Just after the battles I had for the opening of the Purokar League Campaign; I have decided to finish off a pair of Contemptors I started 2 years ago and some other units for extra stopping power.
As they stand. I decided on doing one generic and with the most common Death Guard armament (Multi-Melta and power claw - See Betrayal) as well as another one which is plasma heavy (mainly as there was an image of Heavy support Legionaires sporting Plasma Cannons in collected visions).
Leave to bed in for 2-5 minutes.
You can add slightly oil tainted white spirit pools too at the bottom of armour plates to give it a brighter towards the top vibe and grimier towards the bottom (see how it looks on the Contemptor's left leg in pic above (right leg on photo)).

They look fab.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great way of getting realistic looking wear effects quickly.
As I already told you - I love love love love love your Death Guard :)
ReplyDeleteDo you prefer the purity seal/oil paint method to the AK interactive streaking paints that you used on the infantry? Or is that method simply easier on large models?
ReplyDeleteHi. The oil paints work really well on big areas. The AK streaking was used on the Contemptor too (the rust that I referred to as raw sienna), but as the colours are so similar and the end results are very similar I didn't want to confuse things. But the only thing I think is slightly better about oil paints is the flooding/pooling as it thins a easier and the pigments are microscopic.
DeleteHi, do you use normal matte varnish at the end or will it cause trouble because of the oil paint?
