My Attempt At Painting: Fallout Wasteland Warfare - The Tabletop Hub

Hey everyone, Sam here, back for another painting guide! If you’re new to my projects, ‘My Attempt At Painting’ is a painting series for the amateur and beginner painter out there, I’m still a fledgling painter myself but hopefully by watching these videos and checking out these guides it’ll help you progress on your journey. If I can do it, so can you!

Today we’re making a start on the Fallout Wasteland Warfare two player starter set with the Super Mutant Hounds and I wanted to come up with a really simple, really easy to do, yet effective paint scheme. Today we’re only using about 5 paints and two washes and you should be able to achieve a look similar to mine in only a matter of hours. So lets get stuck in.

After priming my miniatures I used some Army Painters Army Green, added a little bit of water just to thin it down a little on my wet palette and painted the entire body of the hound. Now don’t worry if you need to give the miniature another coat or two of Army Green in order to cover it evenly, it’s always better to add a few even coats for a nice smooth finish than paint onto the miniature with paint straight out of the dropper as it can leave you’re miniature with a thick, gloopy looking finish.

Once this was done I got some Vallejo’s Bone White, but really any off-white paint here would work like Army Painter’s Skeleton Bone for example, and I painted the hounds teeth.

For the gums and the skin on the interior of the hounds mouth I mixed one drop of Army Painter’s Monster Brown with one drop of Crusted Sore which gave me the colour i was looking for, if you want to go one step further I’d recommend using this mixture to paint the veins or some deep recesses of the Hound. If you look at some imagery of the irradiated pups from the game you will notice so discolouration on the skin in the deep recesses and this colour works well for that.

Next I gave the hound a wash with Citadel’s Agrax Earthshade, this is where it really starts to come together. Now don’t worry if the skin doesn’t look dark or dirty enough after this first coating, we’ll come back to it in a second.

After the first wash layer had dried I took some Army Green, added some Matt White and added a few highlights to the hound especially around the face where I wanted the players eye to catch, I didn’t highlight extensively as honestly I didn’t think it needed much and I’m also not a massive highlighter kind of guy but some subtle highlights work well.

Next I went back and added another layer of Agrax Earthshade to the miniature and once that dried it was on to the base.

I couldn’t tell if the base was on roughed cement, gravel or dirt so I gave it a coating of Vallejo’s Stonewall Grey and accented this with Army Painters Dungeon Grey on the bit of the base that looked like broken slabs or pave stones.

I equally wanted to experiment a bit more with basing with these miniatures, I haven’t added much to the bases in any of my other painting guides aside from mud in a tub so this time around I added a little bit of Vallejo’s mud in a tub (or more accurately their Brown Earth Diorama Effect Texture Paint) and then took some Summer Undergrowth from Army Painter and tastefully added it to the mud with some superglue.

I gave the entire base a quick wash with Agrax Earthshade and finished off the miniatures with a layer of Anti-Shine from Army Painter just to seal it all in.

And folks that is it, that is how I painted the Super Mutant Hounds from Fallout Wasteland Warfare. This is a really simple way to paint your Super Mutant Hounds but hopefully you’ll agree that it looks pretty cool and pretty effectively captures the look of the characters.

I’m going to be bringing you an updated version of my Super Mutant painting guide next and I’ll be using very similar paint schemes for the flesh tones there but if you want to see more of this kind of content from me feel free to head over to my YouTube channel and subscribe there to be kept up to date!

Until next time, wanderers!
