This is the Herald of Nurgle that comes with the demon prince from Forge World. Dont really have a use for this piece in my Death Guard Project. But I cant leave a cool piece like this unpainted. So I figured what the heck... paint and I will keep in on the shelf... that is unless someone offers me some money for it.

You know... I REALLY love Forge World...

With that being said... Yes I have become addicted to the resin crack that Forge World supplies. This is my Demon Prince for my very Nurgle-y Death Guard Army. I am really happy with the way that this guy turned out especially with 3 days worth of work put into him. Trying more new techniques and delving deeper into my love affair with Reaper Master Series Paints. The Triad system that they have is AWESOME. It makes for easy color matching and blending to make great shadows and highlights. On this big brute I use the "Blood Triad" on the cloth part and I used the "Bone Triad" on the horn and claws. I also used the "Moldy Skin" triad on small parts of the flesh so it would look a little more dead in spots. I also used Vallejo Gloss Varnish on the whole model (except the cloth and metallic parts).

This piece is actually going into my personal collection. I don't think I will incorporate him into the competition roster of pieces unless something happens. One of these days I am going to have a display case here in the studio and I will have him in the case just cause he looks cool.

This Demon Prince was supposed to be for a commission... but that plan had changed and now I have just a random demon prince laying around. Figured I might as well get him painted up. So this is what I did with him... nothing super fancy... nothing super flashy... just a good paint job that would catch some attention from across the table.

So this is the start of a project that has gone up and down in size a couple times now. It started out as a 2500 point Iron Warriors army... the grew a couple of times and reached about 10k in points. Then... the project went on a diet and it went back to being a 2500 point Iron Warriors army... that just so happens to have a 2500 point traitor Guard to go along with it. This is going to be a blast to paint up. I am really looking forward to this long project. So stay tuned... lots of cool stuff to come. Including a few secrets from Forge World.

So I know I am not well known for posting up WIP shots of things... but this is for 2 reasons.

1. The person that this is for asked me to post up what I am doing because he is curious and he is putting a lot of money into the whole project.

2. He is overseas right now and I have more respect for people in the military than almost anyone else I have ever me before.

So... This is of 2 units of Bloodletters of Khorne. Now the whole project is going to be approx. 10k in points of Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines. So this is going to be a LONG project and there will be lots to see and comment on... so stay tuned.
