Nurgle Champion Ozpainters painting workshop

Photobucket

Had a busy day today painting up the current Nurgle champion in the Sydney Ozpainters get together and painting workshop. Along with a nice BBQ lunch and going out for Japanese for dinner was a pretty good day.

He's an ugly brute of a figure so I had to think a bit how to paint him after quickly assembling him and giving him a white prime with an airbrush. For my version I started with a pale rotting green basecoat for the skin then shaded with more normal flesh tones and highlighted up to menoth white.

back to my one, I started doing deep shading first with brown then with scab red

then after all the skin was pretty done I painted the metal areas and underneath black then painted the armour folk art gunmetal then drybrushed chainmail

then rust, rust and more rust

I got the idea to use Tamiya clear red on his open wounds and to bloody up the axe, it really brightened up the figure a lot and shifted the tones into the reds quite a bit.

After dinner I drybrushed the base and called him done, just needed some Silfas grass on his base when I got home.
