Necromunda: The Halls of Hive Primus
Things got dark.... Grimdark!
Although I was pleased with the first run of the kits the initial paint scheme seemed off to me, far to bright and shiny for the 41st millennium, this is the Grim Darkness of the far future after all.
With that in mind I went back and started fresh with a new paint scheme in mind.
Rustoleum do a style of paint known as Autumn, its a texture spray paint with flecks of brown, orange and black. perfect for doing dark aged rusty effects for metal.
These were the original stairs using bright silver and rust effect spray paints.
The same stairs this time using Bright silver, Gun Metal and Autumn texture paint.A few before and after shots to show off the difference in the overall finish, I think the new approach gives a much more dirtier industrial feel which is ideal for a hive.
to add a little more variation and visual interest I took some of the old cut out sections and gave them a heavy spray of yellow paint before installing them back into the column, not only does this give a bit of variation it also helps fill the gaps when a wall section is added between columns'.
