Death Guard: Master the Art of Grime

Death Guard: Master the Art of Grime

Painting Death Guard is one of the most rewarding projects because mistakes actually help the aesthetic. If you want that sickly, decayed look without it looking like a brown blob, follow this structured recipe.

Death Guard: Master the Art of Grime

The Decay Card

Execution Steps

1. Basecoat: Start with Death Guard Green. It has incredible coverage.

2. The Deep Grime: Apply a heavy layer of Agrax Earthshade. Don’t be neat; let it pool slightly in the cracks.

3. Add Texture: Use a bit of Typhus Corrosion on the metal pipes and armor chips. It adds a grit that you can feel, making the model look centuries old.
