Nice! The Green Skin is awesome in a horrid looking way!

On a random note, where did you get those massive metal horns from on the JibberJabber?

Those horns are from the old dark elves dragon mate

Army shot - The children of Nurgle





WiP still left to paint / finish (not pictured 24 trolls - what the hell was I thinking - lol)

Awesome thanks.

Bradford, small world! Same here.

Jebus.......

That looks awesome dude. Maybe one day I'll get my Khorne done and give you a bashing at a Meet some time.

 

[Kaleb Daark]

what Borak said!!

That looks absolutely superb. The best thing about this is the difference to Dee's, where he's gone for the whole pustulous seeping wounds thing and yours is all necrotic and rotting. Both of you have done awesome work in avoiding the 'just paint everything green' trap, and you've both succeeded so well in achieving your individual 'feel'

I like the feel of your stuff, it's how I see nurgle, all trolls and gribbly stuff, more monstrous than human. Makes me want to start one now... but the blood god would have my nuts for earrings and besides I need to get my stuff done before the end times (aka Dee starting khorne!)

Thanks! I want to bring some smack talk right now, but honestly I reckon you would, hahaha. I am gonna be heading over to Warhammer world fairly regularly soon, maybe we will actually get a game in if you frequent. Would be awesome to see some of that freehand work in person! :laugh:

LOL.. I can't wait to see what he does. Honestly the best thing is my army being mentioned in the same paragraph as Dee, his work really is bada$$.

When I started I swore I've avoid green armour, but the army still ended up full of green

 

[Wintertooth]

... And on the note of avoiding green armour

I'm trying something new for my tomb king army and though I'd give to a test run on here. I quite like it. Plan to have some rust and exposed metal too.

 

[Commisarlestat]

That's some really good colour transition. Have you used German field grey in there I use it a lot to add versatility to green shading.
Looking forward to seeing more.

[Wintertooth]

Thanks commissarlestat - yeah I used grey in the blending, it makes it easier to transition like you say.

What I'm working on at the moment. Very basic green stuff skills, but everyone starts somewhere.

 

[Kaleb Daark]

exceptional work WT, and I really like your cracked panel texture on the chariot bodies.

Thankfully you're using plague drones instead of painting juggers green with puss boils on them! - coockage du rep for ya

THe chariots look really good, can't wait to see the drone knights painted up

Thanks mate, yeah was pretty pleased with the chariots, stubbled on the method by accident and couldn't believe when it actually worked

Yeah couldn't bring myself to use the juggers, felt wrong. I've seen it done once, using a similar cracked metal technique as above, but I bought the drones immediately on release (Nurgle frenzy purchase!), so had to use em.

Three done, not sure they're 100%, but will look with fresh eyes when I get back home this arvo.

how did you do it?

 

[danjones87]

Dear god those chariots look awesome.

Nice work on the jugger/plague chaps.

More more more!

[Wintertooth]

how did you do it?

_____________________________________________________________
THE ARMOUR: it's a freehand paint job. Colors I used for the armour are:
black primer with white thin layers of white primer over it just to enphasize the bright part of the mini since colors tend to be brighter with the white primer

base color: goblin green 100% (about 60% water)

shades 1: goblin green 50% + sotek green 25% + scorched brown 25% (90% water) at least 3 layers

shades 2: scorched brown 50% + chaos black 25% + xerces purple 25% (liche purple?) (90% water) at least 2 layers

final shades: chaos black 100% (90% water) 1 or 2 layers should be enough

lights 1: 50% goblin green + 50% ushabti bone (about 75% water)
lights 2: 100% ushabti bone (about 75% water)

Once I've done that I painted thin black lines (with pure chaos black) to simulate the cracked effect. Just do it as much as you like, when you're satisfied with the "drawing" move to the lights/shades part.

Once again you have to highlight and darken every single cracked piece of armour in my case I used:

lights: 100% bleached bone (75% water)
shades: 50% chaos black + 50% scorched brown (75% water)

Not my guidelines, they're from a great painter over on COTEC, followed to the letter aside from the primer work.

 

[Wintertooth]

Dear god those chariots look awesome.

Nice work on the jugger/plague chaps.

Dan

Thanks Dan! Always good to hear. I shat on one of them trying to highlight with silver, gonna have to go back and do a little repair work. The gorebeasts pulling em have been undercoated and are waiting on the painting desk for starting. They'll hopefully be done soon.

 

[Wintertooth]

I've had a busy couple of weeks, but have managed to do a little painting. Here is the start of Tamurkhan the maggot lord's rotting ogre Tyrant body - Karak Breakmountain.

 

[Wintertooth]

Running an eight chariot 1500 point list tomorrow. Hoping they do okay, here's a pic of my core (crappy pic and the wolf steeds need some serious attention).

 

[Wintertooth]

Okay so I'm in the process of buying a house so updates are really slow as I'm so damn busy. Painting is pretty much at a halt, but I can cut and glue plastic when I get a bit of spare time.

Anyway I did manage to build up some fast cav. They're unbloodied so I'm not sure how they'll do in combat - considering they're not the mark of slaanesh so will run at the first whiff of danger :curse:

 

[Lord Borak]

Looking cool dude!! The mutated arm is looking pretty sweet. How did your 8 chariot game go?

 

[Wintertooth]

Longest time between responses... The game went well, the chariots were a fun killer.

Didn't realise I'd been away so long... Life really gets away from ya.


Theme change - Garden of nurgle - rebasing everything.

Logging the last leg of my Nurgle army (restarted to finish before out little pink Nurgling arrives in September)

Finally get round to starting a unit of Knights Borak... Those ones I bought from you about two years ago. Hahaha
