I'm just looking for feedback on my paint and modelling. All the models have been oil washed and I'm not sure if to start details or apply highlight first?

Absolutely gorgeous models!

The level of detail is mouth-watering, great conversion work!

How far are you in the painting process? I like the earthly tones on some of the models, very nurgle-like.

Sick, in every sense of the word!

I especially like 'Oh look, I've got maggots falling out of my shoulder'.

Thanks!

The painting was an adaptation of Lorenzman's gorgeous pre-heresy death guard. I base coated the models with chaos black and then they had a white spray from above to show where the light would hit. Then They had a proper basecoat of a mid tone brown. Next, using an airbrush, I tried a zenithal lighting effect by adding rakarth flesh into the brown and spraying at a 45degree angle. Finally pure skull white was sprayed from directly above. I then painted the shoulder pads and right knee pads with an olive green. Then I sealed the models with satin varnish (might use gloss in future) and applied a burnt umber oil wash. I've then cleaned up a little with cotton buds dipped in white spirit and that's where I am now.

So next... do I do more wash / more cleanup or is it time to seal the oil wash and then move on to details or perhaps another rakarth highlight?

Sick, in every sense of the word!

Thanks, Unfortunately the maggots were not my own sculpt. Some of the stuff is, especially on the legs.

You know, it might be a good idea to post some green stuff stage WIP pics of the next models you sculpt additions to, I certainly have a hard time distinguishing the original model from your sculpted addons. Partly to show off and partly because it'd probably be helpful to those learning to sculpt Nurgly bits.

If I'm honest I'd go with another Rakarth highlight purely on the basis that it'll make them more obviously Death Guard, at the moment the brown look is awesome but it doesn't yet scream 'Mortarion's sons' to me. Speaking of Rakarth, any idea if it correlates well to Dheneb Stone?

This is a nitpick though - they look great as is, I'm starting to wonder if maybe the green should be a bit stronger? Can't wait to see the first finished one at any rate. Are you going with a wasteland colour for the base or will it be urban?

They look great, they make me feel unwell just looking at them :)

Get me to the Apothecarion.
