Nurgle Chaos Lord Finished (except the Banner)

This guy is now done, except for the banner he's going to be holding in his left hand. That's built, ready for painting. I'll go through him, bit by bit when he's completely finished. for now, the basics of certain parts.

The First Stealth Suit

So here is the first of soon to be five XV25 stealth suits. 

This guy was done with the same idea as the model below but with the "active camo" being the same colours as the base. I also wanted to avoid really light, contrasting highlights. This defies the whole point of the "stealth" if the highlights really stand out!

Swamp Bases: How To

I'll begin with a disclaimer: the paint scheme is my own work that I tested on several spare bases, the flock though was applied using the techniques explained in this video by "misterjustin". So, on with the tutorial.

First up, I cleaned up the bases, removing the small amount of flash from the edges, then washed them in cool soapy water. This is standard for resin. then, to be sure, I sprayed them with a light dusting of purity seal  from GW. This prevents any remaining release agent from damaging the paintjob.

Fire Warrior Test Model

I just finished this guy a while ago. He is the test model for my tau army and I personally think he went well.

Water Effects Bases

I was flicking through old White Dwarf editions the other day and I came across the Urdek Refinery board in the October 2012 edition (the Chaos Marines release). This board features murky water, a crashed Aquila Lander, a wrecked bridge and an impressive building in the background. But these awesome features weren't what caught my attention. Rather, it was a pretty small feature of the 6ft x 4ft board that made me stop and think.
