Splitbristle Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi forums! I'm looking to paint up a block of 20 Marauders and am struggling to get them to look a bit more, well...Nurgly. Will probably do the armour parts green and rusty but what I am really getting stuck on is a decent skin tone - something slightly pale without going full blown rot! Any ideas for wash mixes? Am thinking a pale skin tone and green/purple washes perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyGeekyPersona Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I would recommend that you watch the warhammer TV videos for painting Blightkings. Duncan uses diluted purple and red shades over a pale flesh scheme if memory serves correctly. MGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Misfire Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Easy conversions will also work wonders. Use any leftover heads/weapons/shields from blightkings; heads, hands and weapons from undead kits like ghouls will also fit if you've got any lying around, just watch out for zombies, they've got deceptively big heads and hands!

Splitbristle Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks both! Think I have some Mantic zombies somewhere that I'll check out and see how the heads scale up. Will definitely give that video a watch too as Blightkings are on my "to buy" list this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Misfire Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Mantic zombies will probably scale really nicely, hand't considered using non GW models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyGeekyPersona Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Using a saw/knife/drill to add a little bit of corrosion effect to armour works wonders too. Plus, it's relatively easy to add Nurgle icons to shields/armour/fore heads with a little green stuff. Have a look at some of the chaos blogs on this forum for inspiration.

BloodBeast Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I've definitely seen GW zombie heads make perfect Nurgle Marauders. There's some cool bits of intestine and stuff that would spice up the unit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiky Norman Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Once you have "Nurglified" some Mararauders, be sure to post some pictures. I'd like to see some good examples of how to do this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
