Tale of Three Gamers Update (Orcs and Goblins)


Good day and welcome fellow children of the Plague Father. Today I have for you another update on my Orc and Goblin horde. I am more or less on track, about half way through my horde of green skins. I managed to finish my command for my Orc Boyz mob. I think they have turned out quite nicely as you can see below.


On another note if you are not aware, myself, O'Shashar and Dorn's Arrow are having a little painting competition in commemoration of getting 50 members. We have achieved this in 10 months, which I have to say I never expected so thank you all for sticking with us.

Now we came to decision that to bring in the theme of our blog it would be fitting to use a Nurgle model and after some discussion we went for the recent Nurgle Chaos Lord. I loved the look of this model as soon as I saw it and will find it a joy to paint, but I will admit it will be sad to see it go once I have it completed, but I might purchase another one just for myself ;).

I am going to try and replicate the 'Eavy Metal teams paint scheme, because I feel that it matches the model so well, I am going to make a few tweaks and obviously it wont be painted as good (as I wouldn't have my desk job that's for sure if I was). I have him sprayed and ready to start.

If you want to win one of the three Chaos Lords we will painting then get yourself signed up as a follower and as a bonus you get a second entry by posting about our competition on your blog.

Again thank you all and remember in the embrace of the great Nurgle, you will no longer be afraid, for with his pestilential favour you will become that which you once most feared: Death.

50th Follower! You Know What That Means...


That is right faithful followers of Papa Nurgle we now have our 50th follower! We thought that this is the perfect time to have a give away to thank all the people who have been following us and to possibly draw in some new faces.

When I discussed this with my fellow bloggers it was quickly decided that it would need to be one of Nurgles minions that was sent out into the wide world as our gift to the faithful. After a long look over what there was to choose from we decided on the new Nurgle Chaos Lord.


With the prize sorted we then had to decide who would be the one to paint it ( I suggested Mighty Simo as he does love him some painting ). In the end Dorn's Arrow suggested we paint one each and have the internet vote on their favourite. Now don't worry about the other two, they will not be melted down in shame. They will be given away as well! That's right three chances to win a painted Nurgle Chaos Lord.

So the gauntlet has been thrown down and from tonight we have until the 29th of February to have our model ready to go to the public vote. After a week we will know who paints the most beautiful ( or more likely gruesome ) model between us and then we will randomly pick a follower and let them have their choice of the 3 Lords. After they have claimed their prize we will do it again for second place with the choice of the two remaining and then third place will get which get the remaining model.

 
Now if you feel that one entry is not enough and that you just know luck is against you I am willing to throw you a second entry in return for posting about our give away on your own blog ( linking to this post ) and then adding a link to your post in the comments below. If you do you will be entered into the draw a second time, however to try and make it fair you can only win 1 of the 3 models.

Until next time keep spreading the world of Papa Nurgle to the masses.
