company veteran Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 STEP 7: USING AN AIRBRUSH OR ARMY PAINTER SPRAY BASECOAT YOUR MODEL IN YOUR DESIRED COLOUR. i have used army painter dessert yellow. http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u531/company_veteran/88658173-9EB1-4BED-B4D0-69AB7069EC7C-233-000000384A8D3829.jpg STEP 8: USING AN OLD DRYBRUSH DIPPED IN WARM WATER START TO BRUSH AWAY THE SALT. THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE. (at this stage i also blocked in the other colours on the model) http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u531/company_veteran/DF5AB058-7043-47E8-A5CC-299399A476BF-233-00000050FB6509C0.jpg STEP 9: WASH THE RIVETS AND CREASES.( i used reikland fleshshade). WHEN DRY HIGHLIGHT AS NORMAL MAKING SURE TO HIGHLIGHT THE BOTTOM OF THE CHIPPED PAINT http://i1320.photobucket.com/albums/u531/company_veteran/69BA807F-19B1-4516-8412-B445C3DF81C8-412-0000008F39D8F1A1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaStone Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Saw your models inn the other thread and was really impressed, thank you for this, I'll have to try it (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my_face Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 if you really wanted to, could you use fortress grey instead of mourfang brown (for templars) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
company veteran Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 you can use any colour combo you want..if i was painting black armour i would def use grey as the bottom coat.. just stipple it with a silver or darker grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giarc Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 if you really wanted to, could you use fortress grey instead of mourfang brown (for templars) ? Thats what I was thinking as well. Use a grey undercoat, or a charcoal might work. This is really a awesome tutorial. Ill have to try this! May I ask, what type of hairspray did you use? Or does any kind work?

company veteran Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 I just grabbed a can at the local shop... anykind will work. if you are gonna do grey then replace the orange stipple with either a lighter/darker grey or a dark silver. and post pics.. i wanna see!

MithrilForge Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Great tutorial...i have a contemptor for my Dark Angels...im very tempted to try out your technique on him ,wonder what colors for green to use?? any ideas fraters??

company veteran Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 As dark angels green is pretty dark you prob want to go with a warm brown as opposed to a cold brown... maybe tone down the orange stippling too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrogzc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Very nice! Definitely I wll try it in my tanks Just a little question In step 8 you said "(at this stage i also blocked in the other colours on the model)" Do you mean sealing with varnish the mini? Do you apply the varnish before or after removing the salt? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liath Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I wanted to try this technique for years ! Now that I have a land raider to paint, I think I will give it a go. Problem is, I paint Blood Angels, and I can't decide which color I shoud be using for basecoat. I thought about a dark brown, but I'm afraid it doesn't contrast enough with the red. Any suggestions ?

company veteran Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 red could be tricky..grey could work.. or perhaps a dark metal. as for the blocking... i simply meant i painted the rest of the base colours on the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrogzc Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have tryed it! Here is the result: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5uJctAGiSOM/UTE5RaUQOJI/AAAAAAAAAyw/mwxnSAovTHo/s1600/salt_weathering_epic_fail__20130302_020.jpg EPIC FAIL!!! Lessons learned: Size matters!! I should have used fine salt instead. As you suggested, only a few orange with the sponge, I overspongebrushed the model. Also a darker tone of orange (as you used). I'll try again in the same poor model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Blade Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Very nice tutorial. I am thinking about using this technique for my black GK LR, and possibly my Deathwing terminators. Has anyone tried this technique on troops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
