I've started posting my hobby stuff on Instagram in late May 2022. Might still update some bigger pics here in blogspot at some point. But other than that it's full on Insta throttle for now. There's already a few new projects: Machine Cult Defilers army for the Onepagerules Grimadark Future setting, as well as a huge Tzeentch army for Warhammer AoS / 40k.
Take care, and hopefully meet you at Instagram!

Phew... been a while since the last post. Finished painting these fellows already several weeks ago. Just took some time to take and edit the pics. I've also done a few actual paintings this spring, and been busy working my day job. I also started scratch building yet another army (Dark Mechanicus, or actually they're Machine Cult Defilers for the awesome Grimdark Future system by One Page Rules which I TOTALLY RECOMMEND). Anyways, here are the happily rotting troops of Nurgle.
Got some colours on them Plaguebearers. I've heard quite a few times how it's always a good idea to paint a test model with the intended scheme before committing fully to painting an army with it. Well, I just started my run with 40 test models. Wet blended in 3 different washes / contrast paints in every group of 10. In hindsight I definitely like the ones with cyan-magenta-dark blue base colours the most. Maybe should have painted every unit like that? Or maybe not. It's nice to have variation. And when things don't go exactly right in the beginning, it's always possible to do changes later. So I continued with painting just one unit first to see how it goes.
I had an idea of how I wanted these Plaguebearers to look. Necrotic, mouldy, rotten and algid flesh. Autumnal yellows and oranges. Feint blue greys and dirty magenta. Not the regular set of greens that Nurgle models sometimes get painted with. Grey unrecognizable bases, that could be organic, stone or even demonic? And I wanted to have fun and relaxed time painting, so went for lots of careless washes and drybrushes, because that's what I like doing the most. Only did a few important details with more care (like the banner, some pimples, nails and eyes).
I also added some flabby layers of skin and other details on the Great Unclean One.
