AoS Build and Paint
Stage 1 Plaguebearers
Like I said, I wanted a quick scheme that would look good on the table, and I’m really pleased with how these have turned out so far.
The main scheme is just shades.
- Wash all over with Athonian Camoshade
- Carroburg Crimson for the open wounds and guts as well as along their back and spine
- Seraphim Sepia for the pus and boils
A bit of plastic bum for Lloyd there.
This is Brian the Bee, he thinks he's a plaguebearer but he's just a confused wee bee. "YOU'RE A BEE BRIAN!"If you’re going to do this same scheme, one tip would be to go easy on the seraphim sepia. I found it dries much darker than you might expect and as a result it’s a little heavy handed in places. All the same it looks great on the table with a nice strong contrast so I’ll likely just leave as is.
I think once the details are picked out on these such as the teeth and eyes, as well as getting the weapons painted they’ll be looking really well. They could be tidier but they’re just a bunch of battle line guys, I’ll be spending a bit more time on the heroes etc. I’ve already started Horticulous Slimux and he is great fun to work on.
Great thing about this is I’ll have a unit of plaguebearers good to go in no time.
wow, this looks really effective, even with just the washes 🙂
Thanks, I’m pretty happy with the result. Plaguebearers are normally taken in large units so this makes that task a little less daunting.
It is a great result with a minimal set of stages, thanks for sharing the technique.
This is a great entry, looking forward to seeing more on these.
This looks great. Nurgle really lend themselves to washes.
@thelostdog – class bum shot lol
