Tutorial Tuesday #8: Your Rhino’s All Rusty….
Hey guys, So after working on the squad of Plague Marines and their Rhino for my latest Commission, I figured it’d be worth it to share my techniques for doing a rust effect on your figures. Its honestly really easy and adds a good effect to not only Nurgle figures, but orks, Skaven, Guard, and other armies that rely on metals but don’t do the best cleaning job. Materials Needed Scorched Brown Fiery Orange, Blazing Orange, or even Bestial Brown Sunburst or Bad Moonz Yellow An old brush/ drybrushing brush. Models that need rusting! Alrighty, first off, lets look at a rusting piece of metal. Reference pictures are always nice! You can see a changing of tones and brightnesses. There’s some dark brown areas, some orange midtones, and some bright almost yellow areas. 1) Base the area in Scorched Brown. If you’re doing a rust patch on the model, stipple the paint onto the area by dipping the brush in the brown, then pushing the bristles onto the model. 2) Using a 1:1 mix of Scorched Brown and Fiery Orange, drybrush onto the model. The drybrushing will keep the dark colors in the recesses
