[@laurentalvaro6187]

Super useful ! Thank you !

[@gwitch]

Thanks Duncan. I'm very picky with teaching methods, but the way you do it always hits for me. And I appreciate even with your success you still make painting popular models like this free instead of putting *everything* behind a paywall.

[@wiktorpiestrzynski197]

I waited so long for this episode, a classic deathguard. Finally I know how to paint my army. Thanks Ducan.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

No worries 👍

[@jaelee1996]

I always appreciate Duncan using different brands of paint, even though his has his own line of paints. True professional.

[@WilliamChoochootrain]

Finally! For the longest time, there was only a Pallid Hand warband tutorial on the website. This is great!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vsGoliath96]

Oh man, couldnt have come out at a better time! A former coworker of mine just gave me a bunch of Death Guard, including terminators and Typhus, for free and I have absolutely no idea how to paint anything that isn't the greatest color in the universe, gold.

[@Stuka_Ace]

You always fill me with confidence. I start with, i can do it! Granted it doesnt turn out as lovely as yours! 😂

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

You can do it!

[@lulanivandermerwe313]

Out of all the WH minis I've ever painted the Death Guard was the most fun! Watching this makes me feel like I need to expand my army even more and get painting!

[@evileyeball]

I have to say Duncan, you have one of the most Soothing and relaxing voices among all content creators I subscribe to. If I am ever stressed just pop on some duncan and even just close my eyes and listen and it melts away.

[@LichsLairStudio]

So, I just got home from buying my first Death Guard Combat Patrol. I went straight to this video to learn how to paint it. Thanks Duncan! You never disappoint! 😁

[@1lichfield]

Justbstaarting the Hobby and Deathguard have caught my eye, great video and showing the difference you can get by spending more time and highlighting!

[@jamesfirth-haydon7381]

By far my favourite video of yours so far. Not just a tutorial in painting a miniature but also in how you achieve really good extra details and make it fun. Totally smashed it.

[@kavex_0]

Perfect timing with the video release! I’ve already watched all your other Death Guard related painting videos, and I just now, after years of being a fan of the 40k franchise/lore (and watching your older painting videos over on GW channel), picked up my first box of miniatures, Plague Marines of course! 🙂Only missing the paints now, have had the other tools waiting for me for years (the usual ”Well someday I’ll start!”, the biggest barrier being to think of the army/minies to start with). Cheers, thanks for all the great content!

[@Cronix1011]

Hugs for Nurgle! Great video as always. It's not how I pain my Death Guard, but I always learn something fun!

[@gm2256]

Looks insanely cool!

[@SCABRFB]

I still found the Killteam box online, it's supposed to get here on saturday. The way you explain it step by step is always so clear and simple. Thanks for the video Duncan! This will really come in handy

[@wideronaldo]

Expecting my order of my first death guard minis tomorrow so I’m taking this as a sign from the chaos gods to paint them this scheme, looks amazing!

[@carljohn5049]

So happy you did this video, model looks great and i'm really loving that eye lens, Fantastic work.

[@HerbertMiniatures]

Great video as always. It gives me some inspiration for Death Guard I have had sat around for a while 🙂

[@ironbomb6753]

That Spartan Bronze look a lot like the old color Tin Bitz. That Tin Bitz became one of my favorite colors. I still have a couple viable pots. ❤😊

[@callumwatson-k9m]

Was hoping to see your Two Coats- Contagion Green used.. Love the Two Coats colour, however would love to see a completed model with it used!

[@jdmc95]

I actually just picked up the Kill Team Starter Set, which has these models! I'm brand new to WH40K and was honestly really intimidated with the idea of painting the plague marines specifically. This makes me feel a lot more poised to do so, I'll definitely be following along with this again once I pick up the paints!

[@alphaleigpyne]

A Plague Marine's never too far from a Nurgling. A lot of them in the Space Marine Hero style Death Guard Marines. Well painted.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Love Nurglings.

[@cordial001]

one of the best type of space marines to learn to paint on I reckon :)

[@JohnCharlesBetts]

A new video of a troop type I love to paint; and my wave 3 box of paints just arrived today - it's a great weekend!

[@DmitriVanderbilt]

As much as I love Duncan's content, few things are as frustrating as watching him paint and making it look like a breeze, and then attempting myself and wondering the entire time "how tf did he do that"

[@okillcrazyo1009]

Im so glad you have released this, i have literally just finished building a few deathguard models that im painting up for a xmas present and ive never done deathguard 😅

[@mattwhitten4296]

Just the color armor I'm looking for for my blightkings in AOS. Thanks duncan

[@TheMiniJunkie]

The two thinner brands thing is clever. Learn something new every day.

[@miguelangeldeharonieto8803]

Thanks Duncan. I'm early member of your paint academy and I aprecciate this a lot. Cheers from Spain!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Awesome, thank you!

[@KiyokaMakibi]

Amazing. I can’t wait to try out some of these tips with my own painting!

[@CharlieFultonSC]

So amazing, I think I’m ready to try this tutorial out and take a break from contrast only with layering on top.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

great vid on you painting like you new paint range you got out keep up the great vid and tips thanks four share thanks

[@Jagonzalez13]

Amazing work!

[@Chinese_checkers]

Finally the Tutorial Ive been waiting for! Thanks for all you do!

[@monsterforge884]

Thank you, Duncan! You have taught me and so many others so very much... your videos are my absolute favorite painting tutorials on this platform!

[@RevanR]

That's really crisp for Nurgle Follower

[@meecher42O]

Duncan the hero!!!

[@bafat-cb4in]

Perfect, got the box two days ago and will paint it soon(tm). Just need to finish the start set first

[@benrichardson5662]

Wonderful work! I don't know how I missed that these models (previously Space Marine Heroes exclusives) were being released again. I have some DG in the backlog that I could definitely use this on!

[@Bodkin_Ye_Pointy]

Love your work. Vis a vis rust, I hate using anything but acrylics so I use them for the rust. After looking at photos, and the rust on my son's chain mail hauberk, I noted a couple of things. Rust usually has two colours, especially when established. For me this was Rhinox Hide for the primary and bright orange for the secondary. The orange only appears on the brown. Also, the rust is best stippled on to reflect the way it sort of colonises the surface it develops on. This was the way I rusted up my Death Guard, (Despite the fact that their armour was originally ceramic concrete). But who knows what corruption Nurgle has inflicted 😰

[@stevenbanks1548]

Excellent. I'm picking up this box tomorrow. Can't wait.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@poseidon1680]

I’d absolutely love to see you do Red Corsairs

[@noah4868]

With the release date coming I was really hoping for this video. Great vid!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Thanks! I hope it helps you out Noah 👍

[@noah4868]

@ maybe I should wait for wave 3 paint range to test the new death guard color :p

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

When I can afford the new kit after the holidays, I know I'll be using this guide

[@evileyeball]

On my Rusted host I started with the DG Green Undercoat and Yeah it was MIGHTY NICE

[@CadiasFinest]

Just seen on Wayland games, wave 3 is up for pre-order. Pre ordered the antique gold colour, it looks great

[@fistyke]

I have a suggestion: mark sections of the video so that it's easier to navigate if someone wants to re-watch the shading or layering, whatever the case may be. I'm sure you've seen videos where you have these chapters on the red seek bar. That would be a great addition. And as always, fantastic tutorial :)

[@redboxer-ux5qw]

This sokoto good Detail is amazing

[@CloneShockTrooper]

your teaching is my preffered

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , DRPA . 🐺 LC .

[@thescreeb6763]

Now I just need the thousand sons tutorial to be on here!

[@markcullimore1]

Chaos metal trim is why I'm a loyalist fan.

[@joelswatten9611]

Nice, just in time as my kill team starter set has just arrived today 👍

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Perfect!

[@joelswatten9611]

⁠@@DuncanRhodesDRPAI have Sigvald and Barak nar burgundy, which would you recommend as an alternative to sword hilt please?

[@chrisfowler9987]

The "two pot" thinners.... Genius. I've been pouring into an old yoghurt pot and wasting the thinners I clean my brush with..... Not just two thin coats. Now: Two Thin(ers) Pots 😂

[@jonathanore8110]

Great work as always, though I admit I have a soft spot for the 2nd-3rd Edition Plague Marines that were a weird hodgepodge of black, dark green and lighter shades.

[@ronaldramsey7736]

Dang that is dope

[@antonkalen5209]

Вообще мировой Чувак, поверь ты ищвестен далеко за пределами Твоей Страны🎉😂❤

[@an0nycat]

Oh no! This video should have been posted on the 7th! 😮😮

[@madprophetus]

Just a heads up - the Duncan Rhodes two thin coats charts say that “Contagion green” is a match for citadel Death Guard Green. The two colors are very different. Contagion green is almost a mint green. This tutorial is awesome but I traded out all my citadel pots for ttc and was very surprised by how different the two colors are.

[@TitusGuard]

Love the video. Think we can get a tutorial on a beast snagged on a squig?

[@zanar_fm]

I was hoping to see you demonstrate Contagion Green from your new Wave 3 tbh, a bit disappointed to see Citadel's DG Green instead...

[@coletrain644]

1:16 I just do the primer coat and start painting over it and correct mistakes with the paint pot version of DG Green and I don't notice any difference.

[@LinkieNecronLore]

I’ve actually been rather shocked with the new formula of Citadel Spray. Its color and finish are near identical to the base paint. It’s still off ever so slightly. But it’s genuinely really, really good!

[@chaosfrogs7]

Support for Papa Nurgle is always appreciated!

[@zacharysmith5859]

God bless u know you've arrived when you hear that glorious inhale at the start of every video

[@johnniefurious3513]

Wondering if there is any reason to repaint the green if you are going to coat everything in the brown wash later? I can't imagine the finish difference will be noticeable.

[@gwitch]

Kinda feel like it’s either habit, or to preemptively stop any complaints of “mine looks different.”

[@dimsumboy22]

so pissed this set isnt available in japan! I want these kits!

[@stevenbanks1548]

I'll need to pick up some of that dragon fang. Looks great. I have a few plague marines already painted and I've found that I like basing the bones in wraithbone then putting on a thin layer of reikland flesh. Maybe some heavier Aggrax Earth shade at the base of the bone. I like using Duncan's White Star to base the skulls, then doing reikland flesh over it.

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

One idea for Death Guard I've yet to do for my models is that everything behind them on the base is twisted and infected, while the base towards where they're looking is slowly corrupted/infected. Kinda showing how the marines are a walking source of corrupting plague! Any thoughts? I have thought about just doing Nurgle swamp bases, but I think this idea could be cool as soon as I get around to it.

[@michaelfielding6666]

Pre heresy deathguard colours are the best

[@Kingmaster64]

Want to print the mezgike dredge death guards. Going for a submarine blackish blue. Not sure what kind of weathering looks good on such a dark color

[@12Bunny11]

Great video, but I was hoping you might be painting them like the Plague Marines from something like the second and third edition box covers and army books that featured them.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Not a bad shout...

[@johnnutter7372]

I love these videos! Does anyone have suggestions for the miasmic malignifier basecoated in abaddon black?

[@ManLikeBeas]

All hail enamels!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

They're great right?

[@stevenbanks1548]

Duncan, if you don't mind, could you give me some advice on 'cleaning up' or brightening up a model that is very brown. I'm pleased with the scheme. I primed it in matt black, dry brushed wraithbone (slap chop I suppose), then layered reikland flesh and Aggrax Earth shade. I actually also did a thin layer of two thin coats disgusting green wash (sorry if I got that name wrong). He's a zombie guy so it looks excellent and you just see a sickly green tinge in the light. However, there's just a lot of darker browns. Is there a nice color that might highlight that? Or a wash/shade that could brighten up some levels? I did some basic edge highlighting with Army Painter leather brown, but I'm afraid if I go too heavy with it it'll look weird.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

I would break up some of the darker browns with something lighter, like maybe beige or bone coloured cloth or straps. Another good thing to do would be to make the base a lighter colour. As a general rule, if the miniature is dark then the base should be light and vise-versa. You could make the skin tone lighter too.

[@Doodlebob563]

Two Thin Bloats

[@vjvadja259]

What about Mortarion Grime tho? 6:30 Just for Green Armour

[@Auriorium]

Love it Duncan. Also pardon for asking but is there a way to come into contact with you? Want to share my work.

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

You can join our Facebook group - Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/1013441033143602/

[@michaelsweatt88]

Possible dumb question, but since the starter set already has them in Death Guard green, do I need to prime them or can I just move to base coating with Death Guard green?

[@corybanasiak]

I was very careful when applying the wash to not allow any pooling, but the armor still looks completely filthy. No streaks, but just incredibly dirty. Where did I go wrong?

[@mainlypositive991]

Awesome looking marine. Is there a good site where I can order TTC paints in the US? Ive found a couple but dont now how trust worhhy they are or if they directly support your business. Thanks!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

You can find a list of stockists here :-) www.duncanrhodes.com/paint_stockists/ Cheers 👍

[@stratagos9097]

Any chance on an alpha legion with a color shifting turquoise. Or cloak/de-cloaking activation?

[@Haahh113]

Won’t metallic paints ruin your artis opus brush?? Just curious

[@robertjensen1438]

Where do you get the bubonic plague? The flea market.

[@theamazingsauce5762]

Why not do a recess shade instead of a whole shade wash and then layer back up? Wouldn't that be easier?

[@robertclassicconstructiona1830]

So first I am a total fan of two thin coats but I gotta say I just don't get the decision for the contagion green in wave 3 , I was so looking forward for this and this color just doesn't do it for me , any reason why it doesn't look anything like dealth guard green I mean it's not even in the same ballpark.......any chance you could use contagion green on some plague marines maybe I'm missing something....

[@dreadtrain2846]

Do you thin the paints you use for highlighting, or just use them straight?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Always thin your paints. It helps them flow from the brush a lot easier, just don't over thin them or else you'll lose control of the paint.

[@Kitbash.Carnage]

🔥🤘❤️👍

[@uchihayui]

Just as I'm about to start painting my first minis and I chose death guard and my paints just arrived? What is this? Early Christmas?? Thanks!!

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Anytime

[@extramileperformance4166]

I'm new to the 40k world. Where can I find this mini? It doesn't appear to be in the Death Guard Plague Marine 7 mini box...

[@stevenbanks1548]

Would AP speed paint medium be a decent replacement for contrast medium? Are they different?

[@DuncanRhodesDRPA]

Honestly, I have no idea as Ive never used the army painter version. Anyone else know?

[@stevenbanks1548]

@DuncanRhodesDRPA I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Cheers.

[@ssvishnov]

Can someone help me with the Rattlejoint Ague rule? If an enemy model has a 6+ save, does this rule effectively take their armour save away? Or does it not effect models that have a 6+ save?

[@fishinomoa7238]

Two things coat washes saved my deathguard. New GW washes are so glossy, my glaze coats bead up. Duncan is the s#$t

[@lesliestevenson5261]

Brill. I enjoy the tone during delivery of lines about painting the pustules. Disgusting! 😂

[@ryanw9090]

Comments for the Algorithm Gods, Two Thin Coats for the Painting God 😅

[@soddof7972]

I still think death guard should be white but with a green patina of verdigris from the brass trim

[@alanbrooks1200]

Are you aware that the 40k - imperium section of your website crashes constantly in safari. It’s only that section and it’s basically unusable.

[@chrisc9592]

Not a toxic swamp base?

[@KelRiever]

I wouldn't ever use a standard, non-metallic GW paint and paint over with the same color like, ever, given the price of a can of GW spray paint. Either I would be trying to save time and use the spray, then straight to wash and let it ride, or if I cared, I'd use whatever standard priming process, then bother to do the coats of paint. OR, but for seriously, if you're going to do what you're doing, I would use some other brand's spray. Regardless, I think saving the time isn't really worth the price of a GW spray can, then going to paint over the same color. And, after all, particularly Death Guard? Inconsistency looks better.
