Excellent work, I really like how this trooper looks and it's a nice change from just tan and olive drab green. These new Guard figures are great, I want to paint up some myself!
I had a vague memory of a particular GI Joe camo scheme that I'm going to tweak for my guard! Very rich green with red stripes - perfect for deathworlds filled with polystyrene ball and toothpick forests. Some of the old rogue trader schemes for the land raiders are especially good references. Really excited to get tucked into my box in a week or so!
I would love for you guys to do a snow camo theme guardsman. There are SO many forest / jungle camo tips out there, but would love your take on snow / winter-themed.
Camo is a lot of fun, especially on tanks because you don't have to be neat and tidy, historically speaking, in the real world, the camo schemes were field applied in less than ideal conditions by tank crews, not painters, so they were pretty messy! That being said, it's still a load of fun on a line trooper like a guardsman. I don't use camouflage on my guard infantry, but I do for my bloodaxe orks, they all get their own camo pattern on the armour with weird and wonderful colours, slow but fun and I work slowly anyway so it makes very little difference to me
Very good video, thank you. The colour scheme smacks of WW11 German uniforms but more 'Gamer Friendly' IE SIMPLER ☺ I admire your courage with those oil washes too, but you explain nice and clearly what and how so maybe I'll one day grow a pair and have a go 😆 Finally, yes the new guard miniatures are excellent. I'm currently building a command group this weekend and they go together beautifully if a little weirdly! There rather a lot going on with them for me, I miss the simplicity of the last generation of guard miniatures but heck, I still have a couple of hundred to build yet 😉 Thanks again for a very inspiring video 👍
Thanks for taking the time to comment. With regards to missing the simplcity of the older sculpts, I was nervous about that too. But actually the detail is well defined, and if you paint the majority of stuff the same colour it's not too time consuming!
that's a really cool Guard scheme! Thinking of adapting the Swedish M90 pattern for my guardsmen :) In case anyone wants to add a touch of realism to their 40k models it is worth knowing that while an urban type of camo looks cool and can be found on a lot of clothing it is not very practical in our world. A lot of countries have tried to make it work, to make any kind of urban camo work but it ends up doing the opposite of camouflaging. Though maybe it could work a bit better on industrial mega planets!
@@cultofpaint now we wait for you guys to make a video on how to make a camo that suits a neon party planet! I see a lot of pink, yellow green, light blue, and such being used. that would be a rad camo pattern :P
Not 100% in to the scheme, but has certainly got me thinking about how to paint my guard up. Definitely going to refer back for tips and tricks - thanks!
@@cultofpaint I'm super tempted to go with the classic Cadian 122nd, just to give them a little more visual pop across the table. I hadn't considered your point about too much camo, so that'll definitely be handy going forward.
Just curious but how do the new figures compare in terms of figure height to the previous plastic Cadians? I have seen articles that the Kasrkins in the new Kill Team set are significantly taller than the standard Cadians and other plastic guardsmen. I am hoping these new figures are not going to look out of place with an existing guards army.
Not sure on size comparison. But there must be 20 years between the sculpts? The new ones have good proportions and look right next to an ork, marine, eldar etc
Lovely drab but interesting scheme! Definitely going to take inspiration for some traitor guard. If you were going to paint a tank to match this scheme which do you think would go best as the main colour, black like the armour or the greens and greys of his camo?
@@cultofpaint have a look at the British Berlin brigade camouflage scheme used on stuff like the Mk10 chieftain tanks and FV 432 APC, white, blue-grey and brown, it would honestly look amazing with this infantry scheme, not easy to apply (been there, done that) but the end result would be far more interesting and eye-catching than black
Hey, new to the channel and looking to up my painting game and this video has me really wanting to start up a small guard army in this scheme but I have a question regarding the base….how was it done? I know you referenced it was done like the bases in your other videos but I’m not sure what that is since I just found the channel recently.
Nice. Just wanted to let you know that Abteilung is pronounced "ab-tie-loong" rather than "abta-loong". It just means department or division in a hierarchical sense.
BRO, did you really just call his uniform a smock? lmao that's worse than when I hear other British painters refer to rifle magazines as "ammo hoppers" lol I'm not talking shit, I love your channel, just have to poke fun at the civilian terminology
The Dudley Boyz reference was just 👌💋 *chefs kiss*
I would LOVE to see the inquisition scheme you done for the Kasrkin with these guy's!
I also love how casual this dude is with the plasma
Ben is considering carrying that scheme over onto his army.
Excellent work, I really like how this trooper looks and it's a nice change from just tan and olive drab green. These new Guard figures are great, I want to paint up some myself!
If I had the time I’d love to paint up a squad, very characterful minis.
Upvoted for Dudley Boyz reference, amazing

I’m really looking forward to seeing the weirder schemes
Wow, having the effect of Plasma residue in the chamber was super cool. Very nice job.
Nice work - really effective camo scheme.
Awesome looking camo pattern, just started collecting guard again and am thinking of trying the old chocolate chip camo pattern
Wow that wash really made the whole color scheme come alive, really cool!
This with red visor lenses and urban camo would be quite a Death Squad.
I would love for you guys to do a snow camo theme guardsman. There are SO many forest / jungle camo tips out there, but would love your take on snow / winter-themed.
That could’ be fun
Would love to see a camo scheme based on the real best tag team ever, the Steiner Brothers.
Cheers for the Dudley Boys reference... and thanks for reminding me of my age haha
Excellent. I needed some Henry in my day today.
He is Perfect !
those are just pure magic

Perfect, I'm doing Darktide style inquisition stormtroopers so it's camo fatigues and a red smock under black armour
Awesome! Love this
My god this scheme is amazing, the camo and black armor look so good together!
This looks great! Looks like MTP/multicam - nice!

So many options right!
I think the Swedish M90 camo pattern is a great choice for your IG troopers, I'm partial to the Belgian "jigsaw" camo pattern myself.

@@maxbrandt6 oh that's a great one! will probably do an M90 and a jigsaw test and see which one is easier (for me, kind of a novice) to scale down :)

DEVON!! GET THE TABLE!!!!
I laughed hard at the Dudley Boyz reference.
Looks awesome !!!
D-von! Get me the Plasma!
It's beautiful and impressive. Only leaves me wanting glowy plasma coil but I nitpick.
That’s deliberate. I’m not a fan of glowy plasma.
looks epic
Im not a huge fan of camo but you got it to look really nice.
Subscribed for Dudley Boyz references.
Did these colors on a Leman Russ. Came out amazing! And now I have to spend money on an IG army.
Oh nice!!! Tag us in a pic if you're on social media, I'd love to see it.
I'm probably gonna do a version of this, where instead of camo, ill do a deep red. Think its gonna look awesome with the armor and pants.
Very nice. Strong inquisition vibes.
Not 100% in to the scheme, but has certainly got me thinking about how to paint my guard up. Definitely going to refer back for tips and tricks - thanks!

Boy...I have a huge pile of metal guardsmen that are grinding their teeth right now. But that's ok, they can show the new boys how it's done.
It's nice to see a model just standing about with a weapon again! Reminds me of the old 'not-Tycho' blood angel from 2nd ed 😂
2:02- Mmmmmmmm, “the best tag team”?!? Um, sure! If you say so!?!
If you were to try and match armor to this scheme… how would you do it??
Can you do a Ali G west Staines massive camo pattern on the next one?
Interesting. In my experience the Pro Acryl whites and off whites have better, not worse, coverage than Vallejo/AK for example.
Nice work. What black primer did you use?
This was colourforge Matt black

Yeah. It’s one of the veteran guardsmen from the command squad.
@@cultofpaint Just wanted to be sure! Thank you!

Hardy Boys, otherwise good job.

Nice. Just wanted to let you know that Abteilung is pronounced "ab-tie-loong" rather than "abta-loong". It just means department or division in a hierarchical sense.
mhh..EXCUSE ME !!! The best tag team of all time are clearly the Steiner Brothers from the 93
That is a damn good argument. Wrong, but good nonetheless. Chapter Master Big Poppa Pump incoming.
