A New Beginning
Boils and blood, a week in warhammer
So, as my return to the hobby continues, I’ve spent my spare time this week painting boils. Lovely.
I used Vallejo dead flesh colour for the boils, and then put a line of red wash around the bottom of each one to give a sort of blood effect to add a bit of shape to them.
Speaking of shade, I also added some extra tones to the overall model. I never copy the official paintjobs on thise things, not least because I am nowhere near a good enough painter to do so. But in the case of the Glotkin, the offical images are stunning, with some genuinely brilliant painting on the details, but for me, it is all too clean for nurgle.
Its very precise, but this is the lord of decay, and the glotkin is a corruptrd monster, so I want a more chaotic look. So, when taking a break from boils, I mixed up a dirty reddy-purple mix of various washes, thinned them down and used it to add color variation across the model.
Still my time with boils is ending, and next week, I am going to have the horn.
