Colouring guide for Imperial Guard
Posted by Simon Larsen in Hobbycraft, Warhammer 40.000 on November 19, 2010
Here is the colouring guide for my Imperial Guard.
Colours are Games Workshop unless stated otherwise.
Infantry:
- Chaos Black basecoat.
- Desert Yellow basecoat w. airbrush, incl. the basing material.
- Scorched Brown on webbing, belt, bags, gloves, boots and gasmask.
- Chaos Black on grenades, details on the gasmask, belt-bucle and across the uniform in stripes.
- Codex Grey on weapons, grenades (drybrush-ish), demo charges and across the uniform in stripes.
- Boltgun Metal on goggles, details on weapons and gear, and ‘edging’ / highlight on weapons.
- Skull White on all Imperial Eagles (weapon, chest, canteen, etc.).
- Devlan Mud (very thinned down) on everything NOT grey, and NOT basing.
- Badab Black (very thinned down) on everything grey.
- Bleached Bone drybrush on everything, incl. base.
- Chaos Black base edge.
- Decals / water-transfers are applied to shoulderplates, use a decal-setting solution on top.
- Varnish – use a coat of GW Purity Seal (Satin Varnish).
Veterans: Bestial Brown on bedroll.
Vehicles:
- Chaos Black basecoat.
- Dark Flesh basecoat w. airbrush, this will be the base colour for the rust-effect.
- Hair spray + fine salt on exposed / select locations. (Where rust might accumulate)
- Chaos Black basecoat w. airbrush.
- Masking-tape in small zig-zags and lines – these will end up black.
- Codex Grey basecoat w. airbrush.
- Masking-tape in larger zig-zags and lines – these will end up grey.
- Desert Yellow basecoat w. airbrush.
- Remove masking-tape.
- Apply a new layer of masking tape and paint squadron-markings w. airbrush. See list below for colour-key.
- Rinse off the salt under hot tap water. Be carefull and fast, since prolonged exposure to water will make ALL the paint come off! After this is done, let the model rest for 24H untill the paint “settles” again.
- Barrels: Chaos Black.
- Tracks: Chaos Black basecoat w. airbrush. Followed by a very thinned down wash of Dark Flesh. Then light Boltgun Metal drybrush.
- Decals / water-transfers.
- Varnish – apply a coat of GW Purity Seal (Satin Varnish).
- Oil-paint / weathering: Use Raw Umber thinned down with White Spirits / Turpentine on rivets, holes and panel assembly lines.
- Oil-paint: Ivory Black Imit., again thinned down, on tracks and any. hydraulic thingies.
Colour-key for units:
- 1st: Red Gore
- 2nd: Regal Blue
- 3rd: Sunburst Yellow
- 4th: … some kind of green.
