Antarius' CtA WiP Thread (Deathwatch, Tyranids and Nurgle Daemons)

[Antarius]

Things are still moving along, albeit slowly. I did nothing at all on these during the weekend, but I have managed to put some paint on all of the models at this point, except for the Beasts (I'm holding off doing those until I find my green stuff and get the sculpting/gap-filling done on the one whose arm broke off).
I'm happy to report that I really like where things are headed and that painting Nurgle models this way is, generally speaking, good fun. But I do wish painting all those boils were a bit faster...

Anyway, here are some wip pics:

You may/may not notice that I'm trying to do the snaily mount as a brown garden slug. I probably won't be able to nail the greyish-green-brown skin, but I'm quite happy with the shell, so far. 

The 10 Plague Bearers in the first pics are almost done. The rest still need their boils and guts painted. I like the way the boils look, but it does take a bit of time, as I give them each individually a dot of white, then a carroburg crimson wash, then a yellow dot to make them (look ready to) pop - and then I guess they'll all need their eyes dotted at the very end.
I've taken to breaking them up into smaller batches, so as not to go totally crazy - it takes a bit of time, but we're going to get there!

Ok, things are slowly crawling along. With a bit of luck, I'll be able to finish the vow this weekend...

So, things are getting close to completion! However, there's still quite a bit of work to be done, including:

- pretty much everything on the Beasts (but now the sculpting is done, so now it's "just" a question of finding a nice scheme for them and applying it...)
- Armour and details on the Prince (I went with a preheresyish Death Guard armour, trying stippling off-white on top of the primer as a sort of "reverse weathering" but there's still a lot to be done)

- Boils on the 20 remaining Plaguebearers (9 that still need everything done, 11 that just need their boils dotted with yellow), plus some details on the banners

- Finishing touches on the Heralds and the snail mount

Writing it out like that, it seems like a lot of work, but I'm cautiously optimistic that I'll be able to finish these up today, so I can get started on a final(?) Nurgle vow.
