Nurgle Sorcerer completed!



At long last, this figure is done!  It has been around for a while now.

As has been mentioned on the previous step by step threads, this is one of the neater "space marine"  unnamed, non terminator armored characters.

Usually Nurgle marines are the domain of Cathy, who loves her Nurgle!!


The way the left hand is holding the halberd has been the same position I have done on a few of my earlier Grey Knight characters from years ago.  It was quite a surprise to see that pose now!


I wish the photos could show more of the wild and crazy color combos.  In the future, I may try shooting some video of painted figures to see if that kind of 'live view' might help in that case.


Mixing in the fluorescent paints with the 'ardcoat was a great find during this whole Nurgle project.  Always learning something new!!!


I almost never used 'ardcoat for anything, but trying it out on these figures has opened up a whole new area of techniques.  Constant experimentation is so vital.  Not only does it lead to improvements in painting, it keeps things fresh! :-)

    An ironic statement in regards to this mini ;)

    Stunning color modulation.

    1. Yes, this poor guy is not so fresh... :-) Still lots of wild colors, though!

    1. Many thanks for the information! It is not uncommon that we are sent commission pieces for which we have no background information.

    1. Yes, it's a Forgeworld mini. It was actually not too bad. Not a single air bubble or missing part, which is amazing.
