I love the yellow on your Fist's. I just might nick it as I'm still having the yellow blues, so I decided to shelf them and work on something else until 'inspiration' (aka a good scheme to nick ) comes along.

As usual I am in awe of your work Nerd, it's fantastic as always and give me something pretty to look at while I take transit home from work.


( and the dreaded page roll-over)

Great work on that Plaguebearer. The fleshy style looks really great.

Cheers guys, did you see the Yellow tute in the Dakka finepainters thread? you can nick it from there :-) it's pretty straightforward and really looks great in person! any questions just send me a message!

thanks Az, I'll fleshy the lot with dry armour and i'm looking forward to brush time on my Prince stand in!

You can just about hear the slopping of dead wet skin sloughing from diseased bones as pus filled boils grow and burst only to re grow while his shambling gait leaves a putrid slime of mucus and blood in his wake.

needless to say i've finished my Nurgle herald! and he's as gross as i wanted him, plenty of lesions and bruises and some subtle pus filled boils, add to that the image of him defecating up his own back and it turning into a bone like growth is even more disturbing but hey! that's what it's all about isn't it! I didn't want to go overboard on the nurgle rot and blood for the blood god but I think i've got a good balance with wet wounds and dead flesh. It will be interesting to have a play around with the marines and terminators since they won't have as much visible skin to work with but I have an idea of painting the armour as if it actually was their skin and body? love to hear your thoughts on this?









And now for a little preview of sorts my Nurgle Demon Prince1 it's the Ultraforge model and I am going to re pose the scythe hand and add a greenstuff tentacle to the other arm which i've just added with Blu Tac to sort of give you an idea of what I'm looking to do I think he'll be a pretty good canvas for that sort of paint!

Well... That's properly gross.


Very well done Nerdy!
His backside is particularly amazing. Has just the perfect.... erm... consistency...

The big guy should look a right treat with a similar gooey scheme


Regarding painting the marines armor like the skin... Hmm... Im finding it hard to visualize. I'd say run a test mini to see how the effect looks!

How can human hands create such excellent blends of tone?

Amazing work, Nurgle approves!

Who ever said I had human hands?.....

Jesus, that is fething horrific! Amazing but terrifying stuff!

As for the SM armour/skin, perhaps an idea might be to grab some Chaos Marauder or even Demon parts and GS those to look like they're growing into/out of the armour panels, eg a bare arm that kind of morphs into a shoulder pad, or a hooved foot growing out from an armoured upper leg.

Spectacularly disgusting!

The poo-horn is really gross. Like, not sure I want to touch it gross. Good job?

Prop'r 'orrible, there Nerdy. Good job.

Absolutely astounding you've perfectly captured the slimey disgustingness of Nurgle, cant wait to see more!

There will indeed be more! That big guy is crying out to me for paint! just waiting on some wings for him and then it's go time :-)

I've also managed to get the green wash done on ALL of Whaley's Salamander models, so now it's the next arduous task of blocking in the other colours, another time consuming thing to do with nothing really exciting to show you i'm afraid :-( you'll see them all come together once i've got everything blocked in and washed that's when I move fast! ZoooooooM

Oh wow! That is very subtle but at the same time really REEEEEEEALLY gross. I kinda couldn't look away which means you did a great job, I see far too many Nurgle paint jobs look like Orks you really did a job separating the two.

Love the head you used. He is very gross indeed but in a good way! Papa Nurgle would be proud!

Two little projects to show you some wip on today

firstly I added some greenstuff to my Nurgle prince, just some ragged skin and boils and more work on his worm arm which is looking pretty good and falling naturally mimicking the shape of his tongue which i also added more too so it filled out his mouth better as I felt it was too bare!
I'm still deciding if I like his head boil? I thought he needed a larger cranium and originally added a horn bursting through the skin but it looked off so I went with another lump instead, i'm hoping it looks better once he's primed! my other option is to just make it change the shape of his head and not necessarily make it a pimple thing? what do you reckon?









So? what do we think? i'll finish him off when i get the wings and sculpt them out of his shoulder gaps.

Next little project is the start of my Armies on Parade board for this year! I'm using my Imperial Fists as the army to display and want them in a ruined city type terrain with a few Genestealers crawling about to add some interest I just started posing the Tyranids today, still need to fill out some joints but the poses are done except for one who's going to appear from a pipe somewhere









Comments and advice

The paint on the Nurgle herald is outstanding Nerdy ! its properly disgusting !

Ref. the Demon Prince, how about making the head boil thing into a mark of Nurgle ? so its three smaller boils occupying the same space, you know , just in case people weren't sure of his affiliation …..

Nice -what youre doing for the AoP board looks cracking - sweet idea and posing on those 'stealers crawling around.

Yeah.. Good concept. with the height of the buildings it will allow lots of cool places to place them.

Nurgle himself would be disgusted! Great job. Your conversion work on the nurgle prince is awesome.

I love that herald so hard. just wonderful, and really captures the "No problems here, just tossed a length of poop and intestine over my shoulder to hold my bell here. 'sall good." feel of Nurgle. I always thought that was the best part of Nurgle's theme, a comfortable sort of corruption and killing, showing the happiness of sharing themselves with everyone, while being profoundly disturbing and not being aware of it.

I don't know that big demon captures that as well. Perhaps if he was holding his scythe in a more relaxed way? Slung over or under his shoulder? Just kind of saying "Just out for a walk. What? My scythe, oh I forgot I even had this with me."

I totally get that Nurgle vibe too! kind of a natural acceptance that feels so right for them but is totally abhorrent to anyone else the big guy is harder to convey that with since any major conversion would be a big undertaking for me but hopefully I can still make him look acceptable I slightly changed his head boil again and think this will work now.

and I have some more on my AoP board it's taking much better shape now, still a long way off until October but I want to make sure it's done! this is the first layer of the board, so it's the sub structure where the dirt and pipes are, i'll be putting broken slabs and masonry over the top





and here's the little update on the big guy,




And a little project i'm working on




I'm making a Honda S2000 model kit and adding myself and Nerdwench in the car! as well as a pressie for one of my best mates who I haven't seen for a long time, he built an old Toyota Hilux into a bright orange Mini Truck and so i'm making a replica of his old car for him

Nurgly bits are looking great, and Nerdy Sculpting?

You and Nerdwench are looking nice and trim and dashing there, real cars are fun.

Loving the aop board.

Thanks Whaley, I've got to up my game to make sure I place this year as there's a heap more entries that are going to be there! I'm trying to find something thick enough to make concrete slabs from but still light and manageable? hopefully some foam board will fall into my lap! and then I need to paint another Tac squad, an assault squad, finish my Sternguard and do some terminators to actually put on the board lol! good times.

Nice job on the board. Going somewhere good.

Interested to see where the car self portrait goes too.

The car self portrait is just a bit of fun :-) i picked the driver models up for nothing and thought i'd have some fun with making myself and nerdwench cruising in an S2000. might make her want to buy me one for reals?

lol
"Look at how good we look in this car, you know you want one..."

What scale is the model at?

Chill out hondaboy. Maybe she will get you an adult car instead.

I like the little cone head on the big demon. He needs a bag of eggs and beer now
