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.
