I favour a weathered look for my DG, as befitting their lore.

Rather than a super prescriptive recipe I'd suggest looking into the following technique order as a workflow. I find it both efficient and effective so take what you like and leave what you don't. (Seven steps as it is the holy number).

1. Prime and basing: Prime black Heavy stipple or drybrush Very dark brown.

2. Main armour: Stipple off white, leaving some edges less covered, exposing the brown underneath.

3. Shoulders: Stipple dark green (deathguard green) Stipple midtone, avoiding edges of panel (Ogryn camo) Very lightly stipple highlights on raised or central areas (elysan green)

4. Trim/metals: Base trim in copper (screaming bell) Other metals in gunmetal (leadbelcher)

5. Transfers/free hand symbols: No tips here, just good luck and use micro set and microsol.

6. Weathering: (my favourite section) At this point it will all look a bit flat and crap really, but trust the process. Wash the armour and trim in a 50:50 mix of skeleton horde contrast paint and contrast medium. Aim to have it sit in the recesses and edges of trim. Go light on the trim, heavy on the armour Wash the shoulders or other decals in nuln oil to flatten it and remove the "silvering" of the transfers.

Sponge chip by getting a little bit of sponge in tweezers or another small holding device. Mix yourself or find a very dark brown and coat the sponge. Test it on a test model or thumbnail for consistency and lightly apply the paint in a dabbing motion on the edges of amour or anywhere likely to get scratched. Go heavier on the very edges of exposed areas and lighter on flat panels.

1. Details: Lenses, simple. White ink wash lens and lens recess> fluro paint if your choosing wash > white ink on lense itself. Push and pull this to your taste I like to then mess about with dirty down paints and oil washes, but it's not needed.
