My 40K Death Guard – Nurgle soup – NobodyToPlayWith Vectorium, army update.

Not that I know how to play, anyways… But I have been collecting and painting “as if”, lately. Finishing the Nurgle Knight for the ongoing “Jewel of July” community challenge by Azazel, totally motivated me to get the minis out of the shelf and make them march for a group picture. It… stands out. Another…

A little update. Some little touches of paint, and some brain actually used to apply sand pigments this time. I used matt medium, and then, dusted the pigment over.

Fleshy abundance… I got to work a bit more into the soft areas, adding BFTBG, and CARROBURG CRIMSON into the recesses. The wooden post for the banners on the back, was showing some nice and naturalist gradients, so I tried to just filter it somewhat using CHESTNUT. The stubbers under the shoulders were weathered with…

So today, I checked that all the tubing was based… and had barely missed one or two. I then used alcohol with confidence to clean the inevitable (in my case) splotchy messes I had done here and there. Knowing that I can strip paint locally, and by layers (if careful) it’s amazing! I then washed…
