Nurgle Lord on Daemonic Mount

For today I bring a Nurgle Lord on Daemonic Mount.

I always wanted to paint the Lord on Daemonic Mount, and last Xmas my brother gifted it to me. I decided to transform it a little bit and nurgle-fy it. Unfortunately, I did not take any pics of the conversion process, but I added greenstuff to the horse to simulate pustules and rotten flesh; sculpted tentacles going out the helmet, and the back as well as holding the shoulder horn and obviously gap-filling as this is a GW resin figure, we all know what that means.

As it was a Nurgle Lord I was going to paint him green, but decided to go for a highly-saturated one with plenty of yellow rather than a matt green, more dark as I use to. The style is a little bit oldhammer, although I chose NMM for it. It makes for a very nice counterpart next to Valten.

As usual, I am unable to take proper photos. I have tried different settings and lighting to no avail, still most of the details and textures are gone, for example the hammer is NMM and then several layers of moss and such to make it more Nurgle-y but the image simply captures green layers on top of it.

My Fantasy Character Collection grows! :)

Armies on Parade: Tyranids

I have a very small Tyranid Army that is basically a spin-off of my Tyranid Kill Team. I plan on add a few more units in the future as well as a couple of big ones like the Mawlock, but for now I can field them when I mix my Cult.

Below you can see the whole Army painted:

• 1 Hive Tyrant
• 1 Ravener
• 3 Tyranid Warriors
• 10 Hormagaunts
• 10 Termagaunts
• 2 Brood Lords
• 1 Zoanthrope
• 40 Genestealers
• 3 Rippers

Hive Tyrant

I present the last miniature -for now- of the Tyranid project, the Hive Tyrant!

I actually finished painting him sometime mid-June but not until today I got him out of storage with all the others to take some pictures.

When doing so I realized that the matt varnish layer I applied right at the end has ruined completely the paint job. This is very frustrating, it's the second time that it happens and it somehow looks like a fine dust layer on top of the whole miniature, especially visible on the dark blue areas. I tried removing it with all sort of products but it also takes away the paint, so the only real solution is to repaint the more damaged areas, which is something I am not willing to do for now.

Aside from that, you can see that I took a bit more of time on him compared to the other bugs. I still followed the same techniques and tried to paint him fast, but did a few extra steps for some additional highlights.

Arms are magnetized so I can choose between rifle or claws.

For the wings, after looking at many different pictures of very nicely painted Hive Tyrants, I decided to go for a pattern that I could simulate with the stippling technique which I am trying to get better at, while at the same time giving it some kind of flesh-y look. On top of it I added a few veins which I think adds a nice touch.
