Really good.  Nurgle minis are great and you've done justice to this one.  Minor suggestion: add some gloss varnish to the pink bits to get a slimy, internal organs look?

Yep, really nice. I like the colour of the blade. Maybe you could add some few green-grey, hence.

Marell can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean by add green-grey. Do you have any picture examples? I'm always keen to improve my rusty swords as I can never get them as realistic as I would like.

Cheers

The Green-grey is the result of the oxydation of the bronze.

See here on the legs for example.

Until recently, I did not realise this, but the word for what you are saying is "verdigris"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdigris

GW have a paint for it called "Nihilakh oxide" but it is rather bright and more difficult to use than a wash.  Myself I have used that on my Chaos Warrior armour but previously I used a thinned down Hawk Turquoise or Temple Guard Blue which is a bit darker / subtler.
