What the Death Guard range looks like

Shows the Death Guard range rather than Poxwalkers in particular — the same picture stands for 2 units of this army.

Colour schemes

Death Guard — Poxwalkers

Beginner · 4 areas

Almost all skin and rags, so this is the flesh recipe on its own. Twenty of them go quickly and they teach the wash control the rest of the army needs.

Rotted flesh

Basecoat the flesh Basecoat — Rakarth Flesh over the whole exposed area — pallid, not pink.
Shade and bruise All-over shade — Reikland Fleshshade overall, then Druchii Violet only where the flesh is distended.
Highlight and open the wounds Layer — Pallid Wych Flesh on the raised skin, Bugman’s Glow inside the splits.

Rags and remnants

Basecoat the cloth Basecoat — Steel Legion Drab and Skavenblight Dinge alternated across the unit so twenty models do not look identical.
Shade the folds All-over shade
Drybrush the torn edges Drybrush

Improvised weapons

Wood and iron Layer — Dryad Bark hafts, Leadbelcher blades, Nuln Oil over both.
Rust the iron Stipple

Blighted base

Stirland Mud Citadel
Nurgle's Rot Citadel
Abaddon Black Citadel

Mud the base Texture — Stirland Mud thickly around the feet, thinner at the rim.
Pool the slime Detail — Nurgle's Rot in the low spots only — it is a gloss, so a little reads as standing filth and a lot reads as varnish.
Rim the base Detail
