Mortarion Grime is a dirty, yellow-brown shade wash from the Citadel range, named after Mortarion - the Daemon Primarch of the Death Guard and the architect of Nurgle's plague campaigns in the 41st Millennium. Applied over a dried basecoat, it flows into recesses and surface detail, leaving a grimy, brackish yellow-brown shadow that creates the look of disease, rot, and accumulated filth across the model surface.
The shade is the essential Nurgle paint. Applied over Death Guard Green or other Nurgle basecoats as a full-model wash, Mortarion Grime produces the diseased, plague-stained appearance that defines Death Guard Space Marines, Nurgle daemons, Plague Monks, and Maggotkin of Nurgle models from a single step. Beyond Nurgle, the shade works on parchment and vellum effects - documents, scrolls, and ancient text details shade convincingly with Mortarion Grime over Ushabti Bone or Rakarth Flesh, producing aged, yellowed paper without requiring blending. Brass and aged bronze metallics take on a corroded quality under the shade. Weathered bones, ancient stonework, and any surface that should read as old, neglected, or corroded benefit from the yellow-brown grime tone.
