Nurgle painting styles

[1Drop]

So what is your nurgle painting technique, first of all for plague marines!? I bought all of the suitable nasty greens I want to use and I'm thinking of for the armour...

 

Chaos black spray undercoat

Base with gretchin green

Wash with devlan mud

Dry brush with catachan green

Wash with thraka green

Dry brush with camo green

Dry brush with rotting flesh

Dry brush very lightly with bleached bone

 

For the metal...

Base with tin bitz

Dry brush with boltgun metal

 

The lenses

 

Paint chaos black with a little bit of codex grey maybe

 

 

Now this hasn't been tested yet, another method but for my DP I'll be basing with knarlock green instead of gretchin.

 

So let me know what you do yours with, also what is your recipe for the plague bearers?

 

Another thing I'm wondering about is I sculpt alot of busted stomachs on my plague marines and I'm wondering what colours to do the guts the inside of the stomach!? Also all of the tumerous rot I sculpt, I'm thinking using the same technique as I use for my nurgle daemons flesh (when I work out what that is!)

Or not.....

That sure is a lot of dry brushing. After about 3 coats of dry brushing, the model starts looking dusty. If you are going for a nasty green, I suggest a base of Gretchin followed by dry brushing Rotting Flesh over that. Then a wash of Gryphonne Sepia, then a wash of Devlan Mud. This is a simple method mainly for cranking out models fast while still being really cool looking.

My scheme is quite different, in that it's white armor, but here it is [all colors are Vallejo]:

Armor:

White Prime

Model Color - Offwhite

heavy Black wash

an intentionally streaky, not-quite-drybrushed layer of Offwhite again

Metal Trim:

Gunmetal

Chainmail

Plata Silver

... and then rusted with Beasty Brown followed by Parasite Brown

Gooey Highlights:

A mixed, very dark green

Dead Flesh

And here's a pic:

An interesting topic idea :blink:

My army is a dirty grey nurgle army.

Armour = Black Undercoat (Obviously)

Codex Grey - then wash with Catchan Green and Chardon Granite

Several layers of Codex Grey and Space Wolves Grey getting progressively lighter

Heavy Washes of Badab Black, Devlan Mud

Controlled Washes of Orange, Lighter Browns and Greens

Metal = Boltgun Metal

Brown + Black Washes

Flesh = Method in WD 369

I can post pictures later if anyone's interested....

Mine is fairly easy

 

Black basecoat

Basecoat Dheneb stone

Bleached bone

Bleached bone/rotting flesh

wash of devlan mud

 

Metal bits

Brown/red mix

Brown/Red/yellow

 

and then highlights taa daa!

Not mine but it works very well. I used it on the FW Death Guard models. Get lots of complements. I like the purple wash in the mix adds very cool effects under light.

Here's my favourite style

[Gubnutz Da Grim]

I use the following method.

 

Prime Green

Drybrush with Camo Green

DB with Rotting flesh

Pick out pipes and maggots, nurglings with Elf Flesh

Sores with red gore and Liche purple

Metals are boltgun with rust added using dark flesh and blazing orange

Wash with Green. followed by Devlan followed by Sepia after each preceding wash has dried.

 

Base and here you go. Not the best but TT and gets them ready to scrap ASAP.

Some good ideas in here for sure. I tend to change the style from squad to squad, while keeping most of the highlights and details in a similar colour to maintain coherency in the army.

 

Most of them are:

Chaos Black undercoat

Patched base of Goblin Green and Snakebite Leather

Slightly thinned Rotting Flesh over that (thick enough for coverage, thin enough to show the base through it)

Drybrush in patches of Catachan Green

Dark brown wash (Devlan Mud would work, I usually just mix my own)

 

Trim is simply Boltgun Metal with Mithril highlights, covered in the same Mud wash

 

Details in Red Gore/Blood Red (around holes in armor, blood trails, MoN sores on shoulders, etc) and Liche Purple toned down with either a shade of brown or black for bruising).

Raised parts lightly drybrushed in Rotting Flesh if the detail is too stark compared to the rest of the model.

 

Eyes and lenses are Skull White, with a thin crescent of grey at the bottom for depth.

 

Overall an easy way to get them tabletop ready and dirty looking. Like the look of armour that's so far gone as to be almost like rotting skin.

Effect is the standard rotting flesh look, with slight variations in colour from green to brown. No pics of them around though, the army isn't currently with me :(
