I think I like your guides more than any of them I've seen. I used your word bearers guide for most of an army then I used your salamanders guide for combat and boarding patrols. Here I find myself again as I start my death guard force. They really seem to sport excellent end results whilst being achievable without having to learn new techniques and buy new stuff. They also leave a lot of room to tailor as my army develops I learn more as a painter. Thanks a bunch!
No problem at all! Really glad they're helping. Colour Forge eventually released a Salamanders Green colour which is much better than the 'near but not quite' Army Painter version, which is annoying. Alas! I've just settled in a new country and I've just had a load of studio stuff arrive with a dedicated room so you'll see a lot more content arriving soon which I hope will be equally helpful.
Just given this video a watch . I love the scheme . Recently just sprayed a giant DG Legion for Horus Heresy . Ive got plenty infantry and tanks . Im more excited to see how my Mastodon will look now :)
Your final image/thumbnail oddly makes the mini look worse than the last stages of the video, where it looks fantastic. This is really useful, nice work.
I have just batch painted 28 Plague Marines for a commission in this exact scheme, it's been soul destroying. Quick, but soul destroying. It comes out really nicely once the shade is on at the end!
@tien65 Send a couple to me with what you'd like them to look like and I'll create a quick, easy but wonderful looking scheme for you. I'll make a video out of it and then send you the models back. A few people have done that now.
@@criticalhitwargaming5290 Thats awfully nice of you man. Im sure people trust you to friendly nerd and all. I thought you might have some white ish highlights for the death guard armour but it looks wicked as it is. I love the grim dark look and that moot green looks wicked. Thanks for sharing bud.
Just when I said " No you have enuff greens " Il have to buy that Moot Green looks wicked ! Looks brighter then Nurgles Rot. Id love to try it ! Thanks man it looks sic Good job.
@@criticalhitwargaming5290 Ya Ushabti Bone is one of my ol time favorite bone colors id never guse it would be a good highlight for Moot Green. Thanks again !
Castellax Bronze is a couple of shades darker, and provides better contrast against the brightness of the armour. Balthazar gold is perfectly workable, but the model will look a bit more washed out and pale as the brightness will blend in more. With a shade on, it should still look perfectly acceptable though. I used an old paint pot that I washed out and just poured a bit of Agrax and a bit of Nuln Oil. Alternatively you can mix them together on a pallet, but it is a bit more labour intensive doing it that way as you'll constantly need to refresh the pool doing more than 1 model.
@@criticalhitwargaming5290 If I choose to go with Castellax, due to it being a layer, do you have to use multiple coats? Also, should you thin it at all with water?
@mr.cookiecutter Castellax has pretty good coverage, you'll just need to give a few areas a second coat. You won't need to thin contrasts or washes, only regular acrylics ever so slightly.
@BrandonKShow This guide for painting takes about the same amount of time, so it's really your call. Obviously changing it up will change the overall effect, so you can try it with contrasts, but no guarantees!
Okay cool I’ll follow this to a tee then. Here is what I bought what am I missing? (Maybe publish the list in your description?) Layer: - xereus purple - nurgling green - genestealer purple Technical - typhus corrosion Shade - poxwalker - agrax earthshade - nuln oil Base - death guard green - leadbelcher - rhinox hide - balthazar gold - wraithbone - castellan green Primer - Black - wraith bone And then I bought the army painter starter brush set and master dry brush set

I been wanting to do pallid hand scheme for my DG, and this accomplishes it quicker and with less paint than other videos. Thanks!
No problem! Painting someone's Death Guard commission right now in this very scheme!

I think you’ve just gave me the perfect colour scheme! Instant sub from me!
Legend! Glad it helps. I painted a 3,000pt commission in this exact scheme and the whole army looked incredible on the table.
Another excellent video, thank you so much for doing these!
Have you considered doing one for World Eaters?
30k style or 40k style? As I absolutely can do!
Having fun watching your videos!
Glad to hear it! 😄
I love this color scheme! How can I paint Mortarion like this ? What other colors should I add ?
Super useful tutorial - thanks!

Very much so! Only got another 42 to paint for a commission. 😐
@@criticalhitwargaming5290 hahaha good luck. I am still thinking how to paint my IG, 30 of them.

It is indeed brighter than Nurgles Rot. Give it a quick highlight with Ushabti Bone to make it look toxic.
@@criticalhitwargaming5290 Ya Ushabti Bone is one of my ol time favorite bone colors id never guse it would be a good highlight for Moot Green. Thanks again !
Great video. Wish you provided a list of the paints you used tho to stop me going through and writing one down ! 😂
Yeah I really need to start doing that again, sorry!
Simple but cool!
That's the plan! 😀
Awesome guide mate I've gotta give this a go! Would you still wash a head without a helmet with the agrax/ nuln mix or would u do it separately?
Yeah I'd still shade it. Just repaint the flesh colours afterwards
@@criticalhitwargaming5290 awesome thanks buddy 👍
i have a white scar primer can it work or im better with wraithbone primer?
quick one - do you have one for pox walkers - i cant see it
Why is Castellax bronze better than Balthazar gold? Could this color scheme still work with Balthazar? Also, how do you mix the Agrax and Nuln oil?
Castellax Bronze is a couple of shades darker, and provides better contrast against the brightness of the armour. Balthazar gold is perfectly workable, but the model will look a bit more washed out and pale as the brightness will blend in more. With a shade on, it should still look perfectly acceptable though.

@@criticalhitwargaming5290 What shade would you recommend if I decided to use Balthazar? Should I just go over it with an extra shade of agrax?
@@mr.cookiecutter Nah, just the same scheme. If you want to darken Balthazar, add in a little bit of Abaddon Black to take it down a tone.
@@criticalhitwargaming5290 If I choose to go with Castellax, due to it being a layer, do you have to use multiple coats? Also, should you thin it at all with water?
@mr.cookiecutter Castellax has pretty good coverage, you'll just need to give a few areas a second coat. You won't need to thin contrasts or washes, only regular acrylics ever so slightly.
If I’m using the slapchop method should I buy all the same paints but as Contrasts?
