Nurgley Goodness

I bought the new Dark Imperium 40K boxed set a while ago and it has very much reignited my passion for the game - the rules are less bloated, the new marines are rather spiffy and my favourite Chaos God gets some lovely new miniatures. Nurgle, the god of decay, is a brilliant idea for the starter set. You can't really go wrong painting something that is supposed to be decaying and filthy. However there are ways to make the rotting hordes stand out on the tabletop and I found the advice given on Warhammer TV invaluable in getting these to the table quickly while avoiding them turning into a drab horde. This is basically painting using layers of Citadel Shade on a white undercoat, building up subtle colour blends and bringing out the detail in a few passes. I rather like the result and they were so satisfying to paint in this manner.


These are the Poxwalkers from the First Strike set which are the same as the new "easy build" set. Since there are two sets of ten unique poxwalkers in Dark Imperium, I may add these and an additional box of easy-build Poxwalkers to make two identical units of sixteen with no duplicates within each unit.

Might have to do some Primaris Smurfs next.
