Grot Tank - Orktober 2022
Painting and construction are complete!
Woohoo! The painting is complete and I was able to get everything attached to the base, with no breakage (apart from the Runtherd’s temporary arm amputation).
For the grots and runtherd:
- Glued the minis onto temporary plastic bases.
- Primed them with Tamiya Fine grey spray primer.
- Washed everything with Citadel Nuln Oil.
- For green skin I used mostly Green Stuff World’s Acid Green.
- Eyes are painted white then I use GSW True Blood to make them bright red and shiny. For me, the shine is key to adding a sense of life!
- At this point I lost track of the dozens of colours I dipped into, mixed, tried and rejected, etc. I swear I’ll keep better records inth future. I will say that I mostly used GSW Dipping Inks, Citadel Contrast, Vallejo Game Color, and AK Interactive Intense.
The tank was:
- Tamiya fine grey and nuln oil again.
- Vallejo Camo Green for the metalwork.
- Citadel Typhus Corrosion and GSW Orange Rust for the rusty bits.
- Ammo by Mig Starship Filth and Engine Oil for making it greasy and grubby.
The mud is:
- Vallejo Thick Mud – European and Brown
- Mixed grass flock from a model railway store, might have been made by Javis.
- Garden Flower Set from Gamer Grass.
- Scrubland Base Ready mix from Geek Gaming Supplies.
- Green Stuff World Tall Shrubbery.
