I’m super happy with how these guys have turned out. The problem with vehicles tends to be how to deal with flat panels of paint — they’re either uninteresting, or messy if you aren’t careful with the washes.
I was not careful with the washes. Because ORKS WAAAGH!!
Mithril Silver and Alaitoc Blue base was pretty easy. I kind of wazzed Reikland Fleshshade all over the metal, more on the bottom than the top. Drakenhof Nightshade (blue shade) all over the blue sections. Then SW Soft Body Black into the recesses in places.
I then painted up a bit with the Alaitoc, and it mixed with White and added some Mithril Silver in.
They didn’t look great at this point, but weathering saves the day! I took some foam and stippled Mithril Silver and Tin Bitz in places. Then I dragged out the old SW weathering powders, which I still haven’t truly figured out how to use, and put some Dark Yellow into the dusty areas of the front and wheels and MIG pigment fixed it in. Then a little bit of Ushapti Bone dry brushed to help out, because I got bored. 😛
