Nurgle themed Godsworn - Painting the Plaguesworn hunt

Apologies for the delay in posts - I have been avidly painting and playing with my Godsworn hunt and absolutely loving it. I will do a gaming post another day but I would highly recommend the warband to anyone who fancies a change of pace in the game.

 As for the painting - thats been a blast too and here they are in all their glory
Looking grimy
As you can see I went for some variety in the skin tones with these guys. All of them were basecoated a deserty yellow colour and I did a couple of drybrushes and a thinned wash to get the major skin details nice and clear before highlighting with flayed one flesh. Browns on the cloth were done with rhinox hide then mournfang then scrag with a sharp edge of deathclaw in places and the furs with rhinox followed by doombull and then doombull and bone. The green armour is incubi darkness, waagh flesh, warboss green and then moot green edges with a spot of incubi mixed in to every layer to get the tone right. Metals are done with a stippling method from rhinox to mournfang, scrag, squig orange and then a turquoise thinned wash and a final stipple/edge with stormhost silver. I added some pools of Nurgle's rot to the bases as I didn't think they dry deserts looked quite right for Nurgle's followers. Overall I am pleased with these guys and will continue to use them as my main warband for a while I think. Individual pics below - enjoy 👍
Ollo - painted this guy first going for a bone effect on the bow

Gribbly bits

More gribbly bits and a good shot of the bow

Jagathra with her javelin of doom 
Jagathra again showing the skin tone nicely

Grawl looking manky

A better shot of his fly head here 
The first three fighters complete - this shows Jagathra's faceplate nicely

Shond with his bronze bells, rotten skin and bone sword handle. His helm looks a bit flat here. It is more like Jagathra's in the flesh

Theddra - very happy with her overall look

Grundann who is the most in depth conversion by far and just about pulls it off I think
If you're wondering how I made these guys check out my previous article where you can see them without paint and where the bits came from. Until next time 👌

Cursebreakers vs Thorns of the Briar Queen 16.12.18

Image
My first game with the Cursebreakers! I really wanted to try these guys out as I was imagining them to be pretty much the opposite to my grots. I was going from the largest warband in the game to the smallest and from very little killing ability in a single activation to every model being more than capable of taking out my opponent’s fighters. I was up against Josh and the Thorns again but he had spent some time revising his deck rather than using the one straight from the box so I knew I was in for a tough fight. I had drawn extreme flank, conquest and sorcerous scouring so I deployed deep in my territory close to edge hexes to prevent my fighters getting bogged down early and try to force him into a couple of push activations with Varclav. His first activation was a push and I tried to empower Rastus for inspiration and failed. He went on guard with the everhanged and I tried for the empower inspiration and failed again! The everhanged charged in (scoring change of ta...

Leodis Games Tournament 23.02.19

Apologies for the lack of posts guys – I haven’t been getting as many games in as I wanted and need to get back on it with these blog posts! Last Saturday was a best of three tournament up at Leodis Games which (once you find it) is a decent little shop and gaming venue. There was a really great mix of warbands being played with Mollog, Magore, Zarbag, Fjul, Briar Queen, Theddra and Stormsire all in attendance. Total glory rather than glory differential was used as a second sorter which wasn’t ideal for my warband of choice as I think it favours high third end phase scorers such as objective and key based builds. The gaming area at Leodis Games I took the Chosen Axes to this event as I have been enjoying playing them and almost have them fully painted now too. I need to do some more work on the metals and an extra fine highlight on the hair and skin but they are getting there and I got some compliments on the scheme at the event. I had played the Mollog match up just once in t...

Nurgle themed Godsworn - Creating the Plaguesworn Hunt

Image
As mentioned in my last post I am planning on having a string of games using the Godsworn Hunt. This Sunday I was lucky enough to get a chance to test them out using some borrowed models (thanks Nick Bayton!). I had an absolute blast playing the four games and came out with one major win and one narrow loss vs Eyes of the Nine, one major loss and one major win vs Steelheart's Champions. At no point in any of these games did I feel like I had no options, the warband is so varied and fast moving they can always do something interesting. When I first saw the models for this warband I had a good chat with Nick about dedicating them to one of the Chaos gods. Nick did an amazing job of making his Godsworn into Slaaneshi cultists but I fancied something a bit... more grimy. Enter Grandfather Nurgle. An absolute pleasure to use these awesome models in a game! I used Blightking parts and a little greenstuff to give the warnband a diseased feel and am really pleased with how they turne...
