Valkyrion Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/File:Red_s...pg#.UMiGkeTtTp9 How would you go about getting an effect like this, where the original details of the armour are still visible under a layer of dust?

Darklighter Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Forgeworld weathering powders. I've used them mainly on vehicles and buildings but now I've had some practise I'm going to go back over my models and hit them with a smattering.

Razblood Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Coloured chalks would be a good option, much cheaper than FW Weathering Powders too :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267605-how-to-dust/#findComment-3259347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I've just managed to get time to find a picture or two for you to look at. Here is an imperial layout I've just finished for a local gaming club, http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Imperial%20buildings/layout1.jpg And here is a my vehicles to show a heavier application of the same powders, http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq292/Troggman/Blood%20Angels/Rightsidemudded.jpg I'm a total novice with these powders and the tank is the first thing I've attempted with them. Here are a few vids that helped me out (it's a link to my play list they are not in any kind of order sorry!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nx1e6ooh8PA...9F632A4AE7593B1 Also having not used coloured chalks I can't really comment. I went for the FW powders as I new they'd do what I wanted and I really don't think they are expensive especially as you use next to none of it. I only use half a pot of each pigment or less (much less in most cases) on the whole terrain layout.

Valkyrion Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Someone suggested to me to try spraying down on the model from above at a fair height, though it seems as though there will be little room for error doing that...

facmanpob Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I use one of the Tamiya Weathering Master sets - much cheaper than Forge World. I use Weathering set 'A' - Sand, Light Sand and Mud. You might also try one of the historical modelling sites, as the tank modellers (especially WW2 modellers) are superb at getting realistic weathering and dust effects. :lol: I used the set on these models, most noticeably on the legs and shin guards of the dread and tracks and lowest parts of the hulls of the Rhinos http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/3rd%20Company/IMG_0818.jpg http://i548.photobucket.com/albums/ii324/facmanpob/Miniatures/Space%20Marines/3rd%20Company/IMG_0791.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267605-how-to-dust/#findComment-3260190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartali Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Coloured chalks would be a good option, much cheaper than FW Weathering Powders too :P Plenty of companies sell weathering powders/pigments - MiG, AK Interactive, Secret Weapon, Vallejo, Tamiya, Forge World. But as Razblood suggests, it's a lot cheaper to just buy a set of Artist Pastel Chalks and sand the powder of the sticks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267605-how-to-dust/#findComment-3260220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I use one of the Tamiya Weathering Master sets - much cheaper than Forge World. I use Weathering set 'A' - Sand, Light Sand and Mud. You might also try one of the historical modelling sites, as the tank modellers (especially WW2 modellers) are superb at getting realistic weathering and dust effects. :P I too have Tamiya's set 'A' and love it. I used it on my Sternguard and more noticeably my dreadnought in my Hall of Honour thread (link in sig) and it's great. I've been using the 'mud' one on my IG, giving infantry full-body might dustings and it makes them look rough and dirty without being over the top. Highly recommend it.

The Sound of Machines Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hey mate, I've done two tutes on this: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3...8742&type=3 http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2...8742&type=3 There's some painting stuff in there two, but they both get pigments at the end. Check them out if you like. Luke Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267605-how-to-dust/#findComment-3262981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
