Painting challenge roundup 1

So far in this year's AHPC We've had a Crooked Dice Strawbear for 7TV, some buildings for Adeptus Titanicus, a Nurgle Blighthauler and the three chaos marines from Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress, for a total of 60 points.

Experimental pestilence

After painting up all that AdMech stuff, I've had a bit of a red-overload and needed a bit of a change. Taking a step across the colour wheel, I started having a play with one of the new Plague Marines from the Dark Imperium box to see what could be done with some basic colours and washes.

This was a base of the Death Guard green and bone for the main areas, highlights of a lighter green on the armour, followed by a wash of browns and blacks. Final highlights were repeated with the same base colour and some orangey/rusty streaks. The horns and tentacle still need a bit of work, but overall I'm pleased with him for such a simple set of paints.

The rest are now stuck together and undercoated, in the painting queue along with some nurgle demons... including a giant demonic snail!
