Age of Sigmar · Maggotkin of Nurgle
Drowned Men (Maggotkin of Nurgle) Paint List for Age of Sigmar
Sea greens, wet rust and drowned flesh, raiders pulled from the deep. Everything looks waterlogged, which is the whole idea.
Treat the armour and flesh as if they had just come out of dirty water. The bluish green and rust pairing works best when the flesh stays very desaturated.

1
Stagnant-water effects work best over a base coat that is already very matte.
2
Feel free to dirty the metal more than the skin, so the faces stay readable.
