Nurgle lord - More base coating

Hi there,

Did a bit more base coat work.  Mixed some green into the tin bitz base.  Probably not enough green but it's cool.  All good.

Another layer on the skin as well.  Happy so far :)

 

Nurgle Lord - basecoat

Evening,

work has finally started on my next model.

The Nurgle Lord... extremely popular model this - everyone seems to be painting it.

I have started with a basecoat of Gretchin green. 1:1 with water and doing a couple of layers. I am attempting to not make his skin green... Seems strange when my basecoat is green.

I do have a plan of sorts though.  As you see him below, the darkest areas are about as "greeny-dark" as he is going to get. I plan to highlight up through rotting flesh and bleached bone then use some red/purple/pink washes - just really thin ones - to pick things out.

I think this will be a trial and error job though and determined I am not going to allow it to turn into a time sink with millions of layers of colour.

He should end up being a very pallid rotting flesh colour with bruising around the skin and gory red details.

Probably going to go a more metallic - verdigris design rather than straight up green which some people do.  Like a scabby power armour.  I've always liked metallic paints.

A couple of pictures below. One of the basecoat in progress and the other is of my notes and colour choice.

I nearly went down the route of doing a much more human looking flesh but couldn't bring myself to do it.
