Terrain weekender - Weekend 4 & 5

It was a quite long brake in my work on Terrain Weekender due to personal traveling but last two weekends I manage to visit my local GW store.

The resolute after last painting was satisfying. First I was thinking of leaving the metal parts as they are but I watched once again GW videos presentations of technical paints and bought - Typhus Corrosion and Ryza Rust paints.

I proceed with the work on metal parts

• Layer: Typhus Corrosion
• Drybrush: Ryza Rust

It was my first time with the technical paints and I must say that the paints are good but I'm not so happy with the result. With the Typhus Corrosion I just cover some small parts of the terrain and recesses. My heavy hand with the Ryza Rust just make it to orange. I did some Nuln Oil wash over the most orange areas but still not so happy.

Lesson learned! With next terrain elements I will once again go with the Typhus Corrosion and very light drybrush of Ryza Rust because the effect can look cool.

Skulls & bones

• Layer: Ushabti Bone
• Wash: Seraphim Sepia
• Highlight: Ushabti Bone
• Highlight: 2:1 Skull White / Ushabti Bone

Because I'm working on a desert themed board I decided that highlight only of Ushabti Bone or Screaming Scull gives not enough contrast with the sand. I did another highlight by mixing Skull White and Ushabti Bone.

Space Marines parts

Because I never painted a Dark Angel Space Marine I decided to go this way:

• Layer: Caliban Green
• Wash: Biel-tan green
• Highlight: 2:1 Caliban Green / Moot Green
• Highlight: 1:1 Caliban Green / Moot Green
• Highlight: 1:2 Caliban Green / Moot Green

Imperial Guard Lasgun

• Layer: Mephiston Red
• Wash: Reikland fleshshade
• Highlight: 2:1 Evil Sunz Scarlet / Mephiston Red

Lasgun metal parts

• Layer: Leadblecher
• Wash: Nuln Oil
• Highlight: Ironbreaker

Reassuming weekend #4 behind me and I’m almost getting the two terrain elements ready. Some mistakes with the Ryza Rust but lesson for future.

Weekend #5

Last weekend with the barricades was just overall fixing and adding some small extras to the work.

The armour of Dark Angels and Lasgun look to new. I decided to add some small scratches by making a small black line. Over that line I putted a smaller silver line and light wash.

Scratch on armour and Lasgun

• Layer: Abaddon Black
• Layer: Ironbraker
• Wash: Agrax earthshade

Last element was the eagle on SM armour:

• Layer: Auric Armour
• Highlight: Runefang Steel
• Wash: Nuln Oil
• Wash: Agrax earthshade

And some overall pictures of finished work. Next terrain element is GW crater.
