This month's step-by-step covers painting of plastic ruin scenery for the popular GW game Warcry. I've painted this kit several times, both for my own table and as commissions. It's always been a fantastic backdrop for games and photos alike. Check the Gallery for a few examples.

Let's get into the tutorial.

 

That's all until next time. Hope you find it helpful!

I’ve been looking forward to this after you announced it a few weeks back. I’m a big fan of typhus corrosion as a grime layer! The logical order you put it in and the clarity of the instructions is incredibly helpful - I’ve just bought some of the terrain and was waiting for this before getting started. Wondering if you have come across True Earth weathering powders and paints? A bit extravagant- but great for finishing touches and Rust / corrosion focal points.

@Razorbug - Thank you! I haven’t heard of True Earth, looks interesting. I prefer to keep most of my painting products water-based, so this looks like something I may try.

Thanks Ana for posting the tutorial, I’ve been admiring your terrain for some time now and using it in my own project mood board. So I got myself some craft acrylics and some sponge and a piece of the Warcry ruins to try it out… The result lacks the “Ana magick”, I think the main problem was that even when super-diluted, my grey ‘glaze’ overpowered the zenithal undercoat. I’m going to have another go, using Medium rather than water to create a thinner glaze that should cover better. My instinct is to dry-brush as well, but I’m going to persevere with the sponge! A video would really help, don’t give up on it grin

A video would definitely be better than a written tutorial, but it demands its own skills and resources. Who knows, maybe one day.
