Hey everyone,
there I was, happily rediscovering the joy of painting while finishing one Plague Marine after the other, easy as you please. I should have known that Nurgle would visit his gifts on me sooner rather than later, but I was too enraptured by all the decay and rot.
Possibly as a consequence, I’ve been hit with a major case of the flu — that’s what I get, I suppose ;-) So, long story short, I cannot show you the post I originally wanted to show you because I didn’t manage to finish it. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that I can fill the update slot with yet another Plague Marine I painted, so you do get something new to look at, after all!
This time, the model in question was kitbashed in late 2010, so it was high time I slapped some colour on this guy. Here he is:
And a closeup of his lovely face ;-)
Here are the three finished Plague Marines together:
Crackle or no crackle, painting these guys has really been a blast so far, so I am considering adding some more models to the squad: I have two of the 90s metal Plague Marines, plus that old icon bearer from the same time. Giving those models the updated painting treatment would bring the squad up to seven — Nurgle’s sacred number, conveniently enough ;)
But that’s a smaller project for the future! For now, let me crawl back to my bed and try to shake off the visitations of Papa Nurgle. And, of course, let me know what you think!
We’ll be returning to the regular content soon. Until then, as always, thanks for looking and stay tuned for more!
