Thank you ingtaer! I was a bit so so about the conversion before painting but now he has a bit of free hand and glow on I am really taking to him!
Good brushes, slow breathing and many thin layers are definitely the key to checks. Brushes > everything tbh.
Skin is:
Deathworld forest base
Athonian camo wash
50/50 deathworld and Elysian green layer
Elysian green layer
50/50 Elysian green and ogryn camo highlight
Ogryn camo highlight
50/50 ogryn camo and yriel yellow extreme highlight
Athonian camo glaze to bring it all together
It's the GW orruk recipe with more smooth transitions.
Been busy with work and trying to find more of it, but I have done something at least. Played a game of 30k with a friend the other day, got trashed, but really got me wanting to get my death guard done. What do you all think? Took me ages to get the sponging right, my fingers were too big, so had to use a Bobby pin to hold it
Cheers guys. Needs a little touching up, and I need to redo the gold. Unfortunately the gold I use is ruined, so I'm gonna have to wait till after payday. Planning on rebasing my death guard to look more like istvaan, anyone got any ideas what that would look like?
Very nice Lazz, you thinking 3 or 5? Five was a barren volcanic world whilst three was either pretty Terran or a toxic sludge depending upon pre/post virus bombing.
Volcanic could really off set the DG scheme,
Edit for spolier cause massive images. Edit Edit cause spelling is really hard.

Edit for the third; Actually managed to get some ships painted up, a trio of Olympus class corvettes (proxies) and an Ipsha Warglobe. True to form the photo is a pretty poor but will get some better ones in day light for my various plogs.

First thought that came into my head was Iron filings, then the rest of my brain caught up and considered how terrible that would be in a magnet heavy environment!
Some more WIP shots of my death guard. First three are after sponging, the second three are after going over it again with rakarth flesh to thin out the weathering and remove any big splotches of brown.
Nice lookin' termies. I'm putting off doing some detail work on some last minute terrain (scatter terrain) for a large game this weekend. I'm running out of time butttttt (screams) I DON'T WAANNA!
