It is called the hairspray technique

This tank is lightly done,mostly just scratches done with toothpick

Here are a bunch of yahoo images of my WW2 Winter Camo themed Guard tank company

This is the technique with using a flat brush(key is the white camo must be thinly sprayed)

1st Merican Lancers

Kind of,he gets a bit crazy with it applying with a brush,I just airbrush 2-3 coats.

I think the brushwork is overkill.

But the idea is the same.

Look into Missing Lynx articles,AK Interactive,Mig Jimenez( the master of weathering) to start.

Remember the Forge World guys who make these tanks are WW2 fine scale modelers first

I finished the paintjob on the two Apothecaries.

I just have to finish the bases

Didn't get too much done today being Turkey-Day and all.

I did finish up the road dust and tracks.

I also added decals to Bakhart,touched up the steel of green overspray.

I reworked the banner bearer,stripping him down and giving him a repaint.

I used two decals on the shoulder the Legion numerals under the Eye of Horus.

The decal sheet I have is a little on the thick side, to combat this I dip the decal into micro-set for 10 seconds instead of water, then go over that with Micro-sol once that dries, flattening everything carefully with a napkin and paintbrush.

I replaced the helmet trophy with a piece of brass-etch

I have made some purchases lately that will see this army absolutely blow peoples minds.

You guys know how I love Tanks and Flyers :P

I have been alternating between Termies and Terrain

I finished the second Cityfight tile the Shattered Plaza.

Luckily my Catheral fits perfectly

I also got my hands on the new defense line which I am using mostly weathering powders on.

The only paint is the Black Primer and Army Painter uniform grey.

I picked up my Defense Line.Very simple to crank out.

I finished a section of trench line.

Pro-Tip if you hate the Cadians use MIG/AK/FW Mud Weathering powder over the same grey basecoat you use for the walls.

It obsures enough detail to make them much more anonymous and more like corpses.

This bad-boy just came today took the good ole #17 blade and reoved all Death Guard detail and adding SoH brass in its place.

With a few plasticard leather shoulder straps and I have the perfect Justaerin Dreadnought.

Having looked at your work I can say thats some real nice painting, my only gripe was your standard troops looked really badly painted until i saw your vets without helmets and realised your painting is awsome, I relaised what caused me to think the models were painte to a basic standard. The green looks way to chalky, almost like its been drybrushed. If you could get that sorted the armour would then match the rest of the models (face/pauldren/etc) in terms of professionalism (sp)

I know what your talking about,probally the streaking fluid I used to weather the armor.

Looks great IRL, I do good figures but my strongsuit has always been vehicles my terrain ain't half bad either :)

Little sneak peak at my December Surprise.

My army has just hit Legendary status

Mind you I opened the box at 4pm

I have it well underway added most of the etch,need to wait for my new etch-frame

IO want serpent eyes on the doors.

I added a topknot to the pilot because true sons get to use the best toys

I ordered Tartarus armor heads on E-bay if they fit the next five are going to look really cool and very close to the real Justaerin models coming out.

Wish they would bundle them :P

I redid his sword with steel base and a Temple blue glaze.

But I started laying the basecoat for the Justaerin Dreadnought

I was able to start adding highlights and scratches,starting to come together now

I gotta say looks much better with just one red shoulder

I used AK Dust Effects for the lower legs. I put in on in a streaked fashion and blended with thinner dragging the brush with downward strokes.

Here is the Dread with finished base
