Guest Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I originally disliked the Death Guard Greena and purple cloth, and started painting my army with the original 30k colors. Like the plague spreads across a planet, the Death Guard Green is start to grow on me. I am starting to regret going 30k scheme and wishing I went with the Death Guard Green. I am not sure if its the new pictures that are much clearer and presentable, or Nurgles Rot has addled my mind. Anyone else feel like this or is just me? Should I shift over to the Death Guard Green theme? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339637-death-guard-green/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I know the feeling... The more I look at the dex the more I'm leaning from cream to green... As BCK said, follow your fetid, shriveled and diseased heart :P Though I'm totally going to just follow one of the warbands in the colour plate pages.

Gratan Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm still debating color schemes myself while I get these models assembled. I really like the green, but there is a part of me that has always been bothered by the change in colors from their Heresy scheme to what they become. Corrupted Pre-Heresy scheme feels right. I might just end up going green as its going to be easiest to paint lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339637-death-guard-green/#findComment-4891835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyslugger Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I went with the same colours as per the boxset (Dark Imp) as I am not great at painting (so I had something to follow) and I am not the most creative either - so didn't want to try and come up with my own colour scheme. I have just made mine a tad darker with more shading (agrax and nuln oil) and kept highlights (mainly dry brushing) with Elysian green and Ogryn Camo to a lesser degree than the pictures. So overall a nice darker colour scheme (in my eyes). I have almost completed my Mortarian (highlights to do later) and I followed the green version that was shown on the warhammer community site, but again, I will do less edge highlighting (mainly because I am useless at it LOL - but it also makes the models darker in my eyes anyway). I couldn't decide on wing colour, I tried a couple of colours and couldn't settle, so green it was. Everyone is different. To me, given my limited skill set, my models look ace. To those far batter at painting they may look terrible lol Plus the spray can saves soooo much time.

Bulwyf Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Go with that makes you happy. I have some in 30k and some in 40k. I like having the mix showing the effects of Warp time to have units still fresh from the HH and those that are firmly Nurgle Green.

Checkmate77 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Having played Death Guard going on......I think it must be close to 10 years now, my painting scheme has changed over the years. (God I sound old) Anyways, my point is that I now have PM in my army that are not all exactly the same scheme. Personally I think DG is the most forgiving army in that regard. Being followers of the God of Disease, who is to say that your PM are representing different maladies that have affected their armor in different ways. Some affected by a rotting disease, others causing their bodies to ooze puss and slime, etc. Bottom Line, I agree with everyone else that you should paint your army as you see fit, but in the end I don't see anything wrong with a DG army that has multiple (diseased) color schemes.

Shockmaster Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Paint them how you personally like, I ended up going with a more traditional look but not the actual Death Guard green.

Mack Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I also think a few original pale color figures mixed in has it's merits. Maybe shows that a few original armor suits survived the last 10 years as the rest of the vectoriums color changed as new marines were added, corrupted etc...

Lord Marshal Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) I'm in a similar position. I originally loathed the (new) green scheme, given it was too bright and too clean. I opted to go for the Heresy-era scheme instead, but I still couldn't make up my mind. After looking at a lot of people doing the Heresy-era scheme though it's lost a lot of it's appeal. I absolutely love the look of it on 30k models, but I feel like the new DG models are just too 'busy' for the white-ish colour to really work? The varying colours of gore, tentacles and maggots seem to blend really poorly with the white on most of the examples I've seen, whether it's excellent painters or even the Pallid Hand from the codex, the white/unpainted ceramite looks best when the effects are subtle, which don't work quite as well with GIANT FLOPPY PURPLE TENTACLE or OOZING YELLOWISH SORE with REDDISH INFECTED FLESH all on one model y'know?

Checkmate77 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 @Lord Marshal I am not so sure about that. I agree that the 30K look of the DG was awesome, but I think it would be a great representation of the Death Guard's fall to have a DG painted with the original scheme, but show the open, rust crusted/slimy breaks in his armor depicting his corruption. I think you would have to be a better painter than I to pull it off, but I think if done correctly it would look awesome!

It would take a very skilled painter to pull it off, but I agree it would look great. My original though was the origianl scheme, but I'm just not good enough to pull it off, so thus why I made it ok for the Champion I have to still be white while the rest are green (see my prior post, this is how I justified the one white guy :D) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339637-death-guard-green/#findComment-4892009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closet Skeleton Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Death Guard Green is a good base paint to use washes on to paint quickly. Otherwise its not a great base colour. I used it for highlights. The 3rd edition Death Guard scheme is quite pale on 40% of the model, there's just a lot more tonal range and dirt. Strongly weathered DGG would probably look good if you want to put in more effort than the Duncan tutorials.

Shockmaster Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I went for Straken Green with a heavy Agrax Earthshade wash followed by Death Guard Green for the highlights, pleased with the results.

Xin Ceithan Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I am kind of in the same spot. My old scheme is brownish yellow but would like add some the dark green plate. And while we are on the subject, does anyone have a clue as to the dark green armor on p. 113 of the Codex?

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 There is no pg 113, at least not on the digital codex. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/339637-death-guard-green/#findComment-4892307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xin Ceithan Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Says pg 113 on my pad, enhanced edition. ?! It's a four spread with a plaquebearer on the upper left and three DG in a dark green plate with bluish highlights.

Guidebot Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I painted up a few tester models in the Pallid Hand scheme. I didn't really like my results, so now I am doing a scheme in green and I gotta say... these models just suit green so well. So I guess I did switch from white to green too. No regrets yet...

Fhanados Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Mine are a rusty brown colour, but ever since someone mentioned that the new models reminded them of Naxxramis from World of Warcraft I have the urge to go bright purple and green...

Wayniac Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Nope I still don't like the green. I am sticking with the dirty white not quite bone or cream whatever the 30k colors are. I do however I wonder how it would look to just paint the armor with nurgle's rot so they look slimy.
