To start with here's a suitably atmospheric one in the style of Iron Sleet.
Followed by a well lit version. Overall I'm very happy with how this guys turned out! I decided to try out a new technique on the armour. I would usually just paint armour varying degrees of Silver with a black or brown wash, but as the Doombull is part of my Nurgle army, I felt I needed something to visually tie it in there, as having the Mark of Nurgle if you like. I decided to mix silvers into a base of Waagh Flesh, having chosen this as I felt the tone of the green fit in better with the rest of the army, plus I didn't want it too bright.Starting off with a basecoat of WF mixed with Leadbelcher, I then mixed in varying ratios of Mithril Silver with WF for subsequent layers, finishing off with pure MS for battle damage.
The green "gems" were Waagh Flesh followed by Warboss Green, with a little Nurgle's Rot for the final step, I wanted them to look like they were oozing it! One of the gems I resculpted to have a rudimentary Nurgle symbol, instead of the stock Slaanesh one, and I intend to carry this symbol on throughout the army, starting with freehanding(!) it onto my next model's helmet.
The shoulder horn started with a base of Doombull brown, then, starting at the tip, pure Screaming Skulls, then reducing it as I went down the horn.The yellow stuff at the top of the horn is a little Nurgle's Rot, I got a little carried away.
The axe is my standard formula for silver, Leadbelcher then Mithril Silver and a wash, but I spent extra time building up areas on the axe with Agrax Earthshade, specifically the shadow around the raised area in the middle. I then added in some Nurgle's Rot into the crevices, as well as Blood for the Blood God for blood splatter. I don't think I've got the angle right on the blood but I'm not too bothered about that.
The last Nurgle element I added to the model was the wound on his back, painted with a base of Mephiston red, followed by BFTBG and Nurgle's Rot!
Painting this guy has really got my imagination going on the Beastment element of the army again, resulting in the largest element of the army as seen on the plan below, being Beastmen! Next I intend to get a unit of Ungor Raiders and apply this scheme to them!
