Nephew's Christmas Present Nurgle Termie Chaos Lord

Hi Guys,

I though I'd post this now as I will probably wrap it soon. I only have the eyes on the three 'shoulder heads' to do and then it is finished. It looks very messy this close up - but step back from the screen and I think it looks ok. Quite pleased with the mixed rust effects. He's a Nurgle chaos lord, which I started for my Nephews birthday in the Summer but never finished (I bought him a Daemon Prince instead), so I thought I'd complete it for Christmas...

Anyway comments welcome...






Cheers Laney

Old School Power Claw... One Finger Salute to the Corpse Emperor! X-Mas present... hhehe... how ironic. We all are going to end up in The Warp!

Love the verdigris effect... right on the money! Like always, you went the extra mile with the little details.


Thanks for sharing.

So leading your Nephew down the Paths of Damnation for Christmas...at least he's going in style. VERY NICELY DONE, GROSS & DISGUSTING Chaos Lad!

Very impressive.

Nothing says Christmas like puss and pestilence:)

I'm going to brighten up some of the orange tones on the model - having looked at some superior Nurgle lords on the internet - and take some natural light pictures (so all the blemishes in the paintwork are hidden!).

hehehe... put a mistletoe!




... or should I say 'Missile-Toe'?


I know... more Orkish than Nurgle... but that is how I roll!!!

woah your nephew is lucky indeed

A few pics of the absolutely finished chaos lord - I've brightened the orange effects - they look better without the flash

WWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!

So much GREAT stuff to see! How you did the rust effect? IT looks like 'powder'... amazing! A ghastly master piece!!!

Wow. Truly nauseating (that's a compliment)! You've done wonderful things with the pallid flesh and weathering. Well done!

Looks pleasantly disgusting.

A WONDERFULLY UNSAVORY CHARACTER! He's straight out of the E.P.A.'s WORST Nightmare.

Your nephew is a lucky guy. This is an awesome model which captures one aspect of Nurgle very faithfully without going overboard and becoming a catastrophic mess (of which there are many examples in the world). Painting Nurgle doesn't mean you can afford to paint badly 'because its Nurgle'. This model is a good example of how an excellent painter can make a model look sloppy and dirty without being sloppy and dirty.

I might have to steal some painting techniques for my Chaos Cultists, if you don't mind.

I agree and am also curious to the rust effect.

No problem... Rust effects recipe:

Black undercoat
Chainmail basecoat
Heavy washes with devlan mud and gryphonne sepia

Then the rust effect...
Stipple (about as much paint as a drybrush) with vermin brown on the areas you want rusty (repeat if needed)
Stipple as before with blazing orange (towards the centre of the vermin brown regions).

Job done (experiment with these stages - its what I did ).

Other things that might be useful are Humbrol Acrylic Rust and weathering powders (I want to try some of these - anyone used them before).

Cheers Laney

Thanks for the recipe!
I still want to try out those MIG pigments, anyone got experience with those?

Whenever you are doing rust, remember our pathetic begging!

I'll see what I can do for the trash kan - when it gets a paint job.
