I painted a yellow Nurgle marine for the Challenge a few years ago- they're wonderfully ridiculously overdetailed, and quite draining to paint. But I enjoyed it, and a few more have landed in my pile of potential. Last year I painted a lot of zombies, and some had a more orange tint that I liked. So this is a new Nurgle lord that I'm using for 'Gluttony'. He's a cheerful chap, generously handing out Grandfather's gifts. I quite like the cartoony splashes of vibrant colours.
To get to this circle, I summoned these Ynfernael Hulks from the Descent boardgame. Over a white undercoat I painted the same orange as the marine (Army Painter Speed Paint 2.0 Zealot Yellow) and drybrushed them black then grey. I'm not quite satisfied with the eyes.
That's three big boys; each is on a 50mm base. I'm claiming 8 points each, and +20 for the Glutton.
3 x monsters 24 points
Gluttony +20 points
Can opener side duel +8
From Millsy:
The title of this post made me laugh out loud and for that you have my thanks Barks! If there's anything more appropriate for the Gluttony bonus then I have no idea what it is.
He's absolutely revolting and I love him, from the tip of his hideous pestilent horns to the tips of his disgusting pus filled boots. The saturated green really gives off a vibe of something clearly not right and the yellow armour is a great choice as it really works and I'm sure I've never seen yellow Death Guard before.
Chuck in a couple of creepy lava monsters and you're earned a tidy 44 points. Nice one mate!
Cheers,
Millsy
Nasty looking gribblies, but top notch painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sander!
DeleteGreat stuff
ReplyDeleteCheers, Matt!
DeleteWonderful use of colours
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard! I think you can either go grimy or colourful with Nurgle.
DeleteYikes, truly disease ridden. Excellent brush work.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Bruce!
DeleteA horribly gross if deliriously happy marine. Perfectly painted. I think the lava effect is quite good.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom! He's really grown on me (eww).
DeleteWell done Barks. I have to give you credit - I find pretty much every nurgle figure looks exactly the same, but your brushwork gives this fellow some fine character and a very entertaining look. Great job.
ReplyDeleteLess so than an army of Marines! But they are quite fun to paint.
DeleteI have the opposite concern- there's too many characters!
DeleteGreat work Barks. I really like the super-saturated colours of the NurgleBoi.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to do a few more, I hope they can look coherently colourful.
DeleteHe's a very colourful chap, that's what he is. Great brushwork!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray!
DeleteI like it that he is laughing! Great painted minis! 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter! As I said, he grew on me.
DeleteThat is so good Barks, amazing snot and a great face
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kerry!
DeleteExcellent. I’m sure he appears on those pimple popping videos
ReplyDeleteOh, certainly.
