So I attended Adepticon this year and took a class on how to do weathering with pigments. I learned a lot in the two hours I spent in that class and finally had a chance last night to try out what I had learned on one of my Imperial Guard Chimera’s.
**Warning Huge Images** The computer I use for doing all of my blogging decided it was no longer going to turn on, so I don’t have my normal methods to dealing with images easily, so you get the full res ones!
I used two different colors on the side of the tank to create that look, so far I’m pretty pleased with how that turned out.
I’m not totally sold on the metallic one, but in this case, I painted the tracks black and used that over the top. I might try some alternate painting methods before using that to see if I can get a different look, but having the mud sink into the tracks is way neat. This is my test tank, so I’m going to try a few more things on it in terms of weathering, and I haven’t figured out how I’m going to do some of the darker colors or if I’ll do some washes on this tank, but I’m still undecided.
