The weathering is 'Dirt' simple. After carefully shading the lower hull portions I tear off a piece of an old blister sponge and dab chardon granite along most of the edges on the vehicle. I do a second pass with bolt gun metal, trying to concentrate where the granite is heaviest. After that I promptly spray over all that detail using heavily diluted graveyard earth in my air brush. That is it! The graveyard earth is semi-translucent when thinned, so it shades rather than covers, allowing detail to show through. One of the coolest effects is making sure a highly detailed transfer overlaps the area to be weathered. Once the weathering is done the transfer really sits back and looks like it is part of the model.John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-64837738221274134262012-02-13T02:12:15.211-07:002012-02-13T02:12:15.211-07:00these look amazing! would you mind posting a recip...these look amazing! would you mind posting a recipe or step by step for the weathering process?Atreideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304081312256836817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-19852354714947058662012-02-12T18:07:29.774-07:002012-02-12T18:07:29.774-07:00I really appreciate the kudos.

I am not even sure a few of the steps are necessary given the heavy dusting on the lower chassis. <br /><br />You are right Muskie, hunter killer missiles are pretty bad in game terms, especially at 10 points a pop, but I just love what they do to the silhouette of the old rhinos. I am adding the boxy looking search light as well on the opposite side, which gives the tanks a nice balance to my eyes.<br /><br />Dave, you just made my day! Now I have model ADD. All I want to do is jump right in to the FW stuff I have been hoarding. I have an armored LR Proteus already soaking in warm soapy water. <br /><br />Ron, I do recall something about us working on some armor together...John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-74705866425702785582012-02-12T17:24:56.912-07:002012-02-12T17:24:56.912-07:00These look spectacular Sir.

"...The rules state the following regarding FW:<br />"• Citadel, Forge World, and/or scratch built models and scenery only."<br /><br />So you'd be completely fine using FW stuff. Have at it, I say.

I play or used to play Chaos so we haven't been able to have Hunter Killer missiles since 2nd edition I think. The Havoc can be fun, but it can't kill armor, I've been going to experiment with mounting a combi-melta on a rhino but generally the troops inside can have a multi-shot melta cheaper and can shoot from inside or outside the rhino...Muskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328467370627934582noreply@blogger.com
