Lords of Decay colour scheme

[Emperor's Furor]

I'm looking for different schemes for nurgle armies and came across this white looking scheme, is it white or would palid wych flesh work?

I'd say Pallid Wych Flesh with a white drybrush would do the job :tu:

I think what's important if you're going for a scheme like that is that it's a pretty "cold" white, even if it is also dirty. I think that's what makes it look so nasty, the coldness of it.

 

I think Pallid Wych Flesh is a good starting point, but make sure you drybrush/highlight to white and when adding dirt avoid the "warmer" nuances. 

 

My own Death Guard are whiteish (I'm going for the preheresy colour scheme with added grime and goop, as I think it looks good and stands out more than green). What I did was start from a base of Vallejo Desert Sand primer, then Rakarth Flesh, Pallid Wych Flesh (and then, when I get the time I'll add highlights of pure white, which ought to make them colder and more "evil" looking). There was a wash of either Seraphim Sepia or "Soft Tone" wash from Army Painter.

I think they look good, but in hindsight I'd have liked them to look "colder".

 

Edit: added a picture. The Bastogne packet in the background is so you can compare the colours (yeah, that's *totally* it)

Right, so I'm planning on starting with a black base coat, then do a layer of rakarth flesh, then palid wyrch flesh and then small wash of one of the green washes, perhaps camoshade or corelia greenshade in the recesses? then a final highlight of white. Then to dirty it up add some typhus corrosion and a bit of ryza rust?

Why start with a black undercoat for such light colours?

I'd say that the scheme in the OP looks like a bone colour highlighted up to near white, maybe a very thin brown or dark sepia wash at some stage. Certainly not seeing any kind of green wash at any point.

Put that layer of Rakarth Flesh on by either spraying it from the top with an airbrush or drybrushing it from the top only. There you have some half-decent pre-shading at worst, and have answered sockwithaticket's question already. Difficult to achieve a scheme like you showed, with deep shades in the recesses and overall muted colors, on a plain white undercoat. I'd advise to prime black.

 As someone who paints a lot of white and parchment on majority black or other models (hence a black undercoat makes sense), I find taking light down to dark is usually preferable to building it up from dark.
