Another half-dozen figures from the 7 Sins Kickstarter today. In this case some fleshy little grubs from the “Greed” faction. As with most of the others, I’ve painted them with the Warhammering in mind. So once again, I’ll just quote myself from a month or two ago – I’m not sure what the “official” paint scheme for these is supposed to be, but let’s face it – I gave (and give) zero fucks about the lore of this particular box of miniatures with a game shoehorned onto it. When I first saw them on the Kickstarter page, I had the very thought that stayed with them to conclusion. Proxy Blue Horrors of Tzeentch.
Ass, Ass Baby…
Despite their appearance, these models were not painted with GW’s Contrast Paints – they were painted with 2 layers of washes over a pale, fleshy bascoat, though – so essentially the same process. And much the same process I used for many of the not-Nurgle Gluttony guys from 7 Sins as well. Oh, and have I mentioned Vagina Dentata in this post yet? Because, well, just look at their “faces”.
I know there’s the whole “if that’s what you keep seeing, then the issues are with you, not me” argument to be made about a great many things, but my counter to that, is where there’s smoke and also a whole lot of flames coming out of almost every window, then I recon there might just be a fire in there…
I’ve still got both the Avatar and Controller to finish for this next faction to be complete. I suspect that some more Contrast Paint experiemnts might be in store..?
Azazel's Bitz Box. 
Another nice bunch of beasties mate !

I think they make great blue horror proxies, remind me of one of the previous horror releases. Great work on the painting as always

I only ever had a few of the original metals. I’ll have to fish them all out and do a bunch of Tzeentch models sometime. The question is (outside of SIlver Tower) should I finsh all my Nurgle Daemons first? (and actually complete a faction/army?)

There is definitely a female genitalia thing going on here so I reckon going for blue was a wise choice.

Yeah, avoiding the flesh/pink/purple palette was a wise move here.

They’re brilliant (and that’s not just the blue)! Mean looking little beggars as well! Like’em!

Thanks John! The hope is they they’re unnatural enough looking for the blue to have worked for people who aren’t Warhammer peeps. 🙂

The blue washes have worked really well on those.
Cheers,

Thanks Pete! They were a bit of an experiment in doing the wash-painting with a strong non-fleshy colour.

These look fantastic and are quite the creepy little sculpts! I agree with what’s said above that these could make an excellent Blue Horrors replacement as these are much more unsettling. Well done!

I have to say when I first saw the render, I just thought “horrors” and didn’t yet pick up on the …other aspect of ’em. Onc they’re mixed in (and I’ve, you know, actually *painted* some horrors, they’ll probably just blend into the pack.)

Haha, yeah. Maybe that is why GW’s horrors are less horrific 😉 I think that is a great plan and mixing them together should look really nice.

Ha! I’ve got a bunch of secondhand legit horrors to repaint at some stage, so I’ll have to go through them and see how bad the mould lines and joins are done, and then give them a run of the same painting…

Nice work, especially avoiding the fleshy palette you described. I would imagine the sculptor has quite a few mommy issues perhaps?

That, or ex-girlfriend/wife issues, or perhaps too much (not enough?) exposure to hardcore pornography? 😮
