Forum's just come back up, so I'm afraid this is the first chance I've had today to say Oath Complete



For this month's challenge I wanted to show how I paint my very favourite things to paint, dirty white Plague Marines. The technique is based off an ancient tutorial from Dakka with a few twists. I start with bright foundation paints over a white undercoat, including orange for all the metallic areas:



Then there's a brow wash all over, followed by a black wash on the recesses and coloured parts:



Then the fun bit. The original tutorial had a green wash all over the white. I've found it's more effective to use patches of green, camoshade and crimson:



Then the armour gets close vertical stripes of heavily thinned off-white so that the washes show through. The green parts go in two directions; the trim (such as I bother with, the stripey white technique neatly avoids having to pick out loads of trim) is layered with greyish greens, and the tentacles etc are highlighted all the way to a sickly yellow, with thinned coat of Nurgle's Rot for added yuck. The metals are selectively picked out in Leadbelcher, followed by a thin coat of Typhus Corrosion, then more Leadbelcher:

For February I, Galaspar, Oath to paint Typhus and a Foetid Bloat Drone (GW 28mm)



With all the things I have to paint, it really seems a shame to be repainting something, but my old metal Typhus was a pretty awful job. Also, good excuse to mount him on a 50mm base like the new one, add a base topper which was far too big for the 40mm it was sold for, and really try to make a centrepiece out of him.

For the challenge, there's blood on Typhus' scythe and on the revolting proboscis of the Bloat Drone.
