Warlord Titan: Heat Bloom!

Hi all. 

I have taken another step in my hobby experience now. Adding heat damage to weaponary. 


So this was something I was really worried about doing. I researched it lots, found some great guides online, but just wasn't confident. 
Luckily the new HH Masterclass book showcases how to do this. 

So I followed their guide and used FW's clear airbrush paints. 

Step 1: Clear blue - Calth Blue

Step 2: Clear Purple - Eidolon Purple

Step 3: Clear Red - Angron Red

Step 4: Clear Orange - Pyroclast Orange

Step 4: Clear yellow - Sigismund yellow

It is a really effective and easy to achieve technique. I'm pleased with the results too. 


Well Bone Garland is carrying on at a better rate now. Next stage will be finishing all surfaces prior to oil weathering the panels.

    Awesome!

    Funny that we both started to try the heat effects ^_^

    Used the brush for mine so far (since I used them for my graviton gun and lascutter, both are too small for the airbrush afaik) - but will try the airbrush guide with my Ork tanks :)

      How did it look with a paintbrush? Did it come out well?

    Looks good! Will try using that on some of my tanks bigger guns when I get there!

      Keep going Siph! It is such a large project that it feels like each section is an individual unit! Getting to the end of that tunnel now!

      Yep. All flat at the moment. Mainly base colours. But the weathering will see to that!!!

      Cheers. Really pleased. The technique I am copying for the Titan weathering on the panels is really interesting too. It's how they did it on the FW Mortis Warlord and some of the Knights. Come back for that soon :)

    Absolutely stunning, and terrifying at the same time. A very inspiring piece of work.

    I use exactly the same pattern of colours using washes. Your technique looks incredible and far better than my own over such a large weapon. As I've been struggling with heat over larger surfaces recently your tips could be very useful.
