ok well Hairy seems to think im desent enough a painter to ask me to do one of these thingies. im flaterd but not to sure about it. but what the hell. ill give it a shot. due to time constraints. and bein busy at work and hell just being a slowass painter. im gonna do this over a few posts. i figure when its all said and done if its usable it can be edited and reposted by a mod.
so here we go. im gonna show yall how i get the ohh so good and grimy look.
Step 1: i always base coat black.and usualy paint without arms attatched. but for this instance the model was already together. i personaly like to hit my model with coat of black ink over the primer. it makes sure i got all those resseses and thers no holidays or light spots. i also like the lil bit of a shine it gives.
Step 2: ok i guess step 2 will be to base coat your primary colors.in this instance im painting a necron warrior. and im goint to be using boltgun metal and scab red as my base colors. now i see alot of people just throw on ther base coats thinking well im gonna paint over most of this later anyway. but i couldnt dissagree more. this is the foundation of your paint job and you should take the time to make it as clean as possable.(no mater how daunting and painfull this prosses may be. oi!) now when appliying your base over the lower areas of armor and such make sure to leave resesed areas black and your high points solid and smooth as possable.
here are a few pics at the end of stel 2.
next step we will begin washes.
