Chaos Daemons - Daemons of Nurgle - 40k Additions

Hi All,

So the final 'Daemons Additions' for now, showing my completed additions to the Dameon army in the form of Nurgle units.

Great Unclean One

For this model I opted for the fail/sword combo. The model was based with Death Guard green, with dark angel green added to the parts that would be in shadows, then a highlight of an old goblin green colour, followed  with a wash with green/agrax to build up the colour. The boils were picked out with a deep yellow, and all the open wounds were painted similar to sights I've seen in operating theatres, with the opening of the wound having red outer colour, with a deep yellow for the 'fat'. The deeper recesses of the wounds were painted with a richer red, and had blood for the blood god added to add a shine to it. The intestines were painted purple to stand out. I then added Nurgle Rot into folds, and over certain parts of the model to add further details to the model.

Rotigus

Rotigus was painted similarly to the Great Unclean One, however this was over a Zandri Dust base to alter the hue of the model. The tentacles were painted going from purple to a pink tip. I also added some bright green to the 'force rod' to try to make the rod pop.  

Scabeiathrax the Bloated

Again I kept a similar scheme to the first GUO to keep the units looking like a force, I swapped the washes around so that the green went over the Agrax. The sword details were picked out with A rust dry brush which was strippled onto the sword to mimic rust. Typhus Corrosion was also added to add further detail to the sword.

Cor'bax Utterbright

For the Cor'bax model I moved away from Greens to make the model stand out, using a Zandri dust base, washed up with Agrax. The tentacles were painted to match the tongue in a deep purple to match the other units. Plenty of Nurgle Rot was used on this model!

Mamon Transfigured

I redid the initial scheme over Mamon to fit with the other models, further washes of Green and Agrax was added, as well as Nurgle Rot. The wounds were also picked out like the GUO.

Nurglings

9 Bases of Nurglings, all painted as per the Great Unclean one, with details added to stand out such as the wounds, tongues and eyes. I really like the overall look of all 9 together, that they all tie in, but also would look good as a single model.

Giant Chaos Spawn

This conversation used the 'watcher from the Deep' model (Which I loved the moment I saw it) as a Giant Spawn, pulling its weight over a down Imperial Knight, (Which might be of a similar colour to Siph's..) The model again was painted a similar scheme as the GUO, with the knight painted Blue, with plenty of browns around the edge to represent mud and dirt.

Hope you like the Disgustingly Resilient amounts of Nurgle reinforcements...

Cheers, Lord Halfpenny (64 points to the annual painting total)

WIP Nurgle Great Unclean One, Rotigus and Cor'bax Utterblight

Hello! thanks for stopping by,

I'm having a week off the Reaver, and decided to make a dent in my Daemon force 'to do pile'. I needed some 'bigger guys' for the upcoming battle at WHW with a Chaos vs Imperial battle planned at Warhammer World.

First up, a Great Unclean one - this is one of my favourite models, with links to the original model, just a lot bigger!

After an undercoat of Death Guard, I then dry brushed Scorpion Green over the model, and used Dark Angels Green to add shadows. I then gave the model a couple of washes with Agrax and Biel-Tann to add definition to the dry brush.The wounds were painted with a bugman glow, edged with Wazdakka red. Averland sunset was used to the very edge of the wounds to show the fat layer. Boils were also picked out with the same colour. Happy with the progress so far.

Rotigus had a similar paint scheme as the GUO, but over a Zandri Dust base, and highlighted with Flayed One. The wounds are painted the same as the GUO also. The tentacles over both models will be painted the same to tie together.

Cor'bax is simply a Zandri base, with sepia wash, and then I will detail the model - I was keen to avoid 'green' as it could make him look like a GUO, rather than a daemon prince.

Thanks for looking! Cheers, Lord Halfpenny.

WIP- Nurgle stuff

Hi all,

Just a very quick update post on some Nurgle goodies I've been working on..

Plague Toads..

Each one has had a few washes over the death guard green- I'm toying with repainting the 'slimer' toad the same colour to match the other 2, I really like the way they look. I will be adding a further wash of Nurgle Rot to had a hint of slime to the models, then details..

Giant Spawn

I've always liked the model for the Lord of the Rings Watcher of the Deep, I think it might be because of my fascination with Octopus and Squid, so the plan was done to build one as a giant spawn I'm looking at options for basing him so that it feels 40k- at the moment he is on a spare FW carapace piece that was miscast, which I had replaced. Although I've also looked at options for a rhino, or building.

Cor'bax Utterblight, Daemon Prince of the Ruinstorm

Then the new addition, Cor'bax, Who now has rules for 40k- and the moment I saw these I had to get the model, I've always liked the look of it- it oozes 'Nurgle' and I think he'll be a nice centrepiece to my Nurlge daemon horde.

Thanks for stopping by! LH
