Scorched metal

[Taz]

I'm doing detail work on a Vanguard squad and I wanted to give the inside of the jump pack turbines a scorched, used look. I was thinking a devlan mud/badab black wash but I wanted to know if there's any other nifty way to make it look like the metal was recently subject to intense heat. Suggestions? Ideas?

A small bit of boltgun or Mithril around the edge either mixed with a mit of Blue or a Blue wash

Hrm, I don't think a wash would be enough, even a heavy one. I'd actually go for a drybrush on the outer casing near the tips. Scorching+smoke doesn't equal a tasteful look it equals a metallic looking barbecue briquette.

The effect you're looking for is called bronzing. If you look at the tips of afterburners on fighter jets, they frequently take a bronze / gold appearance. Once you've darkened down the metal with black drybrushes and those black / brown washes, apply a *very* fine drybrush of a little brown/gold mix, then a finer one of gold, and it should look the biz.

That sounds about right. Thanks for the help!

Get a match/lighter and an old kitchen knife and hold it to the flame for a while (dont burn yourself of course). i think the colour is quite close to Boltgun metal washed over with Devlan/Badab mix, highlighted ever so gently with Brazen Brass

Drybrush black, then gold. Blen from gold down to bronze towards the black.

I typically do my scorched metal with a drybrush of Tin Bitz, followed by a Scorched Brown drybrush, and then a final drybrush of Chaos Black. This gives you a soot-y look like on my flamer nozzle below. For a heated metal like a jet exhaust, I'd follow Winterdyne's post. Also, look at pictures of what effect you're after; different metals give different effects. A jet engine exhaust will not be weathered the same way as a motorbike exhaust for example.
