Death Guard - First Squad Finished

So right now I'm supposed to be polishing up a motion response for my writing class. But instead, I'm goofing around on the interweb. I saw some great death guard units over on BolterandChainsword, and decided to put mine up as well. This is nothing new if you've already seen them on AdeptusArizona.

Here's a quick rundown of how I painted them:

Armor:

• Black undercoat
• Orkhide Shade over the entire armor
• Knarloc Green heavy drybrush
• Rotting Flesh drybrush
• Green Ink:Yellow Ink:Water - 2:1:6 - over the entire model. I had to play with this mix a bit to get it right. Some came out a little too yellow. This step tends to clean up some of the drybrushing.
• Rotting Flesh:Water - 1:2 - this was painted on clean as a highlight
• Rotting flesh hardline

Rusted Metal:

• Boltgun Metal, watered down
• Brown Ink
• Scorched Brown, stippled on
• Bestial Brown, stippled on
• Blazing Orange, stipple on

Gold Trim and Details:

• Shining Gold
• Green Ink:Brown Ink:Water - 1:1:1 - covers all of the gold and also used to "blackline" the armor

Flesh and Decay:

• Mechrite Red
• Chestnut Ink
• Tallarn Flesh - depending on the type of surface, either drybrushed or layered on.
• Bleached Bone

Bone and Horns:

• Scorched Brown
• Bubonic Brown
• Bleached Bone

Basing:

• Ah... for another time. I get asked about my Chaos bases all the time, so I think I'll do my first tutorial on the bases later this week.

Well, here they are:
