Blessed Sons (Maggotkin of Nurgle) Paint List for Age of Sigmar

intermediate Maggotkin of Nurgle

Rotting green, dirty bronze, and infected flesh. A coherent starter palette for Blessed Sons without diluting its visual identity.

The look comes from simple coats and then a lot of grime work. Don't try to highlight everything cleanly: on Nurgle, texture and washes are the charm.

Recommended undercoat grey — Several priority paints in this army converge on grey.
