Thunderpup Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I want my packs to look battle hardened and war dirty. Can anyone point me to some good tutorials for muddy-ing up my infantry and vehicles?

antique_nova Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 i can't find tutorials, but the GWS vehicle mud track techniques/ weathering techniques could easily be applied to non vehicle models in the same way. thanks antique_nova Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186922-dirty-dogs/#findComment-2210979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hello there! I've been doing the same thing :P as you may have seen my razorback. A great and easyw ay is a mud-wash (I use Vallejo brown (calthan brown would also work fine) + a dot of chaos black + Klear floor polish + water) you want a very thin consistency, and apply it after painting armour/metal/ base colours etc. and then apply a second lighter coat when the model is complete. I also mix up a karker/less watered version for carefully 'splattering' onto the lower legs. Hope that helps! (p.s. I then build up to sand - because I'm going for desert world, but you wouldnt need that :sweat: ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186922-dirty-dogs/#findComment-2211061 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nbolo Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hey! i've been trying to do this myself. What i've gone for is a brown ink in the receses of the armour and battle damage (mainly bullet holes) which are done with a drill and a modelling knife, i think it look pretty effective. http://i892.photobucket.com/albums/ac124/Nbolo/Photo0130.jpg Doesn't take long to do and i think it gives them a mroe battle ready, grimy look. Hope this helps, if you want any advice on bullet holes etc feel free to PM me, will help as much as i can. Good luck.

Brother Nbolo Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Thanks for the kind words, i always thought marines should look a bit more damaged and dirty than the ones you see on the GW site. Hope this provides some inspiration. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186922-dirty-dogs/#findComment-2212691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veldrik Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I think ithe company Vallejio (or atleast some other model company) makes different sorts of effect acrylics. basically they are pre mixed mediums. eg; smoke sand dirt wood cracks they are used mainly for the ww2 line of games and models, so you get a good effect just by brushing on the medium.

I would say use a Testor´s matte spray on them to cut down on the bling effect.

lunchb0x Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 USE PIGMENTS. [/thread] Seriously, using pigments is awesome, youtube " using pigments " and check out the work they do on military vehicles. I use them for all my guard bits ive been painting as of late.

I might look into that, thanks, though looking at them i get the feeling a lot of the shine is due to my poor photography skills, sitting on my desk now they don't look as shiny as they do in that pic.
