Dan Does Fallout: Wasteland Warfare

Liberty Prime arrived and everything else immediately got swept aside. My goodness it’s big!

Main painting steps were quite simple:

1. Prime Mournfang Brown spray (GW rattle can)

2. Reverse zenithal (upward) airbrush of Army Painter Dark Tone to darken shadows

3. Shallow but slightly downward zenithal airbrush of Forge World Valdor Gold

4. 45 degree zenithal airbrush of Vallejo Steel

5. Airbrush Army Painter Strong Tone mostly into shadows to reinforce them but also some randomly to grubby it up a bit.

6. Ushabti Bone mixed with a little silver for the bombs

7. Balthasar Gold for the coils and a few random other details

8. Weathering powders to create rust effects. Mainly Forge World rust colours but also a random mud one. I just scoop some out into a jar lid, grab an old brush and just mash it on. The varnish step later will fix it in place.

That’s basically it for Prime himself apart fromr the glow effects to come later.

For the base, I went for the same technique as my regular bases, it’s just a lot bigger! Seriously, this think is basically a discus.

I painted the whole thing GW Baneblade Brown then blocked in the first Red, Grey and Silver to come to hand. I then washed the Red Rocket parts with Nuln Oil and the rocks with Agrax Earthshade.

Once dry I then randomly blobbed on some ink washes. 6:1 water to ink. Brown, Sepia and Skin wherever felt right. The skin gives a rusty effect, the brown a dirty effect and sepia somewhere in between. All over the base.

Once dry a light drybrush of GW Zandri Dust, mostly over the ground,  very lightly on the items.

Then the same mashing on of the same weathering powders used above but much more liberally to make it really dusty, rusty, dirty.
