chymz Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I've found there are 2 schools of though when it comes to painting Plauge Marine armour: very pale green & darker brown/green. I prefer the darker colour-scheme as it looks more "rotten". I found a quick n dirty way that works well if you're doing "darker" plague maries: 1 base coat in Chaos black spray 2 paint all the armour in knarloc green foundation paint (1 coat - really easy) 3 ink wask 20%brown ink, 20% flesh wash, 60%water all over the green areas. 4 highlight raised armour in rotting flesh Then just do your fine detail however you like. Here's a quick pic to give you an idea (as you can tell, I'm NOT a master painter! lol) http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/5190/dsc01622iu6.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infestus Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I do mine like this: Basecoat Deck Tan+Olive Green+Desert Yellow+Black(2:2:1:1) Highlight add Desert Yellow Highlight add Deck Tan Hightlight add more Deck Tan Highlight pure Deck Tan for the edges of the armour Glaze Dark Green Examples: WIP Deamon Prince http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/jeroendiks/DeamonPrince1.jpg Plague Champion http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/jeroendiks/PlagueMarine5.jpg Dreads http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/jeroendiks/Fotos-0013.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiggoth Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Mine are - Basecoat Scortched Brown - Wash with Chaos Black - Highlight Graveyard Earth - Highlight Kommando Khaki - Highlight Bleached Bone - And then play around with all kinds of green, brown, red, blue and purple washes to make them look manky and bruised http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a285/squiggothnurgle/Plaguemarines/IconWhiteSquad001s.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I agree about using the search function... I've painted a plaguemarine or 150 plaguemarines in my time. Lets just say I've tried a lot of things... If you're looking for that really pale grey/green color and you are only using GW colors than rotting flesh is the key. I'm a big fan of washes, but to keep things pale the only wash I would use is armor wash. I would advice base coating black then two coats of camo green, then the armor wash, then maybe a 50/50 camo rotting flesh then a little pure rotting flesh and you'd end up with something like the color I have on this dreadnought. I think a true Deathguard scheme has more grey in it. I used to use Ghoul Grey from the Monster or Creature paint set, but it long dried out. That was a great color for Nurgle. I've been using some Vellejo or however you spell it paints just for expiremental purposes, they have a grey green and a green grey. These are good Nurgle colors. I think I used them on this plaguebearer: http://www.muschamp.ca/OffSite/plaguebearer.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=Dan=- Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 deathguard dont really need a colour scheme, just use different geens, browns...etc and work up to light colours, use brown inks to give slimey areas. just make them look like crap! (there needs to be control though*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I don't play Chaos...filthy traitors...so I have no idea if this Fabius conversion is supposed to be Nurgle...but I do like the color scheme for DG. This is a different technique I dink around with; there is no actual base coat: Primed with fortress grey, washed with 2 coats of Catachan Green...obviouslythe 2nd after the 1st dries. From there I apply a few glazes of a really dark gray, with the slightest of blue tints. You can get the same effect by glazing on the dark gray, then a thin glaze of midnight blue...but it would have to be VERY thinned. from there you just highlight up with GW foundation "gretchin green, which has to be REALLY thinned because of the pigment concentration, then worked up to rotting flesh. Anyway, here's what it looks like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phal Brannon Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Mine are fairly simple, basecoat of chaos black followed by catachan green then a wash of brown ink finally highlight with camo green, below are some example's http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n104/Rogaldorn_album/warhammer40k033.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n104/Rogaldorn_album/warhammer40k030.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n104/Rogaldorn_album/warhammer40k021.jpg As others have said most shade's of green are exceptible, do a couple of tester's from light to dark see whats best for you :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Pretty soon, we're going to have a one-thread-fits-all guide to painting Nurgle! I see a lot of great color schemes, and ideas. Captain Raiun...which ones do you like? Maybe the painters of those minis can help you through a few test minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cann0nf0dder Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I went a different path for mine a few years ago; as a result they really stood out. 1. Paint them in pre-heresy colours: 1.1. Chaos black undercoat 1.2. Snakebite 1.3. Bleached Bone 1.4. Red Gore shoulder pad and arm (yeah I went with that scheme) 1.5. Metals done Chaos black and Boltgun 2. Dirty them up: 2.1. Armour wash (good luck finding that now, try Paynes Grey) 2.2. Watered down Brown Ink (now Ogrin Flesh or Delvan Mud might work) 2.3. Watered down Green Ink (now Thakka Green) 2.4. Dry brush or highlight (depending on how much time you want to spend) the whole mini (even the metal parts) with Rotting Flesh. 3. Final detail. I don’t have any pics as this was more than 5 years ago, in a different country; back in my pre-career/pre-family days when I actually had time to paint.
