Pestilence

I've always loved the armies of Nurgle. I think they provide more freedom than any of the other chaos gods and they are an inspirational relief to any painter


That is why on early 2016 I started painting really old metal model I had bought once and never started painting. I did that listening to the new age of Sigmar audio books, which are basically Khorne and Nurgle, so I was able to keep inspired.


The idea was to play a little with greens and browns. My style is really clean so I tried to start making things dirtier in preparation for the Flames of War dirty vehicles I was already planning for.


I had experience with my zombies but the final result was too white and I wanted to stick to the nauseating green.

I also bought pestilence bases from Escenorama, a really nice company I've bought from before with good results. The thematic is good but the quality can be improved, specially regarding those annoying bubbles you can find in the ceramic.


Models themselves are just awesome. The very example of the way Games Workshop used to make miniatures: slender and adult, not like the bulky 'action miniature' they make nowadays.


I am quite happy with the final result for they look great and were painting in relatively short time, so a win-win for me.


One day, when the Nurgle fever comes back, I will finish the remaining 4 miniatures of the squad set. Until then...embrace the Grandfather!
