MechaMan Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 Starting to paint up my death korps kill teams in anticipation for the new box set. I want to paint them in the colours of the 158th regiment (may they rest in penal legion peace). I've settled on colours for the greatcoat and most other elements but can't quite decide on the trousers ("pants") or the gas mask. Can anyone help me identify the colours in the official 'eavy metal scheme. There's an official youtube channel video, but it uses Death Korps Drab (a green) whereas the ones in the box art seem more brown to me?

bloodhound23 Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 Looks like Dryad Bark to me, but don't quote me. I would say Rhinox HIde, but it looks less warm, hence why I say Dryad Bark.

Anon Posted December 11 Share Posted December 11 (edited) The color of the trousers look more like Stormvermin Fur (grey with brownish tint) to me with a thinned wash of agrax earthshade over it.

Thanks! Going to try dryad bark first, if that doesn’t work I’ll get Stormvermin Fur. What would you use to highlight?

MithrilForge Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 For Dryad bark I'd do my first Highlight with Gorthor Brown then an extreme highlight of Karak stone...
