Make it Dirty! (Scatter terrain)




 Looking at the photos I took of my 40k game, I concluded that some of scenery pieces just looked too neat.  Some muck was needed urgently!

Cue weathering being added with a mix of washes, dry brushing, and torn up sponge.

Much better!

The barrels got a liberal wash of Agrax Earthshade, then Rhinox hide applied with a torn up washing up sponge.  The crates are VJ Luftwaffe Camo Green, Athenian Camoshade, then very light drybrush of Elysian Green, before having some chain mail applied with a sponge on corners and wherever they might get bashed.

The  container got a subtle application of Earthshade to recesses - bolts, hinges, joints etc - which was immediately wiped down with a sponge; always going the same direction so that any shade that remained looked like streaks.  The floor and ceiling inside was painted with Black Templar contrast.

    1. Thanks. The barrels were quick and fun to do.

      I think the Bob Olley squats came a bit later. I'm not quite sure who did these. I want to say Bob Naismith or the Perry Twins. I have some Bob Olley sculpted fantasy dwarves that are well overdue a repaint, and the sculpting style is very distinct.

  2. It is the Grimdark future after all, so they should look dirty!
