sitnam Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 The old Kroot Carnivores were such a great kit with tons of bits and posing, and these really just expand off that with tons of great details. The head variety alone is fantastic Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380774-sitnams-completed-project-nihilakh/#findComment-5993968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitnam Posted December 11, 2023 Author Share Posted December 11, 2023 I finished my first squad of Nurgle traitor guard. I’m not super happy with the basing, which was supposed to be a sewer/acid base. I am quite proud with the rest though. Still debating whether I want to take the other BSF squad and convert them too Spoiler Dr_Ruminahui, Firedrake Cordova and deathspectersgt7 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380774-sitnams-completed-project-nihilakh/#findComment-6008886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The replacement heads are really distinctive sitnam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380774-sitnams-completed-project-nihilakh/#findComment-6009028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Yeah, those heads look great - I especially like the one with the hat on who I assume is the squad leader. I also think you've done a great job of getting a range of greens, browns and yellows on the models, making them distinctively nurgle without being overwhelmingly green, which makes them more visually interesting. I think the bases are very well done - just perhaps not the best fit for these minis. Being quite bright and of the same or similar colours to the minis, I think for these models they draw focus away from the minis and kind of wash them out. I think they would be great with minis whose colours they contrast with, perhaps with some OSL (aka indirect lighting effect) on the legs - but here I think a darker or less green base would serve the minis better. sitnam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380774-sitnams-completed-project-nihilakh/#findComment-6009552 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitnam Posted December 15, 2023 Author Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) Thank you both for the kind words, and thank you for the advice on the bases @Dr_Ruminahui. I’ll keep it mind for the next Nurgle models I complete. I feel like your reasoning is correct, it’s too similar to my current pallet on the minis themselves Edited December 15, 2023 by sitnam Dr_Ruminahui 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380774-sitnams-completed-project-nihilakh/#findComment-6009599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitnam Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 I have completed a few Nurgle champions for the Drones of Diomedes, a Master of Executions and a Tallyman Spoiler I’m not super happy with the skin on the Tallymans head, but I quite like how the flayed skin came out OpossumStrong and Firedrake Cordova 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380774-sitnams-completed-project-nihilakh/#findComment-6026859 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The flayed skin came out well, like you said, and the skin on the little nurgling on the base looks appropriately disgusting sitnam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380774-sitnams-completed-project-nihilakh/#findComment-6026894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I like the head swaps - the one on the MOE is particularly effective in helping tie the "generic chaos" model into your nurgle army.

Firedrake Cordova Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I think you might want to nudge the exposure up a little - it seems to be exposing for the white background, leaving the models slightly dark?

sitnam Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 Completed the first part of the Kroot box, which is also part of my challenge for the Iron Gauntlet. Spoiler Very fun models to paint, though some of the extra detail can get annoying. I did 11 because I tested one out with a Death Guard Green Spray instead of Grey Seer. I’ll likely do the rest of the Kroot in the same way, it makes it easy not having to get the miscellaneous nooks and crannies, but it doesn’t affect the tone of some of my contrast paints. i hope these pictures come out better, I adjusted the brightness a bit more this time around MithrilForge, Dr_Ruminahui, Firedrake Cordova and 2 others 4 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/380774-sitnams-completed-project-nihilakh/#findComment-6043779 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePenitentOne Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Congratulations on Gauntlet Challenge II. I think I'll have my kill team done by the end of the weekend. I have seven models after that as a stretch goal. The Blue Beaks look great, and I love the shaper's camo quill cloak. You've got quite a jump on Challenge III.
