Nurgle fly + 40k Chaos chosen: «NURGLED»



Models: "Plague drone of Nurgle"&"Chaos space marine: Chosen"
Company: Games workshop

"Story behind the scene": Some time ago I got the drone of Nurgle, a quite amazing miniature which I had painted in a really bad way. I wanted to paint a rider, a dark and evil one, but I didn´t like very much the plague bearer. So I was looking for a mini who could ride my monster instead of the plague bearer, and I found the Chaos Chosen. It would be my first conversion.



Then, I found some inspiration surfing on the internet, when I first discovered Karol Rudyk´s art. The way he gets extraordinary riders and monsters hipnotized me. He usually paints monsters using desaturated colors and red-green-brown tones, which would suit very well this project.


This Chaos space marine could ride a monster very well, but the cloak and legs where not in the best position, so I cut both. When you first do it you feel how something broke inside yourself...



Some pieces of putty later... and there it is, not so bad at all:


I also sculpted a new cloak and a saddle:



Starting sketching in grey tones:



Choosing tones: I followed the basic Nurgle pattern of green+reddish tones, looking for great saturation and contrast. For the Space marine I chose the black+gold armour scheme:




Adding some oranges weathering effects on the insect:




Base: I used cork+plastic pieces in order to create a dirty puddle in the middle, sculpting some nasty worms:





Special effects: Finally I added some reddish glue and still water on the base. With great effort (but no desirable results) I also sculpted a basic banner. 
Hope you like the final picture of it. Comments are welcome!

Model 1: Marie Fleur Company: Mr Lee's minis Scale:  28 mm Model 2: Stardrake head Company: GW Scale: 28 mm Story begins with a challenge from a painter and a team I specially admire: Roman Lappat and Massive Voodoo. This summer the MV challenge dared us to build sceneries including penguins or Marie Fleur. I chose the 2nd option apreciating so great opportunity to go beyond our confort limits. Marie is a cute and delicate mini, small but really beautiful, it transmit a lot, lovely. It arrived home just in a few days. First step was imagine the composition and characters. She is a little girl holding a flower at her back. The question is, who is this flower for?  I remember to be asking my family for their own opinions like a brainstorm: to a robot, her mother, a boyfriend...were possible candidates. Finally, I remembered I was keeping a dragon head from Sigmar Stardrake, could it be a possible friend? But, what about the scenery: a

STARDRAKE: "THE DEMON SLAYER»

Story started with a birthday present. OMG! It is huuuge! Amazingly detailed, it is gonna be something like Sistine Chapel but, here I am... First of all, I remove the reliefs on shields and armours, cause I want to draw my own freehands, giving more value to the figure. Sencodly, I make an easyhonor conversion using Milliput, just to add a new position to the leg ( I find the original design quite unnatural). Lets go to the base now, I imagine the dragon hunting khorne demons on a volcanic field. I use some cork which imitate castle ruins, surrounded by lava. Lava cracks using milliput, sand and glue. Let´s try something new: lava splashes!  Surfing on the internet I found a great and original tutorial by chest of colors By putting together some plastic pieces, white glue and «Water effects», I got something like dynamic lava. First painting giving lights and shadows, again I use a lateral illumination pattern and OSL
