Nurgle, Nurgle, quite horrid purple, how does your Garden grow?

These Poxwalkers are the down-trodden, the menial, the labourers of the worlds the Brotherhood visit. The Brotherhood spread ideas of paradise, of lush green worlds, of what this world could be, if not for the crushingly oppressive military-industrial complex of the Imperium of Man.

The ideas take seed in the working class. Ideas of a world where they may stroll through a garden of peace and tranquility. Ideas of not having to toil endlessly under the yoke and lash of their overseers. If these ideas of joy take hold of their heart, they become the Composters. A blissful smile pulls at their face, never to leave again. Their only thoughts are of the beautiful landscape their home shall become. They begin to eat though the layers of society and start breaking down the wretched, stale old state-body to make way for the new to growth that is soon to come.

1. Thirty-two Plague Zombies of Nurgle. I should’ve gone for 28 or 35. If I had to do another seven of these zombies, I might become one myself.

The basing scheme was worked out back in 2019: Citadel Martian Ironcrust across the surface. Randomly, some have pinebark chips as rock to stand on. Others have chunks of greenstuff which I painted as rusty metal scrap to break up the surface.
Actually, on that: I’d bought what I thought was a fresh batch of greenstuff for this project. Turned out not to be so fresh at all. Good chunks of the Yellow had already set, which is where most of these chunks came from. I was pretty disappointed, until I decided to not let anything go to waste, one way or another.
In the future, I’m really going to have to source version sold in separate strips.

The “rocks” were brown from the base coat spray of AP Leather Brown. 
They got a wash of very watered-down Vallejo Black.

The metal was also already brown from the undercoat spray.
I went over this with well-thinned Citadel Leadbelcher.
It then got an application of Citadel Typhus Corrosion. I apply this with a brush then dab it back with a cotton-bud so it’s really only left in the creases.

I decided that the basing elements needed to be brought together a little better, so I went over the rocks and metal with the Martian Ironcrust. Then I used a wet, ratty, old brush to wash it back again. I used another cotton-bud to wipe excess off the surface and edges.
The idea is that it leaves the red on the particular element, but the colour is visible underneath. It kind of looks like it’s been sitting in the red dusty surface for a while and has the red dirt of the surround surface over it?
