the idea.

I started on the Oblits today, I've finished four so far. The below pic shows the first three finished better pics will be supplied when the are all done.



I also had a nice supply drop from FW on Friday.



A few things for next years KoW project some Empire Ironsides and Elspeth Von Drakken, shes such a lovely model I wanted to pic one up in case they decided to stop making them like the did with the Landship. I also want some Chaos Dwarf minis but I couldn't afford them in this order as I picked up a couple of Sicaran's for my Mantis Warriors. Really cant wait to crack on with these to be honest I still need to pick up a few more things for the MW's, they will be the next big project.

After the Nurgle guys I'll be working on my PanO minis for Infinity as I finally got my paints then it's MW time maybe a Sister splash as well alongside them, depends if I can get the girls up to 1750 points with a few purchases for a tournament in October.

Very pretty Gir. Well done!

I think the Plaguemarines/Death Guard look great. The only thing I'd change would be doubling the size of the photos, so I can get a really good look at them. And yes, that's a request!

Or individual pics of them at double the size.

Cheers Azazelx, once I've finished painting the Oblits I'll do a photo session with them all, think along the lines of Nurgle pinups

AHHH! What great Nurgle creations. Your painting is superb! Looking forward to seeing more.

Very nice (in a weird way) Nurgle marines.

Amazing stuff mate. Went through the last pages, up to the Drop Pod, and they really look great

Keep it up !
And enjoy the cleaning session on the FW bits, if you haven't started it

Cheers, I'm going to try and bash out the Obits this weekend, I may not finish the basing but we shall see.

Thanks ciuncky the drop pod seems like ages ago now.

The FW stuff is still in the box, I'm not looking forward to the clean up process really hate cutting the flow connector bits off.

*sniff sniff* Yep definitely Death Guard in here! Whew!

Nice work

Been a bit quiet lately but I have been slowly getting the Death Guard finished.

There's only one Oblit left who's based is being worked on which chicken flamer head, should be ready tomorrow along with another Oblit who's pic didn't come out very well.

So here's the rest including big shots for Azazelx.





















And the Oblits















Must admit I saved them all as the wrong magie type which is why they have a bit of bluring but I wasnt going to do them all again

I'll also do some groups shots of the Oblits tomorrow and remember to save them correctly

Very nice usage of the WFB bits on these miniatures, good convos! Painting is also very fitting, all dark and dirty exactly as papa nurgle likes.

Thanks NAVARRO, glad you like them and welcome to my blog

They have turned out really well. Although it's a very dirty and corroded Nurgle scheme you have done a great job of still keeping it a crisp and detailed paint scheme. Hope that makes some sense....

Just love them...

I love these!

So nasty and gross!

I guess that means you did good work!

hes holey right?

Cheers Archer that was the effect I was trying to go for, very Nurlge but not over the top.

Very Miss Dee

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

I forgot to take the picture of the Oblit who didn't come out , but he is in one of the group shots below.

And we of course have Chicken flamer head guy



Group Shots, one of these will be sitting on the side line for the tournament this coming weekend as I'm only running eight.







So that's all the Nurgle for now I'm afraid.

While I had some spare time today I re-painted little Annik's skin as I wasn't happy with it, I learnt quite a bit painting the oblits.



Finally my next project has begun Infinity PanO time

The blue is looking good!

Thanks EyeamRai it wasn't easy, I just hope I can replicate it.

Bloody disgusting mate!

Cheers Graven filth at its best.

They all look great Gir. Should make your opponent's skin crawn appropriately!
