From ByronM: Nurgle Cultists (90 points)

Two years ago just after finishing working on my Nurgle / Deathguard 40k army I won a gift certificate from one of Curt's great sponsors - Pig Iron Productions.   While they have a number of great products the ones that really attracted me were their Kolony Ferals.

I was attracted to the Ferals as they had a post apocolyptic look and feel and I thought they would fit right into my Nurgle force as either cultists, mutants, or even pox walkers and provide something different than the normal GW look.

They arrived though and quickly fell into the closet-o-shame where I hide all my unpainted stuff, but I found them again this fall and decided it was time to get them all painted up.

I chose a super simple paint scheme or essentially 2 colours: green and purple.  I wanted something that was going to have high contrast between their rags and their masks, but still provide a Nurgle look.

After painting the figures, I kind of fluked out by having some purple flowers (a little more pink than would have been perfect) kicking around that I feel make them really pop colour wise.

Even though these were done quickly and *gasp* included dry brushing, I love the way they came out.  The colours really work together and I am quite happy with them.  The only issue is, now I want more!!!

Thank you again to Pig Iron for these great figures!

Ahh, it's great to see you get these guys done up, Byron. I too am a great fan of Pig Iron's stuff, with me using these same figures as post-apoc raiders for my Metro 2033 project. An often overlooked range, they provide wonderfully characterful and chunky figures.

I like the sickly Nurgle effect you've achieved with their green and purple colour scheme, and the fuchsia plants on the rad-blasted landscape really set them off nicely. 

Yes, wonderfully blighted and suitably icky!

90 points for you Mr. Mudry - well done!

From PaulS: March to War (35 Points)

So far I've done a Strawbear and some small(ish) buildings..., but it is time to start on one of the ongoing projects for 2018-19. I signed up to the 40k partwork, Conquest, as it seemed like a good way to get a kick to paint up a load of the figures I already had floating around, unbuilt. Seems like a dumb way of doing things, but it seems to be working...

The first thing that made it to the painting table was the Nurgle Blighthauler. This was a fun model to paint, especially once I found my long lost pot of rust

To accompany the Hauler, the next few models are the chaos lord and his bodyguard from the recent Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress

Once again, I've just realised that I hatehatehate painting black armour. And faces by the looks of that photo. Still, these four models are a nice step towards painting up all the 40k Chaos stuff that I've got floating around. To give you a sense of scale on the Hauler, here they are together

According to the scoring chart, this should be 20 for the Hauler (as a vehicle) and 15 for the three marines, totalling 35 points.

Wow, these are very impressive Paul. That Blighthauler is superbly nasty. I'm glad you found your pot of rust paint as the effect is absolutely superb on this model. A few of us here have picked up Blackstone Fortress, but I've not had time to open it yet, so now seeing your work here I'm very keen to get tucked into these models. You may hate painting black armour, but it doesn't show in your work - very nice, these.  I also like your red groundwork as it does a great job of setting up the colours of the models. Great work!
