Painting Nurgle never looked so good. Don’t miss this painting tutorial on Spoilpox Scrivener, and see how easy it is to paint diseased flesh and details.
Papa Nurgle is getting some love in this painting tutorial featuring a Nurgle Daemon Spoilpox Scrivener. It’s really secretly easy to paint a model worthy of the blessing of Nurgle.
Painting Blood & Guts
Getting the really gutsy look takes the right grouping of paints. The Necrotic Flesh Spray from Army Painter is a great starting point for the Spoilpox Scrivener, then moving to the Badger Bile paint, and getting some cutbacks with Cadmium Brown from Vallejo. The purples on the guts can be achieved with Hexed Lichen, Warlord Purple, and Squid Pink mixed in to get that gross entrails, open sores, and wounds on Nurgle models. Bloodletter Glaze from Citadel can be used to give your Nurgle models even more detail, accenting your purple/red colors, making the guts more vibrant and bloody.
Poxes & Boils
Poxes and buboes are painted with Citadel Flash Gits Yellow and Moot Green to give them a sickly sweet coloration. Nurgle models have loads of detail, so make sure you get them with the right mix of paints to make your Nurgle models worthy of the most generous of Chaos Gods.
Scribe Quill (from a Lord of Change)
The writing quill of the Spoilpox Scrivener can be painted in a luscious blue color to add contrast to all of the sickly green and purple colors. The blue colors can be created with Citadel Lothern Blue and Teclis Blue. You can even go so far as to include a wash of Guilliman Glaze and then some highlights of Ulthuan Grey to really make it pop.
The Spoilpox Scrivener can be an incredible force multiplier with a Nurgle Daemon army, especially with Plaguebearers, so make sure you give him a nice (and disgusting) paint job. Learn from the hobby’s best on how to best paint your models!
