from PaulO'G: Nurgle Blood Bowl team (2 points)

 This is one of those WIP projects that wasn't quite done when the challenge period started, but I had a lot of fun finishing them. Reilly has another team in a similar position - our painting rate was slowed because we were too busy playing with them on the pitch most days, so not an entirely vexing situation :-)

These are GW figures which the Lad bought for me for Father's day...last year, so its great to give them some attention with us enjoying the new edition of Blood Bowl.  I went with a non-green Nurgle look and doing all the washes and glazes on the pustules was fun (I even got to use my 1980-something tentacle pink paint at last!). I also enjoying playing the GW Oxide technical paint to get the verdigris look on the armour.


So the only actual models started and finished during AHPC are in fact the 2 balls, which are disgusting Nurling beast creatures (and have funny rules for them also).  And thus I claim just two points for this submission.
Recently watched Peaky Blinders, thus the "Red Right Hand" on the team captain

  8. Paul these are fantastic! I love that sickly skin tone, it's truly gross in the best kind of way.

    1. Thanks Paul - yes, a bit of an experiment which should be useful for wider application
