Scenery - Painting Rust

-

I have always liked the grittier side of modelling and painting, a career as an architect has told me when I need to articulate something as an abstract or as a realistic interpretation of texture to make it believable. I delved a little into this with my Lizardman pool earlier, with the interest in the possibilities of "water effects" really the driver for that project. Likewise I bought a set of pre painted Pegasus hobbies barrels to repain for use in necromunda. These are really a test of the rust effect products I have lying around.

Modelmates

I've had a set of modelmates rust effect on my desk since salute and having heard a great deal about this product, have been looking for an opportunity to give it a whirl. The prepping of the barrels effectively meant I painted them up to the silver highlight stage, these have been weathered with citadel and army painter washes (left hand set) but then to test what u can do with modelmates I went all out at another set of barrels with my new effects (right of image).

The rust effect here is added in three layers of progressively lighter modelmates, this is probably what caused the over-effect I ended up with. It goes on translucent and quickly turns rusty.. I was impressed. To add to this I used the forgeworld rust weathering powder to give the dry final texture over the top of the modelmates. This was then give a speckling of the Ryza Rust effect paint to give it a little depth, and the edges were again picked up in a dry silver paint from citadel.

Just a quick one but the difference from a couple of minutes work is staggering and I'll be using this on all my necromunda bulkheads and bases from now on. A small amount of ooze was used to juxtapose the texture on the barrel surface with something shiny and gooey.


Let me know how you paint rust yourselves.

 Warhammer Fantasy - Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus

  Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus  I was always on the lookout for a model to represent the Necrolith Colossus in my Tomb Kings army. When the Hobbit spotted a 3D printed model on eBay and ran out of his hole shouting and squealing that it may be a good proxy, I thought I better take a look, if only to stop the neighbours complaining... There is a big temptation for getting my Tomb King army match fit for the release of The Old World. ( Assuming that the unit roster and base sizes will be similar to 8th edition ). When I saw the photo of it, I immediately recognised that it was, in fact, a great model to represent a Necrolith Colossus armed with a Bow of the Desert. Patting the little guy on the head, I couldn't really tell if the quality of print was good but decided to take a chance and ordered it. A few days later a Royal Mail hawk arrived with my Necrolith Colossus.   ( Unfortunately, I cannot remember the vendor's details but the purchase went ...

  Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 Har Ganeth Darkshards Time to increase the core unit count of my Khainite force with some Darkshard s . This will not only increase the unit count but enable me to field an army at a higher points level. Their addition will also give me some variety in unit type, in regards a bit of range, as most of the army is melee based. HEY YOU ! Yeah you with the Beard..  Why not follow us on Instagram?   @Tabletop_hobby.blogspot I'm assuming Har Ganeth, as a major Druchii city, will be able to field a 'city guard' of some sort, (it certainly does in the Malus Darkblade novels - FD) . I felt  Darkshards  seemed the most appealing and appropriate to start with, this will install some missile capabilities in the army. Darkshards These are the standard core unit box set models that can also be assembled as Bleakswords  and Dreadspears .  I had enough parts to assemble a unit of 14 models including a command group and I also decided to hav...
