Out of curiousity will you be adding more to the base? It looks great but there is some prime real estate to be used that can bask in Lord Mortarions shadow. 

I plan to add some water-effect to the green parts of the base, aswell as the nurglings. Other than that, "normal" Death Guard basing is planned :)

The Nurgle-Drone-Cherub-Cabbage Patch kid is looking good. For a creepy, one eyed bug. Mortarion is also coming along splendidly. His colors are looking great!

Technically a cherub is a hybrid of a man with either a lion or a bull sometimes with wings (the etymologically related term kirubu is another name for Lamassu like the Chaos Dwarf unit) and the winged babies are Putti/Cupids/amorini.

Really those things are just Imps (as are all Nurglings in general) and 40k already follows common language in misnaming things as cherubs but Plague Putti alliterates and has a nitpicky excuse.

I actually didn't know that

Keep up the good work.

Thanks buddy. Sadly I got sick half through the week (guess that's what you get when you make a pact with Nurgle!), but here's the last thing I worked on. It's not finished yet, want to add a little extra effect (hopefully it will work), but yeah, guess I'm back on the painting ship tomorrow

The base looks really cool. :)

The base is looking like a party! Good to see more progress!

[Sagentus]

That Base looked epic! As is the rest of the model!

Slowly but surely he is coming together, but taking your time with this model certainly show with the quality of painting :) 

[Arkangilos]

Looking great!

[Atia]

Thanks guys :)

I'm actually working on the last touch ups on Morty - full pictures later today!

For now - little teaser, pic's that didn't survive the scrap code attack :

[Sagentus]

He's looking great thus far! really like the off white/bone colour of the armour. The robes are the best colour to compliment the armour too and the spot colour of light green works perfectly. Look forward to seein him finished :) 

[hushrong]

Great to see more of him coming together!

Looks ace!

Really silly and simple question from me...

What do you use to attach the sprue to the part without any damages so you can hold onto it etc? :P

Either glue it on a part where you don't care because you won't see it anyways, or just use some adhesive pads . Or you can just pin it in place =)

[veterannoob]
