Plague Drones of Nurgle & Nurglings

More quick, dirty daemons of Nurgle. Thought I'd share with you some more evidence of my activities...

In terms of interesting things to say about these big flies, well I binned off making the riders for the plague drones, as I thought they made the models look ridiculously goofy. It's just improbable, but not in a cool way. I tried a bit of an experiment on the wings, which basically involved creating (or trying to create) a moth style mottled pattern on the wings.  This was then washed with successive layers of Athonian Cammo Shade and Agrax Earth Shade (or whatever GW calls them these days).  I then decided that the wings should also appear a bit more like the wings of bog standard insects too, so I painted on a significantly thinned down layer of Vallejo metal medium, which creates an unusual pearlescent effect. This seemed the best way of creating an iridescent effect. It doesn't come across too clearly in the majority of the pictures, as it only glisten as it catches the light, so you'll have to trust me when I say it looks good if you see it in person. Seems to combine well enough with my daemonflesh recipe, and the greenish carapaces

For the Nurglings, I used some stuff I had laying about the place, in the form of some models from Maxmini.eu that are their proxy Nurgling models I suppose. I also added a few bases of Nurglings using the Nurglings you get on the plague bearer sprues.  Not much to these. Quick layers to build up a fleshy tone, then glazed with yellow and purple. Add a bit of Tamiya Clear Red, and done.
