Sitnams Completed Project - Beastmen

[sitnam]

Since I have a WIP thread, may as well have a HoH thread for completed stuff 

 

Kroot are fun to paint

They are very characterful, aren't they?  

[sitnam]

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

[sitnam]

I didn’t finish them all I time for Orktober, but I did finally complete my small Ork pledge

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

The replacement heads are really distinctive  

[Dr_Ruminahui]

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]

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

I have completed a few Nurgle champions for the Drones of Diomedes, a Master of Executions and a Tallyman

I’m not super happy with the skin on the Tallymans head, but I quite like how the flayed skin came out

[Firedrake Cordova]

The flayed skin came out well, like you said, and the skin on the little nurgling on the base looks appropriately disgusting

[Dr_Ruminahui]

I like the head swaps - the one on the MOE is particularly effective in helping tie the "generic chaos" model into your nurgle army.

 I have my son to thank for those choices. I wasn’t sure about that Possessed head on the Tallyman, but I think it worked out well.

Finally got these Felgors finished for my Tzeentch army

Finished up the rival Beastmen of my small Nurgle warband

I attempted a basing similar to my Nurgle traitor guard, but as a muddy toxic swamp.
