Grot Mege Bomma
10: Painting – Primer and base coat.
With the model finally finished it’s time to start painting. There’s a lot of surface area to cover with this thing so I started be priming it in black with the airbrush.
Then once the primer was dry it was time to start work on the colour. I’ve got a process for giving my orks a distressed look that takes quite a bit of time to do but it’s nice and simple so I tend to stick with it. I take a dark metallic paint, in this case a Scale Colour Black Metal and use an old GW Large Dry brush and liberally apply it all over the model. I don’t mind a few bits of black remaining and I’m not trying to get the colour into all of the details. Once that is done I then use a lighter metallic paint, this time a Vallejo Steel and using the same brush give everything an light dry brush. Then the last stage of this first part is to give everything a really good wash with Nuln Oil to nock all the colours back.
