Pausing video, and dropping my prediction: you're using the pink as a midtone base for the undercoat, whilst using the purple for achieving a more neutral modulation and shadows, simultaneously avoiding the green-skewed chromatic black shadows that can come from using a cooler-toned wash, as I'm half-expecting to see utilized on the predominantly silver armor, and the warmth inherent to an orange or red wash that you might otherwise use to modulate a bright yellow field in other circumstances.
Yup, that's about right. I didn't do the cooler tone general wash in the end, since I want to keep these a little more generic looking, but at least I mentioned it :P
My jaw dropped seeing the pig-iron texture achieved just with the orange-brown sponge layers underneath. Suitably gnarly! Question about these drybrush heavy techniques. I often have trouble getting my soft drybrushes clean throughout even with a soak and some brush cleaner. Any recommendations?
Best I can say is, don't get expensive brushes and *work* them when you clean them. Really go to town. Also, what cleaner are you using? I really like Josonja aka Chroma 'incredible brush cleaner'
@@GRGMiniatures definitely been using the dollar store makeup brushes wherever possible. My soap is the Masters brush cleaner which is good for most things, maybe just needs a better lather to get deep in the bristles
You ever stop and wonder why these guys have fur pelts on their, presumably, HVAC equipped armor? It can't be for warmth. I'm not complaining, I'm just curious.
That pink underpaint really boosts the yellow. Definitely one I'm going to make use of when I'm doing my Necromunda terrain.
This is a dream way to do big, gritty terrain pieces in a reasonable time frame!

Such great work, thank you for sharing!
Thank you!
That's a great looking Iron Warrior! What were the paints used on the trim?
Oops, thanks for asking, I forgot to put them in! They were Scale 75 Old Copper, Pure Copper and Amber Alchemy.

Haha! Maybe they picked them up at the charity shop and just thought they looked nice? Soften up the power armour look a bit
most likely these are trophies of some sort
It's for the Drip
It's for the soft feeling of fur with no clothes on!
