Bit rough on the old feathering, a few places could do with a scratch or two to mask the colour change. Edge highlighting will be done once the other areas are bulked in.
I'm reasonably happy with him now. Reduce the photos down to postage stamp size and the light placement looks pretty good!

Fox, that looks great! Toned down the shininess from previously but still left in a little bit of glint. I like, I like a lot!

Now you see knocking it down brought a realistic shine to it... Not to clean but noticeably shiny enough for a nurgle patron!!!! Well done

Thanks guys. The green armour was a bit bright, and I'm glad I listened to all the feedback.
Got to love these forums!

Did you seal the base first? I hear that also helps prevent yellowing s the bicarb can pull colour up from the base, either way I think in this case a bit of dirty snow fits as it's well trodden

Yeah, everything's got a heavy coat of matte varnish over it. I knew bicarb could yellow, but I wouldn't have expected it to overnight. The bases have just had another coat of snow applied over the top regardless

Yeah overnight is a bit fast, the space wolf guy from my gallery still shows no yellowing and it's been nearly a year

Nurgle marine is coming on in leaps and bounds Fox, metals are a great balance between the highlights and a nurgley dirge.

regarding the bicarb....I've only ever used model snow powder so can't be a help unfortunately.

I'm a bit late but the Nurgle armor really does look fantastic. Such smooth transitions. I've never liked Nurgle that much but you're making me second-guess that! In regards to snow, I've heard that kind of mixture yellows over time like others who have already chimed in. Have you tried any modeling solutions that are out there? I don't have any experience with them but I know there are products out there for snow and ice that might avoid the yellowing problem. I've often thought I want to do some snowy bases or terrain just because snowy stuff looks cool so I applaud your experimentation and look forward to seeing how it goes!

Could it be that the bicarbonate absorbed some of the pigments from the paint below it? I've never seen a yellowing problem going that fast... (I hadn't used snow on a base neither, so...)

Thanks a lot everyone! Pretty sure it's like Toy Story, where the wolves come alive when I'm out of the room and relieve themselves on the bases.
Maenas, the base is sealed pretty well so I doubt it's the pigment. Kuribo, I'll get round to trying crushed glass instead of bicarb at some point.

Fixed it a bit now at least.
