Showcase: Maggotkin of Nurgle Beast of Nurgle, Nurglings and Plaguebearers (incl. painting guides)

Last month I started painting my Warcry Daemons of Nurgle Befouled Band and this post is a little update of the models I painted so far including some paint recipes.

I started off by assembling the Warband. The Nurgling base was made from all the little extra Nurglings included in the Maggotkin of Nurgle Vanguard Boxed Set. Pretty useful 145pt model to add to my Warcry Warband. All the models pictured above are from the Maggottinkin of Nurgle Vanguard set apart from the Beast of Nurgle which I bought separately.

Strategically, I choose to paint the Nurglings first because I actually didn’t know how I wanted to to paint my Warband, so this was the perfect model to test out different skin tones.

Nurgle Daemon Skin

• Elysian Green base coat
• Wash with 1 part Dark Angels Contrast + 7 parts Contrast Medium
• Area highlight Orruk Flesh
• Wide highlight Ogryn Camo
• Edge highlight Ionrach Skin

Open Sores/Wounds

• Basecoat open wounds with Screaming Skull
• Wash around spots and exposed areas with equal parts Reikland Fleshshade + Contrast Medium
• Paint exposed areas with equal parts Flesh Tearers Red + Contrast Medium
• Wash the gore with Druchii Violet
• Add some fine highlights of White Scar to the exposed gore

As you can see by my recent twitter post, I popped over to a local Independent model shop and picked up some Plague Drones. I think these will make great additions to my Daemons of Nurgle Befouled Band of warriors.
