Myphitic Blight-Haulers

The arms race continues...... This time, Uncle Nurgle sends forth a trio of adorable and cuddly lil' Daemons: Myphitic Blight-Haulers, a.k.a. Stinky Puppies! Just look at their faces - they seem genuinely happy to see you, and they really want to play! Just be careful or they may leave a smelly surprise in your shoes, or accidentally turn your platoon into goo with their melta-cannon. Here boy! Go get the Astartes! Sick 'em! Gooood boyyyy!

Continuing the overall color scheme of this Death Guard warband, it is tempting to go overboard on the weathering and pestilence effects. But with the white background, less is more - the effects that are there really stand out. The overall ink wash color is something I dub "garbage juice" - parts black, brown, green and yellow ink. Yellow ink is the secret weapon - try some out, a little goes a long way on the final product.

Nurgle Pox Walkers — Highlights, Details & Weathering


J's been continuing the work on the Nurgle Pox Walkers.  This time around, he's added some highlights, details, and other subtle effects, but assures me that — even though they already look better than tabletop ready — he's still not done!  There's some nice weather on the weapons, and details picked out enough that these look good at three inches away, let alone three feet! 

Check out the progress below, and as usual, feel free to ask if you have questions or comments.

Nurgle Pox Walkers


Here's a little preview of something J's been working on in the studio.  Apparently, his friend has quite the big Nurgle army that needs painting. This time around, the focus is on the base colors, and then using different colored inks/washes, to bring out the true colors of Nurgle.  

All paints were Vallejo and Games Workshop/Citadel, with the latter representing the majority of the washes. The base effects were achieved simply with the Vallejo sticky textures, specifically "Black Lava" from the jug.

I hope to post more soon — next stages will be toning down the glossiness with some matte coat, and then the highlights and details will be painted.

Enjoy, and as usual, feel free to comment if you have any questions or comments.
