Dark Imperium - Plague Marines - Finished

It feels like this has been a never ending task to complete. I have finally finished but actually I could keep on painting because there are so many details on these models its ridiculous.

The chaos protrusions etc were washed with blues, pink and purples with red used for tongues. The armour was washed with a 60/40 mix of brown and black wash then highlighted with original base colour. Rust (Model Mates) applied to various bits like chain mail. Some verdigris to areas of bronze armour. Cloth was painted in the same way as the post on the backpacks i.e. Warhammer TV method.

They are amazing models and hope the paint job did them justice.

Dark Imperium - Plague Marines - WIP2

I have managed to get some hobby time this week and have completed the base colours on the Plague Marines.

I started with a primer of Army Painter Green Primer Spray for the green armour.

I used a 50/50 mix of dark brown and bronze for the armour trim and once dry I used bronze for the final layer.

The horns and Bone I painted two coats with Tallarn sand.

The cloaks and material parts are painted in Liche Purple.

The chaos protrusions are painted with white. The models are now ready for the washes which should go faster and with a bit of luck I can have these guys done soon..

Dark Imperium - Painting Smoke the Warhammer TV Way

So to continue working on getting my skills back up to par by following the Warhammer TV guides by Duncan (as far as possible as I don't have all the colours).

 My second learning session, smoke from the brazier on the backpack. Taken from the Lord of Contagion Video.

I started with a base of Codex Grey (I still have some of these old colours).

Followed by a wash of Coelia Greenshade.

Next a lighter grey layer leaving the green showing in the recesses.

Last a final highlight of White.

Apologies for the quality of the pictures, it was a grey day when I painted this.

Dark Imperium - Painting a Cloak the Warhammer TV Way

With hobby time at a premium for me, I can only paint a bit here and there (babies don't give you much spare time). With that limitation I have decided to paint my Plague Marines bit by bit as well.

To start off I am going to paint the backpacks first, actually I did the bases first and I am going to get my skills back up yo par by following the Warhammer TV guides by Duncan (as far as possible as I don't have all those colours).

First up the cloak.

I started with a base of Warlock Purple.

Followed by a Nuln Oil wash.

Next a large layer highlight of Warlock Purple.

And finally a edge highlight of Warlock Purple mixed with a bit of white to make it a bit lighter.

Happy days, good result, I would never have painted a cloak this colour before.

Stay tuned for how the smoke turned out.

Dark Imperium - Plague Marines - WIP

I have been thinking about a colour scheme and how to paint these guys, watching videos and looking at the web for the last week or so and the plan is to go for the look on the box, green base colour etc

However I don't have the Death Guard Green spray or paint so I was going to prime in black and then use a GW Knarloc Green base colour followed by the metallics etc.

After looking at my paint stock I saw I had the Army Painter Green Primer Spray which I use for my Bolt Action Allies and I knew my problem of a base colour was solved.

Top and below are the first pictures of the models primed straight over plastic build.

Stay tuned for the WIP.
