Returned to Hobby last year, after 23 years. I found that paints in general are much better than then in late 90's. Had to admit that was sceptical about the Contrast Paints (Don't have any yet) but your videos have turned me into a believer. They seem very easy to use and the result is awesome. I'm going to follow this videos for my Death Guard Patrol.
They are a million times easier to work with now! Yeah I don’t really use contrast paints for the original intention a lot of the time but it’s a super quick way to put down base coats and definitely worth trying! Try some on some old sprues if you worried about getting the hang of them first! Hope you get your death guard painted up soon, excellent choice!! Welcome back to the hobby man, please ask any and all questions you have!
I very much like this tutorial for the Death Guard. I only have like three models of them, so you REALLY helped me out with making this as I already had all the paint you listed and didn't want to buy much more.
I think that's one of the best looking death guard I have seen, I think the cleaner versions really displays the model in all its glory. I got the death guard army at Christmas and will humbly try to copy you.
Just watched this video, and subscribed instantly after. Im quite a nervous painter and i have alot of bare plastic deathguard. Gonna give this ago see how i do lol
So glad you liked it pal. And ye a for sure get stuck in and get some deathguard painted. Of you need motivation think about jumping in on my twitch stream and doing them there.
Death guard were my first painting project and I had a blast painting them. I also learned a ton working on them, got to try out lots of techniques. They were very forgiving minis, and being a lore nut I could rationalize the slight differences due to techniques by saying nurgle stuff is supposed to be all over the place. Mine definitely fell on the grimey, dirty side, first by accident then as I learned more and improved purposely. Great mini.
Nice one, I’m painting DG at the moment. They’re such a forgiving scheme as it’s supposed to look a mess😀 have a look at Don Suratos DG scheme, I had a go at that one where you build up with a dry brush of increasing lighter browns on a black base. Then you put the main colours on the model before a brown oil wash and clean up. It gives the model a corroded look. Will have a go on Typhus with your scheme. Thanks again for the videos, always great seeing your process.
Awesome video, the Death Guard are definitely a cool Chaos Space Marine legion. I'd like to see Thousand Sons for sure and maybe Word Bearers, but their color scheme hasn't changed much since the Heresy days
Love it! I like the brightness but would also like to see the more grimy dark version also. I'm debating on how to go with these guys when I do finally start an army. Almost considering going grimdark with oils but not sure.
Very cool! Death Guard was one of the factions recommended to me in the beginning along with orks because when it came to painting it mistakes were more acceptable but this is a great video for anyone looking to paint them :) I hope when you get around to Rubric Marines you might have some tips for the trim because I've tried the paint it gold first method and it's a little hit or miss Great video as always Andy :)
Great video. I'd personally love to see a more rust and grime Deathguard. I'm playing around with a very thin layer/filter of yellow to make the green armour brighter/more saturated and sickly.
Hi Andy! Great video as always. Good for beginners and then works up to pro! Could you make a mistake in a future video and show us how to fix them? Contrast is harder and different to fix than traditional paints and it would help us beginners with less brush control.
Nice one Andy just perfect video for me to paint up 2 units for CSM's new codex. Would you say the xpresspaint contrast Lizard green would be a good subsitute for the plaguebearer Flesh colour armor?
Thanks for this. Since moving to slapchop and SpeedPaints I've been trying to work out how to best do Death Guard and this definitely gave me some pointers. I'd love to see a more disgusting take if you get a chance
Thanks so much! Death Guard are pretty forgiving paint wise, I hope you give it a go soon, if there’s anything else I can do to encourage/reduce fear for you let me know!
Have you considered paining some of the DG warbands colour schemes, like the Pallid Hand? I know that Duncan had a video on his approach to that warband a while back, but I'm curious how you'd pull it off :)
Since you were gracious enough to give us all a guide for how to do the legions in 30k how about the legions/chapters that changed their paint scheme by 40k. Dark Angels, Emperor's Children, World Eaters, and Thousand Sons.
@@MediocreHobbies I was referring to the more ostentatious armor than what you masterfully painted on the heresy era miniature for the Emperor's Children.
Hey Andy, will you be getting round to the plaguebearers? Hope you do, I can't seem to paint mine without being unhappy with them, I'd love to see your method as this little stinky guy turned out great
Loved it! I really like using the contrast for the base the big parts if my death guard. The deqth guard armor really absorbed the paint very well.. I went with Nazgurd Yellow (the brown yellow contrast) and those streaking grime lines doesn't work that well, when the shadies are brown for me. I would love to see a more dirty death guard (maybe in yellow? 😇) Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰
Maybe some day I’ll tackle him! I do have a few ork tutorials up on the channel already if you just have a quick search, hopefully you’ll have something that helps!
Any tips on using Balthasar gold? Do you thin it? I can't seem to get a smooth coat like you, it's either gloopy or I thin it and it doesn't cover properly
do a dirty, rusty, grimy, diseased, rotten Death Guard! to me, the Death Guard are just that, rotten and diseased. They are a sad and unfortunate bunch and I blame Mortarion for what happened to them. One of the 30K short stories are about a 2 Death Guards, one captain and a apothecary , and how they try and save some of their brothers but they all keep turning. It's a sad story and it captures the Death Guard and what they are pretty well.
@@MediocreHobbies true! when you've been a Nurgle enjoyer a little while all you know is pure happiness. Kinda like Pyro from Team Fortress. You know what, Plague Marines could actually be the happiest people in all of 40K.
I really really don't get this method, you do A LOT of extra steps that are completely useless, like the contrast green covered completely by a completely different green. You better just do the normal method of death guard green, agrax and more death guard green, or even better, use the agrax in a more controlled manner. Same thing in so many other places, like the screamer pink on top of volupus pink, it ends up being not even a real highlight (imho volupus ends up being brighter). And again with the black, which covers up everything completely, instead of highlighting it. I don't get it, really
Thanks!
Thanks so much, really appreciate that 🙌🙌🙌

The 40k sculpts for death guard always blow me away. I like to do mine in the pale off while colour with grime, but also have some painted up green.
I also love that scheme. They are stunning models.
I very much like this tutorial for the Death Guard. I only have like three models of them, so you REALLY helped me out with making this as I already had all the paint you listed and didn't want to buy much more.
That’s ace man. Glad it helped.

That’s so kind. I was really happy with him and look forward to doing more.
Id love to see that dirty grimey paint scheme you mentioned!
I will get around to it some day!! Thanks man!
Thousand Sons! I'm looking to start and need to know where to start!
Good to know I shall add it to the list.
You read my mind! Just ordered a box of Plague Marines and was going to check if you had a video on their painting scheme!
Oh perfect timing 🙌 Enjoy your painting and tag me if you post them anywhere!
Excellent video, I would love to see more of them about painting your Death Guard army!
Cheers pal. I am indeed excited to get more of my deathguard done.
Loved it! The grim dark video would be perfect for us patrons =)
Cracking job Andy! Cheers for the video 👍🏼
Any time pal.
Just watched this video, and subscribed instantly after. Im quite a nervous painter and i have alot of bare plastic deathguard. Gonna give this ago see how i do lol
So glad you liked it pal. And ye a for sure get stuck in and get some deathguard painted. Of you need motivation think about jumping in on my twitch stream and doing them there.
Great job as always man. Really inspiring. Would love to see you do a blanchitsu style death guard
That’s an interesting idea.
Looking at that demon Prince i went all like "paint his head whitish with his wings red, the legion symbol personified" but this looks cool as hell.
Not a bad idea at all. Lol

Appreciate it and they are great models to learn to paint with.
You could also do a Dusk Raider and bone white DG with red and/or green shoulders etc.
Solid ideas.

That sounds amazing. I’m need to try it.

Yes I have plans to do a thousand sons soon and I already did a word bearer in the heresy series so probably won’t be doing another one.
Love it! I like the brightness but would also like to see the more grimy dark version also. I'm debating on how to go with these guys when I do finally start an army. Almost considering going grimdark with oils but not sure.
They work so well with oils. I’d love to learn how to use oils proper. One day.
Great video. Very tempted to fire up my death guard army again. A video showing a filthy version would be awesome 👌
I can’t wait to paint more o loved how they turned out.

I will indeed be doing a thousand son and I have a few tricks for doing the trim if love to show you.
@@MediocreHobbies Awesome! I can't wait :)

Finally here it is!!! Finally DG! Praise papa Nurgle
Hahhaha sorry it took so long.
Looks great, would love to see you do one with all the gore on.
I really need to get around to doing that!
If your looking for suggestions on what to paint some tempestus scions would be great 👍
Solid idea. I really need to. I love those models.
Hi Andy! Great video as always. Good for beginners and then works up to pro! Could you make a mistake in a future video and show us how to fix them? Contrast is harder and different to fix than traditional paints and it would help us beginners with less brush control.
Glad you like it and I will for sure do that.
Can we see some other death guard variants please
One day maybe.
Brilliant Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice one Andy just perfect video for me to paint up 2 units for CSM's new codex. Would you say the xpresspaint contrast Lizard green would be a good subsitute for the plaguebearer Flesh colour armor?
Hmmm not able to say for sure but I’m sure after the layering it won’t matter.
Would love to see a technique in white armor.
I have a White Scars video up on my channel if that would help?
Great video. If you end up painting the whole army with contrast. How would you tackle armour panels of a Knight or other DG vehicle?
Yeah. A grime based video would be great. With the armour a bone type colour?
there's a few death guard tutorials on the channel, just have a search! Also bone armour ones too!
Thanks for this. Since moving to slapchop and SpeedPaints I've been trying to work out how to best do Death Guard and this definitely gave me some pointers. I'd love to see a more disgusting take if you get a chance
Awesome pal. Glad it could help.
What was the light green there for the slime
Have been too intimidated to try Death Guard. This scheme though is amazing 👏
Thanks so much! Death Guard are pretty forgiving paint wise, I hope you give it a go soon, if there’s anything else I can do to encourage/reduce fear for you let me know!

I hadn’t really Thought of it: I mite in the future.
What was the green color and the orange for the eyes
Tip Top video as ever, Andy. Would love to see another mutation-heavy tutorial. Maybe also one for Pallid Hand Death Guard too.
Solid idea. Thanks pal.
Since you were gracious enough to give us all a guide for how to do the legions in 30k how about the legions/chapters that changed their paint scheme by 40k. Dark Angels, Emperor's Children, World Eaters, and Thousand Sons.
But emperors children didn’t change. But yes I have been meaning to do some of them for sure there all on my list.

Already done man! There’s a few nurgle videos up on my channel, hope you enjoy!
as always a quality video and explain well thank you 🙏🙏🇨🇵🇨🇵
Any time pal. Appreciate the support from France.
would this same scheme work on the death shroud bodyguards?
@@bigdaveyeo350 I’ve done a terminator as well. Check it out and check out the killteam version if you want it more toxic looking.
or would ur blightlord terminator scheme be better?
Would you paint the poxwalkers that same pink color?
I would indeed.
Loved it!

Any time pal. Glad you liked it and ye I’d love a dirty yellow scheme. And thanks for the support from Denmark. Really appreciate it.
Bit of a random one, is there any chance of you doing a tutorial on Ghazghkull Thraka? Or any other ork units? 🤔
Maybe some day I’ll tackle him! I do have a few ork tutorials up on the channel already if you just have a quick search, hopefully you’ll have something that helps!
Nice vid, what box does this mini come in?
Kholerus from the Space Marine Heroes series 3 collection
@@StudioDogNut thank you. I like the dynamic pose on this one
As dognut said. Series 3 hero’s
If you do requests, I’d be very grateful for a video showing your take on Necromunda’s Palanite Enforcers. Thanks 😊
Not a bad idea. Usually requests are reserved for my patrons but I mite make an exception for you
@@MediocreHobbies wow, thanks again!!! ❤️
Yeah a whole army of those rotting carcasses to be painted here too .. this could be the solution for this!!! Thanks !!!
Awesome man. Glad to hear r
Any tips on using Balthasar gold? Do you thin it? I can't seem to get a smooth coat like you, it's either gloopy or I thin it and it doesn't cover properly
I don't thin it! Metallic paints don't work great when they're thinned! Maybe your pot needs a really good mix, metallic paints can settle a lot
@@MediocreHobbies yeh I figure maybe I just need to shake the absolute crap out of it 😂 thankyou!

Contrast paint is way quicker to apply than regular base paints, if you have a different method you prefer that's totally cool!
