Bloodmange Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hey, I dont know if my search-fu is off but could anyone point me in the direction of how to paint mud on tanks? I'm not looking to just stipple some brown on, I wanted a bit more of a caked on look especially toward the back for Rhinos, Predators, and Land Raiders.

Eiric Hakon Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Personally for mud id paint it as the following: paint a layer of Scorched Brown over the 'clean' paint scheme with a second layer of Bestial Brown allowing the first layer to be seen and then a final layer of Vermin Brown. Perhaps highlight parts with a lighter colour of brown. Wet mud is more simple with only the Bestial Brown and Vermin Brown with a few darker tones mixed in as well. For a sort of caked on effect you might want to try mixing a little PVA glue into it. They used to have a nice tutorial under the Black Templars before the update which had (the one with hyper realism, extreme highlight etc-if anyone knows how to find it or know its content I'd be most grateful if you PM'd me.). Hope that helps :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193384-painting-mud/#findComment-2297769 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selorian Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 A very easy way to get thick, realistic mud is to use a Tamiya Mud Stick. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/193384-painting-mud/#findComment-2373933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
