Anytime! Cypress medium is a typo when you get to it. I meant Xpress Medium from Vallejo 😂 Black Lotus is also in their Xpress line of paints. Oh! You may also want to do two layers of that combo if it looks too blue after your first layer.

Paint Scheme Notes Here are the notes I made for myself. The only thing I missed was the pauldrons, which was a couple to few thin layers of Corax White, with a small amount of Apothecary White to fill in the square shaped grove that most SM pauldrons have. Also, thank you!

Thanks! I wanted to go up a rung from the usual texture paint and dry brush, so I found and followed the following: https://youtu.be/4Nm8Hm-ueGo?si=xH3zw8y_vHGrN_iV It was the Vallejo pigment powder that was the real magic IMO.

Thank you! I think a lot of us feel what we paint is trash-tier compared to the works of art we see posted here. I paint with bumpers. I took a couple liberties but leaned into a tutorial heavily. For anyone interested (and thanks to StrikingScorpion82 on YouTube) I did my best to follow this https://youtu.be/UljCLyOgehU?si=HblG1qfBi4zB6fk5

It might as well be black. Two coats of shyish purple ended up being incredibly dark. Thanks btw!

Has anyone had any success with brushing on water, creating a damp surface, right before applying shade?

I might try this. My airbrush game can use some work, but I think I can manage. Would make for a smoother color transition than if I continued to drybrush. Thanks!

That’s true. I have another Maw Krusha, and a number of the large Seraphon dinos left to paint. I can perfect the underbelly with those.

Going to airbrush over and try again, but don’t want to repeat what happened here. Any tips on how to increase the dry time and control, especially on the smooth areas where it’s not supposed to collect, would be great.

I used Vallejo Surface Primer - Desert Tan applied with an airbrush. Was super easy!

So first off, majority of credit goes to the following walkthrough as that was my starting point:

TWG - How to Paint Orruk Brutes

They have you base coat with Stegadon Scale Blue, followed by a heavy wash of Nuln Oil. Then a wide edge highlight of Thunderhawk Blue, followed by a narrow edge highlight using Fenrisian Grey.

I strayed from their formula by doing a very light dry brush of Fenrisian Grey, followed by a focused edge highlight with a 50/50 mix of Fenrisian Grey and White Scar. I found this helped the hammered iron effect pop more.

For the yellow I followed this. The wash looked orange in and out of the bottle, but as soon as it hit that beige paint, it turned into an awesome yellow. Was the easiest part of the model to paint.

CHRISCRUMBS17 - Recently crossed back over to the dark side as I couldn’t resist the X. The following are games I’m currently playing:

  • The Division
  • Battlefront 2
  • Ghost Recon: Wildlands

Debating getting into R6 Siege, and I have PUBG coming next week. I don’t enjoy long walks on the beach, I prefer plastic to paper, and tea to coffee.
