Becau...Sure thing and it was pretty simple really.<br /><br />Because the miniature was painted primarily with airbrush, the base caught a lot of overspray, so the colours originally were a dusty mix of black, grey/green, tan/bone. It was essentially like a zenithal basecoat.<br /><br />It can be done as a standard zenithal of black>grey>white too which I've done on other figures and can be done by brush painting and drybrushing to that point so you don't need an airbrush at all.<br /><br />Then it was just a combinataion of a handful of Citadel Shade washes, some pigment powder and one Technical Paint<br /><br />So:<br />Step #1 – Greyscale/Zenithal basecoat.<br />Step #2 – Cover the entire thing with a liberal coat of Fuegan Orange. While still wet add some little random patches of Cassandora Yellow, Seraphim Sepia and Reikland Fleshshade. You want it all wet and leave it to one side to dry and mix naturally. (I've got some other figures I've left at this stage because I like the look when it dries)<br />Step #3 (Optional if you don't have spores you can skip) – Once dry, Reikland Fleshashade Gloss was used on the patches of spores.<br />Step #4 – I used 3 weathering powders (brand doesn't really matter). A dark Orange/Brown rust, a mid Orange rust and finally a light dusty Tan/Sand colour. Like painting I just worked from the darker colour up. Darkest powder first in the recesses out, the mid orange over that and finished off with just a touch of the sandy colour to highlight raised areas.<br />Step #5 (Optional also if you're not going for nurgley disease/toxic) – Nurgles Rot was layed down where felt appropriate, it interacts with the powders leaving those wet edges. I also brushed a little of it on the spores too (again, optional if you don't have them).<br /><br />That's it really, I hope that was clear and helps ;)Meandering Shadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724165815017869687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876651437651084280.post-13581837758694577442019-06-30T00:45:48.339+01:002019-06-30T00:45:48.339+01:00Would you mind sharing how you painted the base, w...Would you mind sharing how you painted the base, what colors/ products you used?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876651437651084280.post-89490560407468625192018-06-04T16:32:46.765+01:002018-06-04T16:32:46.765+01:00I have the same response looking at other peoples ...I have the same response looking at other peoples amazing Nurgle miniatures.<br />It's beautiful!

Once I get them complete I'll be getting them all up on the blog :)Meandering Shadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724165815017869687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876651437651084280.post-13188153924210481892018-06-03T15:17:12.309+01:002018-06-03T15:17:12.309+01:00Thank you.
