Reasonable Commissar Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I was thinking of getting some Deathguard to go with my Emps Children for an STD themed army and I was wondering if anyone had some good tips or colour schemes to do the per heresy DG colours? Ive looked at the FW guide which has the base being a white spray and and then some watered down sepia ink but Im a bit unsure about this.

hisdudeness Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 For my World Eaters I used a white primer, then a off white base (Testors grey camouflage). I then used a very watered down white to cover the base coat. For the shadows, I made a custom wash using the technical medium mixed with nuln and earthshade washes. This makes a very thin wash that dries pretty clear (more staining than coloring) where thin but dark where it pools. For DG I would go more on the earthshade to get the brown to show more.

Reasonable Commissar Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 For my Apothecaries Ive gone white with some watered down nuln oil which seems ok but with the DG they seem a bit of a strange colour between orange and brown. I might have to do a couple with agrax and sepia on them and see which comes out better but was planning on getting some Deathshroud which arent the best models to be experimenting on.

DuskRaider Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Mortis, are you using the sponge technique for your wear and damage? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281611-death-guard-colour-scheme/#findComment-3489500 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reasonable Commissar Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 They look really good. I might get another 5 dudes from FW and just use a couple to practice on before I get some more. I would of done DG for my main instead of EC but didnt fancy painting them but I love having Nurgle and doing Nurgle and Slaanesh invites lots of STD jokes.
