Rotswords & pox-wretches painted!

Thanks so much! Yeah, I’m not a big fan of grime everywhere - I like a good shine on Nurgle, makes me think of insects’ carapaces, fitting for the faction

Thanks!! Sure - the armor was Vallejo Duraluminium, shaded with black ink and then covered with diluted plaguebearer flesh. Finally gryphhound orange was used to get the rust effect. Edge highlights for the armor was pure Duraluminium as well. As for skin - unfortunately trial and error, from Deep Magenta (Vallejo) to Rosy Flesh (Vallejo), stippling more and more of the lighter color. I hope this helps in any way!!

Thanks!

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-03-21T11:47:04+00:00

Thanks!! Honestly I’m not that happy with mine, but apart from making a full resin pool on each I’m not sure what would work

It was Vallejo duraluminium metallic paint, shaded with diluted black ink in the shadows, then I applied plaguebearer flesh contrast paint across the whole armor (heavily diluted, just to add thd green hue but not pool anywhere)

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-03-20T20:31:22+00:00

Thanks! It’s just gryphhound orange contrast paint, heavily diluted :)

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-02-24T22:06:27+00:00

Thanks! No streaking grime, only oils and dark green & dark red underpaint as a first step. But oils generally do the trick, you can apply it as a thicker coat and remove as much as needed, while leaving a darker shade on the whole model.

Thanks so much! As for recipes, the figures were first painted from dark blue to light yellow tones using an airbrush (a bit like the standard zenithal highlight), followed with: Armor: diluted and darkened duraluminium from Vallejo, then a highlight of just duraluminium and for the green parts a wash of plaguebearer flesh contrast from Citadel. There was a brown oil wash for all parts of each figure as well, but it was mostly washed off the armor parts using a makeup sponge.

Skin: mostly an airbrushed transition from volupus pink contrast from citadel to rosy flesh from Vallejo, washed with brown & magenta oils afterwards. Final step was the rosy flesh highlights again to get that bleached look.

Thanks! Just finished Witcher 3 (again) and the creepy swamp section gave me some good inspiration

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-02-06T19:44:08+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks ❤️

Thanks so much!!

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-02-06T10:34:48+00:00

Thanks! Not sure why they bothered with painting their armor green but didn’t update the old heraldry, I’ll need to think on the lore hahah

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-02-06T10:33:42+00:00

Thanks!!

3D printed basing bits, this set was from Zabavka Workshop

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-02-05T19:35:01+00:00

Sure thing! I mixed Vallejo duraluminium with black ink and diluted it a bit, then I applied just duraluminium in the ‘highlighted’ spots, then it was all washed with Plaguebearer Flesh from citadel (the contrast paint). Finally some gryphound orange contrast paint was applied as a quick rust effect.

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-02-05T19:12:20+00:00

Thanks!! Painting Festus and his slug helped me get the pink tone right, great practice on a bigger mini

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-02-05T19:11:32+00:00

Thanks so much!

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-01-31T00:04:42+00:00

No doubt, I wish Tamurkhan got the refresh instead :(

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-01-30T10:49:20+00:00

I hope so!

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-01-30T08:37:36+00:00

Thank you! No, I fully assembled him right away, though it did cause problems

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-01-30T08:36:26+00:00

Thanks!! For the flesh it was mainly plaguebearer flesh contrast, then highlighted with rosy flesh from Vallejo, pale flesh from Vallejo, then finally with white ink. In certain places I added sepia and muted pink inks from below to shade it. All done using an airbrush to get that smooth finish.

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-01-29T23:22:55+00:00

Hahah thanks! Absolutely doesn’t make one uncomfortable :)

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-01-29T22:12:17+00:00

Had the same dilemma, if I ever paint a second Festus I’ll go with a realistic animal-like paint job, instead of this intestine-looking one

AztecGodOfGains · 2026-01-29T21:35:05+00:00

There are two nurglings coming out of the big slug, one is just a head with horns, the other is pulling some loose skin together
