The Deathshroud are coming along nicely. Hopefully they will have a Primarch to escort round in a months' time. So far they have been a delight to paint, and it has been a pleasure getting back to the Death Guard.
Hi Silverback. If you click on Pre-Heresy Death Guard tag on the left you will see all my painting conquests. Short answer though: Get a test mini or spray a piece of leftover Resin block etc white. Skull white is good but make sure you get a nice smooth coat. Then get Seraphim Sepia and Lahmian. Mix together the two pots and label up as 2 Death Guard mix pots. Cover the white test piece with this wash. Try to do it quick and plate at a time or you may get tide marks as you do with all washes. Then on a pallet put some white scar paint and Lahmian medium next to each other. You want to thin it a lot and slowly bring it up to the highest point on each plate. It takes time but that is the official FW scheme too. Just practice getting a subtle transition from sepia to almost pure white. Vehicles are a different matter. Look at my Medusa painting guide for advice on them. Believe me it is lovely and easy.
As I have said before it is all your fault I have this to do. I was one of the guys at WHW at the last doubles weekend who saw your models and decided to enter 30k. I am looking forward to painting such a stand out army, I think I have near 4,000pts to do!
Cheers and well done on a great blog I look at every day.
Awesome. Loved chatting to you guys! Always nice to spend time with like minded hobbyists! Hopefully if Warhammer world do a massacre event this year you can try to make it. We were there at the Betrayal Weekender and it was awesome.
Hi
ReplyDeleteHow did you get that effect on the armour? I am currently halfway through the great death guard stick together and the painting starts soon.
Any guidance appreciated
Thanks.

DeleteYou going to the Horus Heresy Weekender?
I didn't get a ticket for the weekender so I will be monitoring your reports!
