The Blightlord

I saw the Blightlord box art and hated it. Impressive paint job, but too clean. I remember when Nurgle art was icky and like something you would find in either the swamp or a drain pipe in an abandoned building. So I set out to do the remainder of my Blightlords as just icky and grimy and less friendly.

The base coat is zenithal followed by a slathering of Grim Rust. After that I used Chipping Medium, and once that dried I used Scaly Hide for the armor, a mixture of Hoplite Gold and Polished Silver for the armor bits, a more golden mix for parts, red tone for the face, Maize Yellow for the bugs, and a sepia tone wash followed by Sunburst Ochre for the horns. I used military shader for the possessed shoulder pad and nurgling little buddy.

Whole model was finished by a wash of Vallejo Grey Wash. The Combi Plasma is slaughter red followed by thinned yellows until a white highlight, and the weapon metal is Death Metal. The base I did previously when I was going to make these Fallen. All in all it was fun.

At first I wasn’t sure I was looking at the right page (no oven hehe). The new photo setup is nice!

Love how the shoulder face thing came out. The axe has some really cool weathering.
