Great video! Would love to see a video about the Saim Hann paints you’d use.
I've had a desire to start painting the deathguard for a while, but I've been intimidated to do so because of all the details.
I think this guide is what I needed to take the plunge.
I completely understand. They can look really complicated but the reality is they’re actually very easy to paint. You just need to break them down into bits and there’s not much you can’t make look better with Agrax Earthshade 😉
I say go for it mate, you’ll find they’re great fun to paint 👍
Thanks for watching
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides how to paint death guard:
1. Cover in death guard green
2. Add copper paint
3. Have a nosebleed all over your model
4. Marinate in bucket of Agrax Earthshade for a few hours
5. done
since I’ve found your channel I’ve painted a skitarii enginseer, a marshal, and now working on the rest of the skitarii box. recently finished an alpha. your channel has unlocked a hobby i didnt know I needed. Thanks for all the tips and awesome deathguard video! your voice is nice and soothing to listen to. Thanks and can’t wait for more videos!
It’s comments like this that make the work of making these videos all worth it.
Hearing that my videos have helped you discover the hobby I love is so amazing
Thank you
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuidesDude, your videos have efficiently broken down EVERY step of the mini painting process. Can’t believe I wasn’t recommended this channel sooner. Good stuff man. 👍
Well done man. Not only do you say " I paint this color on this part " you explain how you do it and slow it down so people can even see how you move your brush. Constantly giving tips along the way. What a great tutorial thank you so much !
this is honestly the best death guard tutorial I've seen, excellent video as usual, brother
thanks very much, really appreciate that
I can't believe that ultra marines are so big of a problem, that even Death needs guardians
Haha yeah, that’s some dangerous Smurfs, clearly 🤣
Amazing, amazing work. I was super impatient waiting for this, but it's well worth the wait!
Now I’m leaning more towards death guard as an army for 40k! Good job on the video! Absolutely terrific 👍
I bought a combat patrol for Death Guard awhile ago and I've gotten the poxwalkers painted awhile ago and I've been looking for a good Plague Marine painting guide and yours looks AMAZING I'm very excited to pain my Plague Marines in such an awesome style love your videos they've helped make me a much better painter by far
Probably the best tutorial channel on youtube, great work keep it up good sir.
Only probably? 🤣
Just kidding, thanks a lot for watching and supporting the channel 🤛
Thx , very nice video. Grandpa would be proud
Thanks for this guide, I painted my first 40k mini using this and it turned out way better than i ever could have done on my own!
I adore your videos and style, keep on going man, your vids are special
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing.
Lovely stuff! The weathering really sells the Death Guard vibe.
Watching this makes me want to get some Death Guard models and try my hand at it.
Another great tutorial. The ratios of medium to contrast was great touch. Looking forward to your next tutorial already
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.
I hope you caught your credit at the end, really appreciate you being a member 👍
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides I did catch my credit thank you 😊
Will definitely paint my Death Guards quite like this, thanks for the video !
Looks great. Thanks
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 👍
amazing guide
This channel must blow up big in audience, because your videos are so well made and produced. I really wish you the best for the future. Thanks for this good to follow guide.
My personal problem at the moment is, that I do not have so much brush control or perhaps to much paint in my brush, so that I don't get this fine edge highlights you are producing, but I assume this is a thing practice could solve over time. Perfect example ist at 20:37 when you paint the skulls teeth and the bone. There I would have most certainly lost the shadows.
Thank you 🙏
If you can help spread the word to your hobby friends about my channel, that would certainly help.
Glad you’re enjoying the channel. Really appreciate the support
Yes, there’s always going to be a certain amount of practice but there are things which you can do to make things easier for yourself.
In this case I would say the bit you’re missing is testing.
It seems really obvious but its something people very rarely talk about it.
Before you put your brush to the model, ALWAYS test it first. I do this on the back of my hand, but you can use your palette, a scrap mini or anything you like.
The important thing is to know what result you’ll get BEFORE it’s on the model.
Once you know it spot on, then you can confidently start painting your mini.
For fine details like highlights, just try painting a fine thin line on your hand. If you can do a clean neat line as thin as a hair, then you’re good to go.
As a bonus, practicing painting ultra thin lines will also help improve you brush control and skill.
Hope that helps
Finally, give this a watch as I think it’ll help too

@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Thanks for the detailed reply.
Beautiful job
I'd love to see a Thousand Sons video or a DA Deathwing as those are the two armies I'm gravitating toward, I love your Dark Angels video and would love to see more of the first on the channel. Your videos have helped me build up some knowledge of painting before I take on a big project! Thanks a lot and keep it up!
Thanks for watching man.
I do have a vid on my take on Thousand Sons
ua-cam.com/video/qr_WzA2gpIA/v-deo.html
and I have a DeathWing vid planned now I’ve seen that cool boxset they’ve just released 👍
Your videos deserve way more views, especially your middle earth videos
Thank you 🙏
I don’t disagree 🤣
If you can help spread the word that would be a huge help? 👍
Looks amazing! A work colleague is big into this hobby and has been trying for months to get me into it and has just given me a few figures to try out. I'm looking forward to it but watching videos like yours where you only need like 37 different paints and oils 😂 does put me off a bit.
Thanks for watching
I completely get that the number of different paints used seems a huge commitment when first starting out.
But to get going you really don’t need everything straightaway.
Best thing to do is just pick up the basic colours you need for your figures.
A silver, a red, a green that sort of thing and then a wash which you can use over everything so in this case a brown wash would work well.
Paint in your base colours and then apply your wash and that’s it. Good to go gaming with.
Then as you get more into it you can start to acquire more paints as you need them
Give this video a watch and it’ll show you what I mean about applying a wash over multiple colours

Welcome to the hobby 👍
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides will do thanks.
Very nice!
I just bought my first set of gw models. Plague Marines. Wish me luck!
Go for it!
You’ll do great
You got this 👍
Well done!!!!!!!!
😊 looks amazing
It's finally here!
It is!
Sorry for the delay
You’ll hear from my voice on the vid I’m still recovering
On the plus side, I think it’s the best video I’ve made so far
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides Take a good rest!
@@WilliamChoochootrain thanks man
I’m good now, I’m certainly over the worst.
Keen to get cracking on some new Cities or Sigmar minis
Great work 👍🏻
Thank you 🙏
awesome and clean job ^^
Thanks man 🤛
Your video content is very good, I hope you progress very quickly
Thank you
Glad you’re enjoying the channel 👍
Most welcome. If you do SEO, Your video will get more views and subscribe@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
Nice job thank you for the video:) ❤
Thanks for watching
Really glad you enjoyed it
Great video. I'd love to see how/if you varnish your figures after tho.
Thanks for watching
To protect my painting I will apply a light coat of AK ultra matte varnish through an airbrush
Hope that helps 👍
Hey, great work again. Could you make a video on how to paint Adeptus Custodes in the near future?
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it.
Regarding Custodes, yes. I’ve been wanting to paint some of them for a while as it happens.
It won’t be straightaway, but I will add it to the list for sure
Love your vids. Can you do deathwing if you haven't
@BrushstrokePaintimgGuides will you do a video of the alpha legion. I barely see any box sets of them. Thought I might convert ultramarine into them.
As always your videos are some of the best Hobby tutorials on YT and this DG scheme looks FANTASTIC. My only suggestion and it is a very minor suggestion to all Miniature Hobby UA-camrs ;). We appreciate the mixture of paint brands, especially the shout out to better paint types (small flake metallics being a huge win), but it would be immeasurably helpful if UA-camrs could give us paint alternatives during a process like this one. They might be inferior alternatives but it would mean that folks like us who won't have DarkStar or 2 Thin Coat paint brands could crack on with trying this scheme out using paints that are more common (popular types being Citadel, Vallejo and Army painter). I know for a fact that most hobbyists will go and purchase the displayed paints anyway, especially if the results they produce using replacements doesn't look as nice as the results seen here. Just a suggestion as your videos are some of the best available and the above isn't a critique, more a plus point idea. Thanks for your time and efforts 👍👌😌
Thanks man
I completely get what you mean, but it’s a difficult thing to try and do for a few reasons,
The first is in terms of getting the expected result. If I use a certain paint and then suggest another one as an alternative, if a viewer uses the alternative and gets a poor result it’ll reflect badly on me and I may lose credibility. The paints I pick are because I feel they give the result I’m after and will achieve the same for others.
The next is often an alternative may not exist or im not aware of one. I’m still on a mission to try every paint, but I have a long way to go 🤣
Great example of this, is Scale75’s Black. As far as I know, there is no equivalent to the result that paint gives out the bottle.
It’s because of these reasons I (and I suspect other UA-camrs) don’t suggest alternatives.
There are websites which do have comparison tables of similar colours across brands and I know TTC even have a little chart showing their colour’s equivalents in GW and army painters ranges.
Sorry, I know that sounds like a bit of a cop out, it’s not meant to be. And honestly, if I could reliably and consistently list equivalent paints for all the ones I use, I would. 🙂
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides that all sounds perfectly reasonable :). Thanks for the reply and thanks again for all of your hard work. Your video tutorials are truly excellent.
Please provide citadel alternatives for the other paints 😊 (I already got some from this video but it would help in the future)
I'd really like to see you tackle a Kill Team. That would be cool.
Any requests on which Kill Team?
I really like this scheme. Like the armor is more dirty and greasy than rusty. I really like that a lot more than the classic rusty Death Guard armor.
Hey, glad I found this video. Finally getting to my combat patrol and this will help a lot! Just one quick question: what did you use for the black on the weapon? I only find that you highlight it with eshin grey at the end. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for watching, really glad to hear you found the video useful.
Regarding the black for the weapon, it will have been Black from Scale75, code SC00
Hope that helps 👍
What colors could i use from citadel in replacement for vampire fang? I only have and use them pretty much
what about using streaking grime instead for the grimy effect, what do you think about streaking grime?
So when are you doing a Patreon? 😂 perfect video!
Thank you
No patreon
Free to all is my moto 👍
What black magic are you using my friend? That coverage of green is so good, i need to add like 5-7 layers on black primers
i like this a lot...
just started painting again at 41 years old and stopped at 17 years old
what would be nice is alternatives to colours for the 2 thin coats etc as i only use citadel at the moment... but thats probably way too complicated for every video
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
With regards alternatives for the 2 thin coats, they have a couple conversion charts you can download here
www.duncanrhodes.com/ttc-paints/
Like you say, it’s very hard to do in the video cos there’s just so many paints out there and I couldn’t tell you which are close matches to another. Sorry
thanks fro the reply i appreciate the conversion chart@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides
So might be a dumb question but what is the contrast medium doing? Wouldnt water do the same thing
I don't paint gw models but I love your tutorials! This was another great one. How are you finding the TTC paints? What's the finish like (i.e. matt or satin?) Always struggled with my models ending up looking glossy 🤦♂️
I can honestly say, I’m loving TTC paints.
I’ll admit I was a bit sceptical that they may just have been a gimmick, but they are really brilliant paints.
I don’t know what wizards or chemist geniuses they’re got mixing them up but they’re spot on.
Smooth, rich and great coverage.
Finish wise, I would say they’re the same as GW’s. A satin finish.
I tend to give all my models a thin coat of AK ultramatte varnish to protect them and reduce any shine. Works well for me
What camera are you using to film?
I am always amazed at how smooth your paint is on your brush. I use an army painter wet palette and I have not yet gotten the thinning down part to your level. Any tips on thinning paint in general ? Love your work mate
Thanks man
My advice would be to watch my video on thinning paint
ua-cam.com/video/sBDVPoNXyVI/v-deo.html
But then, from what I've heard the Army Painter paper doesnt behave the same way and I suspect this is why you're struggling.
So, I'd say give the paper I use a try and see if that just solves all your problems :)

Hope that helps
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides I managed to get a cleaner result as of late so thank you for the info! With your dark angels video being ao good and dark angels getting some refreshes, any tips or plans for future videos on deathwing ? 👀
@@_jasonwood_ really glad to hear the advice has helped. 👍
As for Dark Angels, have I missed an announcement? I hadn’t heard they were getting some love again. Awesome.
I have had a few other people ask for a Deathwing video, so I’ll have to see what I can do.
Even if it’s just a recipe video for the bone coloured armour 🤔
@BrushstrokePaintingGuides They are rumoured to get a range refresh for a lot of their units by Spring which includes deathwing. Hope to see what you cook up for their armour eventually
Were the eye lenses really as easy as just a coat of angron red clear? The end result kinda looks like there're some orange highlights/gradients.
Also, you skipped over the black details like the gun casing and stick grenade handle, were those Scale75 black? Or a darker grey?
@williamchoochootrain
My apologies, you’re absolutely right I forgot the step for the black which was indeed just Scale75 Black.
The eye lenses have a final highlight line of Troll Slayer Orange at the bottom of each lens and a small dot of white as a highlight point.
I did them right at the end but off camera, just as I wasn’t feel great.
The gradient though is all down to that single step of Angron red. 👍
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides ahh I see, tysm!
Yes well done how long did it take to paint the solder
Thank you
This was a 5 hour paint job
I think you've peaked regarding the juxtaposition of happy background music with choice of model.
Haha for sure
Painting pustules to calm, chilled music
What’s not to like?
Thanks for watching 👍
Does earthshade work like that or do u add medium to it? I feel like mine dries caked with even the smallest amount. Should I be leaving it to dry for like a day and come back?
No, there's no medium added to anything unless it is expressly stated (and then I always give a ratio used etc)
Usual advice with washes, shake them like crazy, only let them pool where you want and apply in sections so as to not flood the model.
I go into quite a bit of detail about how I use washes in a recent video, maybe that will help answer some of your issues
ua-cam.com/video/mADYQQOH9a8/v-deo.html
Aww ok, thank you for replying! I will give that a try and hopefully that does the trick 😁 thanks again!
no problem
if you're still having problems, feel free to send me some pics over to brushstroke.painter@gmail.com and I might be able to give some more specific advice as to what is happening
Yeah, First comment!!!

Haha thanks man
