Death Guard Colour Scheme Generator

Trim and bare plate. Basecoat steel, wash dark, then edge bright silver.

Bolters, blades and casings. Dark gunmetal, washed black, edged with bright steel.

Straps, holsters and bare wood. Mid brown, shaded, then drybrushed a lighter tan.

Faces and hands. Basecoat, a flesh wash into the recesses, then build the highlights back up.

Lenses, eyes and energy. A bright spot colour that pops against the armour - dot it on and add a white glint.

Groundwork. Earth basecoat, drybrushed bone, finished with your choice of grass, sand or snow.

Stipple orange-brown around rivets, vents and lower edges. Vary the tone so it reads as organic decay, not a flat colour.

A touch of pale turquoise on brass and copper trim sells centuries of rot. Use it sparingly.

Glossy deep red in wounds, mouths and exposed guts - wet rot against the matt armour.
