My fifth squad of Nurglings is now complete. I was a bit stuck about which colour to go for this time around until a gaming friend suggested the brown that I used for Mulch’s shell when I painted Horticulous Slimux.

I think that the result looks, well, OK. But it’s not great, and it’s my least favourite colour. But they do seem to look pretty nice alongside the other Nurglings, so it’s not too bad.

Colours used

• Flesh – Undercoated with Dryad Bark, washed with Druchii Violet and highlighted with Sylvaneth Bark.
• Horns – Rakarth Flesh, washed with Agrax Earthshade.
• Tongue, Intestines and Wounds – Bugman’s Glow, washed with Reikland Fleshshade and highlighted with Cadian Fleshtone.
• Eyes – Flash Gitz Yellow
• Base – Doombull Brown, wash of Agrax Earthshade and a highlight of Kislev Flesh.
• A liberal application of Nurgle’s Rot to taste.

I now have four squads of Nurglings, and there is a fifth under way. I’m really enjoying Nurglings, they’re a lot of fun to paint and to play on the table. 9th Edition seems to have been reasonably kind to them and they’ve realised that they can climb through the walls of ruins. The alternating deployment is also kind to them given that they can deploy out of your deployment zone. I can see where the enemy is going and react with them or drop them off to deny any enemy units with similar abilities.
