Heck yes! I am always down for some nice weathering :D Thanks for the tips. As for the pigment powder, you can also make your own from cheap chalk pastels (not the oil kind)
Alright hear me out, part two to this video. LED and clear colored resin inside behind the holes youve made make it look molten or as if there is fire inside
Thermal tempering and oxidation on the tips & shrouds of the exhaust stacks. Soot up those lips of the exhaust stacks and some light dust streaks trailing behind them. Pile up dust around those air intakes in the black panels. Mud streaking from rooster tails on the back fenders over the treads. A grimy/bloody hand print/streaking on a fender cowl or door.
I will get some char from my fried foods and spread it on the model. I was cleaning rust from the apartment I moved into and saved the rust that washed away for pigment.
@@bribri9917 Yeah, man. Carbon black and iron oxide are some of the oldest and most common pigments. Super easy to use. We really only pay for purity and reliability in the products we buy, so if you are looking to make things ultra cheap then have at it. It's your life. Do you.
Instead of dirt, I used blood for the blood god for my Night Lords army. Make is seem like it just plowed thorugh civilians. Also removed the lights since they all have night vision.
AHH! HERESY! The barrels of the combi-bolters aren't drilled out! HERETIC! Great job as always, really enjoy your vids and gain a lot of quick tricks to add to the toolbox.
Cracking vid, battle worn suits imperial styled vehicles. Could you consider a guide on weathering a black tank like what you'd see for dark angels or iron hands? Its just I've noticed that there is little info on the topic
Great vid as usual. One tip you might want to consider is to buy a (cheap) lav microphone for your headshots. You would instantly get rid of the resounding.
That is a very nice video! One question regarding use of pigments and powders: do you fix them in the end with something, so they don't come off when the model is moved around the table?
Thank you! I don’t use fixing powder but you can if you want! I don’t find it an issue, and I don’t like the results I’ve had so far with fixing powders so I just leave it alone and I’m careful with them when moving!
This is not a criticism, but an observation, regarding the bullet holes. In my opinion, the front armor of a tank is usually the strongest, and it would take something very powerful to penetrate it completely. Rather than having bullet holes, what about bullet dents so to speak? Something that has impacted the front armor, but failed to penetrate, leaving a small crater. Great tutorial nonetheless.
Great job, love a bit (or alot) of weathering me, and the shell holes in the chassis look bang on. Nightshift/Martin Kovac on youtube is a dark lord when it comes to painting and weathering armour, very inspiring
I personally don't seal them, I find that adding a varnish changes the look of the powder effect. I add less weathering powder to a model I think will be played with a lot, and most of the weathering powders are focused around the bases of models anyway, where they're not handled as much. Can't promise you that none of it will come off, but I never really have much trouble with my game pieces!
Thanks so much! I don’t seal my weathering powder, I don’t like the effect it has but I’m just extra careful with handling and don’t put weathering powder where it would be picked up!
You can seal it by spraying water onto the surface but it will still be more sensitive than regular paint and as said before it will not look like dust anymore - more like mud but still nice and realistic.
Hey! I'm having some issues win getting my tanks coated with the blood angels red (from your amazing Thousand sons video) Do you have any tips on how to get a non streaky coat on those surfaces, and battle damage on a red tank? Do I also use leadbelcher or another colour?
Yes make sure you give the tank a coat of paint and the spray. Maybe even a light stipple to create a little texture on the flat surface. This should cause the contrast to be more manageable on the tank.
My World-Eaters have a urban city feel to the base, As I want them to look like they're fighting on amateura during the Shadow crusade. Is there any weathering effects to put on your vehicles to show that they've been through a demolished city?
Not really people say there a stand in for these brushes but there to long and soft to get the same effect. You want than a little stiff and rounded. You know what I mean?
“Tip in the hole…” I’ll grow up one day!
Hahahaa never.
Mate, you make that look so easy. Love the bullet holes. Looks amazing!!
Thank you so much. Glad you like them.
That’s an interesting technique to make the bolter holes after paint. I always figured it was something that was done before painting! Thank you!!!
Normaly you do do this before painting. Unfortunately I didn’t have that option but. It seams to work either way.
Amazing work friend, I can't get over how good those bullet holes look. Definitely adding that to my battle damage repertoire
Glad you liked them and that your going to give it a try.
The model looks good and you have some great tips! Thanks for sharing this.
Anytime pal. Glad you like them.
Heck yes! I am always down for some nice weathering :D Thanks for the tips. As for the pigment powder, you can also make your own from cheap chalk pastels (not the oil kind)
You can indeed. I somehow failed at this but let’s not talk about that.
Alright hear me out, part two to this video. LED and clear colored resin inside behind the holes youve made make it look molten or as if there is fire inside
Hahaha that’s a bit advanced. And we don’t play games in the dark so you won’t see it lol
Looks great again mate thanks for all your hard work 👍
No thank you for watching.
Looks so great. Thanks for the tips!
Glad you enjoyed the video, cheers for the comment!

@@Jokreher I prefer to have it both ways. I find one complements the other.
Those are some gorgeous bullet holes, and so easy!
Yeah super simple to do but add so much to a model! Hope you try them out soon!
Glad you posted this. I just finished my first ever vehicle, a rhino proxie (rhinos are just too small), and and weathering it now.
Awesome dude. Glad you liked it.
Love your channel. You paint extremely well but keep it simple so Noobs like me can actually achieve a decent table top standard. Thank you.
Glad you like the content pal.
Thank you for this, Will help a lot with my tanks, have 4 rhinos, 3 sabers, kratos.
Nice. Hope it helped.
Instead of dirt, I used blood for the blood god for my Night Lords army. Make is seem like it just plowed thorugh civilians.
Also removed the lights since they all have night vision.
That’s so grim and I love it.
Looks great!
Thank you.
Thanks!
That’s so kind pal. Thank you.

You know I have one for the battle reports. You think I’d just sue it for these parts. I guess I shall start.
Would love to see a rust effect tutorial. Something I've always struggled with.

Thank you as always.
Fantastic video. I’ll be putting bolt round damage in mine after this
That’s ace dude glad to hear.
@@MediocreHobbies I attempted a couple of years ago with typhus corrosion. Didn’t work so well haha

Solid idea. But also there are some crazy guns in 40K for punching through armour.
That's a subscription.
Cheers pal.

Ace man I will have to check his channel out. Thanks. Glad you liked the video.
Great stuff. Do you seal pigments afterwards at all? I always worry about them coming off with handling in games.

Can't promise you that none of it will come off, but I never really have much trouble with my game pieces!
Cracking vid do pigment powders need any sort of varnish or medium to set them?
Some people do indeed use a mat varnish. I don’t like the effect it has on the powder myself.
@@MediocreHobbies thanks for the reply as I have been nervous about approaching pigmemts
This looks amazing! Do you seal the Weathering Powder at all or just leave it as is?
Thanks so much! I don’t seal my weathering powder, I don’t like the effect it has but I’m just extra careful with handling and don’t put weathering powder where it would be picked up!

Chipping and some black and grey westhing powder will do a nice job.
As someone who is also doing a late Heresy era army this was really great! Especially since I'm so new to painting, doesn't seem too hard haha
Your name is amazing
@@bribri9917 lmao thank you! The most evil LotR guy plus gay equals perfect name
Glad you found the video helpful pal
Do you recommend using makeup brushes at all?
Not really people say there a stand in for these brushes but there to long and soft to get the same effect. You want than a little stiff and rounded. You know what I mean?
