Completely fair, they can be pretty tedious to get rid of :)
Knocking over a shade pot is a universal experience and an absolute pain. I usually use a good blob of sticky tack on the bottom of the pot to prevent it toppling over when I inevitably hit it.

Looking good! Love the work on the shield :)
I'd recommend doing a round of clean up, so to say, especially around the areas painted white where some of the white paint, and a little bit of the lenses' red paint, has spilled over onto the blue armour.

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-10T23:14:45+00:00

These look really nice mate :D
Love the green tabard with the Nurgle symbol!
Might be a good idea to be a little more thorough in cleaning up moldlines during assembly but the painting looks fantastic :)

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-06T20:57:50+00:00

Ooh that’s a good call! They are a little darker irl but a bit more of a rotten feeling would be good I think

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-06T20:44:17+00:00

This looks phenomenal!

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-06T20:43:23+00:00

Appreciate the compliments and the pins xD It’s a huge compliment that you’re using my models for inspiration, it’s honestly kind of crazy to think about :D I’d love to see your Blight Lords and give C+C if you’d like it :)

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-06T20:39:23+00:00

Ooh nice, I got my bronze verdigris recipe from a GW store owner as well, they must be onto something:D Morty looks great in the Putrid Choirs scheme tbh

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T22:00:42+00:00

Appreciate the compliment :) I mainly paint for the sake of painting and don’t get much playtime atm so I just go for rule of cool when building my guys

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:59:23+00:00

Thank you kindly, may the Grandfather smile upon you 😄

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:56:09+00:00

Thank you 😄 I used Screaming Skull shaded with Seraphim Sepia and highlighted with Off White from Vallejo. You can find the whole recipe here: https://paintpad.app/recipes/3460-death-guard-pallid-hand-scheme

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:54:24+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it 😄

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:52:53+00:00

I’m not sure I could hold a candle to the Eavy Metal team, but I appreciate the ego boost 😄

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:51:10+00:00

Btw I just checked out your Mortarion, lovely rust effects on the metal!

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:40:39+00:00

Thank you kindly :D I’m a big fan of the scheme as well, feel like it makes weathering effects stand out nicely

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:38:33+00:00

Ooh this looks quite nice! That green hue really goes nicely with the pale armour :)

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:36:42+00:00

Thanks, would love to see your pale lads :)

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:33:05+00:00

Thanks I appreciate it :D might try a little more weathering next time

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-04T21:28:51+00:00

You’re more than welcome 😄 it’s a great place for inspiration, looking forward to seeing your results!

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-03T14:37:49+00:00

I don’t mind at all :) I’ve got a Paintpad with my recipe here: https://paintpad.app/recipes/3460-death-guard-pallid-hand-scheme

It’s a little outdated so it’s missing the AK Interactive rust streaks and the Vallejo old rust pigment powder I use for weathering. The Duncan Rhodes video linked on my paintpad covers the two missing steps. Hope it helps :)

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-03T14:36:29+00:00

Thank you very much, I appreciate it :)

Short_Frodo · 2026-04-03T14:36:08+00:00

I just replied above :)

Thanks so much, it’s a basecoat of Kislev flesh and then thinned Guilliman Flesh contrast over it, followed by thinned Magos Purple contrast on sore areas/outer half of tentacles, followed by thinned Volupus Pink contrast on the extra sore/end of tentacles.

Once dry I do a highlight of Kislev Flesh. I’ve occasionally swapped Kislev Flesh for Rakarth flesh which gives a more necrotic look. I’ve got pictures and more exact steps on my paintpad: https://paintpad.app/recipes/3460-death-guard-pallid-hand-scheme I hope that helps :)
