My Imperial Guard are a brown version of the Cadian Guard. Just putting that out there before we get too deep into this and you're like "Wait a minute. That's not the right color."
I don't know what to do about this new color range GW is bringing out. I might have to put these Step-By-Steps on hold until I figure out what colors are equivalent and which ones aren't. For now, the colors are the old ones. I might post a few color comparisons when I get some of the new colors in, so we can all see just how they all line up.
Step 1: Basecoat
Also note, this model is magnetized. I'll be showing the various weapons attached throughout the tutorial.
Step 2: Calthan Brown
Step 3: Dheneb Stone
Yay for patchy camouflage!
Step 4: Skull white
This was edged/drybrushed over the areas that were painted in Dheneb (except for the bone/skull parts).
Step 5: Kommando Khaki
Edged along the Calthan Brown parts.
Step 6: Boltgun Metal
All the mechy bits got coated, as well as a few strategically placed scratches and scuffs along the armour plates.
Step 7: Shining Gold
Autocannon bullets, aquilas, winged skulls, etc. We are now ready for washes.
Step 8: Devlan Mud
This goes over all the brown, dheneb stone, and gold.
Step 9: Badab Black
This was applied to all the Boltgun Metal bits.
Step 10: Ogryn Flesh
For the little dude's face.
Step 11: Bleached Bone
This was a heavy drybrush along the skull to bring some color back.
Step 12: Skull White
A much lighter drybrush on the skull.
Step 13: Gryphonne Sepia
Applied to the sides and forehead of the skull.
Step 14: Enchanted Blue
This is the base color for the targeting lens and the pilot's visor.
Step 15: Regal Blue
Applied in the upper left area of the targeting lens and visor. The white dot will go in this area later.
Step 16: Ice Blue
This was applied as a line along the lower area of the targeting lens and visor.
Step 17: Skull White
The light-reflection dot in the dark blue region of the targeting lens and visor. While I had it out, I put the Company number on the side and painted the missile heads.
There we have it. Let me know what you think.
