Gorzag Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) Hello, First, sorry for my english, I'm French (from Le Mans). I would to present to you my Death Guard army. The Sons of the East Terminus. I've just finished to paint it. I try to play a fluff an equilibrated list. There is a lot of Forgeworld inside. As I wanted to advance quickly, I've used "dipping" technic (but I use a brush to control the result). I've tryed to choose good colors and dilute a lot, because it's important. - 1 Daemon Prince - 1 Greater Daemon - 3x7 Plague Marines (2 Rhinos) - 2x7 Plaguebearers - 3 Termis - 1 Dreadnought The global army : http://img5.hostingpics.net/pics/491376armeeglo.jpg Test for color scheme : http://img5.hostingpics.net/pics/755427test_lasure.jpg Plagues Marines : http://img5.hostingpics.net/pics/429885IMGP1026.jpg http://img5.hostingpics.net/pics/966780IMGP1030.jpg http://img5.hostingpics.net/pics/266796DGD.jpg http://img5.hostingpics.net/pics/305195DGB.jpg Of of the two Rhinos : http://img5.hostingpics.net/pics/364096rhino1.jpg Plaguebearers : http://img2.hostingpics.net/pics/872867portp1.JPG http://img2.hostingpics.net/pics/428208portp2.JPG Edited January 4, 2010 by Gorzag Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154224-my-french-death-guard-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPetersson Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Obviously I will have to say traitor scum :-p But damn, they look really good. Much better than most 'dipped' models I've seen.

Marek Grimfang Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 How 'bout a quick tutorial? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154224-my-french-death-guard-army/#findComment-1799548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorzag Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) Thanks a lot for your comments. It's encouraging. How 'bout a quick tutorial? I try to explain the technique : 1- Undercoat necessarily with white. 2- Choose colors which can be good with the product (sorry, I don't know how to say "lasure" in english). For example in my case, camo green for the armour, mithril silver for metallic parts, red gore for blood or wounds. It's very important to dilute a lot these different colors as if you use a "lavis". 3- I make some touching up. 4 - I use matt varnish because the product gives an bright effect. Sorry for my english, I hope you'll understand this tutorial ^^.

Gresiloth Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Superb work Gorzag! That looks like a very economical but effective approach to painting. I particularly like your use of the wooden shields on the Rhino - wood really suits Nurgle! What do you plan to add to the army next?

Muskie Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 You dipped an all resin army, that sounds like something someone from Vancouver would do, eh Doc? They look good, very uniform which is a think one of the strengths of the dip method. Mercenary painters are going to be out of work... Or at least people who paint dark and dreary, brighter colors don't dip as well I'm led to believe. But in the grim darkness of the future, there is only dark colored armies. You could write the tutorial en Francais and someone with better French than I could translate it. Bablefish might do a better job than me. Good to know the recession hasn't reached France yet. ;-) I'd say something clever in French but my brain is broken.

Askari Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Wow, I usually don't like the look of nurgle stuff but this is amazing. This looks like something i would expect to see on display somewhere. Forgeworld +with amazing painting skills= beautiful army!

Gorzag Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 You could write the tutorial en Francais and someone with better French than I could translate it. Ok, ere we go for a french tutorial : "1 - Sous-couche blanche. 2 - Choisir des couleurs qui se marieront bien avec la lasure (dans mon cas, camo green pour l'armure, mithril silver pour les parties métalliques, red gore pour le sang et les blessures,...). A noter que des teintes de marron passent bien aussi. 3 - Bien diluer les aplats, de sorte que l'on voit légèrement la sous-couche par transparence. La lasure viendra renforcer ce contraste, un peu comme le ferait un "super lavis". 4 - Bien choisir sa lasure, à savoir la moins "complexe" possible (éviter les produits proposant trop de protection), un produit d'entrée de gamme fera l'affaire. 5 - Pour ma part, j'applique la lasure au pinceau (je ne pratique pas de trempage) afin de mieux contrôler le produit. 6 - Attendre que le produit sèche bien. 7 - Faire les éventuelles retouches. 8 - Passer du vernis mat afin d'atténuer l'effet brillant de la lasure." NB : n'hésitez pas à faire des tests avant de vous lancer avec cette méthode dans une armée complète. What do you plan to add to the army next? I used to play at 1500 pts so this army is normally complete but I plan to add one or two things like a sorcerer for example.
