Elmo dipping a toe into Nurgle's Rot

I started getting the Conquest magazine for the Primaris Marines but I could not resist having a go at some Death Guard... The models are a great example of the gifts of Grandfather Nurgle.




Here is the WIP on the first 2 Plague Marines and a Plague Marine Champion.

This is not planned as a new army in my collection but as a change from painting DA and Tau but who knows what may happen :wink:

I have another 3 in progress - unfortunately the same models but I will try an arm swap so as not to be too boring...

Tis a nice start!

 

What I like to do is add nurgle's rot technical paint to the bases around the feet. It adds nice depth and the feeling that the plague marine's very presence is destructive to the environment.

 

Maybe you could try something like that? I just feel that the bases are a bit too clean if you get me :)

Thanks for the generous comments :)

 

Still getting into the poxes and boils needed in Grandfathers garden - all the wonders and glorious eruptions of persistence...

 

May he forever fester :sick:

Foul Blightspawn and Myphitic Blight-hauler
Ignore the bits of grass with static cling to the Blight-hauler - it will fall off with time ;)
Noticed with the photos that the Blightspawn's and Little Lord's eyes need a bit more work - ho hum... old eyes :eek:

You are tempting me. I might be able to paint these. How are they to build? 

Go for it.

 

The models are easy build - pushfit type with minimal parts. From the Conquest magazine.
