Green Slimy Nurgle Water

[mutantpotato]

I am currently working on a mounted Nurgle Lord (still in the modelling phase). I think it would look cool to have that green slimy water on his base.

I have never made water effects before so I need some tips and advice.

GW\'s water-effects stuff works well and looks pretty good, it\'s possible to add layer upon layer to build up thisckness, adding color and effect (dirt, muck whatever) between layers or simply by stirring color (inks or paints) and effect into each layer. I\'ve never tried modelling it, though, so I can\'t give any advice on that. Basically, the idea is that each layer is self-levelling, so I\'m not even sure if modelling it would work.

I did just see a seascape diorama advertising electrical transmission cables for use in sea-based windmill parks. The sea was sone in some water-effects medium that allowed her to model the waves, even to add crests --looked really good.

She bought the medium here in Copenhagen, so it is available in Scandinavia -- if you\'re interested, I\'ll get the name of the product from her.

I\'ve used 2-part epoxy with just the tiniest drip of paint in it for liquid like this. I suppose keeping it from overflowing the base edges would be the challenge...

I\'ve heard, but never tried, that just some plain white glue with a drop of green ink in it could be a easy way to do it.

It could be done with White Glue, but it would take many layers to get to a nice, solid level. I make swamp bases all the time. My entire Cryx army has/is going to have these swamp bases. I also use them for Nurgle mini\'s. Very easy to do with some cork plates, Woodland Scenics Realistic Water and some vegatation like Long Grass and Foilage Clusters. Basically I under the base black. Drybrush it with VMC Basalt Grey>VMC Neutral Grey>VMC Light Grey. Than basecoat the water VMC Black Green and highlight by adding VMC Olive Green, working from the outsite to the insite of the base. Than fill the base with some Realistic Water and let it cure for 24 hours. Usually it takes 2 layers to get a nice, equal water base. Here are some examples:

Thanks for all the great tips.
I\'ll post the mini when it is finished, though it may take some time to finish it

you can use pva glue as it dries slowly you can shape it to any effect you like, with nurgle try try snot green with darkgreen washes
