Make sure you use some Ushabti Bone and Blood for the Blood God. They'll be fantastic for the little maggots that are running around. Apply a bit of Blood for the Blood God over the buboes and sores after you've washed with Athonian and then cleaned it up a bit with some Rakarth Flesh and you'll get a neat effect too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9884527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9884527.page GMT Re:My first models in 4 years, poxwalkers!
My vote from what I could see would be for the grey ones. Anyway, clearly your skills have been retained over the past 4 years. Well done! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9885042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9885042.page GMT Re:My first models in 4 years, poxwalkers! this is an unattainable league for me.

The white's actually my favourite, the yellowy brown of the sores stands out against it nicely.

Would love to see more of the grey/green ones. White on those minis looks a bit bland/undone to me. Maybe if you spotted on slightly darker wash into those more recessed areas.

Thanks bud the middle ones actually a pale yellow, the spots on him are like a sickly greenish yellow, Its the photos that make it seem washed out :/ Someone recommended doing squads with different skin tones to differentiate from units, which I like the idea of! Think I'll do 20 Brown, 20 Yellow, and the rest will be green (green can be my "resurrected" ones from killing infantry)

I'm partial to the greenish tinted ones. I used Athonian Camoshade; but that's because I batch-painted the Poxwalkers from a Dark Imperium set using it over a Corax White primer coat.

I used Rotted Flesh (or whatever its called) for the bone spikes, and actually washed all the maggots with purple. I do like the ideas you put out, Rakarth Flesh, is that a GW wash?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9885140.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9885140.page GMT My first models in 4 years, poxwalkers! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9885189.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9885189.page GMT My first models in 4 years, poxwalkers!

Rakarth Flesh is part of the "new" GW(relatively--it's way after Rotted Flesh, if you're still using the old screwtop paints) paint range. It's a base paint(higher pigment amount) that is commonly used by GW to do pale flesh.

Have you checked out GW's Paint App? You absolutely should if you haven't.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9885683.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9885683.page GMT My first models in 4 years, poxwalkers!

Looking good to me. The new Nurgle guys all have loads of little details you can spend ages embellishing but you've got a nice tabletop ready finish to them already. I always say I'm going to paint a batch of models quick and easy, and then find myself going back over them again and again...


This is true, when I painted models before, I did paint EACH. INDIVIDUAL. PIECE. And sometimes the results weren't very cohesive... I'm not a pro-painter by any means, but I definitely agree quick painting does have good results!

Downloaded it... where has this been my whole life?! So buying some of these paints, haha. I also got the recommendation to buy Tamiyra Gloss in red/green for ooze and blood, which I'm gonna do as well!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9887309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9887309.page GMT My first models in 4 years, poxwalkers!
Waywatcher Green glaze can be used for ooze and Blood for the Blood God is pretty great. I'll have to see if I can get some pictures of the ones I painted sooner or later.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9887422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9887422.page GMT My first models in 4 years, poxwalkers!

Too late, just pushed the purchase button on Amazon haha! Thanks for the tips I'll definitely look into some of the stuff you suggested!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9887460.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9887460.page GMT Re:My first models in 4 years, poxwalkers!
If this is a speed painting job, though, they look really good for what they are supposed to be! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9887471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753101/9887471.page GMT
