The Final Day of Citadel: Nurglings

 

The festive season has drawn to a close. The decorations are down, the houselights switched off and up and down the country children are being bussled earlier into bed knowing that school starts again tomorrow. I managed fourteen painted figures in the end. A model for everyday of my holiday, though they were not painted in that way. I had the odd day off honest. Twelfth Night is tomorrow as well, and a suitable ending point for a Christmasy painting binge.

These classic little blighters need no introduction. I found these unfinished in one of the tatty boxes that were returned to me a few months back. I think I began work on this the year I did 'The Tale of the Four Oldhammer Gamers' with Paul, Steve and Chico. 

That was the best hobby group thing I ever did. 

Long time readers may well remember my small Nurgle Warband I created for the project. Somehow, these little creatures slipped through the net and never got to join their brethren of the boil. So it was fun to finish them at long last as testament to those glory days. 

Like a newb, I based all these figures before I started painting them (perhaps a factor while I gave up on them all those years ago...) so it was fiddly to reach the individual nurglings. The base was also a problem, my usual retro style far too green to work with these tiny models. I had also used GW sand from back in those days and it had loads of large stones dotted about. With hindsight, a more subtle level of sand would have been much better looking.

Still, they are finished. 

I hope you lot like them. 

Not sure when hobby time will rear its head again for me. Things will be full on again as of tomorrow. The electrician is due back to install lighting outside, we need to organise the initial works for the kitchen and my dental woes have returned to bring me down once again.

There are still so many models I want to get completed and I have that skeleton horde project to hopefully make progress on as well.
