How To Paint: Death Guard Power Armour

[@nikolashug4619]

I've been painting deathguard for 3 years now and I still come back and watch these videos to get bqck into painting and remembering the video that took my painting to the next level. Thank you. Very good video that contains techniques that other deathguard painting videos lack. Thank you :)

This comment is exactly why I do this! I'm so happy you found this useful and felt it helped you improve as a painter ❤️

[@ParanoidPacific]

Man, this genuinely looks great! I never would've thought to shade with grey, rather than green or brown. Might have to give that a shot...

[@mugsofdoomminis]

Glad I could inspire:)

[@RW-Navigator]

Thank you! Dark reaper works really well with deathgaurd

[@mugsofdoomminis]

Glad you liked the video :)

love to see one in horus heresy colour armour white and green with rust

[@mugsofdoomminis]

I don’t have any spare Horus heresy models lying around but I might be able to rustle something up on a 40k chaos marine

Looks awesome! Very inventive using dark reaper as a shade, when it comes to the verdigris/weathering on your brass trim do you add any oxide colours to the trim?

[@mugsofdoomminis]

Thank you for your kind words :) oxidising is absolutely something you could apply to the trim here. The trick with verdigris is to use lots of reference images and remember that oxidisation tends to happen in the recesses. As for colours there are a whole bunch you can use, you don’t necessarily have to use a specific technical paint for it, find your favourite teal and turquoise paints, baharoth blue and gauss blaster green heavily thinned are good colours to use from games workshop

this was super helpful. painting my first 40k set and its dg , they dont look near as awesome

[@mugsofdoomminis]

I’m glad you found it helpful. Rule number one of painting minis. Never compare yourself to others only yourself. If you just started running you wouldn’t compare yourself times to an Olympic runner cos you’d be disheartened. Paint because you enjoy it. Each time you paint you get better even if you don’t notice it. Hang onto the very first mini you paint and you will notice how far you progress much easier. Everyone starts somewhere and if you enjoyed doing it, don’t you dare let anyone tell you that your models aren’t amazing. I bet yours look great. Happy hobbying :)
