5:18 I love your channel because you have a practical approach to painting. It’s nice to see a person of your abilities say “eh…nah” to things that just aren’t worth the trouble. It’s great advice.
I've been using your "how to" on my Mk III Death Guard and love the look. I'd been mulling over the best colour for the Pteruges before starting on my Terminators and think the reddish brown complements the colour scheme beautifully.
Looks great! And very timely. I painted five Terminators on my day off yesterday and hope to get five more done today. Thanks for all the great tutorials! I'm painting the Age of Darkness box as World Eaters and mostly following your painting video for them.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio When you have finished that army please show it to us :) I'm half way through doing an Ultramarines one but now am having second thoughts, lol
Man I like the grungy look of that terminator, it turned out great. In all honesty the methods would work really well to speed paint really any beat up looking power armor, especially for games like Fallout or This Is Not A Test. Just any power armor that has really been through it and badly needs a little TLC.
Would Love to see your take on a Death Guard vehicles as the approach is usually a little different from Infantry to Vehicles, like a dreadnought or even a Rhino/Spartan :D keep up the great work, as Ive been subscribed for years as I love the content :D
This same method would definitely still work on a dreadnought, but a Spartan's going to have to wait until it comes out separately from the starter box because I don't have that kind of money.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio yea, I totally understand you there Troy, I'm saving my money for the new Squats anyway, I need a new Stargrave crew.......lol
by far the best Death Guard video I've seen so far. good work as always. I'm looking for an alternative to GW's Wraithbone. I thought of Ivory by Vallejo. what are your thoughts?
Ivory is pretty close, but lacks a little of that yellow touch. Pale Sand might be closer but even then that's a little darker, although not by much. I'd try Ivory over a white primer first, see how you like the look of that, and if it doesn't turn out the way you'd hoped you can try a darker version.
Hi Sonic. Great tutorial as ever. Just built space Marines from the warhammer imperium part works magazine here in the UK. Was thinking of what colours would be best. Decided on Green! This tutorial was really helpful. Thanks again. To drill or not to drill? it's a personal preference. Lol. Take care and keep safe my friend. Kind regards Ian
Honestly, when it comes to the drilling I totally agree that it looks better, but A.) it takes extra time, and B.) I'm cack-handed when it comes to doing it and can never quite get the hole in the center so it looks ridiculous. Better to just dot the sodding things with a little black paint if I'm going to be that fussy. 😂 Green's always a good choice!
I know what you mean. As I said it is a personal preference. I think you do an excellent job and obviously if people wanna go the extra step it is their choice. I'm happy to get the painting tips from you and then see how far I want to go with a miniature. Love your replies, they are genuine and crack me up at times, cos you're honest. Said it before, but I do feel like I have a have a friend in you when I'm painting. Thanks. Kindest regards Ian
This is made with the old stuff, though reports generally suggest the new stuff will work very similarly if you use the same ratio of new shades and Lahmian Medium.
This looks really amazing, definitely going to use for my HH death guard. On the finished model there are traces of the red dust of the base on his feet and lower legs. Is that drybrushing or some sort of weathering powder or something else? Cheers
It's just drybrushing during basing - use a little of the remainder of your drybrush colour and stipple up the legs as you've almost got it all out of your brush when you're basing each miniature, it's really quick.
I've had an eye out for nice battle-damaged white armour methods that are also relatively quick for a while because that's how I'd like to do some Chaos Warriors when I get into the Slaves to Darkness in Age of Sigmar - this looks like it'd be a great method for that! Really nice stuff. Would the battle-damage method work in reverse on dark or black armour? So using a lighter grey or even a steel colour from the foam? I've also got some Stormcast I'm doing up as Anvils and a little bit of battle-damage could really make them pop.
The main thing in the chipping is achieving visual contrast so that it stands out quite starkly against the armour. If you were doing it on black you could try dabbing on a dark brown or something first, but then sponge on some silver as well over the top of that. For Astartes it's a little different since someone's always going to sniff and say, "Actually, ceramite ought not be metallic..." but for Stormcast I'd say you're on to a winner there. 😂 For Anvils, a tiny few scratches of bright silver should look quite good.
Curious about what/if anything you’d do to differentiate standard Marines (Tacs, Support etc) from Elite units (Command Squads and or Veterans, HQs and Tech Marines or Apothecaries)? Trim, palette swaps on paldrouns, and or a slightly different shade of green?
Im torn between death guard and world eaters, can I ask why in this tutorial you do not gloss varnish the model before the juice mix application for this model (when you did for your world eater dude tutorial)?

Ohhh I love this style of terminator
The Cataphractii are my favourites. I know a lot of people like the Tartaros variant but they look like angry Creme Eggs to me!
I have found “Marine Juice” works really awesome on my Khorne Bezerkers and really brings the trim out and sharpens it up. Thank you for the recipe!
Thank you , Troy .
🐺
WOW. The effect of the "Marine Juice" is just awesome.
It's surprisingly versatile!

That is a Lovely paint job looks stunning
Glorious result ! Clapping hands !!!
I've been using your "how to" on my Mk III Death Guard and love the look. I'd been mulling over the best colour for the Pteruges before starting on my Terminators and think the reddish brown complements the colour scheme beautifully.
For the weathering I actually picked up some of the Green Stuff World weathering sticks after scratching some models with my tweezers...
Now that's an idea. I hadn't thought of those little sponge-tip pencil things, that's a good thought. Might have to check some of those out myself!
This is a really really nice scheme.
One could speed paint an army with ease.
For real. Less than half an hour per figure, you'd absolutely blast through the infantry for an army.
This was an excellent tutorial, very underrated. I am trying this method out for starting horus heresy. Thank you for your time.
Looks great! And very timely. I painted five Terminators on my day off yesterday and hope to get five more done today. Thanks for all the great tutorials! I'm painting the Age of Darkness box as World Eaters and mostly following your painting video for them.
Such a nice paint scheme, thanks dude :)
Personally I love doing recess shading on wraithbone the following up with 50/50 aggrax, nuln oil mix. The end result is an oily look to the armor.
I love pre-heresy deathguard and this is my favorite terminator pattern! such a nice surprise to find this in my feed!
Same here! Cataphractii really are the best. ✌ I had a feeling it'd be worth touching on a previous video for an excuse to paint one up!
Awesome job!
Love the approach for the red leather - think I'll run with it, maybe try to add a hint of age to it with a slight faded aspect...
Dude that is mint! I really love this!
Glad to hear it! It's *super* easy as well.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio When you have finished that army please show it to us :) I'm half way through doing an Ultramarines one but now am having second thoughts, lol
That looks fantastic (as always). Also a great idea to "re-do" schemes you have already covered on other minis.
I'm having some proxy Tempestus Scions on the way. Once again, your videos have helped me in trying to figure out a paint scheme.
Ooo... this should look really cool on Scions, come to think of it. Good call!
Looks fantastic, well done!
Such a great tutorial! I'm definitely giving this a go for my Death Guard :)
This was a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing this very interesting color scheme on a larger figure.
great tutorial as always - just waiting for my DG termis to be delivered
Good luck! I know there's a few people still waiting on Royal Mail to get those Heresy kits to their doors, but man oh man, they're nice!
Good job thanks

Would live to see how you do the Spartan in the Death Guard scheme!!
Like this, but bigger. 😅 The Spartan's still exclusive to the starter box and there is no *way* I can afford that at the moment.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio yea, I totally understand you there Troy, I'm saving my money for the new Squats anyway, I need a new Stargrave crew.......lol

Beautiful paint job. Didn't think you'd be a traitor though mate.
I'm tempted to play them as a Loyalist faction. Nathaniel Garro was one of the first true Loyalists, after all!

GW should really release a shade called 'Marine Juice'
great paint job! is the marine juice made with the new shades or the old ones?
This is made with the old stuff, though reports generally suggest the new stuff will work very similarly if you use the same ratio of new shades and Lahmian Medium.
Will you do something for Heresy-era Salamanders?
Eventually!
Hey! So I just got back from watching your clanrat video, and this series is great. I was wondering if you have done a Clawlord How I paint things?
This looks really amazing, definitely going to use for my HH death guard. On the finished model there are traces of the red dust of the base on his feet and lower legs. Is that drybrushing or some sort of weathering powder or something else? Cheers
It's just drybrushing during basing - use a little of the remainder of your drybrush colour and stipple up the legs as you've almost got it all out of your brush when you're basing each miniature, it's really quick.
I love you, your paint jobs and your videos Troy, but ya gotta drill yer barrels, man!
Never gonna happen! Unless it somehow becomes absolutely core to the method of *painting* the things, I'm not going to bother.
I'm interested to hear your thoughts on mortarion grime - would you use that for future death guard models?
I've had an eye out for nice battle-damaged white armour methods that are also relatively quick for a while because that's how I'd like to do some Chaos Warriors when I get into the Slaves to Darkness in Age of Sigmar - this looks like it'd be a great method for that!

Great tutorial, the paintjob show how gothic are these fellas, way different from Star Trek 's tidy aspect too many give to the Terminators
I love the crunchy, dieselpunk walking tank look some of the Terminator variants have.
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio Effectively they are battle brutes, walking death dealers,so giving them a "shiny" look is really out .
Im torn between death guard and world eaters, can I ask why in this tutorial you do not gloss varnish the model before the juice mix application for this model (when you did for your world eater dude tutorial)?
Turns out it just doesn't make that much of a difference with the amount of medium that's in the mix.
So army update soon? Lol
Gotta build the sods first! 😅 I'm not *that* fast, tragically...
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio same. Got to wait for some bits to com in to start my RG.
followed the instructions and it did not work the marine juice just coloured everything brown.
Are you using all three parts of the mix in equal measure? It won't look as dark as it seems once it's dried, either.
You didn't drill out the gun barrels
