I believe the 'chest thing' is an Aquila if it is a two headed eagle (sometimes on power armour/tacticals) but is an Imperialis if it is a winged skull.
That bone white armour scheme is so good, love to see belial done in that scheme aswell. Also would love to see a dark angel scheme based of the 3rd codex art, that is peek dark angels.
Hearing those 5 words at the beginning of a video instantly makes my heart rate calm down and my worries melt away even if just for 15-20mins. Thanks for making my favorite informative and relaxing videos!
I'd forgotten how yellow the DW scheme has gotten and that white is a such a great look. I'd prefer to see more in that old skool, especially some of the new characters.
It's really nice seeing the old cold white Deathwing painted. Been a Deathwing fan since the Space Hulk expansion. I have a few RT Termies knocking about, I might try that scheme on.
This just made my night, Deathwing are my next army now that I am done my templars! You guys are making it impossible to choose which scheme, but I dont think I can say no to that white scheme, its just hitting different. Another amazing video, thank you! Cannot wait to see the squad painted to sell me even more on it!
I got into hobby during the same era so I always loved the original Deathwing color scheme from the Space Hulk expansions and original PC video game. Thank you for doing this tutorial because most tutorials in the years since have focused on the later beige/red/green scheme.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm finally getting around to painting my Deathwing Knights, and while I love the bone white color scheme, I was just having so much trouble airbrushing the Vallejo Ivory paint. I ended up working with a sort of half-way scheme using Golden High Flow Titan Buff as my highest highlight and edge highlighting with the Ivory. It doesn't quite give the cold-white effect, but I'm quite happy with how my test model is coming along.
Wayne England's illustration of Blood Angels battling Orks on Armageddon (WD110) depicting marines in green camo, and his cover art of a Deathwing captain a few months later have been a big influence on how I choose colours for retro schemes. For a while his subtly mottled pencil shading seemed to be on every amroured surface he rendered but it **rarely** translated to any of the miniature painting of the time. Great work as always - cheers!
As you asked the white scheme. I noted of all the paints I have I didn't have Death Korp Drab - but I did have lots of Vallejo Surface Primers (which would cut out another step). So I quickly got one from my local GW (20 minute walk away). I found mixing 50/50 74.603 German Panzer Grey and 74.608 USA Olive Drab is pretty much identical to GW Death Korp Drab. As I have two of each primer that means I will have plenty, especially when it comes to painting Land Raiders, Repulsors, Dreadnoughts etc. Once again thanks for this, great stuff.
@@cultofpaint I am assuming you considered dot filtering for larger models like dreadnoughts and tanks - if doing the white scheme did you find any oil hues/makes/brands that you considered using to do that? This is so I don't have to think about it.
I always did my Deathwing based on the original artwork which is more real bonewhite built up from dark dusty grey, not bleached bone style. So many people ripped on me back in 3rd Ed for that as it went against the contemporary artwork and GW painted models which was all Bleached bone. Which they all admitted overtime at the local GW that it looked better. As they worked out I tried to replicate real sun bleached bone skeletons of animals we see in the outback. So glad someone on RUclips is bringing back the OG white! subbed
If I can ask, where did you get the checker pattern transfers from, and what size are the squares? I really like both schemes, but that white Deathwing colour is fantastic. Bringing the old Space Hulk art to life. Cheers.
Trying to replicate your bone armour and my flat flesh is no where near as light as yours! Outstanding as always, wish I could get the smoothness you guys do with your airbrush.
I love the colder white that you got here. Looks reaaally good! I’d usually prefer a warmer bone-white, the one you’ve got seems to be a bit browner than I’d like. Both terminators look excellent though!
Amazing paint scheme henry! Love the more bone colour one! Looks amazing! Cannot wait to grab mine tomorrow and get cracking! Thanks again! And also thanks for being a great inspiration for my own channel! 👌🏻👌🏻 hope ur well and maybe get to chat one day. Love u guys!
I have actually found that while you can't use Tamiya X-20A to thin vallejo and most other water based acrylics, you can actually mix GW and Tamiya paints and use X-20A to thin them for the airbrush, its the main reason I use GW acrylics over other ranges. It turned great regardless, always love the deathwing scheme!
I've been playing since 2nd edition and I really have wanted to do a deathwing army for a long time. My first army was sisters. But out of the 2 that you painted I like the white scheme
Both are super cool and quick schemes. Picking my favorite has to be the classic OG white. If you ever wanted to do a master class type longer video, I wouldn't be angry.
I remember the early days of Rogue Trader, where the Deathwing colour scheme was explained, and where the Dark Angels were of Native American descent, hence the feathers and other iconography they had, including personal heraldry for officers. I still love the Dark Angels, don't get me wrong, but the re-writing of their history, along with most of what was original WH40k lore has put me off WH40k now. The Deathwing were almost wiped out during one battle (They originally wore dark green armour, like their battle brothers from the majority of their chapter), so adopted the bone/white colour scheme as an honour for their fallen brethren. They wore feathers on their weapons to continue the native Shamanic practice of wearing totems in their Native American tribes, but it looks like they have removed them from the minis today. Some people may accuse me of lying, but I've been in this hobby since 1972, saw how White Dwarf evolved from a D&D magazine into what it is today, and remember when GW was just Citadel Games, and when they began the Rogue Trader game, which evolved into WH40k, they took the gaming world by storm, even having female Space Marine/Ork minis in their ranges. Love the comparison of the Deathwing colour schemes in this video, which brings back so many memories of trying to paint them myself, after seeing Mike McVey's Deathwing vs Genestealers diorama in White Dwarf way back when :-)
Interesting that I didn't like the look of GW's bone-scheme, but do like yours Henry! Like you I really like the look of the airbrushed armor and the volumetric highlights it gives.
Awesome! My first space marine army when I was a kid was Dark Angels. Still get nightmares about painting bone coloured armour without thinning the paints down 😅 Slightly selfish request here being a big kill team player but it'd be cool to see some more Kill Team minis if you ever get the chance.
They are so lovely! Brings me back to the terminators from my first set, the Dark Vengeance. Although they don't really look like the traditional Deathwing - they are very sand-orange, nor are they top paintjob, but I love them so much. Too bad I have no idea what paints I used back then haha. Meaby one day I will solve this mystery
Hi Henry, love the white scheme, i've adopted it for my own DA army, with some minor changes here and there, i was curious though how you did the Purity Seals? Its the only thing thats not shown how to paint on this video, any tips?
Henry, a while ago I tried thinned Ushabti Bone highlights in your style over Zandri Dust, but it wasn’t contrasty enough for me. Thinking of trying your darker brown, warmer base instead. But I don’t have your Tamiyas. From the Citadel Contrast, or even the Army Painter 2.0 range, what would you recommend for a highlight color and how would you thin it?
Henry, quick question for you. Is that checker pattern on the power fist painted or a decal. If it is a decal, how do you go about measuring it to fit?
Love the old school bone white, definitely the way I'm going to paint my Deathwing when they arrive. So much nostalgia from the Deathwing Space Hulk box art.
any advice for attempting the old school bright white style with a brush? is the full base coat of korp drab still advised or should it be used more sparingly?
amazing video as always, fantastic paint job. that gold recipe is so rich! you guys are my favorite 40k/miniature channel by far. how would you go about getting great dramatic shading like this without an airbrush?
Awesome schemes and might try some out for my deathwing. How did you do the scheme for the third terminator at the end though? Doesn't look as cold as the white one or as warm as the bone one but somewhere in the middle? 22:09
This is outstanding, a real masterpiece of art, I'm going for the ivory one, meanwhile drowning in hype for the new box I've preordered Mind if I ask what primer did you use or any similar brand I can buy, thank you very very much for all of your content guys!
@@martineasterman5170 sorry Martin I do t have any more details than that. I bought them about 5 years ago and no longer have any packaging. I simply ordered a bunch of different sizes.
Yeah I made that mistake. Just because Tamiya thinner can thin regular acrylics and tamiya acrylics doesn't mean you can then mix the two sadly. It'd be great if you could because I love mixing my colours.
Question Henry, I'm trying to plan my paint scheme and want to sit somewhere between the traditional warm bone colour and the classic white colour. Would you recommend changing oil wash at all to maybe a more subtle sepia type or would the difference be negligible? Im worried I'll push it into the brown armour zone or leave the minis undefined. Thanks
I think the oil wash change will be negligible in this case. You may be better doing the bone scheme and then adding another highlight stage where you mix in some white.
What are the xf numbers for flat earth and flat flesh. My local shop list them xf-52 which looks really brown and xf-15 which looks similar to the one in your video.
I really love this method and so will try and replicate for ultramarines. For the black oil wash, do you gloss varnish forst to reduce surface tension?
Is it possible to do something similar with greens like you did with the brown terminator? I was trying to figure out how to do some death guard models that had hints of green as the base coat and a primary colour of deck tan with only the base coat in the shadows
absolutely. Find that lightest colour you want ( probs deck tan) find a green you like and then try the 50/50 mid tone approach. I reckon it'll look great.

When the Lion came out GW featured a stark white paint scheme for him, and the idea of white tone dark angels has forever been in my mind since.

Good work guys. I love the look of the white death wing. probably because it ticks that nostalgia box from the fantastic old artwork.
I love this one. To me Deathwing was always pure white as that's how they were in the boardgame expansion and the DOS game I played as a kid
I'd forgotten how yellow the DW scheme has gotten and that white is a such a great look. I'd prefer to see more in that old skool, especially some of the new characters.
It's really nice seeing the old cold white Deathwing painted. Been a Deathwing fan since the Space Hulk expansion. I have a few RT Termies knocking about, I might try that scheme on.
I love that cool white classic look of the Death Wing. WOW.
Both are astounding. The shot of all 4 at the end looked so epic.
Really love that ivory one, more pure white than I’ve become accustomed to seeing them - looks great!

I really like both of them, the space hulk squad sounds like it’ll be a really cool little project too!
Love the classic white colour scheme.
They all look great! Thanks for sharing these recipes. I prefer the new skool because it just looks cleaner

Another cracking one...honestly can't which I like more. Terminators always look awesome haha...I think if I had to it'd be the white ❤
Love the bone colour, but the white is my new favourite Deathwing 🤘🏻
I am so used to see them in bone-ish colors, really digging the white one.
Love these, Henry. Really like the old school pale/cooler white. Really tickled my fancy.
Thanks mate. Me too, dangerously!
@@cultofpaint I really don't need things like this in my eyeline. Low model, high point, elite forces are far too easy a distraction.

Really like both schemes
Love the old school cold white. The new yellow schemes are so over-done at this point.
That ivory one is amazing! Incredibly striking and almost looks like he’s covered in ash. Quite fitting for the original Deathwing lore.
Bone White all the way! Gives a far nicer contrast to Dark Angels green!
Love the bone white armor! 1993 Space Hulk pc game cover! One of the toughest games I've ever played!
I love the colder white that you got here. Looks reaaally good!
I’d usually prefer a warmer bone-white, the one you’ve got seems to be a bit browner than I’d like. Both terminators look excellent though!
I like the cool scheme better. Great video by the way

Hard to know which I prefer, either of these or the deck tan scheme you did back for indomitus. All of them would be great army schemes!

@@cultofpaint Thank you!
Nice.
Never understood the bleached bone when in the plains world story the amour should have been daub ash white.

kinda need 2 more but in reverse, brown base with white highlight and green base with tan highlight haha, to know more :P
Question Henry, I'm trying to plan my paint scheme and want to sit somewhere between the traditional warm bone colour and the classic white colour. Would you recommend changing oil wash at all to maybe a more subtle sepia type or would the difference be negligible? Im worried I'll push it into the brown armour zone or leave the minis undefined. Thanks
I think the oil wash change will be negligible in this case. You may be better doing the bone scheme and then adding another highlight stage where you mix in some white.
Appreciate the reply, ill do a test see how it goes@@cultofpaintCheers x
Weasel-fierce approves!
How come the white colour scheme looks so grey/white when the colours you are using have a brown undertone?
Yo Henry, great video as always my man. Did you get yourself a new mic? You sound so crisp and clean
Thanks mate, i've just had time to dial in the settings, and for the first time in about 3 months dont have a cold!
Still torn between bone white or heresy era colour scheme for my new DA army.
What are the xf numbers for flat earth and flat flesh. My local shop list them xf-52 which looks really brown and xf-15 which looks similar to the one in your video.
Yeah 52 and 15. Have added to the description
When you are glossing the models before the initial oil wash, are you thinning the vallejo gloss varnish and how much?
i have to thin mine, about 3 drops of thinner for each drop of varnish.
I really love this method and so will try and replicate for ultramarines. For the black oil wash, do you gloss varnish forst to reduce surface tension?
If necessary, it depends how matte the finish is on your blue.
Thanks, I am using citadel paints thinned with XF-20.
Is it possible to do something similar with greens like you did with the brown terminator? I was trying to figure out how to do some death guard models that had hints of green as the base coat and a primary colour of deck tan with only the base coat in the shadows
absolutely. Find that lightest colour you want ( probs deck tan) find a green you like and then try the 50/50 mid tone approach. I reckon it'll look great.
They both look amazing can’t wait for next weeks video!.. one question I have is how did you get the checker pattern on the power fists so perfect?
