This has been the most useful video I've seen in when painting my terrain. Using this technique and others, I've painted so many tables in the last four years. Big thanks for getting me started.
I’ve watched probably 20 videos about painting terrain and this is BY FAR the most relevant to what I want to do. I love the look of these pieces and I’m actually excited to paint my terrain now!
To me this is one of the most useful painting tutorials out there. I did a couple of sector mechanicus pieces like this and it looks awesome! And best of all: it's quick to do! It actually seems like I will finish painting all of my terrain! Thank you very much for sharing this super useful tutorial!
Man, I always come back to this video. Painted my Kill Tem Terrain with this guide. Guys, just do it this way... it helps you to get these big things done.
This might just be 1 of the best terrain-painting guides I've seen on YT... simple and effective. I'll definitely be giving this a try on my Ryza-pattern ruins. Many thanks! 👌
I am getting to the 'new' Necromunda late, but I'm glad I found this video! Thank you, this is quick, effective and has garnered a lot of compliments on the table.
That's the trick, really. From here you can go nuts and paint as much as you'd like, but as far as looking 'done' on a board, these will get you started.
Thank you! I’ve got three unbuilt boxes of Sector Mechanicus terrain that I’ve been avoiding putting together because I didn’t know how to paint it efficiently. Cheers mate!
Can't beat simple! The bonus with this is that it's super easy to paint over the top of it with additional colours, so if you want to brighten them up or add a bit more variety you don't have to start from scratch.
i know simple makes a happier life. im more into gaming than to painting so this was really awesome. By the way can you give alternate colors for the red, maybe like a white. like specific gamesworkshop paints cuz i don't know much about painting models...
Your technique is awesome. I just finished painting chemical tank. At first, after some initial brush strokes I wasn't convinced if that's what I really wanted but after five minutes effect surpassed what I expected. Thanks for showing this cool method :)
It can look a little streaky and awful when it first goes on, but keep the brush moving while your paint's still going to shift and it'll come out fine. :D Glad to hear it worked out!
I'm super interested in how those new kits are going to look. I might tackle a different technique when they come along, we'll see how it turns out! :D
Awesome speed painting technique! I also applied it to the necromunda bases and the result was, imo, better that what I got when I followed more complicated (and time consuming) techniques. Thank you very much!
I really like stippling on the larger areas of colour for that really worn, battered look. It doesn't look so much dirty as old, like the servitors trying to maintain it are just buffing through the bulkheads after a while! :D
I've done this with Cryx Bane Thrall axes, you can have a few different colours (brown and orange, silver/metal highlight) to get a bit of a nice rust effect that pops a bit... ... Which is basically the effect already done, I realize.
Since I usually make my own wash that part is not too much a problem. Though I really like the idea of combining that one with this technique - something to try definitely
Your terrain looks fantastic my good sir! I have my eyes on the Zone Mortalis terrain in the Dark Uprising set for Necromunda and this video makes the prospect of painting it much less daunting. Thank you for sharing your techniques like always.
Ooh, a scenery one. Adding beautiful scenery to beautiful miniatures. A mix-match made in miniature's heaven. ^_^ This really was a nice special How You Paint. Always nice to add more paints and painting knowledge to my noggin. :)
thank you very much for this tutorial.i have this mechanicus set from the kill team starterbox and i thinked about that how i will paint that properly for days.and i wanted it simple.after this video i do exact that.great.
Oh man I wish I hadn't seen this. I have been putting off painting my Sector Mechanicus stuff because it's a huge project but seeing how it can be made easier...... Well I'll better get priming
Simple and good looking. Selected washes could be used to add a different effect. The citadel technical paint typhus corrosion adds a neat effects to when shattered about.
I did my mechanus scenery exactly the same way. Except I used a very thin black basecoat so it kind of looked burnt on, with a drybrush of balthasar Gold on the raised detail.
Interesting! The drybrush would really help pick out the detail, and Balthasar Gold's not so bright that it wouldn't look dingy and horrid like the underhive should... I might try that myself for some more barricades!
Nice simple method mate. I'm going to look for a big cheat on my scenery and use a rust effect spray paint as the base coat then go over it pretty heavily with leadbelcher and some washes. Not sure how it'll turn out but on big chunks of terrain it's a quantity over quality thing for me!
I need to try this, i always have the problem that this colored parts (doors/panels) look too clean and when i try to wheater them it looks just like a bad paintjob.
you might still want to use selective washes. for example painting the hatches metallic to make them look working is nice but it looks wierd. on those working things u might consider doing a wash of nuln oil to give it a working look. like it has been oiled and used over and over again while the rest of the piece is just rusting away. also it adds a real lot to the mini. flat metallic or silver looks just wierd without any kind of shadow
Funnily enough, the very first thing I did after uploading was to go back and get out the Nuln Oil. ;) There's countless little extras you can do on these things - especially that Sector Mechanicus kit! - but I was aiming to concentrate mostly on the base.
Good idea for making a model stand out is to rust it, using 3 different types of rust effects and that is it , no washes just whack it on the table and play games!
Just make sure you don't knock the completely innocuous hidden camera I've got watching over your hobby space, or I won't be able to predict the future half as well... ;D
Genial tutorial amigo! me gustó mucho porque es Simple y Bien realizado! me gustó ese rojo mate que utilizarse, me podrías decir cuál sería el mismo pero en citadel? Gracias :)
In theory, sure, but it's going to look different. 🤷♂️ You can use whatever you'd like, whether you think it's going to look good or not. It'll probably look a little more wet and mossy?
I'll admit, if wash came in buckets and was cheaper, I'd probably just dip these suckers in it for another finish. ;D But for getting stuff done without having to wait forever with drying times, this works for me!

Coming back to this a year after using this method. It’s so great. I’ve painted so much so quickly in this method. Thanks again!
Great to hear!

Best painting tips, pound for pound, of any terrain videos I've seen. Totally using these tricks for everything now

I did all my unpainted scenery this way and the board looks fantastic when we play on it, so simple but the results are amazing
This has really helped me get over my trepidation of painting my terrain. Thank you!
I'm terrified of starting to paint. No way I will do the miniatures, but after seeing this video I actually feel I could do some scenery
Many thanks! Tried this to my Octarus terrain and works great!
The exact vid I was looking for. Painted terrain for the first time using this method, it's awesome
Fantastic results! Sometimes less is more and hints at detail are sometimes better than extreme detail!
Brilliant video. I bookmarked this months ago, and still keep coming back to it.

I'm working on some terrain tonight and came back to watch this very special episode!
About to start painting my Dark Uprising terrain and this is the bomb! Thanks!
Nothing looks better on the table than Finished. :D
Every time I watch a scenery tutorial it just doesn't quite beat the efficiency here.
Really simple approach with a great final result and the potential to do as much , or as little as you want!
That's the trick, really. From here you can go nuts and paint as much as you'd like, but as far as looking 'done' on a board, these will get you started.
Thank you! I’ve got three unbuilt boxes of Sector Mechanicus terrain that I’ve been avoiding putting together because I didn’t know how to paint it efficiently. Cheers mate!
Remember: Perfect is the enemy of done! ;D
Perfect for the new Boarding action terrain!
Big Thanks! Best tutorial for mechaicus terrain what I found!
Your channel is so helpful, sometimes I check to see if you have a video before I buy something haha
Thank you so much. It was so quick and it looks great for the amount of time put into it.

I'm super interested in how those new kits are going to look. I might tackle a different technique when they come along, we'll see how it turns out! :D
Thanks for sharing this simple technique. Exactly the optionI I was looking for!
This will really help me paint that new Killzone Bheta-Decima terrain!
Awesome speed painting technique! I also applied it to the necromunda bases and the result was, imo, better that what I got when I followed more complicated (and time consuming) techniques. Thank you very much!
Gave this technique today and wow has it turned out great. Thanks for the video and demo 🤘👊😎
great stuff dude
I'm in the middle of my sec mech kit and i'm following your guide. Bloody happy with the results so far. I went with bone and zandri panels Thanks man
Nice! Those bigger kits look really good in a sharper, brighter colour as well. Can't beat the simple stuff!
Going through agrax earthshade like you are drinking it...that comment made my day 😅

Easy's my favourite! :D Thanks for dropping in!
Nice Work😊
Very helpful!
I am very happy with the results from this tutorial. Thank you!!!
I'll be using this when I paint some of my Killteam terrain : D
Awe yeah, painting scenery!
Your terrain looks fantastic my good sir! I have my eyes on the Zone Mortalis terrain in the Dark Uprising set for Necromunda and this video makes the prospect of painting it much less daunting. Thank you for sharing your techniques like always.
Great tips! Just about to start my Necromunda scenery, so I appreciate this resource!
This was exactly what I was looking for thank you
Also try mixing Mephiston Red and Agrax Earthshade if you don't have access to vallejo paints.
Ooh, a scenery one. Adding beautiful scenery to beautiful miniatures. A mix-match made in miniature's heaven. ^_^

This works so well! Many thanks.
You just saved my sanity, thank you
Great metaphor ! Had me smiling! Keep up the great vids
Nice job! 👍🏻
So simple! Great!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for the motivation. I love the GW Mechanicus scenery but didn't have the image to start painting what I have.
You can do it! Just bash on some paint, you can't go wrong with it. :D
Dude this is an awesome explanation/tutorial thank you!
Great job fella
Thanks, dude! Not like there aren't a million extra things you can do to it, but sometimes just getting it started is the hard part!
Trying this out now. Trying something different for Kill Team.
Flicked through a book that was just star wars matt paintings. It was glorious
Oh man I wish I hadn't seen this. I have been putting off painting my Sector Mechanicus stuff because it's a huge project but seeing how it can be made easier...... Well I'll better get priming
Wow. Nice job
So we’ll spoken in the beginning 👍
awesome tutorial
Simple and good looking. Selected washes could be used to add a different effect. The citadel technical paint typhus corrosion adds a neat effects to when shattered about.
Have you seen Tabletop Minion's video(sorry sss) on liquid green stuff? He calls it a little bottle of filth
I haven't had much luck with liquid green stuff, admittedly. I should check it out, see what I'm missing out!
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio to be fair, it ends up being a nevermind using it to fill gaps, but it's great for making things look filthy/gritty
Love this, thanks for sharing
Another awesome tutorial, what parts did you use to build the top of the furnace? As in the walkway bits?
im gonna try this thanks

super useful
Really cool and effective thanks for sharing
Quick and easy does the job! :D
I painted the outside of my 5 ammo boxes for Necromunda like this last night took less than an hour. Thank you
Nice !
I might just do that to the munitorum containers I got with my militarum kill team, it's seems so easy yet effective
Especially for containers, it'll save a ton of time. They don't all have to be perfect, after all!
I need to try this, i always have the problem that this colored parts (doors/panels) look too clean and when i try to wheater them it looks just like a bad paintjob.

"We are going to do this without any washes". Previous video, no Agrax, and now no washes at all? You've changed man, you've changed....
I tell ya, I really WAS sick... I'll be back to normal before long, I promise. ;)
He's betrayed the wash God's
Dayum right he has!
Old Average Brit Gaming haha
damn this is sweet
Hello, thinking of doing that for my walls and columns set, what do u think?
I'm not one for scenery but this is a nice set. Nice simply tutorial mate.
Good idea for making a model stand out is to rust it, using 3 different types of rust effects and that is it , no washes just whack it on the table and play games!
perfect timing. again...

Wow.
Genial tutorial amigo! me gustó mucho porque es Simple y Bien realizado! me gustó ese rojo mate que utilizarse, me podrías decir cuál sería el mismo pero en citadel? Gracias :)
I think the closest Citadel red would be Khorne Red. I hope that helps! I think I got your question right. :D
Sorry if I missed it but did you not prime these at all? If you did, what did you use? Thanks and great stuff!
These are primed with Chaos Black, though any simple black primer will do! :)
This is great. What do you use to prime the terrain?
Is it possible to use green instead of the brownish rust colors?
In theory, sure, but it's going to look different. 🤷♂️ You can use whatever you'd like, whether you think it's going to look good or not. It'll probably look a little more wet and mossy?
This video lets help me win Army on parade 2019!!! :D Thx mate!
Score! :D Glad to hear it, and congratulations!
Worked in Radio at some stage?
A very long time ago! 😅
@@SonicSledgehammerStudio you never lose the voice and manner 😂
Hi!
Did u start from a black primer coat?
Certainly did!
Hi does anyone know the Vallejo equivalent to the Necron metal, I don't use GW.
hello could someone tell me the name of the colors you used?
Less is more, TY!
What a painting tutorial not using 72different (almost identical) shades of colours !!! Sub sub suuuubbbbbbbbbbeeeddddd!!!
Drink the agrax!!!!
Save money and drink whiskey!
omg. you are using premium paints on scenery. you must be made of money hahahaha
I will try it with a prime coat of zandri dust.
Like no wash, it gets overused. Guilty mysef though.
I'll admit, if wash came in buckets and was cheaper, I'd probably just dip these suckers in it for another finish. ;D But for getting stuff done without having to wait forever with drying times, this works for me!
