I finished the battle standard for Tamurkhan's Horde (for some reason, I'm going to play the other side!) and tried to put the blightkings bits to good use to make a Nurgle sorcerer, I'm not sure if he looks "wizardy" enough though? I not sure if I should add some brown and orange rust patches to the battle standard's armour. Also the skin colour was meant to be pale with a greenish tinge, however being colour blind I've got no idea whether i managed to mix the colours right at all! Everything does look less washed out in person, i really need to get some better lights for taking pics.

I'm not generally a Nurgle fan, but both look good. I like the black armour on them, as against the green armour most Nurgle warriors are seen in. The flesh isn't particularly green, but the tone you've got looks good.
If you want a dirty effect on the armour, watered down Skrag Brown in the recesses/rust holes works really well on black armour.

I think he looks wizardly enough.

Finally finished the 10 forsaken I started back in November, I ran out of steam halfway through and then didn't do any painting for about 6 weeks. They are basically a mix of blood warriors, spare spawn bits and spare blightkings bits. They look a bit messy but then maybe mutated warriors should!

The Forsaken look great! That mass of tentacles and weird appendages is awesome. Shame the original kit is gone but you found a way around that.

They look suitably warped and as Naisabes said you done a great job getting round the fact the kit is no longer available. I still think forsaken were under appreciated in 8th. I was always a big fan of them.

I would dare saying they look 10x better than the original forsaken. The BSB and wizard look suitably gruesome, well done!

They look way less goofy than the out of box Forsaken

I never realised there were official forsaken models, they look ok but certainly not good enough to justify the £50-£90 they go for on ebay!

I finished 3 dragon ogres to add to these 3 that a mate of mine left at my house over 20 years ago- I tried to keep the paint scheme similar so they'd look ok in a unit together I enjoyed doing these way more than anything else i've painted recently, i think i just prefer that era a minis as they're a bit chunkier and less intricate. Next up i was going to paint my cauldron of blood but am having trouble getting hold of the right sized base for it, then i was going to paint my tullaris dreadbringer proxy but just dropped that on the floor and snapped 2 bits off it and have no super glue. So it'll now be a choice between the 2 other things i have primed, either eltharion on griffon or my remaining 8 witch elves

Nice work, I really like those old sculpts. They go together well!

I've always loved the look and concept of Dragon Ogres and Shaggoths. I really don't understand why they aren't a part of the Beastmen army. That just seems so much more appropriate. I might just have to switch them over for my games.
Great looking unit!

If i remember right back in whatever edition beastmen were split off from chaos warriors they still had dragon ogres in their list, not sure why they got removed seem as they do seem to fit in with them

with respect to the thread title, I will say that your models are decidedly above average. Maybe time to rename? Annals of awesome artistry?
