I was hoping to get a lot more painting done today than I did but I’m still happy with what I achieved. I finished base coating and added several dry brushes to the whole gang then I went hell for leather on Lord Pestilence.
I’m really quite pleased with how he’s turned out. I wanted him to look mouldy and rusty and rotten. One thing I think I could have improved on is more goop or Nurgle rot on the horse. He looks a bit clean compared to his rider.
The rusted bells give him a nice “off ya bloody rocker” kind of vibe.
It’s actually the first horse I’ve ever painted and I wanted it to white or light to contrast the dark greens of the armour etc.
I added a little blood to the two large pustules on his lower back. Make it look even more vile.
I think Nurgle is fast becoming my favourite things to paint. So much fun. My approach was fairly simple. Blob on a whole bunch of colours then wash then detail then dry brush.
Let me know what you think? 😊

Nice work and cool backdrop/terrain. I agree than Nurgle themed chaos servants are the most fun to paint.

Thanks Heretic. The terrain was done a while ago (March of the flies from the ground up). I love Nurgle!

You’ve really done a lovely job on him mate, both in the conversion and the painting. The contrast between the pale horse and the filthy armour and tormented fleshy bulk of the lord really makes the whole piece stand out.

There’s a man goin round takin names and he decides who to free and who to blame – Johnny Cash – When a man comes around. First heard it in the opening scenes of Dawn of the Dead (2004). Brilliant song. It has the revelations quote at the beginning of the song. Thanks Wudu, I’m glad you like him. I was considering another colour other than the typical green but when it’s not broken…

Looks great. I especially like the base. Mind letting me know the colours you used? I have a old harbour to paint and I want my wet rotted planking to be just like you have bone yours.

Thanks man. I basically used rotting flesh, some darker greens, baneblad brown, Crimson wash, nuln oil, Nurgle rot and then a little dry brush with a bone colour.

FOR GODS SAKE MAN WILL YOU SLOW DOWN!!! I could cope with you painting faster than me, and to such a high standard as well, but frankly this is getting embarrassing..
Lovely work by the way.

Thank you very much mate. I’m glad you like him. I think white horses and black ones for that matter can look quite haunting, even scary.

He’s as bad “ass” as bad “ass” can be. Funny how Americans say ASS and we English saw ARSE. Bad Arse doesn’t have the same ring to it. Same as JackArse. Anyway, thank you I’m pleased you like him.
