captain_shrike Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So I return after 18 months or so totally cut off from the hobby to find a whole load of new paints, which unfortunately seeing as the main colour for my Storm Giants is Rotting Flesh, has put me in a spot of bother. If you don't know the Storm Giants colour scheme, take a look at Marius Perdo's Doom Fist's, who use pretty much the same colour scheme. Using the old colours the scheme would be a black undercoat, followed by a Gretchin Green basecoat, a layer of Rotting Flesh and a wash of Devlan Mud. Now the Gretchin Green would be replaced by Deathworld Forest I believe, but I have no clue on the Rotting Flesh or Devlan Mud wash. Any help would be much appreciated :blush: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255590-painting-storm-giants/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Nurgling Green and Agrax Earthshade, according to the conversion chart. http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Custom...onversion_Chart Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255590-painting-storm-giants/#findComment-3110584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_shrike Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 For some reason neither me or the guy who works in my local GW could find Rotting Flesh on the conversion chart. Haha. Cheers.

Lucien Eilam Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It took me a while too. I remembered Rotting Flesh as more a greyish-brown than a green. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255590-painting-storm-giants/#findComment-3110747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_shrike Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Yeah in the pot it looks off green. Once on a model its a sort of pale yellowy colour.

hmk17 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Be very careful looking at the splotches for the new Citadel line, those things are off by good bit. It's really a good idea to splotch your old color on a index card and find the match while looking at the paints in the store. Vallejo still makes their Game color line (based on the old GW line) so Rotting Flesh / Dead Flesh and Gretchin Green / Heavy Khaki are pretty close; if you don't mind swapping brands and can find Vallejo. From the Warp & Mordian 7th did a look into the washes. Agrax Earthshade is pretty freaking close (plus it flows much better along with not smelling horrible), the new Strong Tone Quickshade (in 18ml dropper bottle) from Army Painter was virtually identical in color.
