That was quite wacky conversion. When it was done none seemed to have patience to paint it. And so mini reached me ... After couple of hours I thought about quitting too. It was definietely not an easy model.
I wanted to get a dark and dirty feel that I think suits follower of nurgle . I`ve started with the face. It was painted with only 3 colours - chaos black, bronzed flesh and a tiny bit of skull white. At first I couldn`t decide on colour of the armour - it is snot green mixed with bestial brown and then highlighted with snakebite leather and bubonic brown. I`v also given it a wash of bestial brown / blood red in a recesses.
I thought that painting all those severed haeds in similar, pale colour would be boring so I gone wild a bit :). On the other hand I`ve tried to use colours that have been already used on the model , only in different proportions.
I`ve decided not to use nmm this time (whoops, I did it again ;) ). I opted for ordinary metalics. After covering with boltgun metal, mithril silver I gave them successive washes of snakebite leather, bestial brown and bestial brown/ blood red.
When I had most of the mini painted I noticed that basically I don`t have an idea which colour to use on fur and scythe shaft. A brown , wood colour would look dull. I tought "hey, it chaos and who knows what it is made of". Purple seemd to be a good choice. But liche purple is too clean colour. I`ve added a blob of catachan green to mute it. Then I`ve started adding elf flesh for the highlights.
Base is another story. When I made it, it turned out that model does not fit it. I had to change it - added another plate made from corkboard. The fluid coming from the pipe was made using hot glue gun.
When I showed this model on headblast forum Trovarion came up with the name for it - Lord Scrotum . Yes Scrotum :D . |
