Games Workshop: Nurgle Plaguebearers



These plaguebearers are part of a Demons of Chaos army that is one of several unfinished projects I have still ongoing. When I returned to wargaming after my long hiatus, I tried getting back into Warhammer, and planned to start a Demons army to give me something new to play with besides my old Empire and Orcs & Goblins horde. So far though I've only really flirted with 8th edition, playing maybe a half dozen or so games. Too many other games have intruded upon my time and attention since then. But I do hope to at least go back and finish painting up the other chaos miniatures I collected, even if I don't end up playing all that much Warhammer again. These plaguebearers were great fun to paint. I used a variety of yellow and green ink washes to give each of the figures a slightly different hue, but still keep within the same overall tone. The basing is admittedly very simple, but when it comes to basing I sometimes think that less is more.
