The music is so peculiar, alien and fitting. You're also very calming to listen to, with a touch of humour with your bipity, bopity, boo sound effects.
Robert W. Chambers was the author, a direct influence on Lovecraft and the book The King in Yellow is also cannon in the Cthulhu Mythos universe... Also the short story The Yellow Sign from that book is peak Death Guard, wouldn´t be surprised if Nurgle warriors(both fantasy and 40k) were partly inspired by it. Regardless, cool that someone else noticed it, also great color choice, it retains the original armor color from the Death Guard armor pre-Heresy and the yellow is just very evocative of the aforementioned book, love it!
I'd love to see you do some Maggotkin of Nurgle. I know...they could be done very similarly to how you did these...but it's always nice to see someone painting the actual models you are getting ready to paint. Helps to be able to visualize things a little better.
I know what you mean. It makes it less ominous if you have seen someone do it already. I don't have plans to paint a maggotkin army any time soon, but I will eventually paint all armies ha!
glad you liked it :) i plan to do another 48hr challenge (my latest vid) for orks, but ill leave it a few months ha. the scheme should work well on orks! Plymouth is awesome!
Thank you for that awesome video, man! I just watched it again one year later, and I just wanted to say that your video really influenced my painting process and made my Death Guard become so damn good-looking! By the way, I noticed that if you use Plaguebearer Flesh for the Armour, over a Grey to White Zenithal Drybrush, it will get a colour changing effect, as the grey makes it become green, while it's a greenish yellow over white.
Haha. Didn’t realize you also did this vid. Watched it earlier and thought you were”out to lunch” on the initial colouring. Then the oil. Great job yet again bud! Looking forward to future content.
Great video, subbed. Thank you for actually spinning the models around after you do a color so you can see them from different angles. One of the missing in a lot of videos out there (at best you get a spin around when its finished instead of where beginning painters need it step by step.) I also liked your non-traditional color choices on this model. I would invite you to try a slightly different zenithal when working with contrast that I think you would like. Paint the whole model in Grey Seer, do a top down with wraithbone and then a top down drybrush with white. By avoiding black it sets up the contrast to do its thing much better as I have noticed some colors don't look right or discolor over black. Give it a shot and see if you like it. (Edit) I should add that the 30k/Pallid hand scheme is my favorite/only way to paint deathguard.
Thanks for the detailed feedback! It's awesome and helpful. I will try the zenithal technique you suggested. I saw Dana Howl doing it on her channel before painting. Should work really well with contrast.
@@SlayerMiniatures Not on any vehicles yet. They seem to love texture way more than smooth surfaces. I've hard airbrushing them for flat smooth surfaces work, but more of a tint than basecoat and shade like when used with a brush.
First of all, amazing work. I have been watching many DG tutorials, but yours really hit me. I've been searching for the right look for my DG. You have shown me the light. I have a few questions for you: 1. Did you use the satin contrast undercoat primers from Citadel? 2. I have never used enamel paints. I have some trepidation in doing so. When you show the streaking grime all over the minis, when did you know it was the right time to stop applying it/that enough was enough? 3. Did you thin the streaking grime at all? 4. Have you tried using the streaking grime over a bone/cream color armor? I am wondering how different the armor plates would look. 5. How much drying time did you have with these 5 models? What was your total time expenditure for them including drying time? Thanks so much for showing your process. I love what you've done and I plan to copy it (with some slight color changes). Thanks again!
Thanks for the detailed feedback! Really helps me improve my videos :) 1. I just used black and white primer, normal plain acrylic primer. I have used it over citadel primer and does the exact same. 2. With the streaking grime I just put enough on to see the entire model was painted. You don't want it too thick. But stop when it's brown basically. If you put too much on it doesn't matter as the spirits can remove it. 3. No thinning needed on the grime. 4. I have used the grime over wraithbone and it looks awesome. It's great for painting bone. I have pics on my instagram of Imperial Knight plates painted with wraithbone and then streaking grime. Also check out Ninjon on UA-cam he painted alot of skeletons with bone paint and streaking grime. 5. Drying time in total was about an hour. Just waiting for the spirits to evaporate, which you can speed up with a hair dryer. Hope that helps :)
@@SlayerMiniatures one more thing. Once I start working with enamels, do I have to continue using them or can something like Nuln Oil shade be used instead of the Black Oil wash as you did it?
Streaking grime drys matte. You can use normal was over it. If you are worried your will mess up your paint job just give it a thin layer of varnish before the nuln oil
Glad you like it :) I havent done my vehicles yet. Intend to do a video on painting drones/tanks and another on poxwalkers so watch this space and subscribe if you haven't ;)
@@SlayerMiniatures ohh I have subbed. I got the combat patrol was like right let's build them plague marines and now I've ordered the chosen for that one with the hood ! Looking forward to the other videos keep up the top work !
hi, one question english is not my main and i dont knw if u say it or not, but when u use the white spirit to clean the streak grime u first wait the streak to dry?
One thing is to be quick or effective... (and ok, one a half hours alone would take me to paint all that trim) Or the fact that I've never used contrast paints... But this video made me feel like a total moron!! It was all disgustingly brilliant! My only doubt would be if some varnish would be needed between the Grime and the black oil-wash...? Damn... This was so good and inspiring!
Glad you liked it. You don't have to speed paint, I didnt rush any step, just tried to be efficient :) and the whole point is to enjoy it :) Varnish is not essential at all. The reason I dont use it is because the grime stains the white primer. If you varnish over it there will be less of a staining effect. No harm in using a thin layer of varnish if you are worried though :) give it a try!
Also white spirit should not strip the acrylic paint (primer) unless it is rubbed/agitated vigorously. So gently dabbing is a must. I think it would be better to use sponge as its not vigorous and so shouldn't risk removing paint at all
Yes, ment the varnish after the Grime effect, so that the white spirit and black oil don't mix with it... Anyways! This looks very, very good... For sure going to try it, and I'll be watching anything you kindly share! Those overgrown Necrons are something to behold, also...! Thanks!
@@SlayerMiniatures Yes, been using oil paints on minis for more than a year, now... Some soft transitions and pin-washes, so I'm familiar with the stuff... Only thing... I'll never touch a miniature with cotton! (Again) I can see some of those damn fibers on the final result. What I found works best, (makeup sponges tend to disintegrate with the spirit and turn to gunk, maybe natural ones work) it's actually microfiber cloth... Like the ones you use to clean glasses and such, dipped on the white spirit, it works way better, imo.
@@Virakotxa awesome thanks for the tip! I might get some microfiber cloths. Yeah would be no harm using varnish after grime layer. Would seal it all in place nicely! Thanks again! Enjoy your painting!
No it looks great still! Especially after adding rust washes. I'm uploading a full army painting video this week! 3 tanks, 3 of each drone and lots of infantry! Watch this space
You can just paint it on with an old brush you don't need an airbrush. You can paint anything with a brush that you could do with an airbrush. You could give nuln oil a try but don't think it would look the same at all.
When you apply the white spirits to the Streaking grime, do you wait for the grime to dry completly? Or kinda do it as its drying? Its hard to tell the passage of time in your vid and looks like its still wet before you use the spirits...
I don't let the grime fully dry, I leave it about 30 mins then start removing it. You can also do it when it's wet. I wouldn't leave it longer than 30 mins or so as it will start to fully dry and won't be easy to remove. It's slow drying like oil paint, but will dry eventually
Awesome video - Did you have to varnish the mini prior to airbrushing the grime on? Also, what's the drying time like before you can seal it up and play? Keep up the great work!
No I didn't varnish it. You just have to make sure you are gentle with the cotton buds and white spirit. If you are rough the paint will come off. You can do a layer of varnish if you are worried about it though. Should still get the same effect. Drying time isn't much at all. Just have to wait for the white spirit to evaporate, which you can speed up with a hair dryer.
This is absolutely incredible, and I am about to embark upon my quest of painting up all my deathguard using this very tutorial (plus the sequel to this one where you did the whole army). I do have a question though- unfortunately, my army is based with the citadel deathguard spray, whereas yours was white. Considering this, are there any changes you'd recommend where paint choice is concerned? For the contrasts or AK enamels? I sincerely appreciate your time, and this video was incredible. The entire reason I decided to do all my Deathguard.
Hi Mike, glad you liked the videos :) If you are wanting to do a green armour...I would do a test model with a white highlight over the deathguard green, leaving some showing. Then paint the armour with Plaguebearer Flesh or Militarum Green Contrasts. See if you like the look. Or keep the deathguard green base as it is. If you are doing that then I would pick a different colour got the cloth. Maybe a purple or red? Would be a nice contrast to the green.
@@SlayerMiniatures Thank you for the fast reply. By white highlight, I assume you mean something like a dry brush with a lighter (nurgling green?) or literally white color? Edit: Oh, or do you mean a white zenithal highlight? Getting my terms confused I think.
Hi slayer miniatures love the paint scheme i was wondering if you think you would get the same results if you did a wraithbone or grey seer base? Cheers
Thanks 😊 I don't apply varnish at all. You just need to make sure all the base layers are completely dry before using the spirits. You can do a thin layer of varnish if you like though and I'm sure it doesn't change the effect much
Hey, thanks for the video. This is a great technique! Just one question... Do you let the "streaking grime" dry before you apply the white spirit, or do you use the spirit right after applying the color while It's still wet?

Thank you 😊 more to come
These look outstanding!
Thanks 😊 check out my other videos..I paint an entire death guard army in this scheme in 48 hours!
“Boop” haha. Great video. Well explained info. Enamel and oils are perfect for Death Guard. Love me some AK
Thanks Justin 😊 yeah oils are amazing, and AK interactive's products are all amazing!
God damn, those turned out fantastic. I really should start messing with more enamels and oil paints.
Thanks 😊 oil paints are amazing on miniatures. They are cheaper and don't stain the model. Enamels are awesome!
