A long time ago at a Hobby Weekend far far away…
Day 2 - Airbrush
I began the day by priming my walkers with GW Mechanicum Grey.
Next step was to get my hands on the airbrush and for that I needed OTT’s John. Fortunately he was kind enough to oblige me and you can see a little more of his tuition here:

The highlights on the walker were built up using GW Dawnstone, followed by Administratum Grey. The final step was to use Corvus Black to work into the damaged sections as well as any areas that looked they might get more wear and tear.
This image shows the airbrush work on the downed walker. The regular walker is just primed and you can see the contrast between the two.
I moved on to the the standard At-St which I gave the same treatment.
Returning to my regular paints and brushes, I worked over base with Vallejo German Camo Beige, while the rocks were painted with German Camo Medium Brown.
The base that the walker is mounted on (crashed into), has pretty good texture to it. However all the bases in my Legion army have been done with GW Agrellan Earth, so I decided to use this in some areas to blend the walker further into the base.
The Agrellan Earth proved really useful as it allowed me to fill any gaps that had been left from my hasty assembly of the model. I also used thinned down Agrellan to further colour the beige I had painted, breaking up the overall colour. Once it had fully dried I gave the base a good wash of Agrax Earthshade, covering the rocks and blending onto the walker in some places.
