This post has been a long time coming.
Last year I went to Warhammer Fest and entered Golden Demon for the first time in I can't remember how long. I chose a Bloat Drone in the vehicle category and it was a sprint to the finish line to get him in before entries closed. It's been a long time since I tried to push myself to competition painting and I decided to use new tools like enamels and oil washes, and lots of texture and brush strokes to make a suitably Nurgly entry.
And some shots with a more atmospheric white balance. This is Nurgle, after all.
Sadly, he didn't even make finalist. Partly, I suspect this was entering on the second day, but I can see a lot that I wish I'd spent more time on. Still, I'm very proud of the floating eye. I think it gives a lot of personality to a push-fit miniature from a starter set. Oh, here's a video of him spinning:

I'm looking forward to entering again this year. Guess I should start preparing something now so it's not such a mad dash at the end. I would like to avoid transporting my painting setup with me again!
Until next time, happy painting!
