April's Hobby Recap



Hi guys, here's what I've been up to this month!



Started with this unit of Bestigor.

I added bellies to most of them, plus rather badly done masks to make them resemble the old pestigor (I'm hoping to redo these soon). The champion got a rather more in depth conversion than first thought to be able to use that Blight King Scythe, but I think it came out ok in the end!

I'm rather more proud of this next unit, 10 chaos warriors converted from Bloodbound Bloodreavers! I shaved off all of the Khorne Iconography and replaced some with my custom Nurgle symbol. I'm particularly proud of the rust effects on these guys.


I think this guy in particular has the best rust effects, you can really tell the difference that using Typhus Corrosion has under the rust paint!


Here's the (out of focus) champion for the unit, you can see the various effects paints used; Blood for the Blood God, Nurgle's Rot and the rust paints. Also on his forehead is an example of the shaved off Khorne symbol followed by a sculpted custom Nurgle symbol.


Finally here's the banner bearer for the unit. He had a massive Khorne symbol on the banner so I had to put greenstuff over it - I tried to make it so it look like a flag, but carved the Nurgle symbol into it as well. 




This month I'm going to be working on another Rotbringer Sorceror, this time taken from the Glottkin kit... Hopefully going to try my hand at scratchbuilding a sign on his base, using plasticard for the first time...

  1. I have a whole bunch of these from the AoS boxset and was wondering what to do with them. This is the first time I have seen them painted in Nurgle colours with the icons of Khorne removed and really like how you have made them look. Thanks for the inspiration! http://inthepaintroom.blogspot.co.uk

    1. Hey thanks Daniel! I'm working on another unit of them, so much better than the Chaos Warrior kit. You could go alot further with the conversion work to make them more nurgly too! Followed your blog, looks great!

  2. I have a deal with the wife at the moment - I'm not to buy any more mini's until I have got through the ones I have. This way, I can still expand my Nurgle army without buying more! As for conversions, I have seen a great many guides on using GS to Nurgle'ify models so I'll be referring to them for tenticles, boils etc.
    Thanks for the follow!
