Warriors of Nurgle, bits and bobs.

A bit of a scrappy selection of progress in this post I'm afraid as I  try to get more of the Warriors unit done.

Painting.

Warriors 6 & 7  painted, taking the unit to near half strength (including a Lord and Sorcerer). Whilst I like the effect doing the Warriors different shades of green it isn't very good at helping me get them painted.




The eagle eyed among you may have noticed the lack of Static Grass on the last few painted minis, this is because I now have the only internally flocked spaniel in Sussex. Little blighter has a thing about chewing plastic pots and bottles and somehow nabbed the flock off my table, GW seem to have stopped doing the really light sand coloured static grass so I'm on the hunt for a replacement.
Not so bad on this army as it's only just started, but very annoying if I can't get a match on my Tomb Kings..


Modelling.

Had real trouble thinking of designs for the last few shields, but doing the Fly head on the Sorcerer has helped a bit spawning a fly head shield (which is a good chance to practice the colours for the Sorcerers head),a 'maggot' shield and with so many mouths done already a 'other end' design.



Next up is 3 warriors that are the same colour (just how it's worked out) so I'll try and be a bit more 'batch painter' on those and speed myself up some, I'll probably end up doing bits on the Sorcerer in between as well. Also I have to finish off GSing up the Musicians horn, which is the last bit of modelling apart from the Lord ( which I don't even have yet).
The eventual plan is to do a couple more Warriors when I get another box to be able to swap out the characters as well.

Sorcerer all built

Sorcerer (again).

It is with some satisfaction I have finished converting up the Fly Head Sorcerer and base coated him up ready for painting.
The plan was to create a unique sorcerer to use as a scroll caddy ( he might get a promotion ) with a big nod to an old Nurgle Champion I always liked, you know the one, you've probably seen it for silly money on Ebay if you searched with either the words Nurgle or Chaos Champion.


Original inspiration from back in the day.


It's been a fun conversion, although waiting for all the fiddly bits of GS cure before I could do the next bit was a bit of a grind. I do however have a horrible feeling he will have to be handled with care during gaming and transporting or break.


Well you are all probably sick of the sight of him now, so I promise you wont have to see him again until he is fully painted and that won't be for a bit as I have set myself of doing a few basic Warriors before starting him.
