Having finished her Poxwalkers from the First Strike box set Meddy has moved onto painting the three Death Guard plague marines from the set. Initially I thought they would be too difficult for her to paint but she has made such good progress on the poxwalkers that I decided to let her have a go.
Her first effort was the sergeant of the unit who has had a plaguebearer head added in place of his helmet so that he better fits with both Meddy's poxwalkers and my own upcoming Death Guard marines.
She has started with a bone coloured undercoat and applied a couple of green washes to his flesh to get depth and shading. She has then applied base colourw to all the other details and given them either a brown or black wash. She has given his sword a rusted look by 'blobbing' Typhus Corrosion onto the blade before drybrushing with Ryza Rust.
The mouth in is stomach has come up especially well. She achieved this look by applying a brown wash to the whole area followed by a red wash to the areas nearest to his skin.
Wow! Meddy that looks so good! That one looks a bit like your dad, you think?
