Schoolbored Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hello guys/gals,I just recently got into the hobby of sculpting/painting. Due to the fact thatI am a long time lurker on this forum, I have seen many incredible CSM armies(specifically Nurgle), and as a result have recently begun to sculpt my ownarmy.However, I have no prior experience with any of these aspects (either paintingor sculpting), and as a result I have created this Plog to document my trialsas a beginner in this hobby. Due to the fact that I am in University and don'thave much time to play/create however, this log will take a long time tocomplete, and updates may be infrequent.Anyways, this is the first green-stuff covered mini I have created. I am tryingto go for a old/heavily infested Nurgle theme, but I am unsure as to how to progresswith a unified army scheme. Any comments are appreciated, and I apologize forthe slightly darkish pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oreaper84 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Welcome to a whole new world of the hobby. Your sculpts look very nice, good details. Couple of things that can go a long way in your sculpting. start collecting various tools, picks, scrapes, straws, anything small and pointy can help. The more tools you have the more unique patterns you can make. Also sculpt for the big picture, dont be afraid to let sculpts dry for firm support layers building a look over time can add demension and detail that is near impossible in one go. Finally, wetness is your friend in application and removal...esp with that sticky green stuff :) Look forward to some more corrupted sculpts!!

Nemac Vradon Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hi Schoolbored and welcome! As oreaper84 says just getting your hands on anything pointy is a real bonus when sculpting, I even use a set of tools for dismantling an iphone. That said, the mini you've done is really very good and looks the part when it comes to Nurgle. Very much wanting to see more! Nemac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemac Vradon Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Looking good mate. I would try positioning the head so he's following the direction that his gun is pointing, otherwise great stuff :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disease Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 This is definitely a solid start. There's a few GS tricks, like adding more yellow for softer clay. Some people mix GS with milliput although I haven't tried this yet. Supposedly allows for better detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
