I haven't added any weathering or washing. I could use suggestions and feedback. Too clean for Death Guard?

If it were mine, I'd go more with a bone color on the white areas, lighten the green, and try a brass on the gray areas.
But that's just me.
I do like the way you've demarcated the various parts of the model. The breakout and color balance should work nicely, with the three major color areas as you've defined them.

How about adding washes or just adding streaks from wind damage?

Just a thought. I usually use rotting flesh or bone, not white for my DG and my base greens are either Camo or Goblin Green

had a few minutes at lunch -

Ah, lovely, maybe some blood splatter on a windshield? And some heat damage on the turrets and exhaust. I really do love the wind damage.

definately. Once I start the model I'll be all over that.

Any pus sacs and general rot in the works?

Personally I'd reverse the colours.

Preheresy death guard were off white with green trim.
BUT it would depend if you went with bone/white for the main colour or a green on your deathguard.

Good point. I have green as my main color base

so here:

i would rather see the white/green on the flat surfaces/armor plates and use brass as the in between and trim color. maybe green on the main wing surfaces (like the first pic) white on the armor plates (where its grey now) and brass on all the inbetween trim stuff

It seems too unfinished with the gray. But, I love the transition you did, quite amazing work. I love watching this thing come together!

Probably because it is "resin gray" now, but yes, something other than gray would be better.

Remember, this is just a photoshop mock up.

Really?... Well then... all my comments are void!

It is a photoshop mock up to see which way to go with the scheme. It actally made things easier in the long run, and in case you were wondering, all resin grey parts will be based with boltgun metal

Well, I do like the maily white paint scheme better. It still looks a little too clean for chaos, for reference when you actually do paint it. You need to make it so grotesque that just looking at it would cause an IG to hurl, then shoot himself in the head, that's my opinion on Chaos painting. If you're going for preheresy as in, still on the side of the Imperium, nevermind then. I'd still add some scratches and blast scars, and I'd deepen the green, personally, to really accent the white. At the moment it kind of drowns it.

... I still think it looks lovely.

I'd make the green deeper, and throw a few more metallics on him (the grey areas should be rusty metal colors).

Boltgun Metal doesn't cut it. I think Brass would work much better.

Granted, again, that the green is deeper.

I'm never a fan of grey on stuff like this. Looks too much like unprimered plastic. I'd tend to go with some sort of brushed steel look or if that's too light/silvery, use a darker "cast iron" look.
