nurgling6688 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hey everyone. I painted this guy up as a distraction from my many painting projects including my more traditional Death Guard. It was more an attempt to do as little as possible with highlights and being precise with layering and see what I could get away with by using washes and weathering powders. I am not doing anything further with this scheme at the moment but if you want a tutorial let me know. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/preheresy.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/preheresy2.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/prehersy3.jpg Comments and crit welcome.

Hyaenidae Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Not bad, man. I like the streaking and rust effects, though I'm a bit thrown off by the eyes. The yellow just looks odd to me. Now stop BS'ing, and get back to work on your Astral Claws... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260309-random-heresy-era-death-guard/#findComment-3167685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Underbelly Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Really characterful and I love the naturalness and muted tones. I don't think the eyes are working at the moment but I also don't have any suggestion either. I looked at this figure zoomed out and I have to say your workmanship is excellent.

nurgling6688 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hey everyone, thanks for all the feedback. I went with yellow eyes because thats what I did on my green Death Guard. As for a tutorial I will break down the main colors. The White Base coat Dheneb Stone Wash Devlan Mud Layer Rotting Flesh leaving the shaded Dheneb Stone in the recesses. It wasn't too solid of a coat which was fine with me as it made it look slightly dirty. I just made sure the brush strokes were going vertically so it looks like its "dripping". Highlight with Rotting Flesh/Skull White mix. I then used washes of: 1. Devlan Mud 2. Devlan Mud/Thraka Green mix 3. Casandora Yellow 4. Vermin Brown These were painted on selectively and usually to look like it was dripping. The Metal Base coat Boltgun Metal Wash heavily with Devlan Mud Quickly highlight with Chainmail around edges Wash selectively with Vermin Brown to simulate rust The Green Base coat with Catachan Green Wash with Devlan Mud Highlight with Catachan Green/Rotting Flesh The Rust I used Forge World Rust weathering powder and applied it liberally to all of the metal areas and selectively to everywhere else I also used some FW Black Soot weathering powder around the backpack exhausts.
