Nurgle Warband Update: Cavalry nr. 5

An undead horse with a new tail (the old one was basically just a lump of metal) with a converted undead rider. The rider just received a new helmet and head made out of Pro-create.

The background (short version) for this rider is an old Bretonnian knight who has fought long and hard in the chaos wasteland. The remains of a caparison still attached to his horse. This is one of the reasons as well I kept the riders clothing in the same green.

Have five riders now but at least two more will be added with would leave me at seven - the (un)holy number of Nurgle. Then I think I'll finish the other units to have a first gameable version ready for this army...and yes, the General as well.

(23/9: Updated the pics with a black background - much better IMO)

    A weird-looking bunch indeed. I do like that you've gone for an unorthodox approach in terms of minis and paint-jobs for these disciples of Nurgle. Most refreshing, in a rotten kinda way...

    Very nice! Colour choice is excellent! There is something really disturbing about those horsemen, reminds me of a Bosch painting!

      Thanks! Hieronymus - a true champion of chaos. Big fan of his work. Haven't thought about him painting these though. You gave me an idea however - could probably find some Bosch inspired creatures or mutations in his paintings. /Hans

    I have to agree, there's a very definite Bosch feeling to these cavalrymen. I love the paint scheme, the conversions, the basing. The whole thing really.

      Thanks Mr Saturday!
      This mentioning of Bosch has helped me in a very good way. I have been thinking of a name for the General but haven't come up with something I like yet. Now I have - He will be HIERONYMUS the ... Well have to think of a last name as well.
      Thanks! /Hans

    This group shot made me realise that apart form from the shields, bases and metals, another thing that ties them together is the greenish taint you've given here and there. That's a subtle way to link them + it gives an otherworldly look when you take them individually.
    I will definitely use this and shamelessly apply it to some future project.

      Oh yes, there is bit of green on all of them. Part of it is blending in green (I use mostly Citadel Kabalite Green for this) to the e.g. horses skin or the armour but it also part using Citadel Green glaze in a few selected places. Especially the rider to the left (the Rogue on skeleton horse) received a fair bit of glazing. As that rider look a bit ordinary compated to his colleagues. The glazing gave him a eerie shine which I like.

      Thanks for stopping by! /Hans

      Just a technical question about thoses, I'm thnking about using some but I'd like to know if it's the kind of stuff to use straight from the bottle like their washes or if it's more something you have to dilute to just give a slight coloration and to liven up your colours?

    3. Don Hans17 September 2013 at 13:44

      Just like the washes you can use them straight from the bottle or dilute them to lower intensity /Hans

    Totally "non-conformist" approach that doesn't betray the subject. Very mature and fresh result. Bravo !

    I hold your work in high regard. It is not easy to assemble a group of individuals that still appear coherent when assembled as a unit.
    Your bases are truly remarkable, truly original and laden with intricate detail very seldom seen. Would have been great to have come across your tutorial prior to basing my rat ogres; something to consider for future projects.
    Please continue to keep innovating and inspiring others to excel at what they do and what they may one day achieve.
    Cheers.

    Just did a random hit on your blog and these are fantastic.....I love the way you have used such an unorthodox scheme and style. Really painting outside the box. I'm looking forward to browsing about at more of your work.
