Brother_Ovis Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Recently I've started a new project - Nurgle Death Guard army. Having painted only loyalist marines up to now and dealing with smooth, flat surfaces and strong colours I feel a bit intimidated by this task - especially that I have literally zero experience with dirty greens, greys and browns. That's why I would hugely appreciate any tips as to which Citadel paints and washes should I try to get the grey-green colour such as here: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/xlarge/Nurgdread4.jpg If I had to guess I'd say it's a whitish undercoat covered with some layers of green and grey washes, but I'm sure there's a lot of DG players out there who can spare me tedious experiments and set me on a right path :) Thanks in advance.

M33TGRINDER Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 well i thik just about every DG player has thier own way of doing it but a quick one i used to paint my lil bros sqaud was this.... 1 prime black 2- paint base colors armor- gretchin green metal- chainmail horns- deneb stone flesh- 50/50 gretchin green/astro grey 3- wash model with devlin mud, sometimes you might need 2 washes on the armor to get more of a distressed look 4-layering otherwashes armor-gretchin green and then 50/50 gretchin green/rotting flesh metal-chain mail horns-deneb stone then 50/50 deneb stone/bleached bone flesh-layer with rotting flesh then light was of baal red around cuts and over pustules. for large cuts and stuff a light wash around the reddend area with hormaguant purple looks good. 5- highlighting armor- 75/25 gretchin green/rotting flesh metal- mithril silver on edges or areas likely to be most recenlty used/scuffed from movement or combat horns- bleached bone flesh- highlight with rotting flesh other effects- stiple (light dabbing with tip of brush) and mixture of 50/50 scorched brown/fiery orange or similar rusty color around and on the brownish areas the wash made to look more rusty im no master painter and tend to just paint to have a painted army but i believe this is an easy way to paint. i dont have pictures but there are many tutorials online that are for death guard. just gotta google Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223664-death-guard-colors-help-please/#findComment-2674725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debauchery101 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 i would check out the legio morbidus forum on bolterandchainsword. but the above seems like a rather simple and similar way i see others paint. also GW does have a few tutorials as well which are pretty simple.
