Brother Clavero Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I've decided to combine my two favorite chaos themes: Iron Warriors and Nurgle (plague marines). I've never seen this done before and would like some suggestions on how to paint plague marines that keeps some of their Iron Warrior identity. I don't want to just throw some green wash on Boltgun Metal painted minis! If it was you, how would you accomplish this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex567 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'd go for something really rusty and decaying metal, so steer away from green and towards orange and browns. Maybe pustules and things cracking through the rusted segments, and oozing liquids and the sort. I think that'd look real "nice", or should I say disgusting for nurgle?

Brother Clavero Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks for the reply alex567! That does sound like a good color combo. I'll probably "rough em up" with my dremel tool some too for that corroded look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kythnos Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 For some inspiration, these are my Iron Warriors Plague Marines: They are marines that are subject to mutations more often and replace them with bionics instead (though they will neber be able to win this fight). The remnants of their mutations are brewed into deadly poisons that they put on their weapons to give their enemies a similar fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Clavero Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Cool pics!! And thanks! I have a good direction to go in now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyl- Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I have also seen people use shields.. I believe Forgeworld models with siege shields in particular or WHFB warriors of chaos shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Are they actually going to be IW that worship Nurgle, or IW that use PM rules? If the former: What happens to Iron when it decays? Paint them entirely in Ryza Rust ;) If the latter, bionics and shields are good ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
