So, you might remember a while back I posted a picture of a work in progress stompa. If you don’t, no need to go back and look as here is the finished stompa!
After laying down the base coat which mostly consisted of various shades of green Vallejo primers I hit all the spots I wanted a color aside from green. I find being able to hit just the right spots with color is less technical than the actual painting process but an equally important skill. Or at least I like to tell my self that as I tend to spend a lot of time deciding what to do with color.
Anywho. For the weathering I used a wide spread of products. The initial wash consisted of a burnt umber oil wash over the whole of the model. Nuln oil was used on the large white surfaces. Ak streaking products were used on the guns and the giant chain sword along with their NATO black wash. Once this was all sealed on with dull cote on came the weathering powders. Seriously, I kinda went to town during this step but, hey, it’s Orks we are talking about here.
What really worked was hitting an area with a bit of the oil wash first by dipping your brush then drying it and rubbing what’s left onto the model then using a separate brush, stippling on the weathering powders.
The rust on the exhaust started as vallejo’s hull red with a dark brown oil wash on it. Before it could dry I applied various rust powders to them and forgeworlds soot black to the tops specifically.
The eye was airbrushed on workings through red orange and yellow, taking care to only hit highlights as I worked my way through.
As you can see the commander isn’t finished yet but he is close to done. Maybe Ill give him his own post. Till then enjoy!
