I'm in need of assistance painting Typhus i have the Nurgle paint collection from citadel and i wish to paint him as he is designed in all his images which colors should i use in which order with which brushes using what method (if it helps explain it to me like i'm both slowed and brain damaged)

I hope you aren't really brain damaged, In any case I am not sure about the finecast models, but on GW boxed sets you can see what paints where used on the back of the box.

I have literally no idea what you are talking about.

Typhus doesn't exactly havethat. None of the Finecast models have their color charts on the packaging.

Closest thing to his colors are on the Nurgle Pleague Marines box. Even then those are really really standart. The images you see on the website of Typhus are done with way more paints.

I'm not brain damaged, but i am after the same paint job as is in the codex, i figured it'll be found in the book on how to paint citadel miniatures.... but i don't own that, right now i'm looking on citadel paint system and following the ghoul one, not sure if it means "later with straker green then nurgling green" or just use one then drybrush

Might be a base color and layer color?

no the base is castellan green it has 2 layer colors 1 drybrush 1 wash

Here is how I painted mine

The green on the armor was actually done pretty easily and quick compared to my normal painting lol,
1.A base coat of camo green. A complete solid basecoat, not even worrying about cracks or dips in the armor or anything, the washes will fill those in.
2. Heavy drybrush of rotting flesh over all the armor, the model looks pretty bright right now but fear not
3. Wash with Devlan Mud
4. Wait for the first wash to completely dry before washing the whole model again with Badab Black
5. Once the black wash is dry drybrush the armor again with rotting flesh, this is a lighter drybrush than earlier again over all the armor but mainly hitting raised areas more heavily than others, or areas where a lot of light would hit, eg. top of shoulder pads, edges of the helmet.

And thats it! for the green parts of the armor anyways.

This was done using the old paints, the new ones will be the same just use the paint converter to find the new names for the same colors

The metal is just Leadbelcher with a wash of Nuln Oil, then a highlight of Ironbreaker. I believe those are the names, dark one first then highlight with the lighter one.

FC boxsets come with colour suggestions [though Typhus is in a blister]

Go on youtube and search for "how to paint ..." Nurgle, Typhus, Death Guard, Plague Marine.
