Painting the Unclean One
Updated: Feb 16, 2019
This miniature is thoroughly disgusting. With five annoying little Nurglings following him, either on his body or in the swampy mud around him, he’s got plenty of features. The mass of guts that are spilling out of his fat stomach combined with various gashes across his body to reveal the fat and muscle beneath invoke something that Nurgle epitomizes: Being absolutely revolting.

Despite that, he’s actually incredible. The horns on the miniature have minute details, every fold of fat has warts and pustules and he even has a cute little smile that just looks awful. He truly looks villainous. The color isn’t something truly extraordinary, it’s inspired by what you see on the box, but even then everyone has their own interpretations. To get the desired effect, take a look at the following:
