The brass/bronze finish of my Drukhari vehicles. Pretty much the same as my troops, but allows for further weathering.
- Basecoat with Runelord Brass . I applied this through an airbrush over black primer. However, you can also use the can primer Runelord Brass but it's a bit more like rose gold.
- Carefully glaze each panel with Guilliman Flesh . I thinned it slightly with Contrast Medium . Pull the paint up away from the bottom edges, and down towards the middle from the top edges. Light placement!
- Line shade with Cryptek Armourshade Gloss or Wyldwood . Add some of this to the previous shade to do very dark patches.
- Add streaks and marks by using different concentrations and mixes of both shades. You can use water and quick downward motions to mimic the flow of the grime. Keep applying - layer some, make some longer, some shorter.
- Use a thinned application of Runelord Brass to tidy any bits you're unhappy with, and do a thick edge highlight on sharp edges.
- Glaze Canoptek Alloy to the brighter panel parts. You could mix Silver RLM01 Metallic into the base colour which gets a very similar tone to Canoptek Alloy.
- Apply any transfers. I used the Dark Elf transfers.
- Final edge highlights and chips with Silver RLM01 Metallic .
- Other details are the same as the Drukhari troops.
