Greetings Wargamers & Players, Welcome to MiniatureWar, I'm Meinkopt and in this painting guide we shall see how to paint in a easy and quick way to the Plague Marines.
The choosen color scheme it's thinking so it will be easy to paint and a worthy nurgle appearance.
We start painting the metal parts in a bronze tone, that we're going to add later the aging effect.
First we give a layer base with Warplock Bronze and then when we applied this tone whenever we want, we shall give a wash with Nuln Oil.
Once the shade dried, we proceed to get the toasted bronze tone up. For this we can opt for the dry brush technique or in this case, we give soft strokes in a degrading way to create a more faded effect with the last layer.
The choosen tone for this effect it´s Hashut Copper.
I recommend to give straight lines strokes in a random way without covering completely, this will create a better effect.
Once we give the light, it´s time to apply a wash with turquoise diluted in a lot of water. Once this wash it´s dry, it will create a natural aging effect in the bronze.
Now it's time for the gray metal tones, like the chain mail, the weapon or whatever you want. We start applying a layer base with Abaddon Black mixed with Leadbelcher in a proportion of 70/30.
We're interested that the tone stays dark so it will help us to create a better effect of old metal.
Once applied all the base, we give a wash with Nuln Oil.
Now we shall give soft strokes with Ironbreaker Armor. I recommend to do this in a random way and with soft strones, we shall create a scratched and lacklustre metal.
Now we give a look of rusty to this metal that we just painted. We start with some random dots in the metalic parts. First with Mourfang Brown and then with an vivid orange tone over the places that we applied Mourfang Brown.
Then we dilute some Mourfang Brown with water and the same orange tone that we used to create the wash. This will be applied over all the metalic parts and leave them to dry.
In this step with the wash dried, we apply Agrax Earthshade over the metal, and this will help to get the tones well integrated and will let us create a better effect.
Once the shade it's dried, we take Ironbreaker Armor and give some very soft strokes over it, to stand out some of the more brilliant or no rust zones.
Now it's time for the armor, we choose a classic green tone that's easy and fast to paint. We only need two tones and a shade to completely work the armor with lights and shadows.
We start creating the layer base, mixing this two tones, that will be Castella Green and Death Guard Green in a proportion of 50/50.
Once the base it's dried, we shall proceed to give a wash with Athonian Camoshade. This will give us a greenish and dirty background that will function perfectly with the armor of the Plague Marines or even to give to the skin a putrid appearance.
Now with the shade dried use use the blend of the base to illuminate the armor and give some volume. Here the fast strokes in a degrading way may create a interesting effect of worn out and dirtiness.
In this step we shall center in emphasize the edges and profiles of the miniatures, for this we shall use Death Guard Green and apply it whenever it´s possible with a detail and long haired brush cause it will get our job easier.
For the pustules that might have the armor, we give them a putrid yellowish appearance.
We start to give a layer base with Averland Sunset and then a wash over it with Casandora Yellow.
Once the shade it's dried, we proceed to paint over it, but only the superior half of the pustule with Yriel Yellow. Then when this layer it's dried, we use Athonian Camoshade and apply it in the edges that surround the pustule.
For the corrupted meat, in this we opt for various tones opposite to the general aspect of the miniature so they stand out.
We start giving a layer base of a mix of Screamer Pink and Xeros Purple in a 50/50 proportion.
Then once dried, we give it a wash with Druchi Violet.
To get the volume and light up, we start giving some strokes with a mix of the layer base and then adding Cadian Fleshtone to this mix to give the next lights The intensity and clarity that we want in the skin it will depend in the quantity of Cadian Flesh tone that we add to the mix.
And lastly for the bones and bone aberrations of the miniatures, we give a layer base with Leather Brown of Army Painter. Then we mix it with a little of Leather Brown with Ushabti Bone to stand out the bone tone.
And with this fast steps in little time you will have your Plague Marines to serve the great Lord Nurgle. Hope that you liked this new painting guide, give it a Like if you do so it will get far.
