Deathkorps Regimental Colour Schemes

It was really not a difficult decision which regiment to begin with in my painting guide series. Of course it GW’s poster boys: the 143th Regiment. Their iconic blue trench coat and their white/tan gas mask scheme already had its appearance on the Forge World Website and slightly modified in the Death Korps Veteran Kill Team. It is also the colour scheme of the new box arts so what better way to start?

The colours use are listed below, this is a Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic only Colour scheme. For the painting I kept it really basic: Basecoat, Shade, Highlight

The Highlights were done using the base colour and various amount of Pale Sand. Light Colours such as beige where highlihted by adding Matt White.

For the shades I used Dark Tone and Strong Tone, and for the skin I used…. ahh just kidding ^^

I also introduced Brainmatter Beige into my first colour scheme as I know Gerry is a huge fan of this colour 😀

Hope you guys like, any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks for reading and see you on the nex one!

Welcome to my new little Project! As I’m eagerly awaiting the release of the new Deathkorps models I was thinking about a colour scheme for the uniform.

I did a quick research and found an overview of selected Krieg regiments and their uniforms. Being the least decisive person when it comes to a colour scheme I grabbed a few models and tried to recreate all of them and see what I like best.

There are a lot of excellent painting tutorials for Krieg uniforms out there, so why all the hassle?

I’m mainly using non-Citadel Paints and therefore wanted to have a painting scheme for the paints I have, and also wanted to provide a colour scheme without Thunderhawk Blue and Russ Grey as those might be hard to find once the models are out ^^

Also there is no better way to get a feeling for a paint scheme than to try it out yourself.

I wanted to share my work with you as I’m sure a lot of Imperial Guard (Astra Mili…what?) fans are eager to paint the new models. I hope this painting guide will give you some inspiration and if you already have your own Colour scheme why not share it here? Lets make the grimdark battlefields a little more colourful together!

Now grab your shovel ähhhhh I mean brush and get to work – happy painting!
