recon0321 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I see a lot of different death guard colors schems and I am struggling to find a happy medium between mixing paints and a easy good looking scheme please post your recipes brothers and sisters.... My first thought has been rakarth flesh and Palid witch flesh over that....it's the ceramite color I ak having a hard time with I got a good idea for the green Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302230-death-guard-color-schemes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I'd go for a Bone Color / Off-white for the...well..white Parts, personally. Hopefully someone like Atia can chime in soon.. though in the mean time, this is from her WIP Thread : http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291212-atias-horus-heresy-thread-firedrake-terminators-wip/?p=3756771 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302230-death-guard-color-schemes/#findComment-3925148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Atia is a God as far as I am concerned I don't think I could match that level of awesome...that's why I said I think palid witch flesh would give a more white color?

Slips Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Personally, I'd go with Screaming Skull or Ushabti Bone. You want it a pretty dirty white for Death Guard; itll also make weathering easier.

recon0321 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Would rakarth flesh still be a good base color then? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302230-death-guard-color-schemes/#findComment-3925163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 you could use Forgeworlds suggested recipe: Forgeworld Durty White: 1. Undercoat with Skull White spray; 2. Wash with 50/50 mix of Seraphim Sepia and Lahmian Medium; 3. Highlight with White Scar mixed with Lahmian Medium. haven't tried it, but it's far easier than my mixed scheme :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302230-death-guard-color-schemes/#findComment-3925166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 But Atia yours are so much better than FW! Maybe I should just attempt glory and barrow yours? Anyone use P3 paints they have some nice white type colors Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302230-death-guard-color-schemes/#findComment-3925203 Share on other sites More sharing options...

recon0321 Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I really wish I had the cash for the HH books...so Zandri dust as a base any ideas for a layer?

Slips Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Ushabti Bone with Skull White Highlights? Just work up from the bone colors. Maybe mix some white into Ushabti if its too beige for your tastes.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If you're going with the white DG scheme, I never had all that much luck with the whole building up to white from darker colors thing. Maybe I'm a crappy painter, I dunno, but it was always easier for me to reverse that and start with bright white(sprayed or airbrushed) and add shading, leaving the highlights as the bright untouched paint.

God-Potato of Mankind Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I've never painted Deathguard, but I saw somebodies minis on Saturday and they look AMAZEBALLS. It was Base of Zandri Dust Ulthuan Gray White Scar highlights Sepia wash There was some mixing...I think Ulthuan Grey was mixed with White at increasing ratios. But they looked ace.

Atia Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 ATIA when you mix your paints do you have them in a dropper or spare pot? i use a dropper and a mix-palett^^ http://img3.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/20150119131618wv3nj1pcse.jpg Ushabti Bone with Skull White Highlights? Just work up from the bone colors. Maybe mix some white into Ushabti if its too beige for your tastes. the main part of the death guard scheme is the weathering .... you just need a white/boney colour to build your weathering up :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302230-death-guard-color-schemes/#findComment-3925596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 It's whether you want to paint it, and weather it heavily, or still maintain that egg-shell/off-white colour. I personally weather heavily, with a variation of this colour scheme by my good man nurglephill: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162940-stripey-white-plague-marine-tutorial/ I use this for both pre- and post-heresy models, all working to that tarnished pre-heresy scheme.

recon0321 Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Ok well I just went thru my paints I do have ulthuan grey haha...I think I might tweak Atia's receipe and omit the fenrisian grey...50/50 zandri dust to Ulthuan grey....

DuskRaider Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 My Death Guard paint scheme is as follows (just going the basics, not technical): White Armor: Base of Ushabti Bone Wash of Agrax Earthshade Drybrush of Ushabti Bone Light Drybrush of Pallid Wychflesh Green Armor: Base of Loren Forest Wash of Agrax Earthshade Drybrush of Elysian Green Trim: Warplock Bronze Multiple washes of Nuln Oil That's the basic gyst of it without getting into rusting and chipping effects, etc. You can check out my stuff on my Photobucket, pics aren't the best but I think you get the idea.
