I still feel like he isnt finished, some hyper detailing is all I can come up with, please however, be a little gentle with me, I havent submitted a sculpt before, and this is my first ever nurgly thing :)

Oh, I don't think you need to worry, it's a good first submission. Very nurgley. I would like to see a close up of the side of the head and the DP's back, if possible.

The hard part with Nurgle and Orcs/Orks is it's really hard to know how it will paint up but the head is always a focal point so some extra detail/care there should pay off. You could angle the head to follow where the gun is shooting (left), maybe add some ridges between the eye sections (define those segments, don't need eyelashes and lids but some flesh/armour between might be cool) or add some crevices (define them, making them look like a soccer ball).

Did you add the chaos symbols on the left arm and/or the chest? They might could use ... something. Maybe cracks, gouges, radiating fractures (as if Nurgle whipped out his pocket knife and cut up the prince when he recruited/promoted him) or ridges and torn outward/smashed inward armour panels or some leaking blood and guts...tendrils etc. There's lots going on so leaving it simple/subtle, less complicated, probably not a bad thing, if that's the intention.

These are all more options instead of improvements I'm suggesting. Best of luck.

looks good to me. Like you said just need to add some hyper details like boils ect. one thing I have always thought would look cool is to sculpt flies onto the skin.

Thankyou guys, some really good pointers there and I'll certainly bear them in mind. you are right the head needs more work, and he was supposed to be following the weapon, just between thinking it up and executing it that bit got lost..

as to bugs on the skin, while i was working on a leg i did scupt a maggotty louse type thing on his leg, but it just looked cheesy so it came off. I think you'd need to be a better sculptor than me, and do it very very small to pull it off :)

anyway, thanks again, I'll try and post some more pics once he's finished and primed, then get to paint, as I feel the paint will make or break this model ultimately.
