This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
No political or social cause agenda pushing.

Trying Something New

So for the Knight Tyrant I've put together a Rhino to act as a scenic base. The plan is to paint it as a Dark Angels tank (My buddy plays Dark Angels). So I'm putting down an initial metallic layer with rusting and then I plan to try the hairspray & salt chipping method.

I’ve found that in terms of area less can be more, while in terms of brightness and saturation you can sometimes really pump it up.

My main rust recipe is sponging gently with foam, starting with brown, then dark brown red, and up through oranges. Very light passes. Streaking fluids from companies like AK can be good if you plan on doing a lot of rust.

If you want a real expert, I’d watch Night Shift and try to adapt some techniques.
