My painting schedule for the year continues at a pace, and after the nice clean lines a Necron army, I’m back on more familiar ground with a brief diversion into the grime and filth covered realms of a Nurgle plague force.
In this case, I found a box of Age of Sigmar Putrid Blightkings. I think I bought these to use for conversions with my Warhammer 40k Death Guard, but never made use of them. We’re now playing a fair bit of One Page Rules: Age of Fantasy Skirmish, so these will form the core of a Plague warband for those games. Most likely I’ll pair them with my plague demons for a nice mixed force.
So, I glued these little fellows together, which was relatively painless for Games Workshop figures, and set to painting. The main colour blocks on these are for diseased flesh so I undercoated them with an off-white base. I used my mishmash of various washes to approximate the rotten skin.
I considered going with a rusted metal for the armour but decided instead to replicate the box art colour schemes, which are also very close to my Death Guard army. I did rust up the weapons though.
A couple of hours work and I’m happy with the results.
Clearly Nurgle’s rot hit the camera, and these photos aren’t the best quality for focus and crispness. I also noticed that although they look fine in person, the base rims look awful on camera. Not sure why but I may need to give them another coat.
Anyway, here’s the result.
 |
| The head on this cha seems a little small to me. In hindsight, I think I should have found a larger head for him. |
 |
| He'll make a good "wizard" figure i think. |
 |
| This figure has an odd retro sort of "single plane" pose reminiscent of old metal figures. Such poses were an artefact of metal casting. |
 |
| I like this one. He's super-iconic for Nurgle I think and the bloated leg is suitably icky! |
 |
| Ugh...blurred image. Its a decent enough shot of the corrupted flesh though, |
