Chaos Daemons: Plaguebearers No.2



Continuing the Nurgle theme that has featured so prominently this week, I thought I should include these Plaguebearers.  These were some that I bought off eBay (always a good source for cheap(er) miniatures).  They were already assembled, but the painting was all my own.



The Plaguebearers were lots of fun to paint, and consisted primarily of a black undercoat, olive green basecoat (actually, the technical name was Death Forest Green) with a brown drybrush (Snakebite Leather in this instance), and then a liberal washing with a dark brown (either a wash or watered down brown paint).


The Plaguebearer kit is absolutely fantastic.  Not only does it fit together well, but there are so many options, and tonnes of bits left over at the end of it all to allow you to create some horrors of your own.


There are some nice, gory details - such as exposed entrails and bones - which grubby the models up a little.



The bone-coloured Plague Blades were painted using Karak Stone (a kind of khaki colour) which then had a stagnant green wash over it (in this case, Athonian Camoshade from the Citadel Wash colours).


Aaaaaaaaand, there you go!  The finished article!  Easy to paint, and lots and lots of fun to play with on the tabletop.
