[Image]I painted this model for the "Lair of the Great Beast" room in the Chamber of Challenges... and if this doesn't qualify as a "great beast" I'm not sure what would... it's Forge World's absolutely magnificent Great Unclean One, Greater Daemon of Nurgle. It's a massive resin casting that I picked up at a swap meet/bring and buy thing locally, likely about five years ago.[Image]The detail on the model is great, and by great I mean disgusting... [Image]Unfortunately someone's gotten to the GUO's backbone, or maybe he's just cracked apart back there... [Image]So many open sores... no way this dude is getting in a hotel swimming pool. [Image]The right hand and sword with tongue wrap were a separate resin casting. It assembled very slickly. [Image] [Image]Had to apply some gloss varnish to his guts.[Image]It's a pretty large model, sure to be the centrepiece of my Nurgle Chaos Space Marines force, if we ever get to have a game again...! He was remarkably straightforward to paint, the base colour is my special "Nurgle mix" of Castellan Green overbrushed with Death World Forest and a skosh of Steel Legion Drab for that sickly brownish cast. Horns are Rakarth Flesh highlighted up to Pallid Wych Flesh, and the stringy bits are similarly done with PWF. Stay safe everyone!
